POTUS is totally cool with collateral damage from U.S. drone strikes - in fact, he seems to welcome it: Report: Trump asked CIA why it waited for a target to walk away from his family before striking
That’s one of his campaign promises, to kill the families of terrorists.
As long as they’re not white and preferably immigrants/not on US soil.
If you’re a white citizen who, say, kills 50+ people in Las Vegas, you can send out a tweet of platitudes at the most.
Trump, on Twitter today:
“If President Obama had crossed his stated Red Line In The Sand, the Syrian disaster would have ended long ago! Animal Assad would have been history!”
Trump on Twitter, in 2013:
“The only reason President Obama wants to attack Syria is to save face over his very dumb RED LINE statement. Do NOT attack Syria,fix U.S.A.”
“AGAIN, TO OUR VERY FOOLISH LEADER, DO NOT ATTACK SYRIA - IF YOU DO MANY VERY BAD THINGS WILL HAPPEN & FROM THAT FIGHT THE U.S. GETS NOTHING!”
The War Criminal plank in his platform…
He brags about the Trump Tower withstood a fire but says nothing about a man who died as a result of it:
Annoying people isn’t what he’s doing. It’s far worse than that and quite a few non-liberals are also upset, outraged, and scared by him and his policies.
He’s fine with civilians being injured or dying:
He would love to bring back torture:
Tariffs and trade wars are not a problem in his eyes:
He lies like a rug:
There are so many more egregious incidents and policies that it would take me all day to link to all of them. The point is made.
How any of this is admirable or supportable is beyond me. But it’s not beyond folks like Clothahump, in whose eyes Trump can do no wrong.
Bah! “Consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds.”
My last client’s factory in the US was already being hurt by high steel prices for all of last year. This situation is likely to get that factory shut down. Mind you, that shrill woman who’d yell “Mister President Trump will Make America Great Again!” in the middle of meals is likely to blame the Mexicans, or them foreigners, or maybe it will be the fault of the transexual black Jews-not-for-Jesus living in a secret compound under Hillary’s basement.
At this point, I would be perfectly okay with a cardboard cutout of Obama/Bush II/Clinton/Bush I/Hulk Hogan propped up in a chair in the Oval Office.
Plus all this manufactured uncertainty is hard on companies. Because they have to make long range strategy decisions that take time and cost money to implement. So all this “maybe we’ll do this, maybe we won’t maybe we’ll do something else, check back next month” is very expensive and probably really infuriating.
I was with you up until Hulk Hogan. That would be more like having a fit Trump; instead of a bad combover, he’d have a bandana hiding his bald top. Stone Cold Steve Austin would be better. Maybe with a cut-out of Carter as his VP.
I agree with you about actual Hogan, but cardboard Hogan seems quite the step up from where we are.
Jesse Ventura?
John Cena seems to have a bigger heart. So does The Rock.
Yebbut the cardboard cutouts of them are real jerks.
I want to bring back mid-2000s mall emo so I’d support John Scena.
What a surprise - POTUS isn’t cool with the Feds going, with a warrant, after the records of his personal attorney: https://www.cnn.com/2018/04/10/politics/michael-cohen-search-warrant/index.html
He describes it as “they broke into the office of one of my personal attorneys”.
No, Donald. Executing a search warrant is not “breaking in”. That term applies to, for example, a skeevy old pervert barging into a dressing room to see underage naked girls.
That’s not barging in. He was “exercising his rights as the owner of the pageant”.
Blergh.
