Is Trump too stupid to understand the difference between a fair and rigged election? Sometimes I wonder - but I realize it’s just his admiration for strong-armed tactics that makes him do this despite the terrible political optics.
DJT = The Ugly American
“Last month, Trump similarly congratulated Russian President Vladimir Putin on his reelection, reportedly despite an urgent note from advisers…”
I can’t wait until advisers slip him the urgent note reading:
“DO NOT CONFESS TO MUELLER!”
He understands it perfectly. A fair election is one Donald Trump won, a rigged election is one won by Hillary.
But seriously, I don’t think he really understands the notion of fairness. If you could have done Thing X and Thing X would have helped you win bigger and more classy, well, why didn’t you do Thing X? I’ll do Thing X ten times as hard, much harder than Obama!
Man, oh, man. I loves me some dictators!
Fairness requires conceiving of things that are overarchingly right or wrong independently of your own desires. Beyond his ken. That psyche begins and ends with malignant narcissism.
I assume Trump congratulated him on his 97% vote total, the second biggest in history (after Donald Trump’s).
As with Putin’s victory, tRump was most impressed by the literal “Lock 'Em Up” aspect of the election.
Calling my Shot: Trump will insult Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto with the nickname “El Sissi” thinking it a clever slur, and not remembering he liked the actual El-Sissi on Facebook’s “Fascist Forward” page.
Why not? After all, Trump loves rigged elections, just like his!
But, creepily, he learned to fake it (badly).
Psychopathic lizard.
The expression on 45* 's face is odd even for him.
Melania’s is that of someone listening to communications from Zortron 10 Command ship through her earpiece.
I can’t wait until he has to deal with AMLO, the 18-point favorite to win the July presidential elections.
Next on Trump’s congratulations list.
One might be a mistake, two is not accidental. He’s obviously expecting them to return the favor when he rigs our elections.
Hopefully, el pResidente won’t be wearing his used underwear on the outside.
This is a nice victory for the good guys:
