Priorities
On Thursday morning, June 29, 2017; Donald Trump awoke in the White House. Just some of the issues facing our nation included:
"Fixing" the Affordable Care Act
Changing the tax code to try to boost the economy
Mass shootings
MS-13
The Travel Ban
and many more
So what did the Cheeto-in-Chief do first thing? Got on Twitter and launched a tirade against the hosts of MSNBC's Morning Joe. As always, whenever someone says anything about him that is less than flattering, 45 assigned labels to the hosts. Joe Scarborough was called "Psycho Joe" while Mika Brzezinski had her intelligence and sanity questioned. He tagged her as "Low IQ Crazy Mika."
Now if we were to line up Donald Trump, Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski side by side, the only one of the three whose intellect and sanity should be called into question would be the one who is the current occupant of the Oval Office. Does Mr. Trump know that Ms Brzezinski is a visiting fellow at the Harvard Institute of Politics at the university's Kennedy School of Government? You don't land that kind of position when your IQ is "low."
What triggered this tirade? Since Trump says he doesn't watch their show someone else must have been watching. That someone was his Social Media Director, Dan Scavino, Jr. He apparently was watching Morning Joe when he heard and saw Ms Brzezinski say:
"Nothing makes a man feel better than making a fake cover of a magazine about himself, lying every day, and destroying the country."
The show was talking about the fake Time magazine covers that hang in the hallways of various properties owned by the Liar-in-Chief.
Why is it that with all of the major issues facing the Liar-in-Chief, his focus on a workday would be attacking people in the media? I see two major reasons.
1. It distracts from his inability to carry out the promises he made on the campaign trail. Right now the Republican majority in the Senate is flailing and failing in their attempt to pass a healthcare bill. 45 said it would happen quickly and right now it just is not happening.
2. It is the standard communication mode for Trump and has been for a long time. I call it Trump's Bs of Communication:
Baffle
Belittle
Blind the audience
Bluster
Boo whatever the other do
Bullshit
As a distraction, his method has been wildly successful since he threw his toupee into the ring to seek the Republican nomination. Anytime something is transpiring that is less than favorable for Agent Orange, he presses the "Distract" button.
As for the six Bs of Trump Talk, he's been using that method for so very long, he may be incapable of changing how he communicates. He talked about a "pivot" but he probably can't make that move.
This piss-poor excuse for a politician is now the face of our nation. The rest of the world is laughing and pitying us all at once. No other world leader sends out these kinds of tweets. There are a few leaders in history who have been as buffoonish as the blustering bullshit artist we call Donald Trump. None of them had any interest in the people they governed. Neither does he. 45 cares only about himself. His fragile ego demonstrates this clearly.
Edit: He doubled down today with another shot at Morning Joe. Why is that more important than leading the nation? Sad!!
