I always enjoy comparing Trump’s foaming-mouthed invective against any of his own former hand-picked “best people” with how he described them a short few years ago when he hand-picked them. Here’s what Trump had to say about “Bill ‘No Guts or Talent’ Barr” back in December 2018:
He’s just a terrible judge of character.
But so are his supporters.
I think you mean he’s a judge of terrible characters.
Yeah, he’s pretty consistent in choosing terrible people. He’d make a great Human Resources guy-just pick the opposite candidate from Trump and you’d be all set!
Or, he brings relatively decent people down to his level. Either that, or if they refuse to sink to his level they are excoriated, and their political careers are more or less ruined.
Pretty much everybody, not just in politics but everybody who has ever worked with or for trump, has to make a decision at some point- sell their soul and go along with the terrible, awful things he says and does, or resist and be thrown under the bus. Or, oftentimes they go along with him and still get thrown under the bus.
They all think they’re the Final Girl of the Trump slasher film. “ The bus will never hit me!”
Or the abused partner. “I can change him.”
Or the master manipulator; I can control him!
I believe that’s what a lot of Pubs were wishing or hoping right after he got elected.
Yeah, they thought they could draw a line in the sand, but Trump went over the line so often (and as I said early in his presidency, not just a little bit, but like Bob freaking Beamon at the Mexico City Olympics) that they just quit even trying.
Oh no, the grifters are feeding on each other! Such carnage! It is to weep. But at least the Padawans of Darth Trump have learned well.
I’m kinda surprised Trump never launched his own bus line.
With jacked up wheels, to make more room?
Making it higher doesn’t really let you bus more people. What you need is wider, with more tires across the width.
The idea is how many will fit under it, not in it.
Yes, but the more tires across the whole width lets you squish more people under it.
Maybe Trump needs a steamroller instead, metaphors be damned.
It’s a pity we don’t have steam rollers anymore. I’d like to see Trump shovelling coal into it. (Now we have ‘road rollers’/‘roller-compactors’.)
There are still steamrollers, but they’re a different kind. They’re used for the smoking of the divil weed.
Was some poor sap thrown under an actual bus once upon a time?
