As if I weren’t already.

People are always making fun of the “How does nobody realise Clark is just Superman in glasses?!?” thing but when Dr.Evil simply puts on a pair of glasses and writes a book on Trump, I’m the only one who notices!

Wow. Even for him, wow.

It’s amazing we can still say this.

Also a known Rebel sympathizer. You know how many innocent Imperial officers he killed on the Death Star? Those guys had families! 😛

Now that Russian collusion, after one year of intense study, has proven to be a total hoax on the American public, the Democrats and their lapdogs, the Fake News Mainstream Media, are taking out the old Ronald Reagan playbook and screaming mental stability and intelligence…

…Actually, throughout my life, my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being, like, really smart. Crooked Hillary Clinton also played these cards very hard and, as everyone knows, went down in flames. I went from VERY successful businessman, to top T.V. Star…

…to President of the United States (on my first try). I think that would qualify as not smart, but genius…and a very stable genius at that!

Why did he divide that into separate tweets? Is there a character limit for a tweet?

At this point I have no choice but to assume embarrassing ignorance or malevolence on the part of any person older than 15 that supports President Trump or thinks that he is not completely full of shit.

There are things he has done that I think were good, others were a mixed bag, and some bad. I personally know people who aren’t embarrassingly ignorant nor malevolent that support him. Many of them discount the crazier things he says and/or does.

I’m going to need specific examples of the good things and specific examples of the crazy things they discount.

Mrebo posted a list earlier of the good things…good from a conservative viewpoint, naturally.

Like Frink said. Most of the things on that list I gave I would say are good, some I have more mixed/negative feelings on. Pretty much all his outlandish statements are discounted by many supporters. Some just really like heated rhetoric aimed at ‘the enemy.’

But it’s dangerous and unintelligent heated rhetoric.

Many of his supporters believe that his twitter rants are just an act to draw the media’s attention away from the ‘serious’ work of his administration.

That gives him way to much credit of course.

But that is how it ends up working, intended or not. The media spending so much time critiquing tweets means less time critiquing policies. And the critiques of the tweets can be very easily dismissed as fluff. Leaving very little observable media criticism of Trump for those who dismiss that stuff out of hand.

It’s also how it worked during the campaign. Nobody knew a single one of his policies, and 46% of the country thought that was a wonderful thing.
