This week in Trump started out very quiet and he spent most of the weekend quoting people who spin in his orbit. First Lou Dobbs, who used to be a serious journalist, but has given up and drank the Fox kool-aid, telling us all that no one has done more for the country than DJT. Economy booming, blacks living like never before, blah, blah, blah. Also quoting Jason Chaffetz, who hasn’t had an original thought in his life. Also spending more executive time to the duo Diamond and Silk, who constantly laud him at any cost. Just to put some perspective on the stupidity, if you speak nicely about Trump, you get rewarded with free advertising, while a major storm is on it’s way without mention. And what the hell do Diamond and Silk actually have to do with anything??? He also tripled down on his ongoing tariff bullying, telling powerhouse manufacturers Ford Motor company, and Apple that due to the cost of the tariffs that they could simply move their manufacturing back to the States. I don’t think he understands that it costs tons of money to re-tool in another country. It is something that someone who claims to be a genius in business should be able to understand. He is blinded by his own stubbornness.
He of course had to take a shot at the NFL, as again there was peaceful protest of taking a knee or fist in the air, so of course the president of the United States had to post ratings. Apparently viewership is down 13% over the last decade, all due to this. He never fully investigated what could be the true story. Just to be clear, it was really only Kaepernick that started this, and not a decade ago, so I would imagine that the decline in cable channel viewership is due mostly to people dropping cable, and moving to streaming services. But that does not support his narrative.
A little shout out to Kim Jong Un on the 70th anniversary parade, that they didn’t show off their nukes. Had to give Kim’s little willy a rub for that and tell everyone how much they like each other. Trump seems to be the only one who doesn’t see he is being played. He is so mesmerized by these autocratic and corrupt regimes.
Monday morning he once again tries to create history without fact checking anything as his brainless followers will swallow anything. First time in 100 years that GDP is higher than unemployment rate. First of all, records that are based in fact only factor back to 1948, and the GDP has been higher more than 60 quarters in the last 70 years. But why bother with facts when your mouth breathing followers will buy your lies. Whitehouse actually walked it back, saying it should have been 10 years, so sounds like a typo, but anyone with a brain knows that if it looks like a lie, smells like a lie, it’s a lie.
Many more days of putting the Woodward book down saying the Whitehouse runs like a machine and claims reports are not true. I don’t know how many machines have people bugging out constantly, and if not bugging out, they are being indicted for something. It is a machine that runs on bullshit and crime. Woodward does have tapes but prefers not to publicize them unless absolutely necessary. There would be a lot of people with egg on their face if they are brought out.
Trump started to think about the storm and actually was helpful to state and local leadership supporting their concerns that people heed the warnings that this was a gamechanger of a storm. Many tweets to show that he was all over it, so things are looking up as he is focusing on this like a laser.
September 11th, the 17th anniversary of the attack, a very solemn day for all Americans, that are still deeply affected by this could not have started worse. First thing the moron tweeted about was no evidence of collusion, but they have evidence that Hillary colluded. Nice start dickhead. Then he was off to Shanksville Pennsylvania to the flight 93 memorial, where he exited air force one and made the most inappropriate face and double fist pump to the crowd at the fence. He is just so tone deaf. He agonized over a prepared speech, that you could tell he wanted to go off on a tangent to laud his accomplishments. He showed some restraint and stayed on message. I do wonder why he didn’t go to the memorial in New York city, is it maybe because he has supporters in Pennsylvania, and protesters in New York? Makes sense to me, go where you are loved. He is just so sad!!
Then on Wednesday he shit the bed in the worst way. He randomly tweeted that the report from GWU on the deaths related to hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico of 2977 fatalities was a lie concocted by the Democrats to make him look bad. He had previously said that he had been given an A+ for the efforts his administration had shown in Puerto Rico. I’m not sure who gives the grades for disasters, but doubt there is anyone. Of course he had to attack mayor Cruz for her poor leadership also as she is a latino female, so perfect for him to pick on. This actually caused some blowback, even from some Republicans, but none of them were very pointed. Mostly just softball comments from a bunch of spineless planaria. God forbid you blast Trump, as you will be next on the list. I found it incredible that after the tweet regarding Puerto Rico, that he became less combative in his tweets, and the have focused more on the ongoing rescue efforts, and how well prepared FEMA and his government is. Again more support from shithead Lou Dobbs, supporting the claim that the 2977 fatalities are false. He must be on Trumps payroll, as he is the only one pushing that narrative.
As of Friday evening only comment from trump is that he loves the Cajun Navy, even though there have been 5 confirmed deaths from the storm. Trump must be concocting a story on how to blame this on Obama.
I wish all the people in the path of Florence in the Carolinas that they are safe and sound wherever the are, and if you chose to hunker down in your home, that the wind, rain and water does no damage. Be safe everyone!
