Cont: The Trump Presidency: Part 25

[Giordano]

Trump's makeup line is very visible today

Yet something else I don’t get about Trump. Doesn’t the POTUS have access to the best make-up artists in the world? Yet a 16 year old girl could do it much better. Both color and evenness. I thought maybe this is another deliberate trolling of the media. But then I realized this must be his ego! He does his own make-up because he doesn’t want anyone else to know. He really believes that no one else can detect his clever self-applied Venusian tan as fake!

Or maybe his make-up person hates him...

I don’t know about his hair weave...

He says crap like that all the time, it's purely to get news headlines just like when he says he thinks he deserves another year or another term because the press was mean to him.

He's playing the media.

Like his silly build a wall thing. Everyone knew that was a metaphor or just to grab headlines.

He means everything he says the same ammount, it is if it gets traction or not that matters.

Nancy Pelosi + Democrats have done nothing but obstruct since Day One—this is no different.

@realDonaldTrump
@SenateGOP Crazy Nancy Pelosi wants to Impeach me if I fulfill my Constitutional Obligation to put forth a Nominee for the vacated seat on the United States Supreme Court. This would be a FIRST, even crazier than being Impeached for making a PERFECT phone call to Ukrainian Pres.

No Sherlock. She is allegedly considering this as one way of throwing a shoe in your SC nomination and confirmation machinery to slow it down until after the election.

But after the Woodward interviews I really don’t know if Trump is that stupid, trolling his opposition, or trolling his supporters. I now often think he toys with his supporters amusing himself with just how stupid they are.

Trump introduces Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine and the crowd boos him!
"He's opening up," Trump says, to try to placate the audience.

Trump says the election is a choice between him and Communism!

"I like Putin. He likes me."

"We have F-35s that you can't see," Trump says, seemingly still confused about the fact that stealth planes aren't literally invisible

"It's hydrosonic. I call it super-duper."

That’s over 4 times its speed in air.

 

[Aridas]

Well... looks like Barr's officially designated Seattle, Portland, and NYC as "anarchist" jurisdictions.

Sure looks like an openly political move to me and is quite worth derision. Beyond that, though, this seems to be the result of...

Earlier this month, Donald Trump directed federal officials to find a rationale for cutting government funding to certain cities controlled by Democrats.

Utterly and completely unacceptable. Unfortunately, the Trump Presidency seems like it's been one long onslaught of the utterly and completely unacceptable.

Underwater.................what?!

Maybe he imagines it has the amazing ability to fly in the rain. Tremendous!

My guess is that his eyesight is bad and he's too vain for glasses, too squeamish for contacts, and too narcissistic to realize the whole universe isn't blurry it's just his own perception. I think Trump's incapable of realizing other people don't literally see everything the same way he does.

Unlike Marine 1 I guess.

This wouldn't be the case if Biden or his campaign managers knew how to counter that crap instead of just whining about it.

"If I lose to [Joe Biden] I don't know what I'm gonna do," Trump says in the quick clip. "I will never speak to you again. You'll never see me again."

The short ad then cuts to a picture of a grinning Biden. "I'm Joe Biden and I approve this message,"

"A forest nation"? Endor? Lothlorien? Are there any countries in reality that would describe themselves in that way?

He said it before about Finland when they ‘advised him to rake the forests‘. I think the Finns were a bit bemused by it.

 

[thaiboxerken]

Does he think they have Cloaks of Invisibility?

He thinks stealth mode is accurately portrayed in Marvel movies. He also thinks that Hydra are the good guys.

 

[Safe-Keeper]

If it's a big deal to him that the super-dupers fly faster than the speed of sound, he really is clueless. He might as well brag that they're built with full-metal airframes.

Then again, they're flown by losers and suckers, so why should he care.

I've no doubt it's meant to distract. However, I also believe he will try to get the courts to declare him the winner. He was "playing the media" when he declared he wants to slow down testing, after all....

 

[thaiboxerken]

They seem worried about the "violence of the left". LOL.

First, I thought Trump told them "the left" was so weak it couldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding. And the Trump side, the "right" side, is all-powerful and triumphant and will roll over all opposition unimpeded. And yet...the wimps are now somehow sooper-scary?? HUH??! So which is it: latte-sipping wimps, or a rampaging proletariat at the gates of the Winter Palace? Pick one.

Second, who's a triggered little snowflake now?

They believe both. They think liberals are panzie, tree-hugging, pacifist wimps that are violent, dangerous and to be feared.

 

[JoeMorgue]

Again in a post-facts world consistency is a weakness.

Traditional logic is that if you say one thing and then say the exact contradiction then nobody agrees with you. If you say "The Bleen is Blue" today and "The Bleen is Red" tomorrow, neither the Blue Bleeners or the Red Bleeners will be on your side. But not so anymore.

I will be announcing my Supreme Court Nominee on Saturday, at the White House! Exact time TBA.

The Democrats are only interested in BAILING OUT their badly managed, high crime, Blue States. They are not interested in our workers or small businesses. Crazy Nancy will only do stimulus, which would be helpful, if we couple it with bailout money. Republican States are great!!!

Nissan is rolling out it’s 2021 ROGUE from TENNESSEE. Great!

 

[Trebuchet]

As I watched the commercial, I figured she was running for state senate. I was quite wrong: she is running for the US Senate.



Ohhhh. Georgia.

Not just running, she's a sitting Senator, albeit appointed to the position.

The world needs to unite around the central idea that the Islamic Republic of Iran is the greatest threat, and when that regime changes its behavior, we have the chance to create true global stability in the region. It’s what President @realDonaldTrump asked us to do.

We welcome the UK, Germany, and France's rejection of China's unlawful maritime claims in the South China Sea at the United Nations. China must abide by international norms. We join our allies in rejecting the idea that "might makes right.
