While the White House publicly touts President Trump’s summer as a steady stream of successes, in private aides are telling a different story, according to the Washington Post.
Join the club you poor suckers!
Would love to know who the leakers are. Wonder if interrogates the staff regularly to try to find the leaker or maybe at this point he’s too far gone to care.
“Exhaustion, fatigue, wake us when it’s over,” a Republican operative who has regular contact with the White House told the Post. “They’re just tired.”
I’m getting the distinct feeling that Trump staffers -the people who know him best -are going to vote against him in 2020.
And no sympathy from me. If it’s that bad (and it’s probably worse), they can always quit.
“I don’t know how anyone could see this summer as anything but successful with the President continuing to deliver on his promises to the American people despite the negative news coverage of this administration,” White House spokesman Judd Deere told the Post. “President Trump has accomplished more at this point in his first term than any president in history and his policies are building a safer, stronger and more secure America.”
These people are pathetic. Their boss doesn’t let them simply say things are going really good, which they could do with a straight face. They have to say it was the most amazing incredible successful summer in the history of summers. I mean, I feel a little sorry for them, until I remember they willingly continue to work for this lunatic, so screw them.
When reached by the Post, the White House offered a glowing review of the President’s summer victories, ranging from his meeting with North Korean regime leader Kim Jong Un to his Independence Day parade.
So…the highlights of Trump’s summer were when Kim ate his lunch at the meeting and when it literally rained on his parade? Even the Baltimore Orioles are having a better summer than that.
About 26 years ago, for a personal reason I happened to visit the Ben and Jerry’s factory in Vermont. So when I got home, I had a car full of peace, love and great ice cream propaganda – and two weeks worth of newspapers to read. In one of 'em, I found an article about a guy who had resigned in protest from a great job at the State Department over the failure to do anything about genocide in the Balkans. In the article, he was asked how his suddenly altered career prospects (he’d been a rising star at State) and loss of income affected him. “Well, we’re not buying Ben and Jerry’s Chocolate Chip Cookie dough anymore,” he said, but things were okay.
To be clear, I didn’t want us to go to war in the Balkans. (I have relatives in uniform.) But I thought that was righteous, so I circled that quote and wrote a letter (if you can imagine anything so quaint, I even snail mailed it) to the “General DoGoodnik Department” at B&J, expressing my opinion that more government folks ought to resign in protest – so perhaps B&J could institute a formal policy of sorts: resign in protest (regardless of the reason), and get free ice cream.
They actually sent the guy what they called an “ICBM” – ice cream by mail – a whole case of his favorite.
I modestly suggest the merry ice cream makers of Waterbury, Vermont invent a whole new flavor for this administration.
