Trump the Chump (Part 1)

I just watched this Lewis Black standup from late 2016. Part of it was devoted to how he was basically out of work because literally anyone could make Trump jokes. You just go read the headlines and wait for the laugh. His thing, he said, has always been to be crazier than what people see in their lives, and that is no longer possible.

I just posted this in the other Trump thread. What in the hell? When was the strength of our military ever in question?

It will include an historic increase in defense spending to rebuild the depleted military of the United States.

Depleted?!?

Maybe they’re turning uranium ammunition back into nukes.

Given his “concerns” about our nuclear arsenal, I wouldn’t be surprised.

Bilden said he determined that he would not be able to satisfy the Office of Government Ethics requirements without what he called “undue disruption and materially adverse divestment of my family’s private financial interests.”

Trump couldn’t have picked someone more dedicated to public service!

I mean, I don’t actually want to give Bilden a hard time about this. It’s okay to not be deeply committed to public service, it’s okay to not want to take a government job when it will cost you money, and what makes it okay is saying that upfront and turning the job down. It sure reflects badly on the people who thought he was a good choice, though.

“This was a mission that was started before I got here,” Trump said. “This was something they wanted to do. They came to me, they explained what they wanted to do—the generals—who are very respected, my generals are the most respected that we’ve had in many decades, I believe. And they lost Ryan… This was something that they were looking at for a long time doing, and according to [Defense Secretary James] Mattis it was a very successful mission. They got tremendous amounts of information.”

Remember when Obama was accused of being the campaigner-in-chief?

Oh wait, he is still campaigning and is fueling Soros’ fake protests against Trump:
