Yes, his behavior is much easier to parse through the lens of middle school. Twelve-year-olds will play back behaviors at random, and persist in what gets a result (usually attention). It’s not clever, and it’s often self-defeating, but it can make them surprisingly effective opponents. Mostly because they don’t know what they want out of it, which makes them hard to negotiate with. They’re also good at finding things adults can’t talk honestly about, like sex or white identity politics, and pushing those buttons to get a reaction.
When you consider Turmp strictly in those terms, it all makes a ton of profoundly sad (but loathsome) sense.
It was probably made from crappy plywood that some huckster claimed was from the Resolute. Plywood that was purchased by one of three different groups of sycophants who were bidding against each other, driving up the price, before one of them won it and then marked it up 10x for his own profit. Then he got a mobbed up carpenter who overcharged him and he marked THAT up by 10. So it’s not only a crappy plywood table, it’s a VERY expensive crappy plywood table, with all sorts of grifters taking a cut between the plywood mill and the final product.
Exactly. He’s marginally more self-aware than my cats.
And my cats are adorable. Although I’m beginning to think one of them is a troll; we’re trying to get her to stop hiding under the bed and swatting at our feet when we walk by. My fear is that she’s posting on 4chan at night.
Don’t ever speak of the President like that.
There is a simple explanation. He is actually working up the act that he’ll be taking on the road (or on the lam, as we say in showbiz circles). He will perform with only a folding table and a seal. I hope they let him take his tiny desk to the Big House.
Just because Lord Dampnut will (hopefully) no longer be in office after that time, doesn’t mean he will no longer be engaging in vandalism, treachery and theft; and the majority of his minions (GOPers) will still be in office, as well as embedded in various layers of the beauracracy. It will take a long time to root them all out (if ever)… and he will also have several tens of MILLIONS of pissed-off worshippers ready to do his bidding.
Most of 'em are all hat & no cattle, but a bunch of 'em aren’t.
Just because there will be a flood of his GOP enablers renouncing their allegience to Lord Dampnut doesn’t mean they should be believed. Or trusted. Or forgiven.
As proved above, it’s the same table they always use. All of you talking about that makes me wonder what, exactly, was in the four orders he signed that needed so much misdirection.
No reason to give him credit for good or ill because of people’s inherent need to have a laugh during stressful times. It’s an awkward photo and probably reflects nothing but a general “don’t give a shit” attitude in the photographers and people planning the scene. He’s trying to start a war with Iran though. There’s not even any need to misdirect anymore I think. He is currently doing the worst he can loud and proud.
