@xeni posted this on Twitter, I’m watching it and it is very illuminating. The focus is mostly on Trump’s White House and Russian shenanigans.
This is two days old, so it might be badly out of date:
Three months from now: “I love all people, so yes I still ‘love’ the President.”
Math: The Inconvenient Truth
How is any of that a Trumpian event?
Well I thought it is (obviously, since I posted it), but you must think it’s not. You’re probably not asking out of academic curiosity but rather to challenge its place, right?
Mere curiosity, not even academic. I’m just wondering if it’s worth clicking through. Twould be nice to have some indication of why along with the links to help one decide.
To be fair, everything is a Trumpian event, since the universe revolves around him.
No change there.
Bragging:
Bullying:
Lying/Pandering:
Trying his damndest to go to jail:
The T has always been invisible
In this case, the LGB is too.
What a bigoted and ignorant asshole. Great medical expense? Does he think every potential TG service member is going to want to undergo SRS the minute they join the military? Is ongoing hormone therapy that much of a drain on the military budget? (Spoiler: it’s not.)
This is just Trump showing yet again he doesn’t give a fuck about the LGBT community.
These arguments (especially the disruption one) are the exact same things people tried to spout when trying to keep women and gays out of the military and they are just as dumb now as they were then.
Trump aside: LGBT means Love Great Big Turmpfingers, right?
Complete and utter bullshit decision for his base with NO basis in fact.
Stupid is paying off big time for 45.
The T is apparently silent.
I feel so sad right now for a trans friend in service. He deserves so much better.
ETA: No wait, not sad, fucking angry, fucking set things on fire pissed.
