Trump retweets advice for arguments over his presidency: 'Get over it'

Source: The Hill




BY ALICIA COHN - 11/24/17 06:34 AM EST

President Trump on Thanksgiving Thursday retweeted a video describing “how to reply when someone mentions the president at Thanksgiving.”

“They want to make it about the president and when they do, you just holler out, ‘He’s your president, he’s your president,” according to popular vloggers Diamond and Silk - Lynette Hardaway and Rochelle Richardson - in the video.

“He is your president. Deal with it. Or get over it. Build yourself a little bridge and climb up and get over it,” the video suggests.

“Two great people!” Trump tweeted when he shared the video.

"The election is over and you won! Get over it!"

"You are in charge now! Get over it."

and the RUMP continues to showcase his vast talents on being a twitterbug instead of being presidential.

Pathetic.

In their online store, Diamond and Silk sell branded "Women United 4 Trump" hats and t-shirts for $25 a pop; a "Basket of Deplorables" one goes for $40. They also sell rhinestone-encrusted mugs like the ones they sip from during their videos.

With the help of President Donald Trump, Lynnette “Diamond” Hardaway and Rochelle “Silk” Richardson—sisters who describe themselves as “President Trump’s most Outspoken and Loyal Supporters”—have become fixtures on Conservative pro-Trump media outlets.

someone should do the same, but instead of tRUMP-related items for sale, sell Diamond and Silk and tRUMP 'joke themed' merchandise and donate all of the proceeds to a pet charity.

Or can you not tell the difference?

Idiots.

Of course, if you really want to get into it, losing the popular vote by 3 MILLION VOTES is still worth talking about. So suck it.

Black women speaking out against Trump in a critical way, is sort-a newsy.
But definitely not LBN material.

so we women have been told birth to death for centuries. How can we learn to speak up in the moment? We must or this stupid prison we are in will continue for more decades. And your relatives should be the first to know. Start Something.

I'm becoming increasingly convinced that the United States is inexorably evil and a lifetime of effort on my part has only made it worse. The USA is now a primary force of malevolence in the world, and if we cannot change it--and we cannot--then the USA must be stopped.

If America must be destroyed, Donald Trump and the Republicans are the only ones who have an actual plan to do it, and they're succeeding, and the primary target of their attacks are the poor, ignorant racists who put the Republicans where they are today.

Ignorance is a luxury item, available only to those who already live in comfort. What happens when you leave the ignorance, but take the comfort away? We're about to find out.
