TRUMP MELTS DOWN, TRASHES EVERY AMERICAN WHO IS AGAINST HIS MUSLIM BAN (DETAILS)



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 couldn’t 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:


It’s sad, I think it’s 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 aren’t going to do us harm. And that’s why it was done. And it couldn’t have been written any more precisely. It’s not like ‘oh gee, we wish it were written better.’ It’s 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:

snip

This is a trend with Trump now. He’s issued so many anti-American statements since beginning his role in the White House that it’s 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 doesn’t care what the majority of Americans do or don’t want – and he will bully and taunt them if they don’t fall in line.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.....

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.
