He’s such a fucking asshole…a cruel stupid asshole

How everyone can’t see that is beyond my comprehension.

That’s the way to win over the female voters of MI, Dump. In what world do you think these smart women are not ripping you a new one?

Michigan has elected some kick-ass women.

That’s a trend I’d love to see go national.

On an earlier thread, I noted that my doctor joined so many other medical professionals in declaring that if everyone wore a mask, this pandemic would be history in short order. You would be forgiven for thinking that this “President” doesn’t care if it goes right on killing people. An abdication crisis is what we have here–a total abdication of leadership. Disgraceful.

This was predictable, and odds are he did it just to spite the women running the MI government as well as the press. He really is a horrible person, the opposite of a good leader, and the world will be a far better place once he’s out of office and can be fully investigated, and have those links followed. Trump is just a symptom of the rot in our nation, both from the Republican party and from the wealthy, his biggest achievement really should be helping to take both of those out so American can be a better nation for all of us.

Kickass, my ass.
Why wait until next time to not let him in? Why not this time?

Although Trump brought a mask with the presidential seal during his visit to the Ford plant on Thursday, he refused to wear it on camera because he “didn’t want to give the press the pleasure of seeing it.”

I understand Melaria’s been begging him to wear a mask.

For about fifteen years now.

So he’d rather look provably stupid than potentially “weak”.

Meh…

All this scolding does is give Don the Con another venue for distracting us from his greater failures. Plus he enjoys the attention the media gives him by asking daily if he’s going to wear a mask. ( He won’t)

Fuggetaboduit and keep our eyes on the prize.

Bye Don 2020.

“Although Trump brought a mask with the presidential seal during his visit to the Ford plant on Thursday, he refused to wear it on camera because he “didn’t want to give the press the pleasure of seeing it.””

Spite boy strikes again.

"Nessel then compared Trump to a “petulant child who refuses to follow the rules” "

Good language. Trigger the son of a bitch.

“Nessel responded that it’s “the same message” he conveyed upon entering office in 2017, which she said is “I don’t care about you.””

Good again. She places Trump as an individual directly up against each Michigan resident.

And the legal responsibility factor? Is she telegraphing that people should consider their options if getting sick at any work site he visits? That would be like provocation. And really, should she be suggesting individuals doing something like this?

And suggestion, any time any one makes comments about Trump, laugh robustly in doing so. Make sure he is likely to hear him.

They hid his phone and Scavino for the moment.

Trump is a galactic asshole, but Ford should have barred his entrance if he did not wear a mask. They lost a prime opportunity to show their employees they actually give a shit about their health.

They also got a bit of a slap in the face.

Ford has alienated a large portion of their workers and customers by allowing this MAGA rally, er, TTG rally to exist. They must have known he would not wear a mask, and would use the opportunity for a purely political speech. I am a Ford truck man, but considering options now.

I like the part where Trump claims to have worn a mask and shield “behind the scenes” but not in front of the media, then forcibly shoves a (contaminated?) face shield into a reporter’s hands, despite her obvious reluctance to accept it.

What a maroon. No concept of what folks are going through.

I don’t understand why someone who doesn’t fall under Trump’s authority, directly or indirectly, like a Ford employee today, doesn’t simply ask him in a respectful tone, “Mister President, by not wearing a mask, are you not sending the message that you are indifferent to our safety, and ultimately our lives? Not just the message that you won’t be told what to do, which I suppose everyone gets by now and your supporters love, but that you really don’t care at all about the rest of us?”

trumPP was shamed into doing this by Pelosi and Schumer, not because he cares about needless deaths. And he sure as anything didn’t compose the words.
