President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

This isn’t a “both sides” thing

 

Remember that time a president, who is married to an immigrant, gave a prime-time Oval Office address railing against immigrants in front of a photo of his mother who was an immigrant?

Yet privately, Mr. Trump dismissed his own new strategy as pointless. In an off-the-record lunch with television anchors hours before the address, he made clear in blunt terms that he was not inclined to give the speech or go to Texas, but was talked into it by advisers, according to two people briefed on the discussion who asked not to be identified sharing details.

“It’s not going to change a damn thing, but I’m still doing it,” Mr. Trump said of the trip to the border, according to one of the people, who was in the room. The border trip was just a photo opportunity, he said. “But,” he added, gesturing at his communications aides, Bill Shine, Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Kellyanne Conway, “these people behind you say it’s worth it.”

 

If you're a self-respecting professional, how could you put up with your boss humiliating you like that in such a public forum? These people boggle my mind.

When Trump discovers tomorrow just how badly his “ratings” are over this thing, this stunt he pulled tonight, I wouldn’t be a bit surprised he then declares the national emergency

 

Not claiming that it is. Republicans are too big of pussies to stand up to him. The Dems shouldn't cave. They won't. It's all such bullshit.
