The Trump Presidency 13: The (James) Baker's Dozen

The Republicans complained for 8 years and voted 40+ times to repeal the ACA. Trump claimed during his campaign he would get rid of it and replace it with a plan that would provide better care to more people for less money. They controlled all branches of government and accomplished nothing because they have no plan.

Now 2+ years later as he gears up for reelection he touts the same BS about how they have a plan for great healthcare but you can't see it until after reelecting him.

You have to be brain dead to believe this garbage

That is one of the best articles on Trump I've ever seen. It describes Trump perfectly. He is an odious slug of a creature. I'd say "man" but he is no "man".

I concur. Laughed my arse off reading through that, from start to finish.

My favourite part was the last line, "If being a twat was a tv show, Trump would be the boxed set".

I'm stealing that one!

:thumbsup:
 
And here I thought the Trumps were Swedish...at least that's what Donald and his father claimed for years. Is there a pathological liar gene?

But for decades, Trump denied this German heritage altogether, instead claiming that his grandfather’s roots lay further north, in Scandinavia. “[He] came here from Sweden as a child,” Trump asserted in his co-written book The Art of the Deal. In fact, his cousin and family historian John Walter told The New York Times, Trump maintained the ruse at the request of his own realtor father, Fred Trump, who had obfuscated his German ancestry to avoid upsetting Jewish friends and clients. “After the war,” Walter told the Times, “he’s still Swedish. [The lie] was just going, going, going.”

Oh, the fickle finger of fate! But for his grandfather's draft dodging (runs in the family apparently), we'd have been spared Trump completely:

(Friedrich Trump) married a woman from his German hometown, Kallstadt, where his parents had owned vineyards, and attempted to return home with his fortune. But when his draft dodging came to the fore, the couple lost their Bavarian citizenship and were obliged to return to America for good. There, they had three children: Trump’s father, Fred, was the middle child.

Well, that's not entirely accurate. Trump does, on occasion, make jokes. They're simplistic and rare, but it does happen.

The rest is spot on.

Jokes like this?

Russia, if you're listening, I hope you're able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing. I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.

trump was just on TV and said

"My father is German, was German. Born in a very wonderful place in Germany."

Fred Trump was born in New York.

Maybe he's just trying to shore up his white-nationalist/racist voter base. "Vote for me, I'm directly connected to the country that gave you hitler".

No, I meant the "must be the intelligence agencies" when the power cut during a Q&A with the media just as he was talking about the intelligence agencies. Not a great joke but it was mildly funny.

With Trump, we can't be sure he didn't really think that.
