Trump endorses "Just do it" campaign




http://www.nydailynews.com/opinion/ny-oped-trump-and-his-flunkies-20180911-story.html

“What’s this?” Trump asked.

“Braille,” the architect replied.

Trump told the architect to take it off, get rid of it.

“We can’t,” the architect said, “It’s the law.”

“Get rid of the (expletive) braille. No blind people are going to live in Trump Tower. Just do it,” Trump yelled back, calling him weak.



This quote is from Barbara Res who was Vice President for the Trump Organization. She relates this story from the past. She says that Trump was always asking people to break the law or lie. He would always say "Just do it".

She says that it is still going on:



The “just do its” are getting done. And they are not directed at carpenters and painters or fan magazines. Now they’re about alienating allies, cozying up to dictators and employing dangerous nonsensical economic tactics.

The self-aggrandizing Anonymous wants the world to know that there are adults in the room. Really? What the hell are they doing?




What the hell are the Republicans doing? As he breaks the law Republican leadership is "Just letting him do it".

Fortunately malignant narcissists usually do not rise to this level of power.

no blind people would be allowed as they wouldn't fit his vanity picture.

"Just do it." As for the Republicans, this is the level complete moral, intellectual and spiritual political corruption operates at. Never seen anything like it.
