Bwhahahaha. Michele Bachmann: I'm advising Trump on foreign policy

How much more surreal can the Trump campaign get??

The former Minnesota congresswoman attended a fundraiser in the state for Trump on Saturday, where she revealed to the press that she has his ear on foreign policy.

“He also recognizes there is a threat around the world, not just here in Minnesota, of radical Islam,” she said, according to MPR News. “I wish our President Obama also understood the threat of radical Islam and took it seriously.


“He’s a common-sense guy, not into political correctness,” Bachmann added, according to the Star Tribune.

Bachmann is already part of Trump’s Evangelical Advisory Board, providing “support” to Trump on “issues important to Evangelicals and other people of faith in America.”

Our President took out Bin Laden, something Bush verbally said he didn't care to do and the Rethugs were like okay not important.


Shut up Michelle

Because it will be a nice change to see Trump's foreign policy written and spoken in frontier gibberish.

Trump's cast of characters keeps getting more and more ridiculous.

Remember those eyes?

Take a look at her partial client list, hard-core right-wing extremists every one:

Conway is president and CEO of The Polling Company, which she founded in 1995. Her company often works with Republican candidates to appeal to female voters and the client list, according to CNN, reads like a who's who of conservative politicians and organizations:

Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, Newt Gingrich's former presidential campaign, Reps. Steve King and Michele Bachmann, Todd Akin, FreedomWorks, Americans for Prosperity, The Heritage Foundation, National Rifle Association, and Family Research Council.


And of course she recently ran a super PAC for extremist Ted Cruz, i.e., dark money, which was later rebranded the Defeat Crooked Hillary super PAC. And with that history there's no way she's not also connected to Charles Koch and his subversive alliance.

She's known Trump for a decade and now is tied together with all those above, Trump, Breitbart/Bannon's nationalists racists, and extremist right-wing billionaire Spencer and his daughter.

I don't know who's the mastermind bringing Trump's current political power together with a symbiosis of the current generation's "John Bircher" types, various religious right theocrats, extremist libertarians, the NRA, the Kochs and various other right-wing psychopathic political activists, but there's nothing perky or charming about what Kellyanne's in the middle of.
