Sooo…It’s terrible that she tries to get him to do the right thing?
I think it’s supposed to be Nordstrom that’s terrible but yeah, it does read like it’s Ivanka.
Tweet from the so-called “president”:
My daughter Ivanka has been treated so unfairly by @Nordstrom. She is a great person – always pushing me to do the right thing! Terrible!
For someone who is trying to be unpredictable, he is rather predictable, isn’t he?
If he wanted to act like someone who’s using his position + Twitter to manipulate stock prices…it would look just like this.
Background story, from NYC, my home town.
It goes further than that. They see him as a pompous windbag and a fraud. They KNOW where he got his money from (daddy) and they know what a great biznizman he really is (daddy bailed him out repeatedly). They know what his word is worth - nothing (he stiffs his workers, he saddles targeted companies with his personal debt and leaves everyone else holding the bag). He is the king of bankruptcies, etc etc etc. They know he is a shameless liar and cheat and thief.
So it goes far beyond simple snobbery. It is outright contempt, and deservedly so.
Most of New York hates him.
What was that he likes to say? Go after the families?
BWAH HA HA HA HA HA HA HAHAHAHAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!
And apparently the WH had DJT’s intelligence briefing on the (public) daily schedule for 10:30am today. This Tweet went out at 10:51.
It is a briefing.
Yep. This is the tweet that crosses a line for me. The rest of this stuff has been evidence of his immaturity, insecurity, and poor impulse control. This one is him using the fact that he is president to punish a company for making a business decision that harms his family’s business interests. The other tweets that I can recall were merely unseemly and childish, although some did have adverse impacts on some companies. That was the sole purpose of this one. Disgraceful!
And it’s the same stories every damned day. Boring.
While the grownups are discussing the security threats facing the United States and how to most effectively neutralize them, Donnie is sitting in his chair playing with his phone. The President of the United States, ladies and gentlemen…
Obama’s ethics czar has suggested that Nordstrom take Trump to court for violating anti-fair trade laws. And Senator Bob Casey has referred the matter to the Government Ethics Office.
Note that he uses an insecure device. He uses an insecure device while in security briefings. NOBODY would DARE hack his insecure device to act as a bug, surely!
It’s not like anybody could trick him into installing malware just by tweeting him a link that catches his attention like "GET 8" HANDS IN 8 DAYS!!".
Never mind the fact that our President has to be “pushed” to do the right thing.
I mean seriously, if Ivanka is the only thing keeping him from going full on Pol Pot, I only hope she does not find an untimely demise and that she always has the President’s ear.
What’s funny to me is that Trump is supposed to be a great businessman, but thinks that a company should continue to carry a product that is not selling well, because - why? It’s the president’s daughter?
The list of people and entities who have been unfair to Trump and his kin grows larger and larger. They must be the unluckiest people in the world; every one they meet is unfair to them.
There is an old saying something along the lines of “If everyone you meet is an asshole, maybe it isn’t THEM”.
Gonna assume that’s a typo, unless the President’s device now has self-esteem issues from all this.
