here's trump today rewriting history:

[watch 2nd clip- this is what he'll say at the presser today... he is trying to clear it up....]

"I was asking a sarcastic, & a very sarcastic question, to the reporters in the room about disinfectant on the inside. But it does kill it." -- Trump tries to rewrite history, says he was speaking "sarcastically" when he mused about disinfectant injections being cure for Covid.

This shows exactly why narcissists are so dangerous.

This shows exactly why the only effective way of dealing with a narcissist in your life is "no contact".

After I severed contact with the narc in my life, a few days later he called me and I reluctantly picked up the phone.

He said "I NEED to talk to you!"

I replied "But that is NOT what I NEED!"

and hung up and never spoke to him again.

NO CONTACT is the ONLY CURE.

10. I did the same thing with 4 family members.

I broke no contact with one of them once after 8 years, only to harshly expose them to themselves.

No contact is the right thing, and the only thing.

Doesn't matter if it is lies or dangerous misinformation or a racist swipe.

3. Her next response should have been, "Your lying. We all saw you ask the Dr.s".

"You lied just now, it was not sarcastic, we have the tape."

So what if you get thrown out. Someone needs to stand the fuck up.

Oh, I'm sorry I threatened to kill the president, but I was just being sarcastic, so get over it.

Yeah, I'm sure that would totally fly.

11. Funny, I remember all the times the USPS wanted to raise rates and were denied by the Commission.

.

Because of all of the lobbying (bribes to politicians) that FedEx and UPS did, the USPS must accept final segment deliveries and only make 1 penny profit per package. This allows FedEx and UPS to privatize profits and socialize expenses... not requiring them to invest in delivery infrastructure, especially in rural areas.

ever been on his hands and knees scrubbing with Lysol or even using bleach in a kitchen sink, he would never have tried to joke sarcastically about them. These are serious cleaning products for objects only and not for all objects.

He is in a bubble of privilege and has always been.
