The Trump Administration: A Clusterfuck in the Making

Why would he start thinking now? :slight_smile:

About 80% of the Medals of Freedom the vulgarian has doled out have gone to ex-sportsball guys. It’s another one of his “Presidential” firsts.

And right on cue, today:

‘He’s losing his s—’: Trump’s advisers are increasingly worried about his mental state following days of erratic behavior

[my emphasis]

I guess Trump really is deteriorating. They used to describe him as an 8-year-old.

I would like to see his entire staff quit and walk out en masse. That would amuse me.

Is it just me, or does every close-up of him show bloodshot eyes? Perhaps he’s just high as fuck. It would explain a lot, except for his inability to crack a smile.

Adderall (snortable amphetamine) is a harsh mistress.

Idiotic voters and the GOP. They protected him when he makes fun of a handicapped person, they’ll protect him over Alabama and pretty much anything else.

If the Haley rumours are correct I wonder if in a last ditch **fuck you ** Pence invokes the 25th amendment.

He’s always “losing his shit” and falling apart or whatever. I have no doubt he’s even more bananas in private than he is in public, but if this is supposed to hint that he might be headed to the funny farm any second I don’t buy it. That’ll never happen, even if at least the 25th should be invoked. I don’t know why they keep teasing those of us who would like to see him gone. Even if he were running around buck naked on the WH lawn, pubbies would cover for him.

Apparently now he’s forced NOAA to say that he was right about Alabama. OMG. But he’s not vindicated because he forced a federal government agency to say what he wants them to say. He thinks he is but that’s because he’s an idiot. Sometimes I think I will just crawl under my bed and stay there forever.

Do they mean mental deterioration in this sense of the dementia? Maybe it is just increasing frustration from having to continually defend himself from all the stupid shit he keeps getting himself into and because he can’t just hereby order things to happen like he could before becoming President. Hasn’t he always been like this?

I’m trying to imagine how he would handle a real crisis, say something like the events of September 11, 2001. He would not do well.

I envision him being chased by men in white coats with big butterfly nets.

Hard Brexit is on the horizon. People talk about China and trade and Trump in regards to the possibility of an upcoming recession, when in reality there’s just as good a chance that Boris Johnson will “lead” the UK over the cliff, taking the world with him.

“Flying water tankers. Must act quickly!”

Maybe we’ll end up cloning his hair.

What rumor about Haley?

It seems the military is being subverted by Trump, also. Military aircraft are now refueling at a commercial airport instead of military ones, where the fuel is much less expensive in order to keep Trumps Scottish golf course from going out of business. The flight crews are staying at the golf course.

That Trump plans to dump Pence in favor of Nikki Haley as VP:

https://www.cnn.com/2019/08/21/politics/nikki-haley-vice-president-rumors/index.html

The implication is that Trump wouldn’t wholeheartedly endorse ‘Pence 2024’ because Trump was considering making sure Pence wouldn’t be in a position to run in 2024 (having been dumped in favor of Haley). But of course it’s also possible Trump was thinking ‘hey, I’m still going to be President in 2024 and beyond!’

I seldom hear pundits or news people point out that there are golf resorts and hotels that actually don’t need to be propped up in these ways…they don’t need to be subsidized by American taxpayers. There are some that do just fine without that kind of help. Some even operate at a profit!

Funny that these thoughts never occur to Trump’s fans. His massive incompetence is just hand-waved away.

Forgot to add 2 things:

[ol]
[li]The Pentagon has been refusing since May to answer Congress’s inquiries about why the military planes are using commercial airports and paying commercial prices for fuel instead of using military bases and paying (far lower) military prices for fuel.[/li][li]The President is trying to force Ukraine into investigating Joe Biden, and is using the aid that the Ukraine desperately needs, that we promised to Ukraine to help it defend itself against Russian aggression after the annexation of Crimea, to do so. In short, if the Ukraine doesn’t help Trump defeat Biden, the Ukraine faces the loss of more of its territory, and possibly its independence and existence, if they don’t play ball.[/li][/ol]

There really aren’t any words left.
