He’s got it backwards. We want the country to succeed, we want _him_ to fail. Although granted, if the media loved our country a little more they might have started calling him out on all his bullshit from the get-go. I still think the media is the primary reason we have Trump as president, because they insisted on focusing on his dumb-ass tweets instead of real issues during the campaigns. ---

I still think the media is the primary reason we have Trump as president, because they insisted on focusing on his dumb-ass tweets instead of real issues during the campaigns. None of his base care about issues. Issues are those things like “I need to go to the bathroom” That is an issue to a trump supporter. All that other stuff that they don’t understand, like ekonomiks, is all in the background noise. Things like those darn libruls keep telling them about but they don’t try to grasp the meaning. People say to not insult Trump supporters. Fuck that. They have shown who and what they. ---

Along with every other word out of his mouth. Please. Well that’s not totaly true. He does show us every day what a racist asshole that only cares about himself he is. So I guess we have that.

> [@Rick\_Kitchen](#): > > Will any Republican legislator bother to point out that, no, they didn’t approve $92 billion for Puerto Rico? Forget the fact that he’s lying. Trump is incapable of telling the truth. What gets me is this: > [@The Orange Messiah](#): > > Yet another big storm heading to Puerto Rico. Will it ever end? Congress approved 92 Billion Dollars for Puerto Rico last year… What does he think? That he can buy hurricanes off? That Puerto Rico is extorting money, and he’s already paid the bribe to this United States territory and its U.S. citizens? Jeez, next he’ll be suggesting getting rid of hurricanes by blowing them up with nuclear weapons! Hahahaha… Oh, wait… ☹ ---

The Radical Left Democrats, upon hearing that the perfectly located (for the next G-7) Doral National MIAMI was under consideration for the next G-7, spread that false and nasty rumor. Not nice! Didn’t Doral also have issues with the kitchen? Or was that Mar a Lago? Maybe it’s both. People are saying. I know I wouldn’t stay there and would tell everyone about those problems at Trump properties. Sad!

> [@JohnT](#): > > 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. I moved my retirement account money out of the “common stock” fund and into the “government securities” fund just in time. The market is gonna tank there is a big recession coming, and just like the start of the Great Depression, Trump’s tariffs will only make it happen sooner and make it worse. And he’s doing it for the following reasons … [ul] [li]To play to his stupid ass xenophobic base[/li][li]To pretend he is a tough guy with the furriners (except for his butt buddy Putin)[/li][li]To do one more spiteful thing “because reasons”[/li][li]To attack the Fed Reserve board and bully them into lowering interest rates - so HIS outstanding loans are cheaper to pay off (not that he EVER pays off any debts anyway)[/li][/ul] ---

More red meat for the base: > [@Twittler-in-chief](#): > > Just watched @FoxNews heavily promoting the Democrats through their DNC Communications Director, spewing out whatever she wanted with zero pushback by anchor, @SandraSmithFox. Terrible considering that Fox couldn’t even land a debate, the Dems give them NOTHING! @CNN & @MSNBC are all in for the Open Border Socialists (or beyond). Fox hires “give Hillary the questions” @donnabrazile, Juan Williams and low ratings Shep Smith. HOPELESS & CLUELESS!

Morning news about Deutsche Bank and Individual 1’s tax returns and loans from Russian oligarchs. Of course, the normal response is a Twitter shitstorm to bury that news. Up to 10 tweets this morning. It’s a reliable strategy that works for him.
