Are the Trump syncophants like Mnuchin who said this morning “When the president gets attacked, he hits back”. That talking point must have been handed down from trump cause we’ve heard the same BS line for no less than six staff members. Mayor Cruz made an impassioned plea for help for her people...she’s been trying to highlight the on the ground suffering and yet somehow that’s supposed to equate attacking the President? No...this thin skinned so called President is terrified of the blowback from lack of responsiveness and he and his minions are doing their best to silence this strong, incredible brave woman. It’s disgusting

How about treat others the way you'd like to be treated? Oh, wait. I forgot this is trump we're talking about here. His strategy is always to hit back....ten times harder. Great lesson for all of us, eh? Pretty soon everybody is hitting everyone else. Whoever we disagree with, we just smack 'em hard. Voila! Chaos. Isn't this what he likes? What a great distraction and no one has to think that maybe that person we're being told to smack had a point. And while we're busy squabbling among ourselves about some slight or inconsequential issue, he is busy looting the treasury, doing away with things that matter and pulling the wool over a lot of eyes.

Do not be fooled. Do not take your eyes off the ball. He is conning us left and right in more ways than one. Part of this is because he is a pathetically thin skinned ass hole. But it IS a strategy to divide us and conquor while we're not keeping up with his conjob. If he is luring you in with subjects that make your blood boil, that is a sign to beware! His devious mind is at work and his goal is to turn us against each other. All the better to destroy us from within. Do not make it easy for him. Do not fight each other. Fight him. Pay attention. This is not a drill.
