Cont: The Trump Presidency: Part 25

[Craig4]

Fox is clearly looking for a way to abandon the USS Trump.
They seem to have gotten the marching orders to draw the line at White Supremacy.

You don't really think that Paul Ryan left the House to spend more time with his family do you? He left to take a job on the board at Fox News so he could wait for Trump in the tall grass.

Trump requires food aid boxes to come with a letter from him

The Agriculture Department last week began mandating that millions of boxes of surplus food for needy families include a letter from President Donald Trump claiming credit for the program.

The USDA’s $4 billion Farmers to Families Food Box Program has distributed more than 100 million boxes to those in need since May, with the aim of redirecting meat, dairy and produce that might normally go to restaurants and other food-service businesses. But organizations handing out the aid complain the program is now being used to bolster Trump’s image a month before a high-stakes election — and some even have refused to distribute them.

“In my 30 years of doing this work, I've never seen something this egregious,” said Lisa Hamler-Fugitt, executive director of the Ohio Association of Food Banks. "These are federally purchased boxes.”

The letter comes in both English and Spanish on White House letterhead and features Trump’s bold signature: “As President, safeguarding the health and well-being of our citizens is one of my highest priorities,” it reads. “As part of our response to coronavirus, I prioritized sending nutritious food from our farmers to families in need throughout America.”

Something in me tells me that is a lie...

The lies are more outrageous than ever. Something tells me Trump has heard he didn't do well in the debate. He already knows he's losing in the polls and his drifting into his fantasy world for comfort is getting worse.

Now, is he just campaigning, or is this another example of his narcissism?

 

[Lurch]

At the Duluth rally Trump said "Biden will turn Minnesota into a refugee camp"
In a state with one of the largest Somali populations in the country,
Trump goaded the crowd in to booing refugees and "lock her up!" chants directed at Ilhan Omar.

Also "I'm not doing well in the suburbs. Are you people crazy"
He claimed that Biden will destroy the suburbs by "abolishing single-family zoning"

Back to his Nobel nomination
"They covered one story, it was about rain, these people are sick"

"Now I understand he's canceling the debates"
Trump is just totally making stuff up. Biden has not canceled either of the two remaining debates.

"What are they gonna do when in 8, 12, maybe 16 years I say, 'let's hang it up'? 16 more years."

On to the wall.
"Mexico is paying for it. You do know that, right? They keep saying it is going to be a border charge at the border."

"A man came up to me. A tough man. A man who, a worker, a construction worker. Real worker, and he looked at me, this is two years ago, he said, 'Sir, you have given us back our life.' And he was crying."

"But if we don't win, I'm never calling you great again" Closing words to voters in Duluth.

Re. that last. He's converging toward his own Hitlerian rantings of revenge on his own People as the end nears.

Is there a difference?

I believe both are true. Cut from the same putrid orange cloth.

The world has indeed turned upside down! McEnany admitted to and apologized for an error! She admitted to incorrectly stating that Barrett had received a Rhodes scholarship whereas Barrett had actually simply attended Rhodes College.

Just a mistake but I don’t recall any other wrong statement that McEnany ever backed down from. Maybe it’s because she and not Donald made the original error. I can only imagine the terror in which Trump holds his staff!

I agree. What really means anything to Trump is how it supports his ego. The DEMs could exploit this, but I fear they are not going to do it. Either they are too sleepy, or it is below their honor. In either case, it's a shame.

As we get closer to the election, I suspect his lies will get even bigger, until we get to the biggest one of all, bar none. Come November 2, the last thing we'll hear will be something like "...And I'll see to it that every single person in the United States gets a million dollars! It's true! Vote for me, your favorite President, Donald Trump!

I'd just automatically assume a box of food with Trump's name on it means you have to pay for it, and it'll be overpriced. Or that the food was poisoned. Or both.

And then it turns out to be coupons for a "million dollar hug" from a Trump. And it'd be Eric. Ugh. I'm not saying he's definitely a weasel vampire, but I'm not not saying it, either.

I was hearing about this today and saw that the Rhodes Scholar thing was mentioned in FoxNews on Sept 25.

When did she say it?

I am trying to sort out, did she get it from Fox or did they get it from her?

Btw, the reporter that drilled her today on "what river?" was from Fox News Radio. It's clear to everyone that Trump is a blowhole

It would be off-brand. From the other side of the table, it's merely Trump "telling it like it is" or "just being honest" and a demonstration of strength, the same with talking over his opposition. The underlying theme of Trump's support is a vicarious power trip by proxy for the naively cynical, where virtually nothing matters beyond the expansion and exercise of power to further the appearance and ends of the "powerful" or "righteous." That crowd won't complain until it affects them, and even then they'll do their best to find something else to blame rather than risk being separated from their herd, consciously or not.

It was never put better than this.
