10, 20, 30, 40, 50…never. Nixon had more class than this, though Nixon surrounded himself with the same calibre of miscreant. Yet the people who complained about a tan suit being un-presidential are perfectly OK with this.
That is why Trump supporters are DEAD to me. I will never, ever trust their judgment on anything.
ETA: If one is a Republican/Conservative, and realize (and should have realized since day fucking 1) what a shitshow your party has created, that’s fine. But what the general Republican party has become is, like they do with everything, what they call their enemies who wear the same red: RINO. Because the general Republican party of Trump, McConnell, Ryan, Nunes, et al are Facists.
"It was miraculous. It was almost no trick at all, he saw, to turn vice into virtue and slander into truth, impotence into abstinence, arrogance into humility, plunder into philanthropy, thievery into honor, blasphemy into wisdom, brutality into patriotism, and sadism into justice. Anybody could do it; it required no brains at all. It merely required no character. "
Not impossible. But it seems more likely to me that it was planned from the beginning by some genius in the Trump circle, when the WH budget plan was being slapped together:
‘everyone will run around with their hair on fire when DeVos announces this and she’ll try to defend it and will look like a heartless moron and it will be HILARIOUS. Then you can ride in like a knight in shining armor and announce you are the Savior of the Special Olympics. This will keep the media busy and off the topic of Russia, for sure.’
This is it. The rampant, blatant, pathetic insecurity on display.
60 million Americans thought that a person so sad and small and ridiculous would make a great President.
Bully-worshipers are lacking in basic intelligence. There’s no other possible explanation. I mean, sure, they love the racism----but you’d think they’d want a racist who possessed some fundamental self-esteem. You’d think they’d reject someone so weak and anxious and neurotic.
Since when is it Mexico’s responsibility to defend another country’s borders? On top of that, that jackass tarnishing the once respected office of the president of the United States of America has been punishing (in various ways) those who are attempting to enter the USA in compliance with USA law.
Dems should take a look at the Trump family (and friends) stock purchases.
Not to say that the border isn’t having an emergency (of sorts) but between the December crash and (assuming this comes), it would be a pretty amazing use of the Presidency to execute a few Pump and Dump schemes. (Or, in Trump’s case, “Deflate, wait for resurgence, and dump.”)
As to the actually DHS emergency, I’m sure that their crisis will be handily averted by being asked to shut down the entire US/Mexico border, at the same time as dealing with their overcrowding issue. :dubious:
