It reminds me of that great quote by Mr. Welch, I think?.. Have you no shame?
I think the names wrong, someone help
I just heard Yamiche Alcindor mention that when she arrived in the rose garden today she noticed that the chairs for reporters were much closer together than they had been during this pandemic. She wondered why. The reason was so that Trump could mention that even the reporters were sitting closer today.
Fuck him.
Not to take away from the inhuman stupidity of what he said about George Floyd, but keep in mind that when he was attempting to portray to the American people a smidgen of respect for Mr. Floyd, what he had in mind in actuality was to use the press as tools for a soundbite.
Maybe you should watch the actual clip before you get mad.
I’ve said this in one of the other threads, but even if he does win re-election, by 2024 his name will essentially be mud, and whoever the Republican nominee happens to be that year will be running as fast as possible from the Trump brand.
For one, if Trump does win re-election, it will be by the slimmest of margins, and it’s not going to change the fact that a lot of people absolutely despise him. Another thing is he will likely continue mismanaging whatever crises come his away, including a possible resurgence of Covid-19. And by 2024, all but his most die hard supporters will have tired of his antics. Sure, he will have been a useful idiot for appointing conservative judges and whatnot, but once he stops being of use, most of the power brokers in the GOP will be all too happy to give him the cold shoulder. And as someone up above mentioned, he’s also not known for showing loyalty to subordinates, so don’t expect many underlings to be extolling his legacy either.
If pressed, the 2024 GOP nominee might offer some praise for his lowering of taxes and keeping the “liberal agenda” at bay, or some such bullshit. But that will be mainly to avoid pissing off the die hards, or more importantly to keep Trump himself from trying to sabotage the campaign. For the most part, though, the nominee will be bending over backwards to avoid so much as uttering the word Trump on the campaign trail. Of course that won’t stop Trump from trying to put himself front and center, and it will be mighty interesting to see how that dynamic plays out. What the Republicans had going for them in 2008, was that Bush himself knew he was unpopular and wisely avoided getting involved in the campaign that year, other offering a perfunctory endorsement for McCain. Trump, on the other hand, will continue believing that he’s the greatest president ever, and insisting that he’s far more popular than what the Fake News is reporting.
