Rachel Maddow Just Exposed How Broken Trumps Brain Really Is
Rachel Maddow used Trumps idea to have a 4th of July parade in DC when one already exists to highlight the broken weirdness of what is going on in Trumps head.
Maddow said:
How about that? He mused about this idea to reporters today. He said quote, were thinking about doing something that will perhaps become a tradition. Proposing fireworks for the Fourth of July, even in D.C. Its a bold idea for the president today presumably this will be followed by an executive order proclaiming from here on out well start a new calendar year on the first day of January. What?
.
Also, hes invented rap music and the idea of taking a vacation in the summer if youre a school kid. I mean, I kid you not, the president today proposed to reporters in all seriousness from the White House that hes thinking there should maybe be fireworks and a parade on the Fourth of July in Washington D.C. It could catch on, could become a tradition. The best news about this is that its not actually a terrible idea to have a parade and fireworks in Washington D.C. On the Fourth of July as evidenced by the fact, we always do it every year and nobody minds. People sort of like it. But what is going on in the head of the President Of The United States that he thinks this annual celebration should henceforth be attributed to him as if he dreamed it up. I mean, I try not to get caught up in this stuff and generally the stuff he says, but like the weird vagaries of the presidency are honestly really weird.

Trump is so lost in his delusions of genius and greatness that he believes that he is inventing things that already exist. This behavior was already witnessed by his habit of stating historical facts that everybody knows and then acting like it is bombshell information that he just came up with and is passing along to the rest of us for the first time.
I dont give Trump the same benefit of the doubt cluelessness that Rachel Maddow does. I suspect that Trump is trying to use the 4th of July parade as a backdoor way to get his military parade or to throw a Fourth of July propaganda party for himself on the taxpayers dime. There is always a scheme and another shoe to drop when it comes to Trumps ideas, and one suspects that his parade is another Trump attempt to make money and get more attention for himself because that is really what the Trump presidency is all about.

So with that in mind, his parade talk makes sense.

(32,714 posts)Maybe Trump is trying to get the city of Washington to throw him a parade with high school bands, majorettes, fire engines and boys scouts like every other city has. But see, this parade will be in HIS honor, and they'll all be wearing red hats and cheering for him. That would be almost as good as a military parade in his honor, right?

If not, why not? The way to counter a liar is to confront a liar. Not acquiesce and write a story later. The Trumpster needs to be called on his lying in public. In a polite but direct way. Think Nancy Pelosi.

(9,688 posts)The parade is very well-attended- it gets LOTS of publicity. Surely every DC-based reporter knows this and one of them should have set * straight right there and then.
And, yes, Nancy Pelosi is an excellent role model for how to respond.
I agree with Rachel: this is one very messed-up person.
charliea
(260 posts)Sir, how would your parade and fireworks be different than the ones done every other July 4th for over a century?
He might then blather on about what he thinks a parade would be, or why an aerial detonation of a daisy cutter would be bigly great.

(81,430 posts)Fluff it up with fireworks and a couple of marching bands and bring on the tanks! I think hes itching to show his pal Vlad the old Mines BIGGER! thing.

(25,879 posts)What pisses me off is that apparently no one in the room bothered to raise their hand and say, "Uh, excuse me Mr. President, but there are already fireworks and a parade on July 4 in the nation's capital."
Texin
(2,597 posts)I guess he must have been at one of his endless rallies or at Mar a' Lago. On what planet must this imbecile spend most of his time? I seriously have never seen another human being (if that's indeed what he is) of his age with absolutely no clue how the world functions. He is the most utterly useless waste of protoplasm ever created as a life form. A waste of air. He is as dumb as a box of orange clown hair and equally useless - except to paste onto his own dumb dome.

That's what this is about - well that and total stupidity, arrogance and dementia.

(14,988 posts)Because why not try to get a concession or two out of him, since there's gonna be a parade and fireworks anyway?
Second, the list of things Trump falsely claims credit for originating is pretty long. But Salon did an article detailing 5 of them over a year ago. https://www.salon.com/2017/10/13/5-things-trump-said-he-invented-but-didnt_partner/
They were:
1) "Fake" (in reference to the news)
2) "Priming the Pump" (in reference to economics)
3) Building a wall (on the southern border)
4) "Rocket Man" (in reference to the leader of North Korea)
5) "MAGA" (as a campaign slogan)
