Once Again, Trump's Tweet Proves He's an Incompetent, Conspiracy-Driven Idiot

To be honest, I used to dread checking Twitter to see the latest idiotic drivel Donald Trump had sent out. However, now that he’s becoming more and more of a joke each and every day, I’ve actually found myself looking forward to his frequent Twitter temper tantrums. While I still despise the fact that he’s in office, he’s managed to exceed my expectations in how quickly he’s proven all of those who voted against him were right for doing so.

If this keeps up (which I don’t see any reason why it won’t), we could be looking at Trump’s approval numbers in the low 30’s in just a few weeks. Approval numbers that would make him so politically toxic, we’ll start seeing more and more members of his own party wanting nothing to do with him out of fear that aligning with him could cost them their job when the 2018 midterms roll around.

It’s why I’ve said Trump is even worse than I expected — but that’s a good thing.

Case in point, a tweet he sent out Tuesday night, once again showcasing that he’s nothing more than an incompetent, conspiracy-driven idiot:

People who gave Mitch McConnell hell the other day, they are just good citizens of this country, they work normal jobs, or are retired, and don't normally go participate in protests until Trump, one would rather be fostering a new dog, and two others playing with their grand kids. So sickening to disparage the citizens of this country for speaking out!

No story too outlandish.

Maybe the residents of the red districts are finally seeing how full of hooey the lying bunch of flim flam jerks they put in office are.

Republicans have really kicked the hornets nest this time. Let's hope they feel the sting and that their constituents are angry enough that they turn all areas blue for decades to come.

what he fails to do is recognize how American and patriotic liberal activists are. he'll never be able to acknowledge that we have a valid seat at his table. but it is true that organizing is going on, and these people are not showing up at town halls entirely spontaneously. you know, the way the tea party bigots did back in the day when Obama was trying to get health care for more people. they weren't all paid bigots, some of them were true believers. but they had networks, costumes, and they found out where to go from organizers.

i'm going to a "town hall" resistance event on Sunday here in NC where the 2 senators are cowardly republicans who refuse to hold town halls because they are afraid of the optics and can't answer the questions. it's an organized event. but it's not a fake event. i am not being paid and i am a patriotic american who still actually believes in the constitution and plans to defend my rights to the end through resistance.

he really needs to be gone though. so much damage being done daily. i work with 2 people who are in jeopardy of being deported under trump, college-educated, tax-paying working people who will not be able to get a job if they lose this one and will immediately be subject to deportation. the cruelty of the administration is widespread. there is an urgency, and there are so many ways to get him out. make him share his taxes, learn about his conflicts of interest. he's clearly profiting off the presidency and isn't that illegal?! Follow the Russian connection, jeez it's in our face, it's in the news, investigate it and get the man out of here, he's going to wreck the country, possibly the world, and even hasten the demise of the planet we live on. as far as i know it's still the only one us humans have.

that by casting "Liberal Activists" as "Outside Agitators", the deplorables will begin to clamor for our removal.

that is primary, but it also is his way of distracting, to cause confusion, to keep people in tension.

He is a predator, and this his his MO, he wears people down, then takes advantage of everyone running around with their hair on fire.

That is how he wore down the country for 1 1/2 years to sneak into the White House.

So-called conservatives spent nearly 8 years pretending that they had grievances that President Obama wasn't addressing.

At the same time, they cast aspersions against liberals, thinking that we were weak. To be fair, we didn't mount much of a defense against those accusations.

Now the shoe's on the other foot.

We're pissed....and our anger is fueled by a treasonous treacherous traitor in the White House and his misguided posse of pussy grabbers. Not to mention a Republican Congress intent on undoing all the good that our fine 44th President helped to implement.

The Tea Party fashioned themselves to be patriots, which indeed they were. Fascist patriots, the kind that Comrade Putin would be proud of. Their party days are over, now that they're in office.

Time for them to take a step back and watch and see what REAL patriots look like.

is what they brought on this country with Trump, and now they are defending it tooth and nail.

It is a VERY, VERY uphill battle, beating this virulent level of stupid alone. BUT, also the now strongly entrenched manner in which they have gamed the system on so many levels.

The fire is nice, but is has to be sustained long term and has to translate to VERY BIG blood lettings come November.

like the cheering actors HE paid to line the balcony at tRump Tower when he and his nude "model" descended to announce his run? What did that cost him, $50 a piece? Did those checks clear, or were they paid in cash to hide the payments? He finds it so difficult to believe that money does not drive everyone. Thousands, if not millions of people have qualities such as ETHICS (foreign to gop) and want to do what is right for everyone.

The only plan from myself and my daughter was we looked up the info. The planning has only been informing people of town halls and rallies. There can be a lot of plans but they only work if the people are motivated to come out.

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
