“The current demographic base of the Republican Party under President Trump’s control will become a minority party for a generation if we don’t broaden that tent and start including people that don’t look like you and me.”
–Former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci, on Fox’s Steve Hilton show, Aug. 9, 2020.
“Scaramucci, who just made a fool of himself as he got taken apart by Steve Hilton, only lasted 11 days in his favorite of all-time administration, before being fired for, again, making a fool of himself. Anthony is a loser who begged to come back. I said, ‘No thanks.’”
–Donald Trump tweet, 8: 45 p.m., Aug. 9, in response to Scaramucci’ comments.
“The Loser is you: 162,000 dead, 40 million American jobs lost on your watch. We are tired of all of the losing. We wanted you to succeed but you are an abject failure. Thankfully it will be over on 11/3. America will heal and rebuild.”
–Scaramucci, in back atcha tweet, 9:17 p.m., Aug. 9.
“It’s reassuring to know that between all the golfing, watching TV, making up mean-girl nicknames for political rivals, botching the response to the Covid pandemic while being the most incompetent POTUS ever, he still finds time to be petty and vindictive.”
–Actor Mark Hamill, tweet, 10:15 p.m., Aug. 9, 2020.
“Boy, you’ve really got your finger on the national pulse there, don’t you Chuckles? 162,000 dead, a looming depression, and all you do is offer illegal executive orders you know will be tied up in court until after the election and bitch about… The Mooch? That’s leadership.”
–Max Burbank tweet, 9:45 p.m., Aug. 9, 2020.
“5 million COVID cases in US as we move ever closer to 170k deaths. But sure, strafe the Mooch.”
–Tweet by Kara Swisher, Aug, 9, 2020. {Burbank and Swisher pretty much cut to the heart of what’s so terribly wrong about the Trump administration: rather than try to ignore criticism as most elected officials do (criticism, after all, pretty much comes with the job), he spends an inordinate amount of time and energy responding to each and every critic, which necessarily cuts into the time he can devote to golf.]
America would do well to listen to those that were closest to Trump back in the day and now are revealing exactly how incompetent he is….they know first-hand just how completely bankrupt Trump is morally, intelligently and emotionally! American voters have been told….
Mark Hamill’s is my favorite of these tweets.
Years from now, historians would look at the Trump presidency and wondered, “How did America elect such a person?” Trump’s tweetstorm show, arrested development, narcissism, petulance, We know. How does the saying go? “Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.” If Trump is reelected, the problem is with the American people, not with the man. (Of course, there are all kind of tricks the magician can pull along with his allies (DeJoy currently concerns me the most at this point).
