“Isn’t it crazy that people of little or no talent or success can be so critical of those whose accomplishments are great with no retribution.”
—Donald Trump tweet, July 18, 2013. [Yes, Donald, that is amazing.]
“Biden/Obama were a disaster in handling the H1N1 Swine Flu. Polling at the time showed disastrous approval numbers. 17,000 people died unnecessarily and through incompetence!”
—Donald Trump tweet, April 17, 2020. [As we close in on 100,000 coronavirus deaths…]
“Nobody will protect our Nation like Donald J. Trump.”
—Donald Trump tweet, May 26, 2016.
“Isn’t it time that Obama release (sic) his college records and applications?”
—Donald Trump tweet, Oct. 15, 2012.
“Why does Obama believe he shouldn’t comply with record releases that his predecessors did of their own volition? Hiding something?”
—Donald Trump tweet, Oct. 30, 2012. [aaaand…nearly four years into his presidency, we’re still waiting for the release of Trump’s school and tax records.]
‘It eats him alive inside’: Trump’s latest attack shows endless obsession with Obama…by David Smith, May 16, 2020, The Guardian.

“The World’s Leading Liberal Voice”. No bias there.
ObamaGate Bogus ? Really. Sally Yates has already exposed information that shows Obama awareness of “RussiaGate” plan to destroy Trump before he took office. She was shocked she said. Keep watching, but you my not see any report in “The Guardian”.
And wasn’t it Obama who kept blaming “W” for his poor economy for EIGHT years ? Maybe all of these guys have an issue with predecessors. Except Reagan. Everyone knew what a screw up Carter was.
How do you explain the late night firing of State Department Inspector General Stephen Linick? Blaming Obama for everything and stroking anti-Obama sentiments is getting old..let’s talk about the present, not the past. Blaming Obama for what goes wrong, fomenting conspiracy theories, show Trump’s shortcomings–short on leadership and empathy (what to expect from a narcissist? (check out the definition). This post is not in defense of Obama (heck,sometimes I long for GWB, who showed leadership and brought the country togehter post 9/11, however briefly), but I am tired of Trump’s shenanigans . Please address Eric Trump’s (not the brightest light in the neighborhood) that COVID19 is a “Democratic hoax” and will disappear after the 2020 election. OK, Eric, take a field trip to any ER in NYC (your backyard) –an insult to all health care workers and support personnel that are risking their lives to serve, to do what they know how to do best, while your sit on your derriere..if you have nothing to say/do in support then shut your mouth and stop being daddy’s surrogate.
Zoe, you and most of the readers of this blog have a vastly different take on “transparency.” If you think the vile, evil, distorted, fabricated, juvenile tweets of Donald Trump represent transparency, you have maxed out on rationality, justification and defense of a completely irrational, irresponsible, mentally disturbed individual. You can no longer be taken seriously (assuming you ever could).
The only “transparency” Trump’s tweets convey is validation of the theory he is unfit for any public office, much less POTUS.
Apparently, DJT took to heart that old admonition, “Do as I say, not as I do.”
I still maintain that it is a horrible and dangerous thing for Americans to consent to be governed by “tweets”!
I completely agree. At least the media (except for the Fox (cable’s National Inquirer) has stopped covering almost all his tweets. But here is his latest tweet:
Anonymous Tweeter: “Mr. President, do you know who is buried in Grant’s tomb?”
Trump: “No, who is it?”
Well Edith, you cannot debate the transparency of the man. His constant tweets let’s you know what he is thinking at every moment. We are not “governed” by tweets though.
You know CJ, I note on Fox they almost always have a liberal on each segment to present opposing views. CNN, MSNBC never do, and I watch them often.. I watched Chris Coumo interview his brother for example. I loved the insightful questions about the Governor’s nursing home edict. Actually, he talked about the Governor being one of the most eligible bachelor’s. Great reporting. And Don Lemon. How does this guy qualify for his own program ?And then, there is Morning Joe. And let’s not forget Rachel. It is painfully obvious why CNN/MSNBC have such poor ratings and why libs are jealous of Fox news..
Anonymous tweet: “Mr. President,”why do they guard that tomb of the unknown soldier every day ?”
President Obama: ” I really don’t even know who is buried there or what his name is or what he did to get buried here.” I don’t even see anything worth stealing”
Michelle *I think it is stupid, who cares about that flag or the military”.
I know, as lame as the Grant joke and just as respectful.

CJ, This is what bias from the right looks like. The polar opposite of the Guardian. The truth lies somewhere in the middle.
You call his tweets “thinking”? Nothing more than a sign of impetuousness whose main purpose is inflaming his base..we know the man by his tweets..something is seriously lacking.
Now Ms. Zoe, are you trying to identify yourself as a moderate? You give me hope.
Some info on Mr. McConway of the link above:
Would that be the infamous “alt-right” ?
The title of another of that site’s stellar articles:
Obama Slithers Out from Under His Rock, Then Trump Goes Nuclear on Him
Looking at some of the other “articles” it just seems like another version of The National Enquirer.
