The Trump Presidency: Part 17

One of the great things about the China Deal is the fact that, for various reasons, we do not have to go through the very long and politically complex Congressional Approval Process. When the deal is fully negotiated, I sign it myself on behalf of our Country. Fast and Clean!

Will be with our two GREAT Senators, @SenJohnKennedy & @SenBillCassidy, tonight in Louisiana. These two hard working, really smart men, love their Country and love their State. We will hopefully add a Great New Republican Governor to the beautiful Louisiana mix! See you tonight!

That doesn't sound very wise given how easy it seems to pwn him completely.

That also doesn't sound very legal - the President unilaterally approving a trade deal.

Republican Governor Larry Hogan just came out in support of the impeachment inquiry. He’s the third Republican Governor to do so.

Assuming he's talking about Fast Track Authority, the agreement is still approved or denied by Congress, but they can't amend or filibuster it. There's also a time limit.

David Frum today:
The rule seems to be:

When Trump says he knows "everything" - that's when he knows nothing.

When Trump says he knows "nothing" - that's when he knows something. And the something he knows is a guilty something.

I heard him use the "Sir..." lie in his rally speech last night.

Someone needs to remind Barr that Nixon's AG John Mitchell went to jail.

I've been thinking about that as well. Remember his wife Martha?

Putin probably isn't on okay terms with Turkey, though, right? Because of NATO, and because Turkey wants control of Syria, which is currently Russia's client state?

They're on good enough terms for Russia to sell a Turkey an anti-aircraft missile system.

What a disgraceful legal system for this guy to still be around after all of these years. A vicious killer who destroyed so many great people & families!

Probably due to calling it a national security emergency?

Good things are happening at China Trade Talk Meeting. Warmer feelings than in recent past, more like the Old Days. I will be meeting with the Vice Premier today. All would like to see something significant happen!

... like when there was a competent adult in the White House?

The Do Nothing Democrats. Thanks Vicky!


Rep. Vicky Hartzler
@RepHartzler
It's a shame that House Democrats choose to engage in political theatrics rather than legislating on behalf of the people.
We need to pass the #USMCA, secure our southern border, combat drug smuggling and related crimes in our communities, and address prescription drugs costs.

House Freedom Caucus
@freedomcaucus
Being in contact with a key witness and then lying about it renders Adam Schiff unqualified to lead a fair and just inquiry. Members of the House @FreedomCaucus call on Speaker Pelosi to request the immediate recusal of Adam Schiff.

That Adderall must have kicked in. It's a tweetstorm of squirrels.

Note his obsession with TV personalties.

 

[Andy_Ross]

He's retweeting loads of stuff to do with USMCA if he thinks it agrees with him but it's all too tedious to post up.

 

[JoeMorgue]

Note his obsession with TV personalties.

Because this is a man who, even if he even bothers to show up at actual intelligence or political briefings at all, has to have everything bullet point dumb downed to the level of a kindergartner and by his own handler's admission spends most of his time, ergo getting most of his info, from the TV.

I don't know where it falls in the "What's wrong with Donald Trump" scale exactly, but every flaw about this man is magnified because he's so intentionally and purposely so ill informed about everything.

You left out the worst part:he thinks he knows everything and will not listen to anybody, thinking his "gut feelings" are infallible.
