He's a salesman. A liar. But the rubes were so desperate that they sold their souls to him.

That's where his talent lies. Being able to manipulate people. Not running a business and certainly not running a country. How will we ever put the pieces of this already shattered country back together after this?

Trump’s self-inflicted tariff crisis sparks confusion, chaos and questions of competence​

Trump Skips Return Of Dead U.S. Soldiers To Play Golf And Boost His Business Instead​

While Trump typically goes to Florida for his $3.4 million golf weekends on Fridays, he traveled a day early this week to attend a closed-door dinner at his Doral golf resort for the Saudi LIV tour, one of his business partners that holds events at his courses.
This trip, though, will cost taxpayers at least $4.2 million because of the detour to Miami International Airport, which is located just two miles east of Trump’s Doral resort. Trump nevertheless took a Marine helicopter to fly to the golf course and back rather than ride in his motorcade.

Neither is this.

What this disastrous week taught us about the Trump presidency​

The true nature of America’s crisis has been revealed.

First, Trump has empowered Laura Loomer, a 9/11 conspiracy theorist and self-described “proud Islamophobe,” to purge top government officials. The head of the National Security Agency, his top deputy, and six staffers on the National Security Council have all been fired this week — seemingly at Loomer’s behest.

"Thank you President Trump for being receptive to the vetting materials provided to you," Loomer wrote in a social media post. "And thank you for firing these Biden holdovers."

"NSA Director Tim Haugh and his deputy Wendy Noble have been disloyal to President Trump," she added. "That is why they have been fired."

Loomer, who has spread false conspiracy theories that the 9/11 attacks were an “inside job,” did not cite specific examples of when they had been disloyal to Trump. She said they could not be trusted because they were Biden appointees.

Haugh and Noble are career officials who have spent decades working under Republican and Democratic administrations. Haugh has spent more than 30 years in the Air Force, primarily in intelligence and cyber positions. Nobles joined the NSA in 1987 and has worked her way up in the agency since then.

Why is a deranged conspiracy theorist even let in the front door of the White House and how does she get the ear of the prez on national security matters?

Consider, if you will, these startling events took place over the course of just a few days. They are not an anomaly because abnormality has become the rule during trump 2.0, not the exception. In ways that are disorienting, difficult to grasp in their magnitude, and illustrative of the enormous threat the regime poses to the stability of the country.

Has the "normal" been working? I thought you Leftists were all about doing something different because the "norms" aren't working?

As far as rooting out fraud and waste in the Federal bureaucracy is an abnormality that I welcome. Everyone should.

But, you believe that Biden was the smartest guy in the room; sharp as a tack.

 

[berg80]

You can cry all you want

Did you notice what investors in the stock market did this week? Or what the reaction to Dotard's tariffs were around the world? Is there a justification for not honoring fallen soldiers to attend a golf tournament? Or taking national security advice from a deranged lunatic?
Let's go buttercup. Defend your vote.

Nope, I said he was too old to be President. Many times.

But I'm glad you had to lie to deflect. Always a good sign.

To steal a line from another poster, Trump took one look at the Talk Radio crowd and said, "THIS is gonna be EASY".

I don't know how this turns out. Things were bad enough before, but now we're a global pariah. America alone.

I'm reminded of how he isolated himself at previous meetings of world leaders during trump 1.0. As though he knew those people were smart enough to be on to the con. Also, how he pushed past another leader as though physical strength was more important than intellectual prowess.



He knows one thing. How to be a bully. The rubes have given him an office from which he can bully just about everyone. "Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely."

Your squad won. Time to take responsibility for your colossal mistake.

I don't have a squad and I didn't vote for either of them. I made no mistake. I am not going to pretend the sky has fallen either because Bezos and Musk are worth less money on paper now.

 

[jknowgood]

Just brilliant. That's just a fantastic reason to unhinge the world's economies. You must have consumed gallons of the Kool-Aid to reach such a conclusion. Making you perfect to join Dotard's team of myopic, deluded, economic advisers.

Making America Great Again, really pisses you off.
