The Trump Administration: The Clusterfuck Continues

From article, Ford: “Believe me when I say I do not want to do this. I feel terrible for the American people who didn’t start this trade war. It’s one person who is responsible, it’s President Trump.”

“Republicans, at least the ones I speak to, do not agree with President Trump but they are too scared to go out there and say it publicly,” Ford said. “It’s a shame but we need to end this.”

Not to fear, he’s busily blaming that on the southern hemisphere criminal, drug-crazed and psycho immigrants storming across our border bringing vile diseases with them.

I wanted them to shut off the power completely, but a huge tariff is better. Hit em in the pocketbook.

Along with Molsons, poutine, and maple syrup.
Yes, you said southern hemisphere but it’s already established that Trump doesn’t understand magnets.

Come on, he’s not just a “white guy”; He’s a white guy with a cool nickname.

Named after dried and shriveled grapes?

Please. In six months, we’ll be hearing about how Joe is sneaking into government departments and telling all the Deep State moles how to trash the US economy and international reputation.

It’s still better than anything ever applied to Trump. Has he ever had a real friend give him an actual nickname?

Has he ever had a real friend?
Has he ever laughed?
Was he ever happy?
Was he ever loved?

Maybe, perhaps, I see a problem. Not the only one he has, but a relevant one. Fuck him.

Oh you sweet summer child. Some of these lunatics still hold a grudge against goddamn FDR.

From what I hear, there’s that John Barron guy. Seems to be pretty chummy with him.

Has he never been mellow?

Maybe what he meant is that he was going to lay some great big fat stinking eggs himself. He has certainly come through on that promise.

Not to mention all the things that will still be Obama’s fault and “Buttery-mails!” forever.

Has he ever had a sled golf club nicknamed Rosebud Pussy Grabber?

I saw it said once that the first time he ever heard the word “no” was when he asked “Are you proud of me, dad?”

Trump wants to dig up our military bases for rare earths, because I guess soldiers dying of black lung and radiation poisoning will boost readiness.

Just add that into the looming disaster connected with the PACT Act. (The link goes to Wikipedia.)

I’m honestly surprised he went the military route, instead of having schools make a great leap into metals production.

Remember in Futurama where Nixon’s Head decides he’s tired of faking it, and declares that as president he’ll sell our children to zoos for meat, and break into people’s houses at night and wreck up the place?

That honestly seems tame and disciplined compared to Trump’s recent behavior.

Who would have thought students at Department of Defense Education Activity schools would react negatively to purging diversity? (The link is to Stars and Stripes, the newspaper for the US military; it’s free until you hit a certain number of articles in a month.)

There is much more at the link. The final two lines of the article warmed my cockles.

I believe that was the half-elf ranger in a D&D campaign I played back in '98.
