PETER NAVARRO on Trump: "this is the hardest working POTUS in history. He works 24/7 in Bedminster, Mar-a-lago, Oval Office or anywhere in between”

Yeah, right.

[TreasonousBastard]

1. Because they are just as blindingly stupid as their dear leader.

[llashram]

19. this

[greatauntoftriplets]

2. They're all liars willing to bolster the party line.

[DBoon]

26. Like Bagdad Bob

Making ridiculous statements on the eve of total collapse

[Newest Reality]

3. Big Brother...

Big Brother didn't even exist. His picture was a composite. The Party made him into a powerful, superhero leader in Orwell's, 1984. You couldn't kill him or remove him because there was no Big Brother really. Everybody outside The Party had been turned into what we call MAGAs and were required to love him. Many inside The Party did too, but the elite knew about the show.

saw that on the telescreen during my compulsory workout.

Trump is, as he is presented, playing a fictional character on a reality TV show as we all know. They can past anything on him and try to make it stick. He is losing his edge at holding onto those cardboard cutouts now, though. They may start to fall off more quickly now. Fingers crossed.

4. Sycophant

is an ugly word for an ugly thing.

[CousinIT]

5. He held a government event in his own personally-owned golf club.

ILLEGAL.

[flor-de-jasmim]

6. Navarro stopped too soon: "anywhere in between to DESTROY the U.S. as we know it."

[Traildogbob]

11. What a prick

“The lord and founders made executive orders.....so Trump could be King.”
“Their” lord is an asshole. The billions that have died because of him in human history and all those dying right now because of this shit head he sent, cast a bit of doubt on all that Jesus, God loves you bullshit.
Just to hear assholes like Trump, Navarro, PompedAsshole, Barr, Frankie Graham, Falwell Jr, is all you need to know about his Chosen ones.

[DSandra]

7. Because they believe the American people are idiots and will believe anything they say

What you get when you combine predatory instincts with a disdain for people.

[N_E_1 for Tennis]

8. They don't know what work is....

So they can utter insipid remarks like that and remain clueless.

[dlk]

9. When someone has no conscience, they can do anything

Trump isn’t the only sociopath in Washington D. C.

[Solly Mack]

10. Grifter Work Ethic

Snort

[ancianita]

12. I don't care what they say anymore.

I'm working on Democratic GOTV to be rid of these yakky pests.

I suggest that we stop caring what they say and move on to the solution stage of stopping the machinery that will forever corrupt free and fair elections -- the census, polling machinery and USPS.

This stuff is distracting.

13. Navarro and Trump's other flunkies

Have risen to the level of their incompetency and don't want to give up the perks. The dysfunction in governance is Trump+his incompetent loyalists who have one goal: the continuance of Trumpism and their lofty, unearned positions. It's a clear example of failing upwards. Outside of Trump circles, Navarro is considered a crackpot.

[Johnyawl]

14. Peter Navarro is the hardest working...

...suckup in the history of suckups.

[FoxNewsSucks]

15. 6-8 figure paychecks.

That's how they do it.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

25. Yep, seen it everywhere that I worked too.

Upper management always surrounded themselves with lazy suck-ups.

Paid allies were more important than the actual work.

Reminded me of feudalism with kings and their network of lords and vassals, with serfs doing most of the actual work.

I sometimes wondered if shareholders would approve of all the wasted expense if they directly observed it instead of focusing on reports from the managers, but most of them surely know what happens.

[NRaleighLiberal]

16. $$$

[spanone]

17. Navarro has his head so far up trumps ass.....

he's as slick as owl shit

[OMGWTF]

18. Something about someone's paycheck being dependent upon telling lies and the like.

[Ford_Prefect]

21. They make it up to suit the moment and then say it because that's their job.

They are paid to do PR for Trump so nothing that they say MUST be true. It must serve their boss's desires and that is the only maxim applied. They are not there to serve The People and so are free to do whatever Trump demands.

It's only a job to them. No Loyalty to a higher purpose is expected nor applied. The Constitution is only a metaphor to refer to when it suits them and has no legal or moral value otherwise.

[CaptainTruth]

22. Because it's a cult.

[sandensea]

23. Yeah. I bet his mommy used to say the same thing to her relatives.

And then yell: "Go upstairs and finish your homework, you lazy shit!"

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

24. Each night they wash their mouths out with bleach,

then they put on their headphones, lay down on a bed of nails, and listen to the "Barney and Friends" theme song all night to break their spirits, like the CIA does with prisoners in Guantanamo.

[Wounded Bear]

27. I blame religion for lots of societal ills...

The ability to believe paradoxes like that require religious fervor.

[onethatcares]

28. I do believe he meant

Working 24 hours a day to turn the United States into a shithole country where the wealthy get more and more and more.

[Aristus]

29. Simple: It's either say those idiotic things, or not get paid.

Since they're too lazy to try to find honest work, and probably unqualified to do anything else that pays well, it's eat Trump's shit, and spew the smelly results...
