President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Did you post that in a jiffy?

 

No. Actual quote:

“Since the very beginning, women have driven, and I mean, each generation of Americans, towards a more free and more prosperous future,” Trump said. “These patriots are women like the legendary Abigail Adams, right? Who, during the founding, urged her husband to remember the rights of women. She was very much a pioneer in that way. We’ve been blessed with courageous heroes like Harriet Tubman who escaped slavery. And went on to deliver hundreds of others to freedom, first in the underground railroad and then as a spy for the union army. She was very, very courageous, believe me. Around we’ve had leaders like Susan B. Anthony. Have you heard of Susan B. Anthony? I’m shocked that you’ve heard of her — who dreamed of a much more fair and equal future and an America where women themselves as she said helped to make laws and elect the lawmakers, and that’s what’s happening more and more.”

I'm glad I can believe Donald Trump that Harriet Tubman was very, very courageous. I wouldn't have though otherwise. Also, how the hell can he be shocked that women at an empowerment event would know who Susan B. Anthony is?

 

Who's Frederick Douglas?

 

Leaving a present for @doctorquant to find after Lent.

 

When he reads off a script it is very apparent how ignorant he is. He throws in those little comments, "I'm shocked that you have heard of her". What the hell does that even mean? He tries to make it sound like he has some understanding of the subject but it is clear he has none. I know, that was me during many reports in high school. Brutal.

 

Not reading is part of the liberal indocrtrination.

 

Who got cash?

Maybe Trump from Russian mobsters. (He should release his tax returns to prove he's not in debt to the Moscow mafia.) Manafort appears to have gotten quite a lot of cash from shady sources.

As for power, well, everybody in Trump's inner circle has more now than years ago. Obviously.

 

Anthony was just on a dollar coin, after all.

The amount of money that I would pay to watch Trump take a basic civics/US history test . . .

 

Would love to know it. I'm guessing some of it from Trumpists in the Congress might not be aligned with the Christian values their party claims it exclusively espouses.
