So now we can add another descriptor to the Idiot-in-Chief ...

... that of spineless weakling.

This is the man who tweets vitriol towards his perceived enemies within minutes of any slight, any word said against him, any questioning of his statements or actions. He threatens other nations with “fire and fury”, while labelling the free press “the enemy of the people”. He doesn’t hesitate to insult our allies, or decry his own party members as lazy and incompetent.

And yet today’s events in Charlottesville prompted not a denunciation of white nationalism/supremecy and the resulting violence, but merely a mealy-mouthed response that amounted to “both sides do it” – complete with the usual self-serving comments about how unemployment is down under his administration. That’s because there is NO event – no matter how horrendous – that he doesn’t use as an opportunity to stroke his own ego.

Donald Trump is a proven liar, a proven bigot, a proven racist – and will most likely be proven a traitor to the country when all is said and done.

Today he proved something else about himself. He is a spineless weakling who doesn’t have the courage to speak out against his own “base” of knuckle-dragging racists. He hides behind phrases about how racism has “been around for a long, long time”, as though it is something the nation should simply accept as a given and learn to live with.

In a moment that literally screams out for strong leadership, the Idiot Boy in the WH proved himself to be too spineless to lead, too weak to call white supremacists what they are.

Not only is Trump a small-dicked Emperor without clothes – he’s a weak-willed, weak-minded idiot without balls.

If matter and anti-matter exist and annihilate each other then that is Trump in a nutshell when it comes to basic human decency...

His comments about Charlottesville were weak and lily livered. And far too mild and brief. He was too eager to get to the part where he got to brag about how GREAT THINGS ARE NOW THAT HE IS IN CHARGE! And sign his name and auction off the signing pen. Didn't past presidents use multiple pens so they had several pens to pass around? Anyway, he was quite ill at ease and didn't get happy until he got to brag and boast. He can't even pretend to care when there is death and destruction to report. Sad...

He would cry for Mommy.

that he's scared of his own staff; he gave Bannon, Miller, and Gorka waaay too much leeway. Like the Russians, they "know stuff". Nasty little corner he's painted himself into, ain't it?

His vicious, racist dog whistles are what prompted this Vanilla ISIS terrorist act and ought to be charged (after being impeached and removed from office) as an accessory before the fact to the murder of the woman that Nazi rammed with his car.
