The Trump Presidency: Part 21

[The Atheist]

This.

I'm disappointed in Democrats for not already having an attack ad with the "I take no responsibility" quote.

No, I think that would be exactly the wrong thing for them to do.

They would be seen as trying to take advantage of a tragedy and it could easily backfire. Anyway, as noted George Conway and other Republicans are on it - much, much better to let them do it and keep Joe's hands clean.

Melania shares a birthday with Shakespeare? Well that's astrology disproved.

Excellent!

Um... what? He's going to sue the "Noble Committee" if it doesn't take back "Noble" prizes for journalism?

That is priceless. I've said it before - that bloke is bordering on mentally disabled.

Is spelling Nobel as Noble and then mistaking it for a Pulitzer more of his sarcasm?

Yes, he is very often mistaken sarcastic. Tremendously, very powerfully, some people say the best ever sarcastic.

 

[Trebuchet]

Maybe he could win an Ig-Nobel for that!

 

[Resume]

Some say he's the hardest working president ever

TRUMP GOLF COUNT: 249
Cost to Taxpayer: About $133,000,000

Trump Tweets

When will all of the “reporters” who have received Noble Prizes for their work on Russia, Russia, Russia, only to have been proven totally wrong (and, in fact, it was the other side who committed the crimes), be turning back their cherished “Nobles” so that they can be given....

....to the REAL REPORTERS & JOURNALISTS who got it right. I can give the Committee a very comprehensive list. When will the Noble Committee DEMAND the Prizes back, especially since they were gotten under fraud? The reporters and Lamestream Media knew the truth all along....

....Lawsuits should be brought against all, including the Fake News Organizations, to rectify this terrible injustice. For all of the great lawyers out there, do we have any takers? When will the Noble Committee Act? Better be fast!

Oh, sweet Jesus

His minders have sent him to his room and deprived him of his pressers, but they can't prise that phone out of his crazy hands. A barrage of twitter madness to come ...

Hey, now Trump has gotten his sycophants to swallow "sarcastic" (or bleach), he can keep that up with them as a panacea. Mexico pay for the wall? Sarcasm. Only 15 cases? Sarcasm. Ban travel from China? Sarcasm. Make America Great Again? Sarcasm.

I'm surprised he got "committee" right, and even I have some trouble with that one!

Future PDJT: "When I said 'Noble' Prize I was talking about the Pulitzer. You know, the one for journalists. It's a very noble prize. The noblest one that journalists can win."

 

[Giordano]

The first time a journalist won a Nobel prize, for literature, was in 2015. I think maybe one or two more total? None of these were Americans. Perhaps one of those winning the Peace prize for their other activities?

So Trump really doesn’t know the difference between the Pulitzer Prize and the a Nobel prize.

And what on Earth is he referring to re: reporting on Russia and it being the other side that committed the crimes? The involvement of Russia in the USA elections, something just confirmed again, this time by a Republican control investigation?

All because, unlike 99.9% of the population, he was incapable of defusing the disinfectant disaster by wryly laughing and saying something like, "It was a senior moment, folks. Yeah, don't try ingesting much less injecting disinfectant. Sorry about that."

Which would endear him to people and therefore be a win.

Trumps biggest problem.. is Trump.

If he kept his mouth shut, let experts do all the talking, he would come out as calm and thoughtful. He'd be looked at as a leader. If he also expressed concern over the ill and the dead, he'd be compassionate.

Instead we get Sarcasm, and how great his ratings are.

He has always claimed it's the Dems that got Russian help.

Nuh uh. You claimed it's the Dems helping Russia!!

 

[blutoski]

Just in case you don't already know the answer....

Not only did he not turn up, there was no briefing, and he tweeted that they were a waste of time because of the "lamestream media".

Basically, he ragequit the briefings.

 

[Trebuchet]

Captain Swoop made me look at Trump's Twitter a several hours ago to see if it was real. It was. So now I looked to see if it was still up. It is. How Noble of him not to hid his idiocy after it's been pointed out.

 

[Aridas]

This.

I'm disappointed in Democrats for not already having an attack ad with the "I take no responsibility" quote.

I think I've seen a number of them, personally, though with the caveat that I don't watch TV, so I saw them over the internet.

Biden hit that on March 15th with an ad, for example, by the look of it, and very probably has hit it since, though I'm not keeping great track of who is putting out which ads. Priorities USA's ad that the Trump campaign is attacking a minor TV station over airing also pokes at it hard, as another example.

The Lincoln project has one out using that. I’ve seen the short version pop up before YouTube videos a bunch.

The Lincoln Project is made up of Republicans who oppose Trump, incidentally, so that probably isn't a valid one to invoke when it comes to the Democrats.

 

[Stacyhs]

Aw, come on, guys! "Noble" was just a typo....4 times.

 

[Ladewig]

Both side will be doing A LOT of focus group testing before airing any ads.

The Dems will figure out what works.

Almost certainly they will.

Well maybe very, very likely.

Probably?

We are ******.

 

[Ladewig]

Ahh, I see what has raised President Trump’s ire.
In 2019, three New York Times reporters won for

an exhaustive 18-month investigation of President Donald Trump’s finances that debunked his claims of self-made wealth and revealed a business empire riddled with tax dodges.​

Whoops.

ETA
that’s not the only prize that was won for reporting on Trump.

I agree. Never underestimate the Democrats ability to steal defeat from the jaws of victory.
