I Think He’s Trying To Get Us Ready
I think you’d have to be deaf and blind or a Republican not to see that Donald Trump is cuddling-up to people we used to call the enemy.
As he settles into office, President Trump’s affection for totalitarian leaders has grown beyond Russia’s president to include strongmen around the globe.
Egyptian President Abdel Fatah al-Sissi has had his opponents gunned down, but Trump praised him for doing “a fantastic job.” Thailand’s Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha is a junta chief whose military jailed dissidents after taking power in a coup, yet Trump offered to meet with him at the White House. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has eroded basic freedoms, but after a recent political victory, he got a congratulatory call from Trump.
Then there’s the case of Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte. He is accused of the extrajudicial killing of hundreds of drug users, and he maligned President Barack Obama as a “son of a whore” at an international summit last year.
Trump is peddling his theory that the only way to beat Isis is with totalitarianism. So we give them permission to kill their political enemies and build up their reputations, meanwhile insulting democracies all over the world.
I don’t get it. I bet a plate of Momma’s fajitas that Trump doesn’t get it either.
Verdelia says that Trump admires these leader for their ability to kill people in cold blood. Nobody will let Trump have a gun, so he’s using his health care plan to do it.
I’m 100% sure that Trump thought the US president had dictatorial powers, that’s why he’s so surprised that “presidenting” is so hard. He’s trying to turn the US into a dictatorship using (for now the non-lethal) Russian methods against the media and courts; replacing the judges with his own corrupt and immoral people and trying to turn the public against the media.
1It is not news that the short fingered vulgarian is a dictator wannabe. He has the fantasy of a cope takeover with him at the top. With his AG I think he is 1/2 way there.
2My little bride is pretty sure the gender of the other country’s president makes more difference to Drumpf than any other factor. So European countries like the UK, Germany, Norway, Poland with female presidents or prime ministers might find it difficult to partner with the USA until voters can rid the WH of Drumpf and his ilk. And a HazMat crew can thoroughly sanitize the WH from top to bottom to get rid of that old man smell.

5Well, you do know they all flock together . . . whether its Berchtesgarden or Manila or wherever. That is how ye shall know them . . . and for what they are.
645 is like the kid in school that the “cool kids” don’t want to associate with, so who will be his friends? Why the lowest scum of the school. 45 really wants to be with the “in-crowd” but has no idea how. Of course, his personality wouldn’t allow it anyway. Same with the world leaders who WERE our allies. They are completely turned off to him – so who is left. Why all the dictators and other unsavory leaders. Plus he imagines himself more as one of them. A bully who can make people jump, and if they don’t – get rid of them (one way or another).
