Because golfing through a missile alert, calling the southern half of the globe a shithole, saying the Democrats don’t really want to reinstate DACA, fending off stories about payoffs to porn stars, and getting down to the “Did I say a ‘d’?” level in arguing over whether or not you talk like delusional loon are all things that’ll really burnish his rep when everyone sits down to write those first-year assessments.
Another case of good actions, bad motivation: getting in a tiff with Rupert Murdoch, forcing the news and editorial sides of the WSJ to fight it out.
A mistake like that from WSJ will last Shitler about a year and a half as an example of fake news, while he’s golfing and mangling and debasing and destroying. And Slanders is all pumped up too, I’m sure…
ps walked by T Tower yesterday… This was up and ready for selfies.
Esme, i appreciate the independent journalism we all enjoy here at TPM, but really…I knew all of this stuff about the Dotard before i even woke up this morning. His attacks on Dems and all media not produced by Fox is old news. Today is nothing different from yesterday, or the day before, or the day before. This story can be easily recycled tomorrow, and the day after, and the day after. Perhaps the Dotard really is getting this slow in his ability to do anything, and so the “news” is reduced down to only his tweets. His tweets are the official record, after all, but still, i was expecting (hoping) for something i didn’t already know this morning. Apologies for the gripe. I’m sure this is as frustrating for you as it is for all of us. Hang in there.
I have never watched Fox and Friends.
Is this an early morning cartoon show that only Trump and his friends can understand?
Is Wile E. Coyote the star of the show and the most intelligent?
Someone posted on Twitter that the only Google search results you got for “Trump” and “shithole” before that meeting were reviews for his hotels.
His complaint about the WSJ story doesn’t even make sense? Why would saying that he could be friends with Kim be any better?
Fortunately—lordy by praised—they DO have tapes, and released them.
"take desperately needed money away from our Military,”
Notice military is capitalized… cosmic.
Something about the word “desperately”…
Why does this bring to mind our struggling billionaires?
Trump also claimed that the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program is “probably dead because the Democrats don’t really want it.”
“They just want to talk and take desperately needed money away from our Military,” he tweeted.
God, what an asshole this man is. Yeah, he “loves the dreamers” all right.
Doocy? Kilmeade? Sexual harassment of Gretchen Carlson? This is where Trump is getting his playbook? There’s got to be a way to get around all these NDAs.
Apologies? …the better approach may have been to check that critical spirit, at least once in your life.
Donnie also claimed the armed forces go on vacation during a government shutdown. (They don’t.)
So a typical morning, then?
It is a shame Joseph Heller is gone. He would have the lock on writing the book.
Hah, good one, and true. I had to meet someone over at his shithole in Columbus Circle, and there was a totally dead vibe to the place.
It’s also interesting that I don’t see hardly any MAGA action in front of Trump Tower anymore - families in MAGA hats shooting selfies. It’s mostly the opposite- 3 guys with pics of dogshit, with googly eyes and a wig on the pile. Also, I’ve stopped at some of the stores around there and they all have said that business is coming back up. And the cops all look bored out of their skulls. Hope he stays in MAGA Lago. He’s poison here, and he knows it.
So, he says the WSJ misquoted him by misquoting their story. Brilliant strategery. Kelly, please take away his phone; on second thought, let him demonstrate his ignorance, bigotry and stupidity to the world.
He’s getting repetetive.
Trump lies.
Donald and the Republican Party want to turn everyone into slaves of big government. They want to take our hard-earned dollars and give them to career politicians, who will give them to overpaid CEOs, who will “donate” them back to the Republican Party.
It’s the foundational Republican con.
Things he hasn’t tweeted about or mentioned:
The ongoing crisis in Puerto Rico where it was reported that there is at least one suicide a day, and ongoing storm-related deaths due to lack of clean water and electricity.
The fatalities from the mud slides in California.
The entire Island of Hawaii being terrorized by a false (but due to Trump’s escalation with NKor - not implausible) in coming missile alert - with the message “this is not a test” - that wasn’t canceled for nearly an hour.
The president has no empathy for american citizens. He only cares about a single citizen. Himself. Meanwhile he continues to enact the cruelest hoax in American history by Making America Grotesquely Alienated.
