Trump Goes on Border Security Tweetstorm After Gov't Reopens: 'We Will Build the Wall!'

Source: Mediaite


by Josh Feldman | Jan 26th, 2019, 10:04 am

President Donald Trump went on a tweetstorm this morning after he signed the spending bill reopening the government––at least until February 15th.

Trump insisted last night the deal is not a concession, despite not getting the $5.7 billion he demanded, and he made it clear in tweets this morning he’s still going to fight for the wall, while also quoting guests on this morning’s Fox & Friends:

Fighting over a Tonka truck.

It baffles me how he ever got a reputation as a "master businessman" or the "Deal Maker". What a fucking joke we've all seen that to be. There are 7-year-old Girl Scouts selling cookies in front of Albertson's whose professional, managerial, and communication skills leave that incompetent dumbfuck in the dirt.

If he had any brains, he’d stop talking about his biggest signature failure as President. It just reminds folks about how feckless he is.

Except for as he's slowly reeled in to jail. Along with his family, enablers, and anti-democracy forces.

In my dreams I think about some shadow government that is slowly taking form and taking control and is based on the rule of law.

If the US can force such a thing on other countries (Venezuela, Vietnam, Iraq, Iran, many others), then maybe a benevolent party can do it here. And I don't think Putin's attempted coup is the right model.

reminds me of a idea LBJ suggested to his advisors when he finally realized we were not going to win the Vietnam War. Lets just pave over the country and bring our troops home and announce that we had won the war. He told them that if you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently and loudly the people will believe it.

and throwing money at imaginary problems. By now, Majority Leader McConnell may see that he should return the Senate to "regular order" (as recommended by Senator McCain). If 0range45 wants the Wall, he should begin with a group of representatives willing to champion a bill in the House. Just like in the card game Bridge, he needs to show his strength for getting this project to completion.

Such a slow learner!

Trump tried his bully boy tactics, 'I am in charge here, I want a wall, you will do as I say!'

A resounding NO was the response.

So now he is sulking, looking for some way to get what he wants. Whatever that is. (Something you can see from space, something to remember him by when he passes?)

Slow learner, still equating border security with a bigly yuge wall? After many people have pointed out that border security does not necessarily mean a wall?

Inflexible, fossilized brain in a mistreated and decaying body. He needs replacing with a functional POTUS unit. ASAP.
