Asked why President Trump keeps hiring officials he later fires, insults and demeans, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said Friday that Trump simply strives to build a “team of rivals” in the mold of Abraham Lincoln.
Asked why President Trump keeps hiring officials he later fires, insults and demeans, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said Friday that Trump simply strives to build a “team of rivals” in the mold of Abraham Lincoln.
“Why hire rivals that are ‘dumb as a rock, overrated, way over their heads, wacko, and incompetent’?” NBC reporter Peter Alexander asked.
Speaking of 'dumb as a rock", we have a winner. She is a “team or rivals” of one
“He likes the model of having a team of rivals,” McEnany told reporters at a press briefing, comparing the style of debate in Trump’s White House to the model of Lincoln’s administration.
Lincoln liked a good old fashioned cage match, I guess.
I swear, before this is all over, the statue of Abe in the Lincoln Memorial is going to come alive and chase Donald into the Potomac, like Pushkin’s Bronze Horseman.
One thing that POC learn very quickly is that there are people for whom the vilification of a stigmatized group is vital for their self-esteem. It’s next-door to bullying for those who are not “stigmatized”.
