Trump, May 2017: 100 days of [unintelligible]

He can't easily deny things he admitted to on national television.

One day, Donald Trump is going to look a reporter straight in the eyes on national TV and say "I never ran for President."

NOW who's the sekrit mooslem

Wait, Trump is left-handed?

we get sharia in time for July 4

the knack now playing on internal jukebox

My parents saw Jeb! at the grocery store on Saturday; he'd lost a lot of weight.

was he working the till?

Please shop

Impeachments are always political first.

Did he seriously call the Manchester bomber(s) "evil losers?"

yeah

yeah he did

“We stand in absolute solidarity with the people of the United Kingdom,” Trump said. “So many young beautiful, innocent people living and enjoying their lives murdered by evil losers in life.

“I won’t call them monsters because they would like that term. They would think that’s a great name. I will call them, from now on, losers, because that’s what they are. They are losers. And we will have more of them. But they are losers, just remember that.

“Our society can have no tolerance for this continuation of bloodshed, we cannot stand a moment longer for the slaughter of innocent people. And in today’s attack it was mostly innocent children. The terrorists and extremists and those who give them aid and comfort must be driven out from our society for ever.

“This wicked ideology must be obliterated – and I mean completely obliterated – and the innocent life must be protected. All civilised nations must join together to protect human life and the sacred right our citizens to live in safety and in peace.”

PRESIDENTIAL

saw someone on twitter say that he misread "evildoers" as "evil losers" but who even knows anymore

funny how the phrase 'radical islamic terror' did not escape his lips, tho

that seems like the kindest interpretation possible xp

i mean, he's not wrong about them being losers but of course Trump would frame it that way because that's how he views the entire universe.

"Until we start calling them what they are "radical islamic jerkbabies" we're never going to win"

nice linguistic kill shot

What can I say, it takes one to know one.

Kind of surprised he hasn't suggested making a deal with them.

i dunno how you could reasonably frame attackers who achieved their presumable goal of killing people and spreading fear as 'losers' in anything but the most existential of senses but whatever

Trump taking aim at them where it hurts: their self esteem.

losers = any people unable to make deals in the world of trading. You know, arms, etc.

The idea being, maybe, if you trade in arms with someone, then they won't shoot you.

The terrorists and extremists and those who give them aid and comfort must be driven out from our society for ever.

*coughsaudiarabiacough*

yeah this is kinda awkward timing huh

losers = any people unable to make deals in the world of trading

these guys built their own bombs, i'm surprised he's not offering them accolades on their self-starting attitude and innovative spirit

There's time yet..

Trump taking aim at them where it hurts: their self esteem.

Is there anything particularly wrong with this? No rhetoric is going to be remotely useful but it's probably better to call them dorky failures than use the kind of grandiose hyping up of 'evildoers' that Bush kept engaging in.

it might have a bit more rhetorical heft if he wasn't painting terrorists with the same brush he used on marco rubio

trump's message in the yad vashem book of remembrance

in a supermarket aisle somewhere in florida jeb! is enduring a flashback to the republican debates

aw the periods in his exclamation points are bubbles!

Trump calls terrorists "losers," a term he also used to describe Rosie O'Donnell, Karl Rove, Mark Cuban, and a lot of other ppl he hates

trump's mixing of upper and lowercase letters there is making me irrationally angry, over and above the usual horror at his signature which contains at least four extra letters

only psychopaths swap from upper to lower case throughout a sentence, right? xps

Trump wrote the same thing in my yearbook

their first try - 'have a great summer!' - was tactfully replaced at kushner's suggestion

Obv there's a massive mental health issue too but I'm with SV on this

could this be the first presidency where tweet is evidence of treason?

If Trump told Comey to stop investigating FLynn and he didn't and then he fired Comey - how is this not obstruction of justice?

no a tweet was evidence of treason for andrew johnson

save the 'dorky failure' rhetoric for the idiots who end up painting their bedsit walls with their innards when their bombs go off prematurely rather than those who manage to kill and/or injure close to 100 people imo

glad violet jynx is here to keep us focused on the big issues of a couple of weeks ago

TBF, 'loser' is probably as close to the mark as you can hope to get when you're in possession of a 250-word vocabulary.

time is irrelevant

ffs it's 'time is an illusion'
