Trump's Next Chief of Staff Called Him 'A Terrible Human Being' Just Before He Was Elected President

Yea, I know - it's from The Daily Beast. But it is none the less

Mick Mulvaney, the Office of Management and Budget director who President Donald Trump tweeted Friday would serve as acting chief of staff after John Kelly departs in January, has been a loyal Trump supporter—but he didn’t always like him so much.

During a debate with his then-congressional challenger, Democrat Fran Person, on Nov. 2 of 2016, less than a week before Trump was elected president, then-congressman Mulvaney was blunt with those gathered at York Middle School in York, South Carolina.

After decrying the Democratic nominee, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, as a liberal who would take the country in the wrong direction, Mulvaney said he was supporting Trump, essentially by default.

“Yes, I am supporting Donald Trump, but I’m doing so despite the fact that I think he’s a terrible human being,” he said, according to a report in The State newspaper.

1. "...but I'm doing so despite the fact that I think he's a terrible human being."

Because it's all about having the ability to do terrible things to other human beings, while profiting. Sure, it'd be great if the person leading the way was better at hiding how horrible he or she is (like the way Saint Ronnie and the Bushes did), but what really matters is that we profit off of destroying lives and the natural environment, largely by way of fomenting and exploiting racism and sexism. Golly, being a Republican is just swell.

2. It really is mind blowing!

3. Every time they mention Mulvaney on CNN or MSNBC they should do it thusly:

"Mick Mulvaney, who called President Trump 'a terrible human being' less than a week before the election, said/did X Y Z today" and see how long he lasts. Trump claims he doesn't watch, but his tweets say otherwise. He won't be able to control himself if he's constantly reminded of Mulvaney's comment.

4. And what kind of person would support someone despite the fact

that they think he's a terrible human being? Another terrible human being.

5. Well

When nobody else will take the job, even though trump says there were many, many fine people wanting to work as COS, you can't really hold it against the guy for saying trump "is a terrible human being", because there is "nobody" left who will take the job. When you are down to the last rotten apple in the barrel you can't be picky!

6. And to all of those that "serve"

in IQ45's band of thieves:

"Have you no sense of decency?"

Really, how can they even face themselves when the look in the mirror?

7. Wonder what they have on Mulvaney or promised him to turn him to being loyal to the dark side

May that too be revealed in time....

8. Many current lickspittles had little good to say about Trump, or bit the bullet and voted for him

Some, like Ted Cruz, were the recipients of vicious attacks.

Yet, like good little wingnuts, they all now seem quite willing to stand in line waiting for their chance to kiss His Imperial Highness's Imperial Derriere.
