Trump has chosen Martin Luther King Jr weekend to insult in his tweets a civil-rights giant viciously … not once mind you, but twice! Didn’t Trump forecast he would get 80% or 90% (100%?) of the black vote when he runs for reelection? Is this part of his strategy? Black voters stayed at home in the election, and this is what they got. Maybe America really did get the president it deserved. I can only hope he goes down in 2020, and goes down hard. ---

Yeah but, in our defense, Trump’s swamp-crony squad are constantly going to be doing things that have major impacts on all our lives and the future of our country. We _should_ be watching. The writers and cast of _Saturday Night Live_, on the other hand, would have no measurable effect on Trump’s life whatever if he just stopped paying attention to them. ---

Alec Baldwin has told _The New York Times_ that he’s paid only the regular actor’s scale for each of these _SNL_ appearances, $1200. Clearly, this is a labor of love for him. ---

I’m just pointing out if the Republicans had anyone with half a sense of humor…well…let’s just say it would be pretty easy to get Alec riled up. I mean, just show up on his doorstep and photo his wife. ---

> [@raventhief](#): > > Sadly, the same could be said about his attacking a heartbroken gold star family. I think this is just another WTF moment that will have little impact on the Tangerine Nightmare’s time in office. Good God, that was such a missed opportunity too. “I’m sorry for your loss. Just as I’m sorry that these people are politicizing your tragedy. Just as I’m sorry you lost your son in the very war that Hillary Clinton voted for. Did you know we still have troops in Iraq. I promise families like yours arn’t going to lose any more sons in senseless wars when I’m President.” ---

> [@Dale\_Sams](#): > > Good God, that was such a missed opportunity too. > > “[…] Just as I’m sorry you lost your son in the very war that Hillary Clinton voted for. […]” Of course, that only works if Trump manages to conceal the fact that [he himself bought the Bush administration’s line on the Iraq invasion](http://www.factcheck.org/2016/02/donald-trump-and-the-iraq-war/). > [@](#): > > Sept. 11, 2002: Howard Stern asks Trump if he supports invading Iraq. Trump answers hesitantly. “Yeah, I guess so. You know, I wish it was, I wish the first time it was done correctly.” […] > > March 21, 2003: Neil Cavuto of Fox Business interviews Trump about the impact of the Iraq war on the stock market. […] > > Trump, March 21, 2003: “Well, I think Wall Street’s waiting to see what happens but even before the fact they’re obviously taking it a little bit for granted that it looks like a tremendous success from a military standpoint […] The main thing is to get the war over with and just make it a tremendously successful campaign and it will be very interesting to see what kind of weapons they find.” And even if he can’t conceal it he can just go on denying it, so yeah, missed opportunity. But of course, such hypotheticals ignore a core reality of Trump. He doesn’t respond to criticism with empathy and understanding: he hits out in aggrieved defensiveness. Khizr Khan had criticized Trump for his proposed Muslim-ban policy, so Trump [just had to get in some digs at him](https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/08/01/donald-trumps-abc-interview-may-be-his-bestworst-yet/?utm_term=.0aa3de32de80): > [@](#): > > […] His wife — if you look at his wife, she was standing there. She had nothing to say. She probably — maybe she wasn’t allowed to have anything to say. You tell me. But plenty of people have written that. She — she was extremely quiet. And it looked like she had nothing to say. A lot of people have said that. […] > > STEPHANOPOULOS: How would you answer that father? What sacrifice have you made for your country? > > TRUMP: I think I’ve made a lot of sacrifices. I work very, very hard. I’ve created thousands and thousands of jobs, tens of thousands of jobs— built great structures. I’ve done — I’ve had — I’ve had tremendous success. I think I’ve done a lot — > > STEPHANOPOULOS: Those are sacrifices? > > TRUMP: Oh, sure. I think they’re sacrifices. Then as the criticism continued, Trump [got more desperate](http://www.cnn.com/2016/08/01/politics/khans-donald-trump-cnn-new-day/): > [@@realDonaldTrump](#): > > Mr. Khan, who does not know me, viciously attacked me from the stage of the DNC and is now all over T.V. doing the same - Nice! > > This story is not about Mr. Khan, who is all over the place doing interviews, but rather RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORISM and the U.S. Get smart! There’s no point even speculating about “missed opportunities” for empathy and generous magnanimity when it comes to the thought processes of a guy like Trump. He doesn’t live in the same rhetorical universe with such opportunities. ---

Not a twitter, but I noticed that he canceled his visit to the African-American History Museum today. Anybody else think that he’s doing it out of revenge against Lewis? Anybody else want to chip in to send Trump [this](https://www.amazon.com/March-Trilogy-Slipcase-John-Lewis/dp/1603093958/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1484593465&sr=8-1&keywords=march+trilogy)? I know he doesn’t read books but it’s a graphic novel so maybe he can just look at the pictures. After all Book 3 won the National Book Award for Young Adult Literature so he may be able to comprehend it.
