He's setting up blame for getting his clock cleaned in the election, and probably for his impeachment, as well. I don't know why he bothers with the set up, since everyone who isn't one of his simpleton cult followers is already onto his blame game. There are a hell of a lot more of us than there are of them, and we already know he won't take responsibility for his own failure.

Sun Aug 25, 2019, 08:56 PM
Aug 2019

He's at the G7, and this is the first real day of meetings, right? So he sees these leaders and leaves and goes and tweets that, and then retweets that, knowing they know they didn't say any such thing. And he doesn't care that they are sitting there staring at him and thinking, "He's LYING about us right now!"

It used to be he'd spin some yarn about "my friend Jim" who said something implausible to him months or years ago. At least it potentially could be true... he could have have had some friend named Jim (setting aside the unlikelihood of him having a friend at all).

But this is just blatant uncaring about the consequences of being caught. He pretty much identifies the people he's lying about (the other world leaders), and claims they said something not just stupid but also embarrassing. None of them would ever say that about the press-- well, Boris, maybe, but he wouldn't say it in such a dopey fashion that makes it sound like he's Trump's little fluffer.

So he says this and he doesn't care that everyone he's talking about is right there right this minute and it's only impeccable manners that keeps them from saying he's a liar.

Sun Aug 25, 2019, 04:26 PM

and like true, pathological lying, as in bold faced untruth, he is continuing to play the dick-tater tactic of discrediting the media repeatedly with the aim to deflect any truthful reporting about him so that he is seen by his base as the only source of what is true.

Since he doesn't have a full-fledged politburo, (well, the Republicans kind of fit the bill) or Ministry of Truth, that's not really going to work well. Even Faux News Pravda is not doing so well or able to side in completely without becoming more incredulous and ridiculous.

And what he says is proven to be a whole skein of lies in a constant stream of Trumporhea. Talk about a contradiction.

I wonder if we get to hear about who said what and when there, soon? I can't even imagine that world leaders are buying his bag of bull droppings at all, they are far more savvy and sophisticated than that. We sent a clown.

As part of the latest budget, she was granted $100 Million to spread the word about women in business. So, off to other countries she went. Looking for sweatshops to have her stolen designs assembled cheaply. No doubt she will get trademarks overseas, in case Jyna (her daddy's way of saying China) gets mean with their tariffs. I hope SOMEONE is keeping track of where that money is spent.

Trump is so desperate for approval that he thinks his laughably outrageous lies are actually believable. He lives in a bubble fantasy world where he is revered and admired by everyone, and even his enemies respect him.

Trump is a sad little man, out of his element and desperately trying to get validation from the top leaders of the world. What must they think of our national disgrace, this petulent, impulsive man child who could ruin the world without a care.
