Trump

[morepork]

He is so full of shit. If he took that his heart would explode. You know that behind the scenes he has someone sterilize every surface he comes into contact with and a comprehensive testing and tracing program is the only reason he doesn't have the pest. What a fucking gumby. Wait till morons start necking it. I would also wager that someone gouged the fuck out of Mr. Art of the Deal and made an absolute killing on stocks of this drug courtesy of the tax payer.

We know Jared and Ivanka are in charge of promoting offers of service from private firms with links to Trump in all this, they're not even trying to hide it and why would they? they'd just fire anyone who investigated them

[morepork]

I don't think I have ever seen someone work so hard to broadcast their bumbling stupidity on a daily basis.

That Trump infrastructure upgrade is going great guns on the dam front

Dude's a Failing Upwards elemental.

He is managing a perpetual leper colony with tremendous acumen . I am stuck in it.

[Sandydragon]

I don't think I have ever seen someone work so hard to broadcast their bumbling stupidity on a daily basis.

And yet polling suggests that it could be a very tight election.

How much of that is due to Covid and Biden's lack of visibility or just the fact that he is an uninspiring candidate for many?

[morepork]

Because this country is half of fuckheads raised on a diet of misinformation and bullshit on toast. There is no other logical explanation. Trump is an utter train wreck. Every facet of his character is flawed, and everything he has touched has turned to dogshit. Anything he hasn't touched is being looted behind his back. He has no idea how government, the economy, science, or common sense works. He just is not up to it. How can anyone argue other wise, for the love of fuck?

[Digby]

Some say he has dog shit on his shoes, they're probably going to get it in the neck for that comment

Because a lot of people aren't aware of the details of what's going on. And those who do take an interest are mostly getting info from a source which aligns with their beliefs. I doubt Trump could survive under neutral press coverage.

If one side continually capitalises on average people’s fears, insecurities, prejudices etc. and the other side offers nothing more than posturing and “we’ll try and be better than those guys, I guess” it really isn’t that surprising.

A lot of people feel a vote for Biden is another nail in the coffin of any hope to veer away from big money in politics. All these people are eating out of the same fucking trough.

This Trump shitshow is good for everyone at the top with any investment in sensational media coverage. It’s what keeps everything going. For a lot of people advocating for “the left”, losing isn’t necessarily worse than risking Bernie, or even Warren, mixing things up a bit.

It might be prudent to overhaul those checks and balances that are supposed to provide oversight for the executive branch of government, because this country is just about broken.

"The president veers off on tangents and getting him back on topic is difficult.....he has a short attention span and rarely, if ever, reads intelligence reports, relying instead on conservative media and his friends for information and gossip he hears from the former casino magnate Steve Wynn, retired golfer Gary Player or Christopher Ruddy, the conservative media executive."


'...the intelligence agencies have hired outside consultants to study how better to present information to him.'


First smart arse to call "fake news" gets a small pox milkshake. Enough is enough. Get him out of the way. Now.

Though when the alternative is Trump you can reasonably ask just how sodding stupid are these people? Clearly thick as shit, but someone might have a more eloquent take on just how retarded, precious and entitled these wankers actually are.

This is what the cunt thinks the press is for:



Thanks Rupert. Excellent work.

We all miss Roger Ailes, admit it.

I don’t think if I were a citizen I could bring myself to not vote against Trump, but there’s generally a ton of people that are on the fence about voting at all. Trump inspires something in people, rightly or wrongly, so I’m just saying I don’t think it’s going to be a big shock if he gets in again.

Don’t fucking say that. It makes my heart beat like a fat man on hydroxychloroqine.

President Trump on Thursday disclosed the results of his most recent coronavirus test, telling reporters he “tested positively toward negative.”

“I tested very positively in another sense,” Trump said on the South Lawn before departing for Michigan to visit a Ford plant that is assembling ventilators. “So this morning, yeah, I tested positively toward negative, right? So no, I tested perfectly this morning. Meaning, meaning I tested negative. But that’s a way of saying it, positively toward the negative."

Good job. Leading from the middle.

A head on collision between medical terminology and a man pathologically unable to admit to anything negative about himself. Neither emerged from the car crash unscathed.

Trump is the kind of leader you expect to see several generations into a dictatorship or a monarchic dynasty. Thankfully he doesn't have the power that comes with those positions.

Well his major talking points about corruption in DC, draining the swamp, Hillary being a despicable, lying piece of shit, tearing up the status quo etc. resonated with people for good reason.

People don’t care about details, they want big sweeping statements about fixing the things they hate. His MO of accusing everyone else of having all of his own deepest flaws worked well because he has no sense of shame or self awareness.

Obviously people have had a chance to see what a massive hypocrite he is since then, but I wouldn’t pin my hopes on that.

I know, it was slightly tongue-in-cheek. Although, you have to despair at the level of ignorance (or selfishness) that might lead someone to consider Trump inspirational. (Not that I'm claiming, even for a fraction of a second, that Clinton or Biden are inspirational either.)
