'Nobody likes me,' Trump complains, as even his allies fade
CNN ^ | 1 August 2020 | Kevin Liptak

"Nobody likes me," he said, confounded at how his administration's health experts could be receiving accolades while he is accused of ignoring and denying the raging public health crisis. "It can only be my personality," Trump said, "that's all."

That's one answer.

SNIP

Trump's attempts to regain standing have only exacerbated the divorce and led to worries he is weighing down his party's ability to move forward. Long dismissive of the Washington establishment, Trump has shown little concern at how his moves are forcing allies into awkward positions or alienating himself from longstanding norms.

"I read it. I laughed. I thought my gosh this is going to consume a lot of people," said GOP Sen. Kevin Cramer. "I long ago stop being surprised by the things he does that other presidents wouldn't have done, but I also understand why he does it and why his base enjoys it so much."

I studied Seneca back in the 70’s.
I don’t recall that quote but it’s a keeper.

Message to Trump: STOP FIGHTING BACK, and roll over like an obedient, whipped dog.

Love, Jake

Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak. If your enemy is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is in superior strength, evade him. If your opponent is temperamental, seek to irritate him.

Sun Tsu

Saying “Nobody likes me...” encourages the hidden NeverTrumpers to come out and say something stupid on camera or in a social media post, where it is archived FOREVER.

Trolling, trolling, trolling....

A little weekend creative writing

Pathetic Propagandistic Pandemic Perpetual Pointless Production from the Prince of Political Putas. A whole lot of P.

I apologize for the last word, but needed the "P".

If it wasn’t for the naked and exposed lying media the nobody’s would surely be nobody.

I heard that conversation that fake news CNN is referring to and it was obviously said in jest. CNN and the rest of the lame stream media will have a lot of explaining to do after Trump wins in November.

Fake News can’t even fake new stories anymore. They are dusting off stories from 2016 now.

So stupid. I don’t have to like my president. I just need for him to do his darn job.

I didn’t like my wife’s orthopedic surgeon. He was an arrogant ass, but a damn find surgeon.

Tell me which is more important...

Reporting is easy if you have a vivid imagination and totally make stuff up, because no other reporter will be discordant wuth what you pass off as factual news.

No one must like him because no one attends his rallies.
Wait!! There are no more rallies anymore due to covid-19.
But Dems call it the Trump virus. So it’s got to be all his own doing.
Oh, it’s all so confusing...

He is as close to one of us as anyone else in that rotten hole DC....

Ain’t that the truth. I never expected a Manhattan Billionaire to know what is better for Texas than a Midland Oilman.

However, #45 belongs on Mount Rushmore while #43 will be forgotten in the pages of time.
