While many were celebrating the 4th of May with Star Wars movies and such I had to, being a political junkie, spoil my evening by watching Littler Donny and his Sh*t Show in an interview…..
There was more manure shoveled than a farm hand in the barn….
President Trump in an interview aired Sunday pushed back against analysts’ predictions about a recession, said he might abandon Ukraine-Russia peace talks, and, despite the oath he took on Inauguration Day, deferred to his lawyers about whether the president is obligated to uphold the Constitution’s due process guarantee. He also suggested how 11-year-olds can contribute to his trade war against China in the interview by Kristen Welker on NBC’s Meet the Press, which was taped Friday at Mar-a-Lago, per the AP. The topics included:
- Due process: Asked if he agrees with Secretary of State Marco Rubio that everyone in the US, whether a citizen or not, deserves due process, Trump would not commit. “I don’t know,” Trump answered, per the New York Times. “I’m not, I’m not a lawyer.” Adhering to due process could necessitate millions of court cases, slowing his mass deportations of people he described as murderers and drug dealers, Trump said. “I was elected to get them the hell out of here, and the courts are holding me from doing it,” he said. Trump said his lawyers will “obviously follow what the Supreme Court said.”
- Economic tension: The conversation became heated on a couple of points, one being some Wall Street analysts’ contention that a recession is looking more likely. “Well, I tell you something else. Some people on Wall Street say that we’re going to have the greatest economy in history,” he said. He again offered a reassurance, per the Washington Post. “Everything’s OK,” he said. “I said this is a transition period.” Another sore spot was the price of strollers, which Welker said is rising since he imposed tariffs. “Well, I don’t know, when you say strollers are going up, what kind of a thing?” Trump said. “I’m saying that gasoline is going down. Gasoline is thousands of times more important than a stroller or some place?”
- Russia and Ukraine: Trump said he’s been close to walking away from peace talks and still might do that. “There will be a time when I will say, ‘OK, keep going. Keep being stupid and keep fighting,'” he said.
- Dolls: Trump took heat for saying during a Cabinet meeting last week that price increases on goods caused by his tariffs might mean “children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls”—and that’s fine. Aides doubled down on that view, saying US-made dolls are better anyway, per the Hill. On Meet the Press, Trump returned to the subject. “I don’t think that a beautiful baby girl needs—that’s 11 years old—needs to have 30 dolls,” he said. “I think they can have three dolls or four dolls because what we were doing with China was just unbelievable. We had a trade deficit of hundreds of billions of dollars with China.”
- The next president: After saying a month ago that he wasn’t kidding about pursuing a third term in office, Trump stepped back. “This is not something I’m looking to do,” he told Welker. “I’m looking to have four great years and turn it over to somebody, ideally a great Republican.” He declined to name a GOP favorite to follow him but mentioned Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio as possibilities.
There was absolutely nothing of a redeeming quality in this interview….if anything it showed me how of out of touch this man really is….to say he is a clueless fool is being kind and anyone who buys any of this manure is a clueless fool and that is me being REALLY KIND.
I Read, I Write, You Know
“lego ergo scribo”
Once Ukraine signed the minerals deal, they might as well have surrendered to Putin the same day. Trump is sending them more Patriot missiles as part of the deal, then he will probably stop helping Zelensky at all. When it is all over, he will swoop in to claim his ‘signed deal’ and loot the minerals. Watching his interviews is bad for your health, as it must surely increase your blood pressure!
Best wishes, Pete.
Not bad at all….for I have a foam brick and a foam bat…..helps relieve the stress….LOL chuq
I’m sure the clueless fools appreciate your kindness.i however find their mindlessness hard to forgive.hugs
I try to old their stupidity up to a light but most are too dim to get it. chuq
Alcatraz now??
Can he get any sillier? chuq
While an “oath” is technically nothing more than a “promise,” in the case of former leaders of our country (many of them being religiously-oriented). the Presidential Oath was taken with their hand on a bible, so for many of them, it was truly an “oath.” Trump did NOT put his hand on the bible. So from that perspective, HIS “oath” was worthless. And he’s proving that day-by-day.
He illustrates a lack of breeding in my mind. chuq
The stuff coming out of D.C. just keeps getting stranger and stranger. I’ve gotten to the point where when the evening news is on and they get done with the weather report, I retreat down to my workshop in the basement because I know it’s going to be just more of the same insanity coming out of Washington. Someone, I don’t know who, has apparently now planted a bug in his head that the movie industry is in trouble (tell that to Disney) and he’s going to put tariffs on imported movies somehow?
What it all boils down to is that we have a US Congress that is perhaps the largest collection of self serving, snivelling, cowardly, corrupt pissants to ever walk the face of the Earth because it has willingly turned over its power and its duty to safeguard this country in exchange for the hundreds of millions of dollars being funneled into its pockets by wealthy extremists and corporations.
I wish I could retreat but I am an educated political junkie and this stuff is fascinating….I agree Congress is a worthless bunch of parasites that live and work for themselves. chuq
It’s gotten to the point where the only actual news I listen to is the local news on a local radio station which comes on at exactly 5 minutes past the hour. The first 5 minutes are the national news and if I time it just right I can avoid that. I generally don’t find out about his latest idiotic antics until days after he says it. I’ve started to look at it this way: There’s nothing I can do to change what’s going on in D.C. so all I’m doing when I listen to the national news is aggravate my already high blood pressure. I’m already on two different medications to keep it down and if I keep listening to this stuff they’re going to have to put me on a third pill.
U understand but my brain will not let me ‘look the other way’….it is just something I have lived with for all these years. chuq
And the shit show goes on.
Bring in the clowns comes to mind. chuq
