‘Wake Us When Its Over’: WH Aides Weary From Trump’s Tumultuous Summer

the President continuing to deliver on his promises to the American people

I’m guilty of willfully reading only “the negative news coverage of this administration,” so I would benefit from a list of the promises made and the corresponding successes achieved.

Let’s see, keeping promises:

  1. Wall built, paid for by Mexico.
  2. Health care now so much cheaper and better than Obamacare with everyone covered.
  3. Infrastructure fixed. Now best ever.
  4. North Korea has stopped testing missiles.
  5. China has capitulated in trade war. And they are allowing democracy to bloom in Hong Kong.
  6. Climate addressed. No more hurricanes that blow up to Cat 5 (is there such a thing?) in 24 hrs.,
  7. Strong gun laws in place. No more mass shootings.
  8. Love and brotherhood is breaking out all over.

And you guys doubted he would do it…

Excellent list. It makes me think it’s time for this old commercial to become the focal point of TrumpPence2020. Could anything more succinctly describe the Toadglans philosophy?

Typical Repub response: “Not my problem.”

Yesterday, the United States imposed 15% tariffs on a variety of Chinese goods (including footwear, smart watches, flat-panel TVs). Beijing’s responded with 5% tariff on U.S. crude. OPEC oil output up first time this year due to high supply from Iran and Nigeria despite US sanctions on Iran. US energy companies cut drilling rigs for a ninth month in a row to the lowest level since January last year.

“Enjoy the low gas prices over the Labor Day weekend!” - Trump citing “my energy policies” from Poland, er, his golf course.

How perfectly appropriate! “Wake us when it’s over!”
Very Trumpian. Very Republican. Let’s trash democracy and when our lack of decency, humanity, and impulse control becomes clear to everyone, when we celebrate our deliberate cruelty towards other people, let’s whine and moan about how difficult it is to work for Fearless “Leader”. But let’s take the money while we operate in complete fear. What great things they are doing for America! They must be so overwhelmed by that ‘steady stream of successes’ :rofl:

…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.“

If glowing they mean he got a stupid photo-op of him posing with yet another dictator he sends love letters to, and having two tanks at taxpayer expense brought to a speech in which no one showed up except the paid audience in the rain, then yeah, success!

Success at being a total jerk that is.

No one forces them to work for Trump. There is no doubt in my mind that he exhausts those around him, but working for him is a choice. Those delusional saps who mimic his language wrt getting things done, deserve him. I feel nothing for anyone who is miserable, the wake me when it’s over crowd. Resign if it is that bad

And we should care, why?

Yes, please kvetch on Labor Day. We’re living in the New Golden Age of Victimhood: White privileged men, White male pundits, White billionaires, White guys who are just “flirting” at work, White gun owners, White male virgins; I’m sure I’m missing quite a few.

Now, now, Matt. Donnie has plenty of accomplishments:

  • most turnover in senior staff and cabinet positions
  • most and earliest cabinet-level resignations in scandal
  • most campaign staffers and business associates indicted
  • most IG investigations of cabinet level misconduct
  • quickest appointment of a special counsel to investigate the president
  • most lies told by the president and staff per minute/hour/day/week/month/year
  • most days spent playing golf (with special mention for being able to make money off it)
  • most allies offended and greatest reduction in international influence
  • most dictators and despots praised and asses kissed
  • most expressions of thoughts and prayers for record numbers of mass shooting victims
  • most immigrant children abused and families separated
  • the best relationship with white supremacists since Andrew Jackson
  • the biggest and wettest hurricanes (thanks to unchecked global warming)
  • the most damage to the environment of any administration since the 19th century
  • unprecedented massive increases in the national debt
  • most tweets!

This is why Trump needs to fight like hell to win in 2020, as I see it.

His staff despises him. They’re only there to be proximate to power and feel the surge of pride and self-importance that comes with that. If they think they’re burnishing their credentials, I believe they’re sorely mistaken.

The Republican leadership despises him also and has no trust in him. But while he has power, they get their judges and tax cuts.

So the relationship is purely transactional with regards to everyone in Trump’s orbit, possibly including his own family. And Trump surely realizes somewhere in the deepest most recesses of his reptilian brain, that’s what the score is. If he loses, he’ll be abandoned faster than yesterday’s tuna, potentially opening himself up to numerous criminal charges and jail time with nary a supporter, because the Republican Party will have moved on -and I kid you not -calling him a “Democrat” or “Liberal” in the process.
