President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

If 2020 is a Democratic wave that flips the Senate, the first 100 days of the new term will be a fire drill to eradicate as much of Fuckboy as possible.

It'll be hilarious to hear the GOP scream after Fucko has spent four years pursuing the same policy wrt Obama.

Of course, as they're doing in all the state legislatures, Team Fucko will attempt to ram through all sorts of bullshit lame-duck gambits to make as much of the damage they're doing permanent as possible.

 

75 for everything. 65 for POTUS.

 

That will be hard to do without the House of Representatives.

Jared Kushner dismisses new accusations about his questionable security clearance

Whaaaaatsaaaaaappp

Presuming they keep the House.

It'll be Fuck Your Feelings time then.

 

If they don't keep the House, Trump's been re-elected anyway.

 

In which case it'll really be Fuck Your Feelings time.

 

I've written this here before numerous times, but Maggie Haberman had the perfect analysis of Trump -- so much of he says is designed to get the immediate heat off of back for what he has promised or said. That's why there are so many proclamations which are never followed up on or promises to announce something in "two weeks" or "very soon", by which time we are 20 other news items down the road.

Health care is a loser for him. Hell, it's a loser for anyone. We live way longer than estimated, costs are so high and so much of the economy is tied into the health care industry. Trump doesn't see nuance. He's a snake oil salesman who wants to leave town before people realize the con (here, in the way of other stories).

He over-promised to a ridiculous extent and simply can never propose a plan which will even come close to either working or being passed. Nor does he frankly have the brain power in his administration to come up with something which can be supported by objective facts or projections. So he does what he is best at -- blaming someone else.

So his only card to play is -- "It's the Democrats fault that my beautiful heath care plan was never passed. If you re-elect me and a GOP house, when you open your eyes in January 2021, the perfect plan will be in front of you." And pray that enough people will be fooled the second time.

 

The outrage - a foreign country like Puerto Rico taking from the United States.

I stand with the President! America first! No more aid to places like Puerto Rico!

 

Every time Trump brings up health care, one or more Republican members of Congress lose their lunch.
