    Trump Simply Can’t Pull Anything Off—Even His Most Nefarious Plots

    Trump will go down as the most dangerously corrupt and tragically incompetent president in America’s history.
    Trump just can’t get things done, and

    we need to stop having conversations predicated on the assumption that maybe he can.

    His dangerous incompetence is currently risking war in the Middle East and Asia,

    while pitting American against American in ways we haven’t seen in this country since the days of George Wallace.

    Donald Trump is never going to untangle that mess:

    He simply lacks the skills, and

    isn’t willing to turn details over to underlings who are competent.

    Instead, in Bolton and Pompeo, he has selected “hawks” historically hostile to Russia,

    which may be why he went out of his way to exclude them from his talks in Helsinki.

    It says a lot when a president is so incompetent

    he can’t even appoint advisers who agree with his worldview.


    He just can’t do things competently.

    This pattern has repeated almost daily since the election:

    consider how his other promises and actions

    reveal his distressing lack of competence and his failure to understand even the most basic elements of statesmanship and governance.

    On en lements,

    On trade,

    He just can’t do it on trade.

    He can’t do it on international relations.

    He can’t do it on infrastructure.

    He can’t do it on family issues.

    He can’t do it on health care.

    He can’t do it on taxes.

    His white supremacist base seems happy with his “rapist”/“ hole” rhetoric, but they’re being screwed economically by his policies, too.

    He can’t do it for low-income folks, people of color, or even the racists among his base.

    He can’t do it through politics.

    Trump can’t get his pitiful wall out of his own Republican-controlled Congress, and

    his brutal child-separation/detention-camp policies have horrified Americans across the political spectrum.


    He can’t do it on immigration.

    He has utterly failed at health care,

    He can’t do anything successful for working-class people.

    He can’t do it for the economy.

    The drug companies are laughing at him (and pretending to go along by holding prices down… for a few months),

    his infrastructure investment ideas have been killed by McConnell and Ryan, and

    the GOP won’t even discuss his (Ivanka’s) campaign promises of more governmental help for low-income women and children.


    He can’t do it to keep us well.

    Trump is handling U.S./Russian relations the way a small-time (non-public company, like Trump’s) CEO would negotiate a deal between their companies.

    Except that a competent CEO would have had his underlings work out most of the details before the first meeting took place—or at least immediately thereafter.

    As if to flaunt his incompetence, Trump hasn’t even yet told his national security team what he agreed to in his private meeting with Putin.

    he can’t work out a deal with Russia

    North Korea is openly flaunting their defiance of him

    he can have a “secret” conversation with Putin and

    he’ll just magically charm Russia’s far-more-sophisticated president into supine compliance with U.S. concerns.


    Predictably, it doesn’t seem to be working out.

    He just can’t do it.

    Trump just can’t learn, and instead, like a spoiled child,

    he’s now trying to destroy two of the most important bipartisan and multilateral accomplishments of his own country’s early 21st century.

    his promises to do things for average working Americans—or for world peace—were simply lies.

    He just can’t do it.


    Trump will go down as the most dangerously corrupt and tragically incompetent president in America’s history,

    and

    the most it seems we can hope for is that he won’t start World War III or

    flip America into fascism with his next tweet.

    Those are the things, history tells us, an incompetent leader actually can do.

    Trump Resorts to 'Pure 1984 Totalitarian Gaslighting,' Telling Supporters to Ignore News Coverage of His Policies



    the president uttered a phrase that critics said seemed ripped from the pages of George Orwell's classic dystopian novel 1984.

    "It's all working out," Trump told a gathering of Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) in Kansas City, Missouri.

    "Just remember:

    What you're seeing and what you're reading is not what's happening."

    Michiko Kakutani
    @michikokakutani

    ============

    Trump attacks press again as “fake news” & says:

    “What you're seeing and what you're reading is not what's happening."

