No tbh. Whats that?
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."

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”

"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,

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.

He dropped his mic didn't he
lol playing the race card
Pathetic.
Why is Trump picking and choosing whom to help, Chris?
Because that's what Presidents do...
lol Pavlov
So the people losing their jobs because of Trump's tariffs deserve no help from him at all?
Those "jobs aren't coming back" right Pavlov?
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.
Sorry, question pending.
A sampling.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/busin...=.05004a9b7a24Hardy’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.
So what is Trump doing for them?
Exactly. Piss knows that too.![]()
Daily Caller is an outstanding media outlet imo
