Trump Will End His Presidency as He Began It
October 21, 2020 at 11:13 am EDT By Taegan Goddard

George Will: “As the Donald Trump parenthesis in the republic’s history closes, he is opening the sluices on his reservoir of invectives and self-pity. A practitioner of crybaby conservatism — no one, he thinks, has suffered so much since Job lost his camels and acquired boils — and ever a weakling, Trump will end his presidency as he began it: whining.”

1. Well, that isn't how I want to see it end, but I surely want to see it end NOW!

[liberalla]

2. * * CRYBABY Conservatism * * Gotta use that! Great description !

5. Same here...that is gold...nt

3. It will be more of an ejector seat than an escalator

And I'm good with that.

9. What ever one's opinion of George Will, you must admit he has a way with words.

"...no one, he thinks, has suffered so much since Job lost his camels and acquired boils — and ever a weakling, Trump will end his presidency as he began it: whining.”

11. Yes, but don't miss Will's other little self-serving escape hatch

He calls it the "Trump parenthesis," as if it just dropped out of the sky and landed in our timeline, unconnected to any other events in Republican governance. An aberration, not an apotheosis.

[madaboutharry]

13. Yeah, he doesn't want to take responsibility

for the past 3 or 4 decades of republican bullshit.

21. George won't admit how much is enclosed by those parentheses

Those parentheses include, at least, from Atwater and Ailes to Murdoch and Trump. Metastasis of the Republican party and its root "conservatism" began with Newt. Trump the narcissistic opportunist jumped into the pus party that was already beyond cure. The propaganda machine built over the decades had become a juggernaut beyond the creators' control. Their candidates and voters became true believers in the cult, each trying to outdo the other in extremism and alt-reality.

Let us continue the surgical excising of the diseased GOP. The 2018 elections were just the opening cuts.

10. I thought he meant going down an escalator.......into Hell! nt

12. I still remember how back when Obama was president

right-wing media always referred to the GOP as "the adults in the room". So much for that!

[SeattleVet]

16. Perhaps we all misheard what they were saying...

and they were actually speaking of the adulterers in the room, which makes a LOT more sense, in context.

14. Oh, I'm sure Job's travails were nothing compared to being asked questions by an uppity reporter.

In Donny's mind.

15. I think George Will is one of the original "Never-Trumpers"

Am I right?

He's been hating on Chump for a very long time.

[Tommymac]

18. Will is one of the Architect's of the present Rethug Party.

His opinion pieces from the 1980's on have led the way for Murderous Movement Conservatism to flourish.

He has the blood of the Reagan, Both Bush's, and Trump administration covering his craven hands.

Fuck George Will - may his soul burn for eternity in Hell.

[FakeNoose]

20. Yes - I have no admiration for him

... but he was among the early Repukes to see how bad Chump was.

17. Kick

19. My God, what did they do to that child?

Strict upbringing leads to whining? I never do see the connection.
