Totally unreported by the mainstream media, Trump's war against a forgotten victim continues.
Trump said his father was born in Germany this week (he said it this week, he wasn't claiming his father was born this week), his dad was born in New York.
I think he's a compulsive liar. I think he does it without thinking about it. Just lies, lies, lies.
Yesterday the president of the United States said that asylum seekers were not people.
He said they were animals.
2019.
I don't believe I'm about to defend Trump but if you're referring to the Twitter ****storm, then it's an old clip now being taken out of context. He was referring to MS-13 members. Fake news I'm afraid.Quote:

This popped up on social media feed today. Nicely put together by Adam Troy Castro.
Why do liberals think all Trump supporters are all STUPID?
An anguished question from a Trump supporter: "Why do liberals think Trump supporters are stupid?"
The serious answer: Here’s what we really think about Trump supporters - the rich, the poor, the malignant and the innocently well-meaning, the ones who think and the ones who don't...
That when you saw a man who had owned a fraudulent University, intent on scamming poor people, you thought "Fine."
That when you saw a man who had made it his business practice to stiff his creditors, you said, "Okay."
That when you heard him proudly brag about his own history of sexual abuse, you said, "No problem."
That when he made up stories about seeing muslim-Americans in the thousands cheering the destruction of the World Trade Center, you said, "Not an issue."
That when you saw him brag that he could shoot a man on Fifth Avenue and you wouldn't care, you chirped, "He sure knows me."
That when you heard him illustrate his own character by telling that cute story about the elderly guest bleeding on the floor at his country club, the story about how he turned his back and how it was all an imposition on him, you said, "That's cool!"
That when you saw him mock the disabled, you thought it was the funniest thing you ever saw.
That when you heard him brag that he doesn't read books, you said, "Well, who has time?"
That when the Central Park Five were compensated as innocent men convicted of a crime they didn't commit, and he angrily said that they should still be in prison, you said, "That makes sense."
That when you heard him tell his supporters to beat up protesters and that he would hire attorneys, you thought, "Yes!"
That when you heard him tell one rally to confiscate a man's coat before throwing him out into the freezing cold, you said, "What a great guy!"
That you have watched the parade of neo-Nazis and white supremacists with whom he curries favor, while refusing to condemn outright Nazis, and you have said, "Thumbs up!"
That you hear him unable to talk to foreign dignitaries without insulting their countries and demanding that they praise his electoral win, you said, "That's the way I want my President to be."
That you have watched him remove expertise from all layers of government in favor of people who make money off of eliminating protections in the industries they're supposed to be regulating and you have said, "What a genius!"
That you have heard him continue to profit from his businesses, in part by leveraging his position as President, to the point of overcharging the Secret Service for space in the properties he owns, and you have said, "That's smart!"
That you have heard him say that it was difficult to help Puerto Rico because it was the middle of water and you have said, "That makes sense."
That you have seen him start fights with every country from Canada to New Zealand while praising Russia and quote, "falling in love" with the dictator of North Korea, and you have said, "That's statesmanship!"
That Trump separated children from their families and put them in cages, managed to lose track of 1500 kids. has opened a tent city incarceration camp in the desert in Texas - he explains that they’re just “animals” - and you say, “well, ok then.”
That you have witnessed all the thousand and one other manifestations of corruption and low moral character and outright animalistic rudeness and contempt for you, the working American voter, and you still show up grinning and wearing your MAGA hats and threatening to beat up anybody who says otherwise.
What you don't get, Trump supporters in 2019, is that succumbing to frustration and thinking of you as stupid may be wrong and unhelpful, but it's also...hear me...charitable.
Because if you're NOT stupid, we must turn to other explanations, and most of them are less flattering.

The man is actually a genius....
Take Iran... He's claimed they weren't complying with the nuclear treaty and cancelled US involvement, this is despite the international nuclear inspectors saying they were, the rest of the western world saying they were and even the CIA saying they were.
Move forward a year or so and he's now turned the screws big time on any country doing business with Iran, trade with them and you don't trade with the US or any country that trades with the US (assuming that other country still wants to trade with the US).
As a result a specialist oil supplied by Iran to South Korea, amongst others and only available from two locations on the planet is now solely supplied by the US.
Hmmm....

As an aside its an extremely light oil... Imagine the difference from a heavy 'sludge' crude oil and, say wd40, the oil in question is lighter by the same difference but using wd40 as the starting point.

He cheats kids at golf. Surprisingly unsurprising.Quote:
They get to a hole with a big pond on it. Both Ted and his son hit the ball on the green, and Trump hits his in the water. By the time they get to the hole, Trump is lining up the kid’s ball. Only now it’s his ball and the caddie has switched it. The kid’s like, “Daddy, that’s my ball.”
But Trump’s caddie goes, “No, this is the president’s ball; your ball went in the water.” Ted and his son look at each other confused, not sure if this is really happening. And Trump’s caddie says, “This is the president’s ball. I don’t know what to tell you.”
Trump makes that putt, wins one up, and declares himself the club champion.
I posted that a month ago, if the NY Times take a month to report a story of such massive importance I think they've got problems.Quote:

He surely can't be serious with this Tweet:
For all of the money we are spending, NASA should NOT be talking about going to the Moon - We did that 50 years ago. They should be focused on the much bigger things we are doing, including Mars (of which the Moon is a part), Defense and Science!
I'm calling it, he's slipped up and just exposed the fact his whole presidency is, a massive orchestrated troll.
I think they have a plan to go to the moon again as part of a larger plan to get to mars. So I think he means going to the moon is a part of going to mars. However, as usual with Trumpy, who tf knows?Quote:

As someone said on Twitter, I won't believe she's leaving the White House until she denies it herself.Quote:

In that case. He’d have been as well saying that going to the moon is a part of staying on the earth seeing as the theory suggests that each rocky world that orbits the sun came from a super earth.Quote:
