Less than 100 days and counting... (Trump thread #103)

[Roussette]

Here we go...

Trump probably doesn't even know which end milk comes from. I'm amazed that any farmer (dairy or otherwise) could believe he's a good choice. (But then I thought that about Boris Johnson... 🤷‍♀️)

How Suffering Farmers May Determine Trump’s Fate.
As rural Wisconsin’s fortunes have declined, its political importance has grown.

" Last week, in signing an executive order expanding virtual health services, Trump indicated that he would be fighting for rural voters. “We take care of rural America,” he said."

Some light relief. A Bad Lip Reading version of the axios Swann interview with Trump

(the real thing is nearly as bonkers)

Thank you Bruce that lip reading video is sublime!

I've now watched this bad lip reading State of the Union one which is even better! (I'm hooked )

Bruce I've just tweeted this and if I get a ban it's down to you!

He has another of his 'press conferences' from his golf club in Bedminster.
Another rally call to his cult followers then...

Go Marge!

I like the Nancy.

I love bad lip reading! It's hilarious! I'll have to watch the SotU one when I get a mo.

The State of the Union one is excellent mainly for the "conversation" between Pence and Pelosi

Trump's brother has passed away.

Apparently he was one of his "best friends". I'd think only friend. Unless he's counting his children.

I wonder if he'll feel even more isolated and ranty.

Robert Trump sensibly did what Donald told him to, and thus got called "friend".

His tweet and what he said about his brother soounded like any normal person would be, just so not used to him wording something properly and it sounding like he means it. First time I've known it with him, that I've seen.

In order to form friendships you need to be able to see others as equals
Trump is unable to do that, he divides everyone into two camps
1- subordinates who must be dominated so that they stay in their inferior position
2- those who are more powerful than him who must be crushed and subordinated

Anyone else thinks he died of covid?

The causes are not being shared, which I think is a bit unusual.

"President Trump: "Universal mail-in voting is going to be catastrophic -- it's going to make our country a laughing stock all over the world.""

Yeah, well, that was November 9 2016 and it hasn't stopped.

'Trump warns presidential election result may not be known for 'years,' as allegations grow he's undermining the USPS to rig the election

He wished...

Trump is attacking the 2020 US election – and saying so out loud.

I'm not sure he died of covid, in that I read somewhere he had had a fall and a brain bleed or something.

I don't think the DT would have visited him if he had covid! Far too infection-shy.

The World Service said he had a bleed in his brain; no idea where they got that information.

Recent news say a fall that caused a bleed in the brain.
Who knows? It does seem sudden.

Meanwhile, Trump seems open to pardoning Snowden. I wonder if Putin got fed up of him. Or if he thinks it may sway voters. It sounds like a suggestion to see how voters react, a bit like suggesting the wall in the first place.

"Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, a Trump donor appointed to the role in May, who has introduced a series of controversial reforms critics say have reduced the service's capacity to process and deliver mail in a timely way."

I wish they would call them what they are, changes, and not imply they are in any way an improvement by calling them reforms.
