Also, isn’t that exactly how Trump governs, or “governs” I should say?

Talk about getting Ratio’d. You know you’ve said something dumb when the favorites come out 471-11 in favor of a reply. Well done.

And still in that interview with Robin Roberts, he spoke weepingly of all reasons false reporting is so terrible. So, he knew the damage he was doing.

I still don’t really understand how the narrative took a turn to “we were all mistaken, these kids did nothing wrong.” It seemed to have something to do with another group shouting at them before the video and that meant their reaction was totally cool? Anyway, they should have walked away with that win and counted…

I think people are telling him it would be a disaster if he declared an emergency, but he’s champing at the bit to exercise his magic unilateral powers. So, instead he’s bragging about the breadth of power that he holds, and is asking us to gaze in wonder at his benevolent dictatorial restraint.

How to help/intervene/deescalate is a tough call to make. Certainly, something should be done by bystanders to help, at least call the police, get a licence plate number, whatever.

“I’ve always liked—I like Roger, he’s a character,” Trump said. He called the FBI raid of Stone’s house “a very sad thing for this country.”

This is awful and only contributes to the shame around sexual assault for men. Also, Crews has also said that he felt his size and blackness complicated his ability to respond more forcefully to the assault. 

I think it’s just a reference to the movie A Star is Born— Cooper’s character plucked hers from obscurity, calling her out from the wings to perform this very song. But yeah, I agree that the original concept from the movie is patronizing.

Resting douche face.

Yep. And the expression on his face at the time reinforced everything we know the hat to mean. 

I know. This is the grossest take out to order hours in advance. 

Have you seen this interview he gave isn’t Michael Strachan?

Oh, and then there was also “I said, ‘Well, if we go back and everything is peachy dory and you say we’ll talk over thirty days, at the end of the thirty days are you going to give us great border security, which includes a wall or a steel barrier, she said no.”

This must kill him more than anything. He’s obsessed with ratings and any other metric by which he can gauge his general popularity/success. 

Yes, that and the forced stutter—like he’s some kind of old timey grandpa sitting down to have a chat with you about the ways the of the world.

Yeah that whole statement was weird AF, and it didn’t make any sense. The examples he gives and his situation are not the same of thing. It’s not like he just hadn’t got to the don’t be homophobic chapter in the text book (I guess for the comedian job?).

I think he’s afraid it’s making him look bad. It’s pretty hard for him to hide from his on-camera showdown with Chuck & Nancy where he declared that he would be proud to own the shutdown.

“Christmas Evening”? I mean, come on! I know it’s small, but is this man even a human? He doesn’t even know it’s called “Christmas Eve”? Unless he was actually talking about the evening on Christmas, but I highly doubt that he was. 

My thoughts exactly. What a bad take. It’s not like people are hiding the truth of something important from kids-it’s a delightful magical fantasy! We have to room to differentiate between lies and fantasy.
