President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

"I heard they had headaches."

Trump Dismisses Troops’ Possible Brain Injuries as ‘Headaches’

 

Almabot is unimpressed with your evidence. This thing you call "emotion" is not for Almabot.

 

The above dispute is a good example of how it's useless to examine Trump's words for meaning since he invariably contradicts himself within the same day, hour, or sentence. See this week, where he told CNBC "entitlements" should be cut then angrily cast himself as the defender of Social Security the next day. This of course all stemmed from Trump not knowing what "entitlements" mean in US political discourse.

 

Trump murders the second-most powerful man in Iran.

Iran responds by bombing our military base which, the Pentagon said, caused 34 head injuries.

Trump says they're not head injuries, no no no, that these soldiers of war just have headaches.

Now can you understand why we don't take mental (read: invisible) illness seriously?

We don't even take REAL head injuries seriously now.

 

Remember back in January 2011 when it was revealed that Obama was working with a couple of Egyptian sleazebags to "get rid of" a Bush holdover ambassador because she refused to go along with their scheme to get Hosni Mubarak to announce he was investigating Tagg Romney's advisory role to GASCO?

 

To which the first question any reporter should ask these senators is, “So if it wasn’t for the pike comment, you would have voted for more witnesses?”

To be followed by the GOP senators whining that the reporter is a libruhl hack, then running away to Faux Newz to boast that they pwned the libruhls.

Still, the question needs to be asked.

 

Fucking pentagon always trying to make things seem as worse as possible and trying to get sympathy for soldiers. Trump’s telling it like it really is, bumps and bruises and get back out there. Trump knows about combat injuries and bomb damage assessment. Experts in the pentagon and whiners in VFW are cowards.

 

My friends on the right have been playing this video non stop, but it can’t help but make me wonder when is the last time that anyone ever got close enough to trump to tell him off like that? I know there was the chorus of boos at the Nats game, but it appears he is shielded from reality. There are no videos of him interacting with people. He always is at a podium screaming to the masses.

Trump's already looking to duck any debates. He can't take confrontation. He can't even take vanilla interviews with network anchors without saying something harmful to himself. I mean, CNBC ain't exactly "Jacobin" magazine.

 

I try to point my empathy and emotion toward where I think it belongs. Showiness on the senate floor, press releases, Aaron Rupar and Tom Joseph and Daniel Dale don’t rate so much.
