I'd say "why would Trumpstettes try to defend his juvenile attempt to avoid any responsibility"?
But we all know, don't we. Trump is a serious man, no one denies this. It's actually sort of funny to see their attempts to disguise what he is not. And if it weren't so ******* trivial and about just making a mistake as to where a hurricane is going (and apparent ignorance of the general path of hurricanes that go with a westerly flow, but shift NE after traveling across land and losing the water that helps sustain energy) I'd say … hey all President's do it.
Reagan cut and run in the ME and never accepted responsibility for 220 dead Marines. LBJ chose not to run for a second term and to look for a peace deal, but he never accepted responsibility about false information in the Gulf on Tonkin. Slick and Somalia. Not a peep. Ditto Obama and Benghazi. In fact the only one I recall from my lifetime who owned up to it was JFK when describing the Bay of Pigs said "success has many fathers, but failure is an orphan."
I mean if this isn't so trivial as not being limited to a joke and laugh at the Trumpsettes' "pathetic" attempts to cover a naked fat old orange fart, we could be in for some trouble when his incompetence gets in some really deep shit.
With any other President, this “crisis” would have been over in twenty minutes and there would have been minimal press coverage
Any other president would have corrected themselves, apologized for any confusion in Alabama and moved on
But it is not in Trumps makeup. He thinks admitting error shows weakness
Instead he shows weakness of character as he continually digs a deeper hole in trying to cover up with more lies and misinformation
Well to me it's not really about Trump. Sure him and his magic marker is funny. And humiliating head of Homeland Sec by making him hold the "gee mom, I made it last night and thought it looked real good" map … sweet. And that sob needs some humiliating because he's up to his eyeballs in the cowboy misogynist culture infecting that show.
But it's really about his fans.
And don't get me wrong. When Romney came out and said Obama's coverup over why Benghazi happened was important .. he was right. For Pol was NOT Obama's strong pt. LOL Of course Romney was a plutocrat so when Obama's campaign went negative in the early fall and took him out early it was not all that unfair. Romney IS a plutocrat. Probably a very competent one, but a plutocrat with a garage elevator and dancing horse. LOL
And Trump didn't really need to say anything. Just trot out the Lyin Sarah replacement to say … the hurricane is not going to Ala. Is it his ego or his childhood lack of self-esteem? Whatever it is, it is defining. And defining for his supporters.
Remember when Obama humiliated him at the Wash Correspondents Dinner. Trump still wears that bruising. LOL Obama had cartoon graphics of Trump decorating the WH like Mar a Lago. And it's turned out to be … TRUE. LOL
