More about Gaetz/trump on AF1. trump coaxed Gaetz back up front from closed room upon landing




I just spoke to Rep. Gaetz, who said he was put into a "closed up room" on AF1 after he found out he might have been exposed to Covid19.

After landing, Trump "coaxed" him up front before leaving.

"He was not hyper cautious about being in the same space that I was in."

I remember this from a Johnny Carson show when he read "facts" that all North Koreans believed about their leader, Kim Jong-IL:

1. Kim Jong-il had a supernatural birth

2. Kim Jong-il is a fashion icon

3. The world loved Kim Jong-il

4. Kim Jong-Il Invented The Hamburger

5. Kim Jong-il was a master golfer

6. Kim Jong-il never used a toilet

7. The Japanese stole time

8. Aids, Ebola, MERS And SARS are all easily curable

9. The Americans are b*******

10. There is no internet

)read the "details" here:
https://www.thecitizen.in/index.php/en/NewsDetail/index/6/5186/10-Myths-That-Are-Facts-In-North-Korea-Kim-Jong-IL-Invented-The-Hamburger)

Now tell me - who do we know that might be thinking about his own "legacy" in the same sort of way?

“Every one of these doctors said, 'How do you know so much about this?"
"The beauty of me is that I'm very rich."
"It's freezing and snowing in New York--we need global warming!"
"Our country is in serious trouble. We don't have any victories anymore. We used to have victories, but we don't have them. When was the last time anybody saw us beating, let's say China, in a trade deal? I beat China all the time. All the time."
"We have a 5 billion dollar website. I have so many websites. I have them all over the place... I hire people... it costs me three dollars."
"All of the women on The Apprentice flirted with me--consciously or unconsciously. That's to be expected."
"My Twitter has become so powerful that I can actually make my enemies tell the truth."
"I will be the greatest jobs president that God ever created."
"My fingers are long and beautiful, as, it has been well documented, are various other parts of my body."
"That makes me smart." — Trump on perhaps not paying federal income taxes
"I always told people, you know I'm a very smart guy. I got good marks. I was all this, I went to the best college: the Wharton School of finance, which to me is like the greatest business school."
"I’m speaking with myself, number one, because I have a very good brain and I’ve said a lot of things... I know what I’m doing and I listen to a lot of people, I talk to a lot of people and at the appropriate time I’ll tell you who the people are. But I speak to a lot of people. My primary consultant is myself, and I have, you know, I have a good instinct for this stuff."
"I'm not changing. I went to the best schools, I'm, like, a very smart person. I'm going to represent our country with dignity and very well. I don't want to change my personality -- it got me here."
"I’m, like, a smart person. I don’t have to be told the same thing in the same words every single day."
"Now, I know a lot about West Point. I’m a person that very strongly believes in academics. In fact, every time I say I had an uncle who was a great professor at MIT for 35 years who did a fantastic job in so many different ways, academically -- was an academic genius -- and then they say, 'Is Donald Trump an intellectual?' Trust me, I’m, like, a smart person."

So tell me - how can ANYONE just stand along the sidelines and not support invoking the 25th amendment?
