It would be a poetic bookend. Trump told Christian Broadcasting in 2016: “The last time I cried was when I was a baby.“

How long til FPT\* tweets the nuclear codes? Oh yeah, right after someone (_anyone_) tells him, “You can’t do that!” :smack:

AFTERTHOUGHT… Okay, work with me on this… what if we start a public campaign to tell him, \*\*“You can’t resign! No President has ever resigned! \*\*(He won’t know the difference.) \*\*It can’t be done! It’s impossible! You’re not allowed to resign! There are rules and laws against it!” \*\*

Whenever anyone tells him he can’t do a thing, he immediately DOES it, to prove that he can, amirite?

ANNNNNNDDD…

This mission didn’t succeed because of Trump, it succeeded IN SPITE OF TRUMP.

He caused chaos with his sudden decision to sell out our Kurd allies. He pulled troops back to go steal oil for him. He leaked the plans to Putin before our own Congress was told. Etc etc etc etc.

Which he masterfully balanced with a lifetime of steady whining.

His steady whining is the _best_. He whines like a President ought to, the way all those losers who were President before him never did. Lots of people say so.

And while Trump will be bragging about this until he dies, if the raid had failed you know he wouldn’t have taken any of the blame.

That mealy mouth liar was in Chicago yesterday to address the police chiefs’ conference being held here this year. Besides lying about the numbers, he claimed that Chicago is a horribly violent place because it is a Sanctuary City. In reality, the large majority of our violence is perpetrated by born and raised American gang bangers. So, once again, he is using misery and death to further his political agenda.

If it had failed we never would have heard about it. The most we would get was that X number of service men will killed in an engagement with hostile forces.

I’m pissed that a) my relatives fall for his garbage and b) are in the house together to talk about it.

There’s another part of the reason. He’s a natural blabbermouth, but since Obama signed a law to lessen classified information released, of course he’s gonna say it.

Don’t take it out on your desk, it was smart enough not to vote for Trump.

It’s a very odd fixation of Trump’s. Notice that in your list the most frequent usage is “\_\_\_\_ was fired like a dog.”

Apparently in his long, long life no one has ever said to him, ‘_er, Donald, dogs don’t get fired. Why do you keep saying that??_’
