Today or tomorrow? And exactly how many weeks ago were they KIA?



When reporters followed up on Trump’s claim that Obama never made those difficult phone calls, Trump responded “President Obama, I think, probably did sometimes, and maybe sometimes he didn't, I don't know, that's what I was told.”

For context: Trump was golfing on the day the body of one of the soldiers killed in Niger returned to Dover

"the check is in the mail". Wonder if he ever actually donated the million bucks to Harvey relief? Actually I don't, he probably lied about that too. He is one sick fuck.

He puts the blame on "that's what I was told". Always someone else.

The Worst Person In the World.

9. Any other American politician would be roasted in the media

But for some odd reason, the media just accept the excuse and that's the end of it. If anyone is so churlish as to follow up on Trump's empty promise, the millionaire gatekeepers just stare real hard at the tips of their shoes and pretend they don't hear anything.

"You have sacrificed nothing and no one!"

The Republican party is complicit in the destruction of America. Fuck every last one of them. And he never did actually say what he really did.

14. There is something not quite right in the language, more than his usual superlatives

"a lot of 'em....most of 'em"

"I think, probably sometimes he did.... maybe sometimes he didn't...I don't know"

He can and will never admit to being wrong or getting caught in a lie or making a mistake

But I think you are right, he is confused and his mind is wandering and is worried about being caught out of his league

My father was that way in the early stages of his dementia
