Trump Not Sorry For Anti-Omar Chant | Talking Points Memo

Not even 24 hours after telling reporters that he was “not happy” with the “send her back” chant against Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) at his reelection rally earlier this week, President Donald Trump on Friday seemed to be more onboard with the widely condemned message.

Waiting to see how - and if- Ivanka and Pence react to this

I think we can all agree that there isn’t a single racist bone spur in his body.

Stephen Miller must have revised his polling data.

Someone whose job requires them to watch Hannity can probably supply the reason for this flip flop.

You guys? I’m beginning to think maybe our president has a serious personality disorder that literally determines his responses to given stimuli which makes him extremely, dangerously predictable! But that can’t be so. Surely someone would have warned us before the election if that was the case!

He’s mixing up Omar with Tlaib (‘impeach the muthafucker”).

I posted this elsewhere but it fits best here:

My takeaways:

  1. Now there are only 3 Radical Left Congresswomen. Not sure who is leaving out - my guess is Rep. Pressley whose family has been in the US the longest. More backpedaling - Weak!

  2. He claimed that Rep. Omar’s homecoming reception was staged. Since the only outpourings of support for him have been staged and/or bought and paid for, he cannot conceive of a spontaneous non-transactional human interaction. Sad!

  3. He predicted he will win Minnesota because the state hates Omar and loves him. Begging for affirmation - Pathetic!

New takeaway for docd - I don’t watch Hannity, but I am guessing it is because Trump violated his own Never Apologize rule yesterday and/or his walkback of talking right away to try to stop it was so demonstrably false once you look at the tape. I’m leaning toward the former as the latter suggests a nod to reality.

He really does listen to the last voice in the room when making up his mind - unfortunately sometimes that happens to be his Adderall conditioned inner voice which is humming the n-word 24/7

The similarity to this bit of history is chilling:

Based on the POLLING (and the little nudges from FOX) Trump decides every day what he’s going to INSIST DAMMIT IS THE TRUTH. His ‘I tried to stop it’ didn’t work because a) it was a LIE (pesky video tape) and b) he threw his ‘deplorables’ under the bus. TODAY he is trying out ‘FAKE NEWS FAKE NEWS’ which is what Laura Ingraham tried a couple of days ago. Hannity tried out the 'he didn’t mean THAT (whatever he actually SAID) but he did it with another known racist so THAT didn’t work. Different day same BS.

The personality disorder is getting worse. Our racist undemocratic and sexually sick POTUS is getting worse.

It is almost like he can be baited with a tweet! Hmmm, is it a good idea to give someone like that the nuclear codes?

He is - as usual - controlling the headlines.

As horrible as this is, it feeds his base and distracts from even worse things that are happening.

He is a con-man, and he knows exactly what he is doing.

Impeachment Now!
