Mission accomplished for Trump. Once again, he has managed to reiterate some of his core messages:
- the world, government, the economy and America is a shit-hole
- it’s all Obama’s fault
- it’s all Clinton’s fault
- I won the election with more votes than any one ever
- Only I can save the world
- saving the world is hard, stressful work
- What Flynn did may have been illegal, but that is bullshit anyway: it was the smart thing to do
- the media hates me and everything they say about me is a lie
- the illegality of leaks automatically disqualifies them from being seriously considered as Truth
Yes, it was a president “on the ropes”, playing vicious defense. But it showed that he is not going to back down.
The fact that he did so in such a way as to annoy all of us who don’t support him…and I am annoyed --does ever come to a point? Does he ever say anything of subtance, beyond his core messages, which have hardly changed since last summer? Well, who cares? Not him.,His messages got through and the basic stock of his base will repeat him on memes all over Facebook. He just needs to keep their support and he is free to do whatever he wants.
He is literally creating two different America: an America that literally sees rain on the 20th of January…and an America who literally sees sunny skies.
We can talk until we’re blue in the face about his bad English. It doesn’t matter to the people who keep him in power.
When they are throwing us in the camps, are we still going to be patting each other on the back, self-assured that his obvious malapropisms/idiocy/lunacy/gracelessness will bring him down in the end?
