Trumpf's Tuesday Tantrum

[Pom]

So MSNBC clip showed 45 and entourage including disaster Barbie, arriving in PR, self-congratulating and then mentioning every person in the room as doing great in PR except San Juan's mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz.  He is a disgusting, petty fucker.

I want her to know that his snub just makes the rest of the world love and respect her more.

[sparrowsong]

There is no situation he can't make worse. Such an idiot.

[mbcdefg]

 



OK. That's enough. Somebody get this motherfucker out of here.

LOL @ Disaster Barbie!

I wish I could take credit for this originally, but I saw it about the time Cheeto made one of his "humanitarian" (this makes me gag the way he uses these disasters as a photo op for his kool-aid chugging base) visits after Harvey.

[sparrowsong]

Can someone just drag him back on to AF1 now. Maybe hold a hand over his mouth on the way.

I mean, all politicians do the feel-good humanitarian photo-op (I know some of them actually do care, but the photo op never hurts, even with the good guys), but Trump is just spectacularly bad at pretending he gives a shit about anyone but himself. We all know it, so I don't know why he even bothers. 

I'm sure he'll be full of questions/statements about his own hotel once he's in Vegas tomorrow.

As he headed out to visit the island earlier, Trump praised the federal response, telling reporters at the White House that “it’s now acknowledged what a great job we’ve done.” He added that at “a local level, they have to give us more help.”

He's such an ass. The earth should just swallow him whole right in the midst of his self praise.

Fuck no. Let them show the truth and go viral.

Oh, okay. But it's nice to know some placid faces are raging inside. I hate him.

[pixy0stix]

Hypothetically I'll send vibes to that person that they don't start throwing things at the dipshit. I'm sure he's not as agile as GWB, something would be bound to hit him.

[anlo]

I was thinking the other day, this is the same doofus who once spent all that time tweeting about Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson. I hope Yulin Cruz doesn't give his words too much weight.



ETA On second thought, I want to clarify. I hope she knows that so many people see him for what he is. Unfortunately his words do carry weight and I don't have words to condemn strongly enough the fact that he is using his words to attack her.

[1confused1]

He was talking to a resident while looking at the damaged house and said "so the concrete held up, but the wood didn't?"

Uhhhhh.

[downtoearth]

Um, I'm pretty sure the world "deplorable" was destined for 45.

Followed by, "Take a note, Disaster Barbie.  My see-through, taller-than-a-ladder, no-drug-throwing, see-through, solar-powered wall needs concrete and no wood - just in case another hurricane happens in the future."

Uhhhhh.

FIFY

I will pray that 45 is overcome by explosive diarrhea while this person you know sits there placidly, patiently explaining there isn't a spare square of toilet paper to be had.

I would wager any amount of money that this is part of the reason why he's only going to be on the island for five hours ... because he's too uncomfortable going to the bathroom anywhere except his own properties. Hence why he doesn't like The White House.

I'm not even being facetious here. The germaphobe/narcissism/typical old man behavior probably makes him physically unable to go in strange places.

The "Disaster Barbie" stuff reminds me of what I've read about the Queen Mother (mother of Queen Elizabeth II), when she was Queen Consort during World War II. She and King George VI would visit places in London that had been hit during the Blitz, and she'd show up wearing designer suits and heels, hats, and fine jewelry. And always in bright colors to look cheerful.

And people would criticize her for it, but she'd smooth it over by saying (paraphrasing), "The people wear their best clothes when they come out to see me, so I owe them the same courtesy." And then most people thought she was wonderful and a beacon of hope during trying times.

So, basically the same situation as Melania Trump, but it's amazing what a difference some tact, diplomacy, and good PR can make.

Mueller is hiring another top tier lawyer- to make sure there are no pre-emptive pardons
argues before SCOTUS 100 times
www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-10-03/mueller-tasks-adviser-with-getting-ahead-of-pre-emptive-pardons

Dreeben has begun working on legal issues as a counselor to Mueller but is also retaining some of his solicitor general work for the sake of continuity, according to Peter Carr, a spokesman for the special counsel’s office. Carr declined to elaborate on Dreeben’s work with Mueller or make Dreeben available for comment.

Pre-emptive pardons are a distinct possibility now that current and former Trump advisers are under Mueller’s scrutiny. Trump himself has tweeted that everyone agrees the U.S. president has “complete power to pardon." Some of those kinds of executive moves have been well studied, including Gerald Ford’s swift pardon of Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton’s exoneration of fugitive financier Marc Rich. But the legal territory is largely uncharted over pardons of a president’s own campaign workers, family members or even himself -- and how prosecutors’ work would then be affected.

more gems from Dumpster's visit to PR

Trump incorrectly claimed that the island’s roads have been cleared.

“Now the roads are cleared, communication is starting to come back, we need their truck drivers,” he said. “Their drivers have to start driving trucks. We have to do that, so at a local level they have to give us more help.”

[seeyalater52]

What an asshole.

[bimbi284]

I can't think of anything coherent to say.

All I have is expletives.

I could not hate him more. Could not. I know I'll find a way, but this right here has maxed me out.

He almost leaves me speechless. And yet people will clamor about what a great job he's doing.
