I guess [he does sometimes](http://www.trumptwitterarchive.com/archive/nasty/ttff)

Most recently [Juan Williams](https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/1163167660764532736).

A \*white \*man? No. He has a separate glossary of terms for them-- loser, nut job, sleepy Joe, crazy, joke, lyin’. See this [list](https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/01/28/upshot/donald-trump-twitter-insults.html)(from May 2019) for a compendium.

And millions of people still take this man seriously…? Unbelievable. :smack:

Fuck’s sake. Can anyone even imagine for a second the shitstorm that would have ensued if any other president had “ordered” all American companies to do anything?

I know ironic detachment is cool and all, but the man’s clearly got either the beginnings of dementia or such an overwhelming array of personality disorders as to add up to the same thing. He would have been removed from any position of authority he held in any other job by now.

Let me guess, he posted that at 11:00 a.m. eastern time?

I didn’t check his Twitter account, I checked when the DJIA started falling.

Yup! DJIA down around 500pts since the tweets. People are realizing he’s not going anywhere and nobody trusts him.

Oh, and China upped the stakes in the trade war again. These tweets were in response to that.

Sure sounds like the president is ordering a government takeover of private industry. I think there’s a word for that that rhymes with “schmocialism”, though that word has apparently lost all meaning.

If you\* have ever said any complaints about a “command economy”, then you have to either admit that you have always been lying, or you need to completely oppose Trump. (Or option 3, continue being a lying hypocrite, I suppose that will actually be the most common choice.)  
\*not “you”, you.

That actually is pretty funny. Unfortunately, the follow up line is “No seriously, the market dropped 700 points because I keep throwing monkey wrenches into global markets.”

Didn’t a court rule that the clown’s tweets are considered official communication? So, he’s now back to thinking he’s the Pharoah of America. He thinks that “So shall it be written, so shall it be done” is all that it takes, à la the Pharoah in Cecil B. DeMille’s _The Ten Commandments_.

Yep. anyone who supports Trump is someone who has effectively disavowed any semblance of respect for our constitution, not to mention they are pissing on the teachings of Christianity they say they uphold.

That’s why I coined — though I’d be astonished if I were the first/only to think of it — Trumpankhamen.

All that stuff about loving your neighbor and giving to the poor is a pile of bushwa added by liberals to corrupt the real teachings of Jesus. But not to worry, Andrew Schlafly — son of Phyllis, blessings be upon her — is on the case, and the [Conservative Bible Project](https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Conservapedia:The_Conservative_Bible_Project) will purge all such abominations and restore the Bible to its pristine form. Any day now. And I’m sure he’d be eternally (heh) grateful for any and all financial assistance.
