The Trump Presidency 15

Trump Tweeted

Thank you, so nice, but we are getting it done anyway!

@optimisthawg13
The sad part about it is that we will never know what all @realDonaldTrump could have done for this country if he didn’t have to defend himself against these attacks. He has done such a great job with unemployment, the economy, the military, and fixing outdated policies.

The Russian Whore in Chief just told four Congresswomen to go back where they came from. The stupid bitch doesn't even know that only one of the four wasn't born here. He's not even smart enough to get being a filthy bigot right.

Actually, telling black people who have families in the US going back centuries to "go back to Africa" is *exactly* the correct use of the term, particularly for a guy whose family moved to the US relatively recently. For that matter, white supremacists have been known to fling the term at Native Americans who are on tribal rolls. Hateful *and* ignorant is how they like to be.

I have to say that I am impressed by Trump's skill to literally single-handedly fill the entire news-cycle, day after day, week after week, year after year.
I know that he does nothing else all day, but still...

It's not a skill. It's a reflection of the importance of the office of POTUS.

If Trump were just some anonymous crank standing on a soapbox in front of the Podunk courthouse he wouldn't even get space in the Podunk Monthly Gazetteer, no matter how much crap dribbled out of his bullhorn, or how many times he did it.

Pretty much anything he says is going to be newsworthy, and when everything he says is completely bat-**** crazy that only adds to the effect.

A completely bat-**** crazy POTUS is certainly newsworthy, don't you think?

Sure, it isn't new news. Everyone already knows he's completely bat-**** crazy. But that doesn't make it less important. The man is the office.

It's going to be interesting to see how our resident Trump supporters are going to excuse that tweet away.

With great restraint, Trump held back telling the blacks to go back to Africa!

ok, then I'm impressed by Trump's ability to get bat-**** crazy way beyond the point I thought possible.

(_) - Standard "Buuuuuuutttttttt Clinton..."
(_) - Hairsplitting over the meaningless fact that Trump didn't refer to anyone by name so they'll pretend there's actually ambiguity about who he was talking to. (The fact that it wouldn't make a difference, his statement would be racist in literally any context will be ignored.)
(_) - *Formless, contextless faux-outage*

Pointing out that Trump is deranged means that you are suffering from Trump Derangement Symptome.

Pointing out Trump is a racist makes you the real racist.

I had no doubt the racists and bigots out there in MAGALand would be cheerleading for their favorite president.* That's a given. I'm interested in seeing how our resident Trump supporters would excuse it away.

*(but they're not racists or bigots. That's just how the libruls are painting them)

Quibble - I disagree with "correct." "Normal" would be more accurate.

In more problematic news...

Police: 69-year-old man dies after attacking migrant jail.

Looks like the guy tried to commit suicide and burn down the place all in one move? Also, there's a claim that the guy was an anarchist, so, if true, it would be one of the actual extreme leftists in the country and potentially one of the rare left-wing associated terrorist attacks.

If I burn myself with boiling water making tea, I have to go yell at the warm water in my shower, apologize to the cool water in my fridge, and the ice cubes in my freezer suddenly aren't cold anymore.

That's how almost all political discussions sound to me.

All class.

He reminds me of a drunk Maori bloke I saw one night screaming "Go Home!" at anyone who looked like they weren't born in NZ.

Dear Gawd, he's an *******.

To the Trump supporters on this forum: How can you continue justifying this stuff? Why do you hate America? Because Trump is the antithesis of everything this great country stands for.

 

[Norman Alexander]

I realise Trump has always been an outright racist since way back when, decades. But he has usually kept it to himself. As a businessman he knows it's not really good for business. So what I'm hearing are the dulcet tones and thoughts of SS-Ober-Gruppenfuhrer Miller, cross-eyed Nazi, race-baiter and White Supremacist, provoking him to tweet more openly.

It's easy to do. The Squad is getting more news popularity than Trump now. And ratings in the form of TV time are all that drive Trump these days. So by dropping a few broad hints or turning the discussion in that direction, get him worked up so he tweets something outrageous that will get the spotlight back on him.

Trump, of course, doesn't give a stuff any more about the politics of what falls out of his pie-hole. Who knows if he means anything he says or not. He sure doesn't. But this was a calculated political provocation, something he isn't good at arranging. It is an attempt to turn attention from the ICE raids by generating faux outrage with highly provocative language. Trump is too stupid and disconnected these days to consider that...but Miller isn't. Miller would be well aware of the consequences, and has Trump's ear.

Perhaps instead of yelling for Trump's impeachment which is pretty difficult, some of his advisers should be impeached. They might be easier targets and they are also more influential. Because it isn't just the president who can be impeached, it's any administrative official.

Just another day in his presidency.

Reminds me of the time here in the UK when Enoch Powell said black people should be paid a thousand pounds to go back where they came from and Lenny Henry thought it was a great idea, as it was only twenty quid for the train back to Birmingham.

"The Obstuctor in Chief just told four Congresswomen to go back where they came from. "

I told him he should go back to Trump Tower and fix those crimes that started there. And just stay there. Pence can take over. Retire, grandpa! It will get worse if he does not.
