How are Republicans feeling this morning reading in The New York Times that Donald Trump lost over $1 billion between 1985 and 1994? The man who spun the illusion of himself as a wildly successful businessman is nothing but a master con man, whose greatest con was against the American people. How are Republicans feeling now that the illusion is beginning to fall apart?
The Republicans in Congress knew that Trump allowed the Russians to attack democracy when they elected him president. These politicians put their names behind Trump to prop him up. Did they believe the greatest American con would never be caught? Mitch McConnell stood up on the floor of the Senate and proclaimed “Case Closed,” about the Mueller report, but he lied:
‘McConnell Backs Trump: Mueller Report Is “Case Closed”‘
Not once but twice, Mitch McConnell lied:
“CASE CLOSED!” @SenateMajLDR pic.twitter.com/TOIatsmu4U

POTUS frantically sent out another tweet trying to defend the indefensible:
‘Real estate developers in the 1980’s & 1990’s, more than 30 years ago, were entitled to massive write offs and depreciation which would, if one was actively building, show losses and tax losses in almost all cases. Much was non monetary. Sometimes considered “tax shelter,” ……’
Fluffy words for a man who lost over $11,000 an hour every day for a decade:
‘….you would get it by building, or even buying. You always wanted to show losses for tax purposes….almost all real estate developers did – and often re-negotiate with banks, it was sport. Additionally, the very old information put out is a highly inaccurate Fake News hit job!’
Someone must have grabbed the president’s phone for a moment and tweeted about Teacher Appreciation Day:
‘I am grateful to the millions of teachers who put their heart (and countless hours!) into their work. Thank you for your passionate dedication to improving the lives of your students!
#TeacherAppreciationDay’
Then, the tweeter-in-chief went back to an old favorite, abortion, trying to shift the topic. This from a man who wanted his second daughter aborted:
‘Today, I led my Republican colleagues in asking for the #BornAliveAct to be taken up. Dem Leadership again denied our request to protect babies who are born alive after an attempted abortion… This bill is commonsense legislation. ‘

Trump has always shown his cards, displaying his fear as he increased the number of his tweets:
‘Democrats and Republicans should be working together to lower the cost of prescription drugs.
What are Democrats doing instead? Holding the Attorney General in contempt for NOT breaking the law.
It’s ABSURD.’

Then, Trump started firing out with his Twitter scattergun approach, heading for the economy and his “great deal” with China:
‘The reason for the China pullback & attempted renegotiation of the Trade Deal is the sincere HOPE that they will be able to “negotiate” with Joe Biden or one of the very weak Democrats, and thereby continue to ripoff the United States (($500 Billion a year)) for years to come….’
Of course, the man had no idea how to run a business let alone the U.S. economy:
….Guess what, that’s not going to happen! China has just informed us that they (Vice-Premier) are now coming to the U.S. to make a deal. We’ll see, but I am very happy with over $100 Billion a year in Tariffs filling U.S. coffers…great for U.S., not good for China!
Finally, Trump quoted one of his handmaiden’s, tweeting that the Dems were hurting Roy Cohnesque Attorney General William Barr:
‘”The real “Obstruction of Justice” is what the Democrats are trying to do to this Attorney General.” Congressman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio).’
Twitter world went crazy. Check out our favorites below:
