ABC: You're three years into your term. What did you do when you became president to restock those cupboards that you say are bare?
TRUMP: "Well, I'll be honest, uh, I have a lot of things going on."
Yup...like building hotels in Indonesia, crying to the UK & WPB for tax breaks, & having FEMA intercept PPE deliveries from Governors.
Trump is accustomed to FOX softball questions and even pulled notes/charts out of his breast pocket so he could respond to questions.
It's a good day for Biden when Trump speaks.
Major Trump & RNC donor Louis DeJoy is becoming postmaster general of the United States, putting a top ally of Trump in charge of an agency he has long criticized. DeJoy is currently lead fundraiser for the RNC convention.
DeJoy is going to work out as well as his fellow RNC finance leadership teammate Gordon Sondland did as ambassador.
Just what we need...another apprentice!
President Trump is once more pushing to have his border wall painted black, a design change that is projected to add at least $500 million in costs, according to government contracting estimates.
This big real estate and builder shouldn't make such a hugeeee basic change in the middle of the project.
No wonder he's failed in so many businesses but this time he's using taxpayer money.
I look inside myself and see my heart is black,
I see my red door, I must have it painted black.
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts.
It's not easy facing up, when your whole world is black."
Props to the Stones
Trump's reelection campaign has ordered red "Trump branded" face masks per the Wall Street Journal. He won't wear one but he sure as hell will sell you one!
Coming soon to a morgue near you "Trump Body Bags."
All the Trumpsters must be so proud of this fucktard making money off this pandemic.
Got to check the Lincoln Project.
These Lincoln Project advisors came from years of serving Republican Party, they more likely than many Democrats in knowing how to get into Mr. Trump's skin. And this will go on to November.
SCOTUS hears arguments on Trump's financial records on Tuesday.
I believe the Constitution is concerned with protecting the presidency not the person who happens to be president.
I've never seen someone with nothing to hide work so hard to hide something.
There's one big problem. SCOTUS is as broken as everything else in Washington.
The Lincoln Project, including George Conway, paid just $5,000 to air an anti-Trump ad only on Fox and only in the DC market to needle the president. It did -- and brought in $2 million in donations.
These guys are brutal.
This is a view of Trump by British writer Nate Wright. I've never read anything that so clearly defines Trump.
Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?” Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England wrote the following response:
A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honor and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.
Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever. I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humor is almost inhuman. But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty.
Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers. And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness.
There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface. Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege.
And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a sniveling sidekick instead. There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless – and he kicks them when they are down.
So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think ‘Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that:
• Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are.
• You don’t need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man.
This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss. After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump.
And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish: ‘My God… what… have… I… created?' If being a twat was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set.
WOW!
Trump tells allies his wearing a mask would 'send the wrong message' & make him look ridiculous.
The MASK would make him look ridiculous? Not the comb over? Not the gait? Not the tiny hands? Not his inability to read? Not his ill-fitting suits? Not his lies? Or his endless bloviating? Not his incestuous yearnings? Just the mask then. The mask will make him look ridiculous.
