Who?

January 19, 2017 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

The alleged President Elect, Donald Trump, had a doozy last night while speaking at the Pence dinner. Has anybody noticed that he’s starting to speak in Twitter phrases?

First of all, his speech was a series of stabs at everyone he thinks doesn’t give him proper respect, including Pence.

Mr. Trump lauded Mr. Pence in a roughly 25-minute speech, but poked at him for declining to endorse his candidacy in the primary in Indiana, where he was governor, instead backing Senator Ted Cruz of Texas. “The fact that every donor he had was in favor of” Mr. Cruz played no role in the decision, Mr. Trump said sarcastically, according to a recording provided by a guest.

But my personal favorite was his contention that he’s head of a “movement.”

“There hasn’t been anything like this since Andrew Jackson,” Mr. Trump quoted his admirers saying. “Andrew Jackson? What year was Andrew Jackson? That was a long time ago.”

Yes, he finally remembered the date but what I think he forgot is that Jackson gets the blame for the Panic of 1837, which lead to a four year recession.

He also forgot that Jackson is considered the founder of the Democratic Party.

Private school education, what can I say?

    Andrew Jackson?!!! Great example. And you just mentioned the “highlights” of a low life. Of course, Jackson is a perfect model of someone who should have never been President. He tried to eliminate the federal government’s ability to raise revenue! Sound familiar?

  2. For awhile now, I’ve been thinking that congress will jump on impeachment proceedings soon after inauguration, since Donnie’s pretty well despised by a lot of mainstream repugnantcans, and Pence is their dream guy. But idiotically, I’ve been thinking that Pence would then replace, or at least reign in these cabinet picks with people more like mainstream repugnantcans from other administrations. But if the Daily Kos is to be believed, Pence and the DeVos / Prince cabal have been steering Donnie to these folks all along. They’re having Donnie set his own successor’s dream cabinet. Multiple pieces on the Daily Kos regarding this. But I still haven’t seen much in the way of confirmation from regular media or even politico. And their bloggers seem to quote a lot of folks, without saying who the quotes were made to. But if it’s remotely close, Donnie Douchebag will go down as the biggest CHUMP in history.

    Andy married his wife before she had been legally divorced, signed the Indian Removal Act and gambled away all of his grandfather’s inheritance. Yep. Can understand that Andy is the one Donnie would pick to emulate.

  4. Andrew Jackson’s legacy included the hopeless, miserable Trail of Tears.
    Trump’s Trail of Tears is bound to be miserable and hopeless, but at least a few tears we shed will be from laughing at what an absurd buffoon he is.

    The Flounder Flopper elect and his Third Whatever just broke the irony meter marching in to “Heart of Stone.”

    “There’ve been so many girls that I’ve known
    I’ve made so many cry and still I wonder why
    Here comes the little girl
    I see her walking down the street
    She’s all by herself
    I try and knock her off her feet….”

    Unholy shades of Cheetos orange, Gloria Allred cannot knock that loser into a semblance of reality soon enough. Process server to Donnie: “grab this.”

  7. Oh gosh..

    President Jackson was the President who shaped the office into the one we know today.

    “I have only two regrets: I didn’t shoot Henry Clay and I didn’t hang John C. Calhoun.” Calhoun served Jackson as VP.

    Jackson is one of my 5 greatest Presidents.

  8. Tomorrow I mourn the death of democracy. The Trump cabinet promises to be the most corrupt and amoral in our history. Just listening to the horrible atrocities of Mnuchin and his repossession of homes from widows, veterans and seniors is heartbreaking. How appropriate for Drumpf and his Evil Empire to include him in the inner sanctum. Impeachment or imprisonment cannot come soon enough.

    Andrew Jackson is a mixed bag. He was totally a man of his time. The great people of history are those who somehow manage to embody universal truths, rather than their contemporary truths. That wasn’t Jackson. IMO, Jackson’s racism was his worst trait. On the other hand, his small (d) democracy was a step forward for the US.

  10. Jackson was considered “a man of the people,” and the “people” showed up at the White House on inauguration day and just about wrecked the place. Now Donnie and his crew are going to do it metaphorically, which is worse, rather than literally.

  11. After tomorrow cheeto face will no longer be president-elect, but by golly if I am ever forced to use the word “president” alongside of “trump”, it will be president (asterisk) trump.

    His election was a lot more questionable than Roger Maris’ home run record.

    So president* trump will be the best I can do.

    Can’t bring myself to capitalize anything about him either.

    The only movement he is head of is a bowel movement.

    Sam in San Antonio, Donnie is more of a blockage than a movement.

    Nefer, an a$$terisk and hopefully an asteroid landing on Donnie.

    In the future, BLOTUS and TLOTUS are the best I can offer on a good day. Otherwise #NotMyPresident remains Donnie and his quasi legal immigrant wife is Third Her.

    Show us your tax returns and her papers, Donnie. Or, yes indeed, as you fear you are as illegitimate as she is illegal.

  15. A “free-flowing speech?” Oh, puleeze!! How insulting to even the average NYTimes reader. donald maunders and meanders through words that may or may not be related to each other, facts, or the English language.

    Trump has been tweeting that all these leaks have been getting in the way of his great movement. Such a statement will influence our cuisine. We have already had Chicago’s Foot Long Trumpweiner (3″); Canada’s Trump Sandwich (filled with baloney, Russian dressing, small pickle); and Washington’s Golden Shower Burger (covered with thin yellow Cheez Whizz sauce and served with large lemonade). But this recent excited utterance of his makes me think we shall soon see:
