The Trump Presidency: Part 20

[Elagabalus]

I heard this live in the car on CNN.

I assumed when he said “The metrics right here”, he was motioning at Fauci and Birks et al.

It wasn’t until I got home and saw the clip on Twitter that I realized maybe invoking “The Principle of Charity” is inappropriate in Trump’s case.

“The metrics right here. And over here are the standard, imperial sizes. They're all right here! I remember whattshisname, Larry, head of the Trump motor pool over at Trump Towers. Used to joke about wanting to "do" Melania. Funny guy, fantastic guy. Anyway, we needed new wrench sets for the mechanics. Larry wanted Snap-On, of course he did, Snap-On is a fantastic American company making the highest quality products. So I told him, 'listen Larry, Snap-On is a fantastic American company making the highest quality products produced right here in the USA but at those prices, you gotta' be outta' your friggin mind'.”

Trump: "People can't even believe the job we've done."

first true thing he's said in weeks.

"Look. They are standing there, jaws agape, eyes wide. One person just literally pinched himself to make sure he wasn't dreaming. They totally can't believe it!"

 

[Ladewig]

Even worse, he can't even keep his own ******* nonsense straight. It's clear that the main reason he lashes out at reporters is that, since he's too lazy to actually learn the facts and have media/PR professionals prep him for press conferences, he is incapable of answering even simple questions.

For example: "While it's true that I don't have the direct power to order the reopening of businesses, I have the most experienced, best qualified experts advising me and I can in turn advise the governors of what the experts suggest and make recommendations based on the available information."

It's so ******* easy.

Well, it’s easy for people who are not suffering from a mental disorder that distorts your thinking to the point that you have an unshakeable belief that if you claim that authority frequently enough then they will let you have that authority and then they will praise you for using that authority so wisely.

When the Failing @nytimes or Amazon @washingtonpost writes a story saying “unnamed sources said”, or any such phrase where a person’s name is not used, don’t believe them. Most of these unnamed sources don’t exist. They are made up to defame & disparage. They have no “source”...

....Does anyone ever notice how few quotes from an actual person are given nowadays by the Lamestream Media. Very seldom. The unnamed or anonymous sources are almost always FAKE NEWS.

WE WILL BUILD IT AGAIN!

People, all sorts of people, are coming up to me and saying "Sir..."

 

[Mumbles]

Obviously, I expect nothing (and worse than nothing) from him.

What I might dare to dream is that morons who support Trump (redundant) might, just might figure out that Trump isn't even minimally competent.

All three former presidents still dealing with their oxygen addiction must look at these press "briefings" and shake their heads at the straight-up softballs being lobbed by the reporters (that Trump can never answer in a coherent fashion), wishing that they had it so easy while they were in charge.

Clinton: "Wow, this guy's really messing up."

GWB: "Heh, I'd be happier that people are looking back at me presidency fondly, except he's such a catastrophe."

Obama: "Michelle! Come watch this birther idiot flail around at these easy questions! Thought you could do it just because I made it look easy..."

So, Donald “Many people are saying” Trump is upset that newspapers are using unnamed sources (as they have for over a century).

Once again, President Trump indignantly accuses others of things he has done.

In the future, I wonder how many books on psychology and/or mental illnesses will Trump be used as an example? Projecting, narcissism, pathological lying,etc.

Well with Trump's help the USA now leads in something as the country has the highest death toll from Covid-19 in the world.

The thing is he can only perceive the world working as he does, so since he knows when he says “some people are saying” or “sir you are...” he believes other people are doing the same.

Trump's mind, random samples over the years. "How can I profit? How can I profit?"

During deadly pandemic, 2020. "How can I profit?"

Hey! We've been first in confirmed cases for a while now! In fact, our confirmed cases numbers have been steadily becoming more similar to our military budget numbers! We're already more than the next three highest countries combined and almost to being higher than the next four combined.

Hey, he's got millions of income lost through the pandemic to make up for, and if you happen to be the president, it's only fair you get to use your position to recover some of it.

What are they gonna do? Impeach him?

 

[Ladewig]

Shouldn’t that be “recover all of it”?

ETA
D’oh. This is Trump. It should read “recover 130% of it.”

 

[Ziggurat]

You actually believe China's official numbers are even remotely close to the truth?

Bwahahahahaha!

Mail in ballots substantially increases the risk of crime and VOTER FRAUD!

So now the Fake News @nytimes is tracing the CoronaVirus origins back to Europe, NOT China. This is a first! I wonder what the Failing New York Times got for this one? Are there any NAMED sources? They were recently thrown out of China like dogs, and obviously want back in. Sad!

Governor
@GavinNewsom
of California has been very nice & highly supportive about the great job we have done, working together, for California. That is the good news, but this is the bad. He is unfairly under attack by the Radical Left Dems, MSDNC etc. He is strong! Will he fold?

The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board doesn’t have a clue on how to fight and win. Their views on Tariffs & Trade are losers for the U.S., but winners for other countries, including China. If we followed their standards, we’d have no Country left. They should love Sleepy Joe!

Watching @FoxNews on weekend afternoons is a total waste of time. We now have some great alternatives, like @OANN.

“The President and the Federal Government are doing an excellent job. When they say the death toll isn’t going to be as high as reported, they (the opposition) act like they’re sad because it’s lower. I think they are (Press Conferences) wonderful.” West Virginia Resident, C Span
