President Donald Trump was speaking to reporters on Monday when he suddenly doled out praise for a onetime target of his racist tweets: Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD).
It was an unexpected comment from Trump, who generally doubles down on his attacks against foes whenever he receives criticism for his rhetoric.
Blah, blah, blah. Talk is cheap. Feigned empathy is even cheaper.
Trumpp hasnāt pushed Congress to do anything about drug prices. All he did was give Cummings a ālikeā that will be removed at the first opportunity.
Way to fence-mend, stable genius. This is even cleverer than having your picture taken with a taco bowl, and totally not crude or obvious. Your plan is working mwahahahahaaaaa!!!
Exactly! Heās such an idiot and he thinks the same tactics that work on him will work on everyone else. He thinks he can just flatter Cummings into backing down because itās exactly what he does every time some dictator says something nice about him.
Melannie needs to leave the door open late at night so Donald can wander onto the streets of DC after midnight. He would surely be an innocent victim of a drive by shooting and we could bury him in an unmarked grave as nobody would ever claim the body?
āI had a great meeting with Elijah Cummings in this office very early in my tenure, and it was a meeting on drug prices,ā Trump said on Monday. āAnd I saw him get emotional talking about drug prices. Seriously emotional.ā
āAnd Elijah told me, āSir, I get very emotional about drug prices.āā
Donald doesnāt flatter anybody but himself. He doesnāt ask for help either. He just makes edicts which everyone else ignores. Iām sure Cummings finds all this about as funny as he does Bill Maher.
āI looked into Elijah Cummingsā eyes and I saw⦠drug prices. It was a very touching moment. Very special for his people, his city, his community. Yes, very touching.ā
OT but anyone else notice that the upholstery on the chairs in that drawing room is a fifties shade of yellow that makes it look plastic and tacky in these photo-ops?
Earlier today one of Cummingsā committees announced it was investigating actions taken by Elaine Chao to benefit her family at the Department of Transportation.
