It’s clear to any sane person that rump ran to enrich himself and bathe in the adoration of millions. But I can’t decide which is worse: Did he hope to gain all that by winning? Or did he just fuck with the electoral process of the highest office in the land to _lose?_ ---

> [@BobLibDem](#): > > What a fool. He says he’s been “very tough” on aviation. What is he talking about? Can he point to one single thing he did to increase aviation safety? He apparently doesn’t know that the past several years have seen no commercial air crashes either. Those years were _despite_ Obama, while last year was _because of_ Trump. ---

Trump is a fucking idiot, but the aviation thing was such a non sequitur I have to wonder if it’s a deliberate test. Like, whether his supporters will cheer and applaud Trump’s great aviation deeds. Will they make up some conspiracy theory to try to rationalize it: “Obama had a plan to cause an accident a year to try to reduce co2 by making air travel unpopular… Hillary was going to implement the plan” Sent from my Mi-4c using Tapatalk ---

My guess is that his aides were running out of good news to read to him, found the aviation tidbit, and he latched onto that. Somehow, he thought the fact that he’s president made pilots want to crash planes less often. ---

Trumpistas are trying to claim that Trump is responsible for the lowest unemployment rate in years. But even Fox News just reported, without comment, that the average monthly job gains in 2017 was lower than in any of the last six years of the Obama administration. > ---

I don’t believe trump is playing 4D chess, or can even spell the word “chess”. I do believe he’s astonished at what shit he can say that his supporters will eat up. _He’s said as much at a couple of his rallies_. So he might be playing with that particular toy now, that’s all I’m suggesting as a possibility. ---

Trump is asking for billions of dollars for [some border wall.](http://www.cnn.com/2018/01/05/politics/border-security-billions-trump-wall/index.html) This must be a different border wall, because I thought Mexico was going to pay for that other one.
