British Writer Pens The Best Description Of Trump I’ve Read
“A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.
Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever. I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman. But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty.
Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers. And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness.”
This is well-done:
Donald Trump indicted over classified documents case
“Former US President Donald Trump has been charged over his handling of classified documents after he left the White House.
Mr Trump, 76, faces seven charges including unauthorised retention of classified files, US media reported. The charges are not yet public.
It is the second indictment of Mr Trump and the first ever federal indictment of a former president.”
September 21, 2022 will be a day Donald Trump will always remember
Trump’s Day started with:
Then this happened:
Trump suffers setback as appeals panel rejects Cannon ruling
“A three-judge appeals court panel has granted the Justice Department’s request to block aspects of U.S. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon’s ruling that delayed a criminal investigation into highly sensitive documents seized from former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate.
The panel ruled that Cannon, a Trump appointee, erred when she temporarily prevented federal prosecutors from using the roughly 100 documents — marked as classified – recovered from Trump’s estate as part of a criminal inquiry.”

How historians view Trump – and how Trump sees himself
“”I don’t think that a presidency that ends without a peaceful transfer of power can be considered anything other than a failure, because of Donald Trump’s culpability in that moment,” she replied.
But Mr. Trump still has strong influence in the Republican Party, while teasing a possible White House run in 2024. Nevertheless, the historians “Sunday Morning” spoke to, along with those in a recent C-Span survey, predict that in the long run, Donald J. Trump will be relegated to the bottom tier of American presidents.
As Jeffrey Engel said, “Donald Trump has a unique distinction – it’s the only president who refused to honor democracy. Stop and think about that sentence: It makes my mouth say, How can you say these words? And yet, I don’t think they’re wrong.””
“Hemmer said not all presidents tell the truth all the time, but this one had a singular strategy:
“It is about lying as a test of loyalty,” she said. “Everyone can see that the crowd size is smaller. But if you are a Trump supporter, you will have to side with him. And that’s a very different use of lies.””
“Chowkwanyuan said that despite Mr. Trump’s claims, he failed the country in major ways, including “on the rhetorical stage, where a president gets to use the pulpit. He instead used it to flout scientific expertise.””
“And with the country reeling from COVID, Mr. Trump lost his bid for re-election. That’s when he started down the path that historians say ultimately led to the other defining moment of his presidency: insurrection and assault on the U.S. Capitol, as his followers responded to his repeated false claims of fraud, believing what’s come to be known as the “Big Lie.” “That was a rigged election,” Mr. Trump said last January, “but we’re still fighting it.””
“Engel said, “This was a president who did not like the results of an election, did not like the fact that he was being voted out, and decided that his personal interests were more important than the constitutional process.””
TRUMP REVOLUTION
“In four years, America, under President Donald J. Trump, has undergone a historic transformation—one which has and will affect us all, Democrats and Republicans alike, for generations. From foreign relations, the environment, local schools, and the federal courts to voter registration and immigration—every corner of America has been reconfigured. The Bronx Documentary Center’s Trump Revolution exhibition series has compiled text, photos, and multimedia to examine the speed, reach, and consequences of a societal transformation unmatched in American history.”

November 8, 2016:
A solid Republican candidacy from someone such as Kasich would have kept Limbaugh quiet. The takeover by the real estate mogul, which has fractured the Republican Party, motivated Limbaugh to action.
“Trump’s not a Republican. Trump’s just an idiot wanting to be president. And I don’t want an idiot to be my president,” he says. “Basically, I just wanted to let people know there’s another answer out there. I’m just trying to educate people.”
Limbaugh says he’s also weary of lies on Facebook and Twitter about the candidates and spends hours every night playing “whack-a-mole” to let his friends know the truth.

The Quiz
When Trump won the GOP nomination I tweeted and facebooked and told my friends that the Party of Lincoln will become the Party of George Wallace:
The Real Problem With Trump’s Rallies
But the second I saw the “Go Back To….” tweet, growing up in Alabama in the 1960s, I realized that was not going to be an option. Donald Trump, with those tweets and his rally crowd chanting “Send Her Back!” and then the now constant attacks of “The Squad” told me one thing – 2020 is not going to be about policy (GOP lied in 2016 about balancing the budget and term limits). Trump decided to make 2020 a Get Out the Vote effort of Ugly vs Good, Hate vs Love, Bigotry vs Compassion.
I CHOOSE LOVE!
When I created my Limbaugh2020.com website and my Limbaugh2020 twitter account I promised myself to only talk about myself. Never mention Donald Trump or the GOP or the Democratic Party.
Run a Positive Campaign of my hopes, dreams, plans and goals.
I was doing a great job of that until I saw Donald Trump tweet this:
And then saw this:
Every word he said was a LIE! This meme is scary!
What is more terrifying is the GOP, Trump and his supporters saying these things!
This is Nativism Right out of the Know Nothing Party Platform!
I created my now defunct Limbaugh2016.com and Limbaugh2016 twitter account the day Cruz and Kasich dropped out of the GOP primaries and the first day I could do it I went and picked up Presidential Ballot petitions.
I told friends that Trump was going to win by energizing three voting blocs.
1) WALL!!! And Mexico will Pay For It! Got Trump the Xenophobic Bigots Vote
2) SCOTUS! Got Trump the Evangelical Vote
3) “Lock Her Up” and just “Not Her!” got him the Bush, Clinton, Bush. Clintoned OUT vote.
The Election Came Down to 77,744 Votes in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan (Updated)
I told all of my friends during the campaign how terrible Trump is. I have known how terrible Trump is for years.
I told all of my friends how much Trump lies
He was lying to Coal Miners and
Everything he promised was a lie, from golf to term limits.
