The King of Petty
Trump flew into a rage this morning after Greta Thunberg, the 16 year old climate activist, was named Person of the Year by Time Magazine. He then attacked her on Twitter causing an even greater backlash.
As if that were bad enough, the Team Trump showed up to get even more petty. They tweeted out the Time cover with Trump’s face photoshopped onto Thunberg’s body:
To make it worse, they posted the picture with 4 lies:
- Booming Economy (It’s not)
- Record Job Creation (Wrong)
- Historic Tax Cuts (That are causing record deficits and slashes to fundamental programs)
- #AmericaFirst Trade Deals (Not Really. And causing the loss of hundreds of thousands of jobs)
- ISIS Destroyed (Not hardly)
- Building the Wall (Not really, and stealing money from the military in the process)
There’s no stunt too silly, no insult too low, no pettiness more petty than from Trump.
From rocky to thanos and now to Greta.
1Never his own cellulite porkine build.
His team must have some very serious body awareness issues
So very presidential.
2This week it’s all right to attack children? Good. Prof. Karlan can come our of hiding.
3Yeah, but the backlash on Twitter has been delicious (like the reminders that you shouldn’t pick on minors…)
4Trump mansplains advice to Greta, a 16 year old who daily makes better, more informed choices than he does?
Trump’s Tweet indicates he may be the one with anger management issues. Maybe he should focus on this whole impeachment situation on the table? Next to the cheeseburger and Diet Coke.
5Trump hates women.
6And 16 year old girls.
Just when you start to hope that Trump and his cult members can’t sink any lower, they manage to do something more despicable than ever. This latest bizarre tweet is clear evidence that the Orange Outrage is completely off the rails. Attacking a 16-year old activist and then redesigning the Time cover –seriously sick.
7Trump is far less mature than Ms. Thunberg. Also less intelligent, and with less emotional control. He only wishes he could have such grace and class.
8I wonder what would happen if a Democrat photoshopped their head on the body of Barron Trump, then wrote captions around it, and begged for money?
Fox News? Any opinion?
9Melania?
My husband hoped he would live long enough to see Mar-a-Lago under water. Unfortunately, he died last year. The talking yam in the White House has made this all about him, yet again, while attacking a child. Hey, Melania, where are you and your “Be Best” anti-bullying program? U really don’t care, do U?
10K @ 1,
Maybe some male identity insecurity? First a Prize fighter, Second a comic G-d of the Universe and lastly, a a young adolescent girl? Like WTF is going on?
If only being bat guano psycho was grounds for impeachment…
djw @ 4,
Melania got in the middle this and twitter burned her ivory tower to ground.
Bonnie @ 7,
The people on twitter should write political ads for the Dems.
11What’s with the ‘TEXT TRUMP TO 88022’? Maybe ‘DUFUS’ instead?
12Projection is thy name.
13And regarding another topic near and dear to our hearts, Little Bubba’s still kicking ass and taking names.

14Dougie Collins was INDIGNANT about how Nadler railroaded the process.
15Apparently repugnantcans know that most folks don’t remember how they set douchebagery precedent by ending committee hearings by walking out, and turning off the microphones, and turning out the lights on other Representatives wanting to speak.
Douchebags.
I can’t imagine what was in heads of those photo shoppers who pasted Trump’s face, but not his neck. He looks like a frail old dodderer on a break from the old folks home.
Greta neatly turned the tables by changing her bio to read something like “teenager with anger management issues attending movies with a friend.”
16This tweet was perfect. It refocused attention on him, the Twitter equivalent of photobombing.
But your count is off. I count FIVE outright lies along with the noted mischaracterization of the tax cuts as a good thing.
17Utterly pathetic.
How can anyone view this half-senile snowflake as any kind of a leader?
One of the few true things he ever said, well before the election: “I’m a big whiner.”
