WH Officials Think Trump Derision Of People Of Color Is A ‘Bad Move’

A lot of people believed the same thing when audio recordings of Trump confessing to the commission of sexual assaults were broadcast to the nation. It turns out the revelations were a veritable feather in his cap.

I think Gary Cohn, who was STANDING RIGHT BEHIND TRUMP when he made his ‘good people on both sides’ statement, should never be allowed to speak in public again.

He got his useless tax cut (well not useless to the people/businesses who ended up with huge tax cuts) and then bolted.

All of them are covered in his effluvium.

And it’s not that any of these people didn’t know it was illegal. Their violation of the laws was deliberate.

 

You said it better than I would have.

At this point, who cares what unnamed White House officials (KellyAnne Conway) say about Trump’s latest racism? They stay there. They’re complicit. Leaking to reporters won’t save them.

If only we had some people of color working here who could explain to Donnie the thing about Negros and slurring where they live

Yeah, but it’s different. HRC had a private server – Jarvanka is using one that a gazillion other people use.

So that’s way better, dontcha know?

I know it’s hard to live with this insanity every day. But JFC if he dribbles food on his shirt and walks around that way there’s no need to start stroking one’s chin, sagely wondering if food-dribbling is a deliberate strategy. He’s a damaged person with all the disinhibition that goes with it.

I remember the heady days when “senior advisors think flagrant racism is a bad idea” wouldn’t seem like a newsworthy story.

Quaint, irrelevant statements on optics reflects how deeply down a hole the country has been taken.

Sadly, over the course of the past 2 1/2 years we have turned a lot of corners, and simply find ourselves in a maze with far too many corners to turn.

But agree…even if this isn’t THE corner, it seems like it is bringing us closer to daylight and the end.

As a close friend observed (when deep in our cups one evening) …
“Well… don’cha think or don’cha”? It has become over the decades a sort of a greeting between us.

It’s not as if they didn’t know he was an idiot racist snake when they signed on.

The probe is believed to specifically target Trump’s daughter Ivanka Trump and son-in-law Jared Kushner, both senior adviser who have admitted to using personal accounts for official business.

Wait, there are still “officials” at the White House? I thought only Orange Foolius and the guy who grills the cheeseburgers were left.

“While there have been recent reports that the ramped up rhetoric is a new campaign strategy, these officials dismissed that notion, according to the Times,”

What is incredible to me is that anyone can still believe that this impulsive, ranting nut is capable of executing some long-term strategy. Please. It’s exactly what it looks like. (EDTA: I see that Matt made pretty much this same point above.)

I know I shouldn’t get my hopes up with stuff like this, but I confess to feeling a little thrill when I read this guy’s twitter feed about Trump’s dementia. https://twitter.com/tomjchicago?lang=en
