I’ll repeat here what I said over on the blog: that speech last night was like a bizarre Twilight Zone parody. If in the middle of it Trump had screamed “WE HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR BUT FEAR ITSELF” then face-planted on the Resolute Desk as medics rushed into the frame from off-screen, it wouldn’t have seemed surprising. Our new timeline will be authored by the Coen brothers. We are so fucked.
I have to admit that I quite like Trump's speech last night. He somehow managed to deliver it while sounding exactly like a 5th grader reading his book report.
But the best part about it was that less than 20 minutes after Trump finished the speech, his press office was on the phone to all the media outlets to issue "corrections and amplifications" about the speech. For example, even though Trump SAID he was stopping cargo from Europe, what he MEANT was that cargo could continue to come from Europe. And even though what he SAID was that he was blocking flights from Europe, what he MEANT was that he was calling for extra screening for some people coming from some areas of Europe.
And thus it was that, by 10PM, stock market futures were in complete freefall. Because the very stable genius could not even manage a keynote live televised speech without being either dishonest or incorrect in every detail.
Well, he made it through the speech without collapsing in a paroxysm of coughing. Otherwise nothing he said was comforting. He went so far past gaslighting - hell, he extinguished the light, let the gas build up in the Oval Office, then struck a match and blew his credibility to Jupiter - that sentient vertebrates world wide lifted their heads and sniffed at the foul odor drifting from the nation’s capital.
Damn. All I’ve read so far are European nations except for the U.K. and Slovenia being blocked for 30 days (read 30 days in a Dr. Evil voice) and Peter Baker’s observation that the Don was unusually subdued whilst reading off a teleprompter which, however, is exactly how Donnie comes across whilst reading same (not that he needs a TP raising the question why he uses one) because baby doesn’t like doing that.
So what did I miss? What else did the Don say that we’re doing? Must be awesome since they’re shitty their pants and pantyhose on Wall Street.
But given Donnie’s huge desire to undo all things Obama, obviously shitting on the economy big time has to be his list, right?
But as usual, the people taking the biggest hit (in this case in the mafia sense of the word as well) will be the folks in the heartland who are, as they say, Republican leaning. Us socialist commies in elitist coastal soviets elect leaders who are, well, at least minimally capable — which is magnitudes beyond what Trump is capable of.
Hilarious. Kushner in his Hazmat suit is especially apt. He's such a wimp. I elected not to watch the Droner-in-Chief but am still at a loss about the UK exception. Does Trump think Brexit somehow made Britain germ free as well? They have lots of cases there.
So much information and expertise available and yet so much idiocy all the way down.
(KFC buckets and empty cups/bottles of Diet Coke. 'Cause he's *exactly* the kind of asshole who insists on Diet Coke even though KFC pours Pepsi products.)
