“We just got a BIG win for the people of Michigan. Open up your Churches and your Schools. Auto companies pouring in and expanding (thank you Mr. President!). Have fun!”
—Tweet by Trump celebrating Michigan Supreme Court decision revoking emergency powers of Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. The FBI arrested six men on Thursday for plotting to kidnap Whitmer. Seven others have also been charged in the plot. [Of course, we’re sure there were “fine people on both sides.”]
“This is the biggest political scandal in history. Sleepy Joe, Lyin’ Obama, and Crooked Hillary led a treasonous plot by SPYING ON MY CAMPAIGN and then blaming it on the RUSSIANS!
“Biden shouldn’t be allowed to run. He got CAUGHT and now he needs to pay the price.
“The Liberals have ALWAYS been trying to take me down, and more importantly, they’ve been trying to take YOU down, Tom.
“We can’t let this go on any longer. We need to FIGHT BACK. I want to make a statement SO BIG that even the Fake News won’t be able to ignore us.”
—Email from Trump to yours truly on Thursday. [As he becomes more and more desperate and strident, more and more emails come in from Trump, Pence, Eric, Donnie, Ivanka, Lara and even Diamonds and Silk. I get offers of free pins, cocktail glasses, yard signs, photo ops with Trump and God knows what else – and I haven’t been a Republican since midway through Bobby Jindal’s first term. He must really believe he’s going to jail if he loses.]
“Just last week, the president of the United States stood before the American people and refused to condemn white supremacists and hate groups. When our leaders meet with, encourage, or fraternize with domestic terrorists, they legitimize their actions and they are complicit. When they stoke and contribute to hate speech, they are complicit.”
—Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.
“As far as Trump is concerned, we know this about him: you can say, ‘how many people have died of coronavirus?’ Well, if none of their names are Donald J Trump, then the answer is none.”
—Republican strategist Rich Galen, on Trump’s concern for others during the pandemic.
“Breaking: The USA is withdrawing from the Nobel Peace Price and creating its own.”
—Parody tweet by Simon Bye after Trump failed to win the prize this year.
NOT A TRUMP QUOTE, but it should be (with apologies to Cavin & Hobbes):
Hobbes, aka William Barr: “It’s wrong to get rewards you haven’t earned.”
Calvin, aka Trump: “I’ve never heard of anyone who couldn’t live with that.”
Revenge is sweet for #45 but even sweeter when he is defeated. Let the civil/criminal charges begin.
Folks are suffering from “Trump Fatigue Symdrome!” Trump is so relentlessly Trump that it has become predictable and tiring. But, then again, I think that the “Trump Deranged Syndrome” was referring to his actual mental state?
