After a calm in the tweet storm, Trump has thrown strands of spaghetti at the wall over the last couple of days. After some of the press, and the politicians involved, announced that an accommodation over DACA was in the works, the conservative political commentators went wild with Ann Coulter even saying that she supports impeachment now. So Trump pouted and lied even though he later took back his lie about his lie. I know, it gets confusing. Last week he called Harvey and Irma the biggest storms ever in language that called into question his sanity since he seemed to think that the storms were some sort of homage to him. Then, because many in his base thought that meant that he was accepting the fact of global warming, he took it all back and said storms in the '30's and '40's and even the teens were much bigger.
Today, a IED on the London tube brought out Trump's inner xenophobe. Now he tweets that his travel ban should be bigger and more onerous. I don't know if that means no Brits can come to the US but I am guessing the mayor of London won't be welcome.
At some point it would seem that reasonable people of all political persuasions would want to get rid of him, but the right and far right are sticking with the horse they rode in on. Nice job, Trumpettes.
Hillary Clinton still can't just shut up. It's bad enough that the press are putting out excerpts of her execrable book, but she is on TV shows as well, demonstrating anew why she is so hard to sympathize with. Did anyone ever like a sore loser?
Some days I get so tired of seeing Trump on tv all the time. I'm tired of seeing Hillary, Sanders and Biden too. We need young intelligent caring new blood in the congress. not these old farts. I know that doesn't sound nice, but it's the truth. By the way, I'm 69. The right is sticking with the Trump because they need his signature for anything they might pass. I need to sew more to ignore this circus. (hee hee). Thanks for this post! mary in Az
ReplyDeleteAt the end of the primary campaign, I asked my husband why any network could still follow Trump. Everyone knew that he was a vindictive, narcissiistic moron, but the networks still followed his campaign. I told my husband that the networks should just stop showing the man--no matter what he did- because otherwise he would stand out and win.
ReplyDeleteThe founding fathers knew the power of the press, which is why it is enshrined in the First Amendment. But in the 21st century we are hoist on our own petard.
