New GOP Trump Defense: He's A Fool. He's A Toddler. He Doesn't Know Any Better. He's New To Politics

[mudwhistle]

Obama didn't have the temperament to be presidunce but he simply got into the Executive Branch alot of the right people. Obama was an asshole. The media spent all of their spare time cleaning up his messes. Instead of reporting the news they were spending every waking hour discrediting his critics.
Now the press has a different function. Attacking the president. If Obama had to endure the kind of beating that Trump has taken from this hostile press he would have had a meltdown in his first month in office.

Arguing that Trump was a good choice for president because he has no experience in government is like

choosing your gardener to take out your appendix because someone with no medical experience is the best choice for the job.

A gardener has never screwed up an appendix operation while real surgeons have

Makes sense to go with the gardener. Look at the good job he did in the garden!

Apologies to the mods if this was already threaded...

Paul Ryan in what I'm sure was an uncontrollable carom into the truth, ripped POTUS a new one

“He’s new to government,” Ryan said. “And so he probably wasn’t steeped in the long-running protocols that establish the relationships between DOJ, FBI, and White Houses. He’s just new to this.”

That Mr. Trump is 100% unqualified to be our President was clear on the day he announced his candidacy; at least it was to anyone with two working brain cells.

It is refreshing (though surprising) to hear the Speaker of the House confirm it.

It's a shame the Russians colluded with the Democrats in getting him nominated.

Trump has no defense.

 

[keepitreal]

WASHINGTON – Republicans attempting to explain President Donald Trump’s behavior appear to be trying out a novel approach: He ought not to be blamed for his mistakes because he doesn’t know any better.

**** off!

Hillary knew better, she knew full well what she was doing!

Which was what?

Which was what?

Like, you don't know what the **** I'm referring to!

 

[keepitreal]

Trump is either a tyrant or totally clueless

Why not both?

When this thing finally breaks down it will turn out Trump aides acted inappropriately

It will turn out either Trump was fully aware of their actions and condoned them
or
Trump is a clueless leader who neither knows or cares what his people are doing in his name

When this thing finally breaks down it will turn out Trump aides acted inappropriately

Yeah, so ******* what!
Inappropriate... yes, let's talk about it!

Huma was removing security headers from emails
and replacing them with inconspicuous email headers....

forwarding these emails, to herself and stored on a laptop
found in possession of her scumbag estranged husband

You had Justine Cooper, who handled technology matters,
for Bill Clinton, assist Hillary aide, Monica Hanley
over the ******* phone, to remotely transfer the emails,
stored on the private server, Hillary had set up in her home,...
to a Clinton Foundation issued laptop and copied onto a thumb drive!

Both of which, were later found in Hanley's possession,
having stated...she forgot to provide the laptop and thumb drive
to Clinton's staff after the archives(copies)were completed...

Even though, those 2 items
WERE SUPPOSEDLY LOST IN THE MAIL
AFTER SHE SENT THEM TO HILLARY IN THE MAIL

Furthermore, the new server company Hillary hired,
transferred those emails(backup files) onto the server
by downloading the emails to a google gmail account

Neither was her husband acting appropriately
when he asked Lynch for help on the plane!

It will turn out either Trump was fully aware of their actions and condoned them
or
Trump is a clueless leader who neither knows or cares what his people are doing in his name

Don't ******* tell me, you have made politics your life,
and have been actively involved in politics for 30+ years,
NOT TO MENTION, was the FLotUS, for 8 years....
and want to be president yourself....

AND YOU DIDN'T KNOW ANY BETTER!
THAT EVEN BILL, DIDN'T KNOW BETTER!
AND, YOU DIDN'T KNOW, TO A CERTAIN EXTENT
WHAT THE **** YOUR AIDES AND STAFF WERE DOING!

 

[keepitreal]

O.k. Lakhota,
tell me exactly, what I stated in my post, that you find funny!

EVERYTHING I STATED IS DOCUMENTED, FACT!
HOW DO YOU MORONS JUSTIFY DENIAL?

GOP’s New Defense of Trump: The Guy’s A Toddler, He Doesn’t Know Any Better.

From taking sides in the Qatar dispute to leaning on an FBI director to drop an investigation, Trump’s blunders should be excused, the argument goes.

WASHINGTON – Republicans attempting to explain President Donald Trump’s behavior appear to be trying out a novel approach: He ought not to be blamed for his mistakes because he doesn’t know any better.

“He’s new at government and so, therefore, I think that he’s learning as he goes,” House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) told reporters Thursday, explaining how Trump could have thought it was OK to lean on the FBI director to drop a criminal investigation.

Call it the toddler defense. Trump cannot be expected to understand appropriate behavior for a president because he is a businessman, not a politician, and is still only learning.

“Trump is like a parasite that invaded the body politic, and the part that is most rotten right now is the RNC,” said John Weaver, who ran Ohio Gov. John Kasich’s presidential campaign last year. “They should be ashamed of themselves.”

Weaver added that in addition to being wrong, reflexively defending Trump was bad politics. “Handcuffing yourself to a president who’s at 34 percent and sinking is not a good strategy,” he said.

So, he doesn't know any better? We all remember how Trump campaigned against being "politically correct" and how his supporters applauded and cheered him on. Therefore, Trump and his supporters cannot now plead ignorance as an excuse by saying this is all new to Trump since he had no prior political background.

Hmmm--Trump was never competent nor qualified to be POTUS. Anyone with half a brain knew that watching the debates. So basically what Republicans are FINALLY admitting is they've elected this

 

[Lakhota]

Trump is a man-child idiot. How could anyone be proud of voting for that?

They sure loved to attack over this but then elect someone with far less experience. What a bunch of idiots the republican base are.

You got all that from 'he's learning as he goes'? What he is learning is how corrupt and inept the public sector is first hand. In the private world most of them would not be employable.

nice to have NEW blood in government eh CCorn !!

When it is this entertaining...when they are this incompetent...when they are unaware of the basic rules of law....you betcha!!!!

...such as? When you are done chortling, that is.

You folks wanted the Tasmanian Devil for your President, as the Leader of the Free World.

People aren't going to just sit there and watch him go, to see what shit he breaks.

You dumb asshole. You still don't understand why people voted for and support the president. After all this time. We aren't seeking the approval of malcontents. I like what he's done so far for the most part, wouldn't have like anything Hillary would have done and very few people could stand up to the horseshit you have in abundance.

Repeating your nonsense over and over and over and over expecting it to become a hardened fact in people's mind only works on those already brainwashed.

You wouldn't know what irony is if you fell face first in it. You're a dimwitted political hack predending to be something you aren't. I admit my bias, you don't but you post it every day.
