Squirrel!
Trump projects more than 10 IMAX theaters…
Projection !
This is the basic argument in America right now. All the old white guys who think the 50s were great versus everybody else.
I am old enough to remember the 50s. 60s, 70s - etc. - not so great. There are those who look at newsreels of segregationists using firehoses and police violence against civil rights protesters in horror, and those who look at them with nostalgia. The nostalgia guys are running things right now.
A better headline:
“Trump Accuses Has a Total Meltdown and Accuses Gov. Andrew Cuomo Of Having A ‘Total Meltdown’”
Remember it as well. It’s as if everything was changing at the same time.
Damn, he’s gotta stop tweeting while looking in the mirror. He gets the reality confused when he does that.
No, sir, that total meltdown is yours. Entirely yours. I’m looking forward to your meltdown similar to that of the Wicked Witch of the West in ‘Wizard of Oz’. Total melt and gone.
" … America has not yet reached its maximum potential.”
And has zero possibility of getting there until we get the madman out of the WH.
Trump is terminally obtuse - but in this instance Trump knows precisely what Cuomo is saying and meaning - but Trump chooses to take it out of context, distort it and willfully ascribe an entirely different meaning. But, then again what should be expected from one so totally devoid of moral fiber.
Trump’s typically insane reaction doesn’t negate the fact that it was a remarkably stupid thing for Cuomo to say.
It’s easy for us to understand what he really meant, and the truth behind it, but it still might be a career ending move. There are just places you don’t go and a successful politician should know what those places are.
Well Trump knows meltdowns, I’ll give him that.
How high are the taxes Donald? Why don’t you show us all how much you had to pay?
That’s why they are reactionaries, not conservatives.
That’s the conventional wisdom, sure, but maybe it’s time to challenge that “conventional” thinking. The country is changing. Trump is forcing a lot of people to face some ugly truths (and some ugly lies). Women show signs of being more engaged this cycle than they have in decades. There have been vastly more women running for public office and he’s right that they constitute 51% of the population, so if they come out in force, they could overcome the “conventional” crowd who will be “aghast” at Cuomo’s uncomfortable truth.
We might have reached a turning point where the people who understand that Mayberry’s America never really existed have enough political clout to win the day in a fair electoral fight. It’s time to stop sticking our collective heads in the sand and saying we can’t change the status quo.
Good point. Tea Party reactionaries passing themselves off as conservatives.
The more I thought about it the more I realized, if you were a young white guy living in the '50’s, times were good; plenty of living wage paying manufacturing jobs, job training, owning an affordable home by your mid-twenties, HC cost costs covered for you and family, job security, strong unions, two week vacations, etc. All you needed was a HS education and if ambitious, the sky was the limit. It was a reality.
Today, not so much. Even for the young educated white guy.
I almost completely agree with you, but he could have said the same thing without giving them a hammer to hit us over the head with.
Actually, he could have said what you just said!
