Once again, Donald Trump insulted the very people that he is supposed to be working for. Earlier today, Trump topped off his disastrous third week in the White House by attacking everyone who opposed his completely inhumane, disastrous Muslim ban.
At a law enforcement conference in Washington, Trump whined and complained that it was a sad day because he was facing resistance to his terrifying desire to ban certain groups from coming into the United States. Claiming that the legislation giving him the authority to do so couldnt have been more straightforward, Trump began his temper tantrum by reading the Immigration and Nationality Act to everyone in the room to make sure every person knew that the POTUS has the authority to prevent people from coming into the country. Trump defended his disgusting executive order by saying this:
Its sad, I think its a sad day. I think our security is at risk today. And it will be at risk until such time as we are entitled and get what we are entitled to as citizens of this country. It was done for the security of our nation. The security of our citizens. So that people come in who arent going to do us harm. And thats why it was done. And it couldnt have been written any more precisely. Its not like oh gee, we wish it were written better. Its written beautifully.
Trump has been throwing this fit for a week now, ever since his travel ban was temporarily blocked by a federal judge. Of course, no Trump meltdown is complete without some insults, so he decided to mock the intelligence of every American resisting his racist policies. Claiming that even a bad student in high school could understand the terms in his executive order, Trump bragged about how great his ban was:

This is a trend with Trump now. Hes issued so many anti-American statements since beginning his role in the White House that its becoming clear that he has no intention of working for the American people. Trump works for white supremacist Steve Bannon and the spineless Republican Party now, and he doesnt care what the majority of Americans do or dont want and he will bully and taunt them if they dont fall in line.

Point taken anyway. We are here to vent among likeminded people.
Eliot Rosewater
(31,109 posts)I watched AND STILL AM various areas of the internet, social media, people who claim to be liberals who would not stop bashing Hillary.
I cant get over they did this and many of them are still doing it, threatening 2018 and so on.
I dont think people who voted 3rd party understand a 2 party system and if we dont address this now, not later, we will see Senate seats challenged by them, and if they lose the challenge and the dipshits like Manchin end up being the candidate, they seem to be saying already they wont vote for him.
At this point, until and unless we grow a version of Fuckface Von Pussygrabber (highly unlikely), every living Democratic candidate no matter how bad is better than any republican.
Straight jacket and put in a padded cell for life. Well the racist GOP sure showed us that their whiteness is far more important than our country and her future.
NoGoodNamesLeft
(2,056 posts)He's going to sink into all out melt down vindictive psycho mode and the GOP is going to own it. If they had even one testicle between all of the Republican party they'd impeach his ass but they are all sac-less wonders.
slumcamper
(1,606 posts)Don't forget those GOP women in Congress--McMorris-Rodgers in the House, Ernst in the Senate, for example...lacking testicles but willingly serving as convenient props and smiling showpieces for the misogynists who seek to tear down the state and see it whither on the vine.
This extremism and the complicity of the GOP Congress is not about testicular fortitude. It's about sharing a radical, antigovernment, white nationalist, libertarian agenda with the directive and financial aid and comfort of private oligarchs.
A meltdown by The Orange One will be dealt with summarily by the theocratic shill-in-waiting.

The 9th circuit is set to rule any minute, I hope he is UNHAPPY.
Get out the brain meds.

What he should be doing is paying attention on all levels instead of obsessing about Ivanka.

(61,695 posts)wanted to do, then go back to hosting his stupid show, where he will constantly remind his devoted viewers how popular and successful he was as president.

(7,528 posts)Of course he's allowed to issue an executive order, but the judiciary is also allowed to review it and knock it down if it violates the Constitution or law!
gratuitous
(82,849 posts)Looking over his public statements, President Trump has trashed working Americans, veterans, military service members, elected officials of both parties, the media, and now he's sworn a vendetta against anyone who questions or opposes his diktats. About the only person Trump hasn't ripped on is Vladimir Putin.

(10,893 posts)I said about him a while ago. He's worse than just being a real-life Eric Cartman; he is absolutely cuckoo. No wonder why people like Alex Jones like him so much.

(83,751 posts)He is not qualified to be a member of the human race much less lead it. Yes he is in good company.

(10,828 posts)Trump only cares about 'winning,' not about what's right or wrong. This is about dominance in all things, and when he doesn't get his way? Temper tantrum.
I'm relieved that the court threw this EO back in Trump's face. It means the American court system will be/can be our bulwark against the Fascist-in-Chief and his bully-boy friends. Good to know that the Law, as in Constitutional Law, still has its fierce defenders.

(49,001 posts)He wants to maximize the adulation he receives and maximize his and Ivanka's income.
For that he willingly became a puppet of Bannon and Putin. Well, time will tell if he was willing or not with regard to Putin, since there are allegations of indebtedness to Russian oligarchs that Putin favors as well as potential blackmail material in Russian hands.
Grammy23
(5,810 posts)His illness is being played out on the world stage for all to see. His handlers will try to keep things under control in the White House, but that won't be enough. Any time he gets a microphone or gets his grubby paws on his phone, he will be sure we all know the depth of his anger. Seething. Look out...he's gonna blow!
This is going to be a sh*t storm like we've never seen. Stay tuned.....

jmowreader
(50,557 posts)Isn't that something like 225 million people? Hopefully he's attacking them as a group rather than individually..."President Trump forced to resign because he wore his tiny thumbs down to the knuckle" is not a headline I look forward to seeing.

AgadorSparticus
(7,963 posts)To it Like I just want to slap him. Not that I would, but seeing his face disgusts me.
To stop him means we need to stop the Republicans. We need to rise up now and work like hell for 2018.

(30,247 posts)The Moose-Lambs are coming, the Moose-Lambs are coming, run for cover!!!! Chicken Little Trump should stop listening to Bannon, he's a toxic influence.
bigtree
(85,996 posts)...amazing, really, when all he has to do is modify, moderate his order.
sheshe2
(83,751 posts)He will also never moderate or modify. He and Bannon want their extremist white supremacy policies, nothing else will do. We need to fight them every step of the way.
Persist. Resist.