    This is Orwellian:

    in 1984, “the Party would announce that 2 and 2 made 5...the very existence of external reality was tacitly denied”

    https://www.cnn.com/2018/07/24/polit...uri/index.html
    7:26 PM - Jul 24, 2018

    ===========

    "Don't believe the crap you hear from these people—the fake news," he said of reports of the negative impact of his trade policy.

    Trump's latest attack on the news media, which he has denounced as "really bad people" and "dishonest" and whose licenses he threatened to revoke last year,

    https://www.commondreams.org/news/2018/07/25/trump-resorts-pure-1984-totalitarian-gaslighting-telling-supporters-ignore-news?cd-origin=rss&utm_term=Trump%20Resorts%20to%20%27Pure %201984%20Totalitarian%20Gaslighting%2C%27%20Telli ng%20Supporters%20to%20Ignore%20News%20Coverage%20 of%20His%20Policies&utm_campaign=The%20Devil%20Is% 20the%20Detail%20%20%7C%20Your%20Week%20in%20Revie w&utm_content=email&utm_source=Weekly%20Newsletter &utm_medium=Email&cm_mmc=Act-On%20Software-_-email-_-The%20Devil%20Is%20the%20Detail%20%20%7C%20Your%20 Week%20in%20Review-_-Trump%20Resorts%20to%20%27Pure%201984%20Totalitari an%20Gaslighting%2C%27%20Telling%20Supporters%20to %20Ignore%20News%20Coverage%20of%20His%20Policies

    and now we have Trash and Julie Annie and Trash's deranged, slavish cult saying the tapes aren't real, faked, doctored, etc.

    Which precisely aligns with the evangelical grifter pastors telling their flock of sheeple that all Truth is in the Bible,

    no truth exists outside of the Bible,

    deny lying science,

    deny the legitimacy of govt, its laws and regs, and

    as your pastor HOLDING THE ING BIBLE,

    the Bible tells you to give me money, like 10% of your income.

    So the people losing their jobs because of Trump's tariffs deserve no help from him at all?

    Don't know. They certainly went away because of Trump.

    What is Trump doing to help them, Chris?

    Trump is a doing a great job. I'm not sure who or what you are upset about. Can you show me a link that drove you to this outrage?

    How is spending $12 billion of taxpayer money to cover losses from his tariffs a great job, Chris?

    Explain.

    A sampling.
    Among the first was Harley-Davidson, which announced that it was moving some of its operations overseas because Trump’s tariffs will raise prices of its bikes in the U.S. and shrink the market. The company hasn’t said exactly how many jobs will be affected.

    The country’s biggest nail maker, Mid-Continent Nail, said it laid off 60 U.S. employees on June 15 and that the whole company might go out of business by Labor Day. The Missouri company had been importing the steel for its nails from Mexico before the Trump administration placed a 25% tariff on the steel.
    REC Silicon, which manufactures polysilicon for solar equipment, said it laid off 100 workers at its factory in Washington State because of the U.S.’s ongoing trade dispute with China. The company said its Washington plant has gone down to a quarter of its production capacity because of the dispute.
    https://www.fastcompany.com/90180122...ing-to-pile-up

    Hardy’s company, Brinly-Hardy, has been in business since 1839. It survived recessions and the Civil War, but it might not survive a prolonged trade war. Hardy buys steel from U.S. companies, but Trump’s tariffs on foreign steel have caused domestic prices to rise, as well. Steel costs have jumped 33 percent since the start of the year, and Hardy says her costs are up even more. She was hit again by Trump’s first round of tariffs on Chinese products that went into effect in early July, another hefty cost eating into her bottom line. Other products she imports and says she can’t get domestically are on a list for a second round of tariffs on China likely to go into effect later this summer.....Hardy feels caught in a bind: If she raises her prices, foreign compe ors will undercut her. Instead, she cut almost 40 percent of her 200-person workforce, most of whom are blue-collar production workers at the Brinly-Hardy plant in southern Indiana.
    https://www.washingtonpost.com/busin...=.05004a9b7a24

    So what is Trump doing for them?
