https://www.politicalflare.com/2020/07/trump-is-pathetically-cold-calling-friends-at-night-to-whine-about-how-hard-his-life-is/?utm_source=right-rail-latestHaving just reported on the new Joe Biden ad, the one highlighting Joes sacrifices to his boys after losing his wife and daughter in a car accident, this story is particularly disgusting. Trump believes that COVID, Congress, Black Lives Matter, all of it, is about him, and so unfair to him. Yes, weve known this before, but perhaps we dont know the depth of his cynicism, lack of empathy, and self-centeredness. Hes cold calling people to whine.
The president rants about the deadly coronavirus destroying the greatest economy, one he claims to have personally built.
Stop right there! No one, anywhere, at any point in history, personally built an economy! The very definition of economy encompasses many people working together! Try even having an economy on a deserted island. Moreover, unlike Hussein (the MAGA-heads name for President Obama), Trump didnt come into office after an economic collapse in the midst of the Great Recession. Obama did that, Trump did not. Trump inherited a fantastic economy.
He laments the unfair fake news media, which he vents never gives him any credit. And he bemoans the sick, twisted police officers in Minneapolis, whose killing of an unarmed black man in their custody provoked the nationwide racial justice protests that have confounded the president.

(37,156 posts)No, they don't actually listen to him, but they know to make vague noises that can be interpreted as assent at regular intervals to just keep him going so that he doesn't notice they're not listening, just going about their own business, focused on something entirely different.

(33,643 posts)Because he always SUCKS, 100% of the time.
Okay, signing prison reform was the one decent act.
And I suppose trying to negotiate a peace treaty with the Taliban was okay. Not HIMSELF of course (he's too lazy and way too shitty a negotiator), but his administration did try.
Apart from that? His tenure has been non-stop unadulterated SHIT, most of it outright evil.

(14,852 posts)I shouldn't chuckle too much because my head is pretty big too. I was so surprised when measured for my high school graduation cap years ago, and my head was even far bigger around than the 6'8" tall classmate who was getting measured too.

(6,265 posts)the rule of law with his law in a dictatorship, in a regime that we can only impotently say is wrong. And he laughs at the Democrats and slaps us, voters, in the face and screams shut-up. He is a king, not a POTUS. We lost that when Putin installed king trump and his family of grifters.

(11 posts)Nobody can win media, even if it might be biased or occasionally fake.
By label media as fake news, he made himself the common enemy of msm. Nothing can be more stupid than that.
Yet this moron has been constantly bragging stable genius, and shockingly, so many Americans bought it, What a shame.
Yes, Trump is a moron, a stable unwavering moron, that's the thing he is.
