What does a TRUMP presidency look like?

"We're going to put a hold on money spent to the WHO. We're going to put a very powerful hold on it," the President said in his briefing.

"They called it wrong. They missed the call. They could have called it months earlier," Trump said.

"It's a great thing if it works but when they call every shot wrong that's no good," he said, accusing the WHO of being biased towards China, which Republicans have accused of trying to cover up the virus.

I need to disengage from US politics news. I can't deal with Trump's damaged brain and his sycophants anymore at this point.

It is possible to disengage from Trump speak and still look at US politics. I don't waste anytime with the random garbage generator that he is and still can learn about what is happening in my country.

The talk is just the cherry on top of the turd sundae. I find it easier to brush off or laugh at the "rhetoric" than the actual actions of the Trump and his cronies.

I stopped paying attention to anything Trump said only a few months into his presidency.  His speeches/Tweets might as well read like this:

"Pavement screwdriver chihuahua welcome cumulonimbus idealism passage box novel ajar coffee wireless commerce."

OK bmolson.

The argument that Crozier didn't first use the chain of command is given to be a lie by the fact that Modly's own chief of staff contacted Crozier, gave him Modly's own hone number, and said, in essence, "ignore the chain of command from now on and contact the SecNav directly.  That's when Crozier realized he wasn't getting any help unless he let lots of people know he needed it.  In essence, he was saying that, if Modly was the solution, the problem was insolvable.  That's what Modly got pissed about.

Modly is such a putz.  You don't calm the waters by pouring flaming oil on it.

and Modly quit now

OK bmolson.

Hopefully he's doing ok and hasn't had any encounters with pointy objects lately.

He's served his purpose. If you're career military and want to keep your job, you'll toe the Trump party line.

I just realized who Modly reminded me of.  Conrad von Hoetzendorf.  It's the haircut I think.

I bet Modly would have also sent the Second Army to Serbia

[grumbler]

To paraphrase duffleblog, "Modly was last seen outlandishly questioning the sanity of anyone who would make an outlandish statement, knowing it would be leaked to the press.... in an audio recording which was subsequently leaked to the press."

[Razgovory]

Got to give Grumbler credit, he called it.

and it might just work as well with his fanbase!

I mean, it apparently does as there are still rabid Trumpists out there

It was only after I watched the Netflix documentary Tiger King that I really understood such people. 😉
