Day 963 Trump is an Idiot
Monday August 26, 2019
436 Days until the 2020 election and 518 days until the Inauguration
For those of you who read my screeds on a regular basis you’re probably wondering about the title of this one. I mean it has been obvious from the outset that DT is not well balanced or that smart. He prefers his ignorance to learning. His behavior is childish and bullying. So why bring up what is obvious? That he is an idiot?
Because we need to remind ourselves of this simple fact from time to time.
There are those who do not watch real news. Who listen to lies and believe them and have no counter because they haven’t taken the time, or interest, to learn the facts. They don’t like the truth because it does not comport to their world view.
Recently, I have been confronted with really ugly untrue things being said and relayed by people I know. It’s sad. I do point out, when I can, that the thing they are repeating is a lie. Not that they care, but it’s some little thing I can do.
No Beto did not say that.
Do you think making fun of someone who wears a different head gear than you who wear a baseball cap backwards is helpful?
No the president did not help disabled veterans by signing an executive order saying they didn’t have to pay their student debt. Obama signed a law in 2014 doing that.
Yes, Democrats voted not to give aid to veterans for their student loans because they needed to figure out how to pay for it first, which they did, and it was in New York State, not the Federal government.
But now we have had the G-7 and many are breathing a small sigh of relief that Trump didn’t do more damage than he did already. He has shown he is clueless on economics and tariffs. He has no real plan for confronting China. He abandons our allies and bolsters our adversaries. It seems he won’t say a bad word about Putin because it might still scotch his Moscow Tower deal. Don’t you like our president lying to us, and our allies, just so he can possibly make a buck in Russia?
Now the Agriculture Department Cabinet Secretary is reneging on promises to buyout scientists that they forced to either go to Kansas City where there was no where for them to work or to retire, who choose to retire. The little piece I was shown reported the “baffling” behavior of Secretary Perdue. What’s baffling? He’s a moron. He’s dismantling one of the premiere scientific agencies in the world because the alternate facts crowd doesn’t like the conclusions the scientists were coming to, and the president is a mean spirited nasty little punk. What’s baffling? If he can do something mean, nasty, and hurtful he will and his secretary will carry it out.
Meanwhile Melania continues to make headlines:
– there’s the meme of the lady in the long pink coat ignoring Trump and shaking Melania’s hand,
– there’s the picture of Melania in a yellow dress with two giant white circles with red streaks in them: one on her shoulder and one on the opposite hip. The question was asked, “Who wore it better Ronald McDonald or her?”
– there’s the picture of her meeting Justin Trudeau with Trump looking toward the ground. She seems rather interested. The photo has been made into a mock Harlequin Romance book cover.
Then there’s the burning of the Amazon. Seems once a hard right prejudiced politician got voted in to head up Brazil it was taken as a sign that they could burn down the rain forest, 77,000 fires so far. What isn’t being talked about is the same thing is going on in Africa.
The Amazon rainforest has been called the lungs of the Earth. I wonder what happens if we run out of air? I guess some savvy person will figure out a way to bottle and sell it. No problem.
