There’s a thread in Elections soliciting ideas for anti-Trump campaign ads, and one highlighting Trump’s Stupidest Lies should definitely include his whopper about the Korean War soldiers, and their parents:
That was in mid-June. So far none of the “thousands and thousands” of parents of service members who died in the Korean conflict—which ended in 1953, making those parents very old indeed (late 90s at best), have come forward to describe their happiness at Trump (supposedly) granting their requests.
Trump got slapped down by his master hard, when he forgot himself so far as to “decree” that Putin would arrive this fall. Dopey Donnie, thinking he could order around the man in charge!
Nice of Bolton to try to clean up that little humiliation. But it’s just one more display of Trump’s lame ineptitude that his followers have to try to ‘lalalalala’ away.
Yeah. Maybe when he comes out to replace his star on the Walk of Fame, he can stop in at the Scientology Celebrity Center and get some tips on preventing minions from accessing data from unapproved sources.
Because Melanie only ever watches news and is never, ever interested in watching anything that actually calls itself “entertainment” instead of pretending that it is not.
A knock on Melania’s door as Donald pokes his head in. Melania rolls her eyes.
Melania: Yes, come in.
Trump: mmmmm pumpkin…really? Ya really gotta have that fake news on? (wipes back of hand across his nose)
Melania: (gesturing to second to TV) It’s waiting for you, Donny.
Trump: (turning on other TV): ok Pumpkin you know I don’t like ‘Donny’.
Anderson Cooper on Melania’s TV: The president, especially in the past week, has violated a number of norms that…
Trump: (a Spockian eyebrow at AC then back at his own TV): Now you see pumpkin, there’s America telling it like it is. (significant pause) Ok who is that?
Melania: (stonefaced, looks over at Don’s tv): Jenanine Pirro.
Trump: And she’s got nuthin on ya, pumpkin.
(an extended pinky is quickly swatted)
Melania: Can you turn yours down? I can’t hear anything now.
Yes, but I think the issue may be that they don’t necessarily support the guest’s devices, and presumably he wants to get Fox News anywhere in the world, even when there is no local carriage. I’m sure I remember reading that he could only get CNN on his first big trip.
I’m visualizing Trump as Ozymandias, in his Antarctic preserve, dressed in his purple cap and weird tiara, petting his genetically modified giant Cat while watching an entire wall of TVs, all of them switched to Fox.
Agreed. I’ve seen some quotes from Christian leaders (no, I’m not going to find the cites now) comparing Trump to the Biblical King David. In the Bible, David is (I guess, I don’t remember from my Bible-reading days) a very flawed person who God nevertheless works through to lead Israel to greatness. So, for these Christians, there’s pretty much nothing Trump could do personally that would make them turn away from him as long as he Makes America Great Again and appoints conservative judges.
