Aides and allies close to President Trump were not surprised by National Security Adviser John Bolton’s very public demise this week, believing most in Trump’s immediate orbit will eventually suffer some form of a fall-out with the mercurial president.
Trump is no buffoon but rather some sort of a clown-babboon hybrid
“People mistake a willingness to eat cheeseburgers and drink Coke with being a buffoon, and he’s not a buffoon.”
Fooled me. And well over 7.5 billion other people.
Weird, seeing John Bolton Broke All Of Trump’s Unspoken Rules For His Advisers almost makes me admire the evil SOB.
That is, the Bolton evil SOB, not the Trump one.
It’ll pass, like everyone else in the Oval Trailer.
“People mistake a willingness to eat cheeseburgers and drink Coke with being a buffoon, and he’s not a buffoon.”
I think we’ve got more evidence that he’s a buffoon than just his eating habits.
Trump reportedly hated his mustache and didn’t hire him initially because of it.
JFC I think nothing new I learn about Donald will surprise me because I already think he’s a total fuckin’ idiot, then he does something that, well doesn’t surprise me, but just drops him a notch below what I already thought of him.
You know, maybe he’s right about this. Maybe he’s not a buffoon. Maybe he’s an evil genius. But, he’s still evil.
I’m going for half-buffoon, half-evil genius.
I ran out of lower notches 18 months ago.
I have a really long pole, so to speak!
With the underlying case of raging NPD. There’s no getting along with Trump, there is only surviving Trump.
Gingrich, positioning himself as the Grand Old Man with gnomic utterances -
“People mistake a willingness to eat cheeseburgers and drink Coke with being a buffoon, and he’s not a buffoon.”
No, let me correct you, you faithless has-been - People see his lies, stupidity, self-aggandizement and failed businesses and judge him to be a buffoon. It as nothing to do with his dietary choices.
Now go to the kitchen and fix your ambassador wife a schooner-size glass of chablis.
With all due respect, it is actually quite easy, I think, if you follow these 5 easy steps:
I’m going to go with, demonstrative evidence suggests Trump is an easily manipulated buffoon (see his wind sock like response to Fox News reports and current waffling on literally any policy position once it hits even mild Repub opposition). And Gingrich is still hoping to cling to some form of political relevance after is rather meteoric downfall and sees sucking up to Trump as his only avenue… not like he has any qualms about sucking up to authoritarian assholes anyway, probably even angling for Bolton’s job.
His dietary habits tell us he’s a boorish nobody who thinks money buys class.
His behavior and (lack of) success as both a “businessman” and “president” stand as evidence of his buffoonery.
Sadly typical that the Post had to dig up Gingrich for a quote in their usual process of collecting eight or ten pro-and-con quotes to pad 500 word stories to 1200 words or more, and also to name-check Republicans so no one will think they’re “biased.”
Gingrich is without question the single key historic factor in turning the GOP from a (more-or-less) “normal” party in the Western democratic tradition into a totalitarian death-cult.
You don’t “outmaneuver” a trash tornado, you get the f*** out of the way.
“People mistake a willingness to eat cheeseburgers and drink Coke with being a buffoon, and he’s not a buffoon.”
And we’re supposed to take the word of a buffoon on that?
In fairness, Trump’s diet does count as evidence in support of the conclusion that Trump is a buffoon. It’s a pretty conclusive case even without the extra scoops of ice cream, of course, but I don’t think we should completely disregard the garbage he shoves into his mouth.
Trump is a cunning buffoon, one who evolved in isolation from the main troop of buffoons. He’s an idiot, and screws up almost everything, but he’s got a real genius for spotting the chinks in other people’s armor.
