The president said there were “very good numbers on the economy.” Tell that to the people whose tax refunds disappeared, the people working three jobs that still do not pay what one used to pay, and the black Americans whose employment numbers are the best ever — except they were double that of white Americans. Trump said:
‘VERY GOOD NUMBERS ON THE ECONOMY. MUCH POTENTIAL FOR GROWTH. TRADE DEALS BEING NEGOTIATED OR BEING SET UP FOR NEGOTIATION. WE HAVE BEEN TREATED VERY UNFAIRLY (TO PUT IT MILDLY) BY OTHER COUNTRIES FOR MANY YEARS, BUT THAT IS CHANGING!’
Then, the president went after “the wacky (U.K.) ambassador:”
‘THE WACKY AMBASSADOR THAT THE U.K. FOISTED UPON THE UNITED STATES IS NOT SOMEONE WE ARE THRILLED WITH, A VERY STUPID GUY. HE SHOULD SPEAK TO HIS COUNTRY, AND PRIME MINISTER MAY, ABOUT THEIR FAILED BREXIT NEGOTIATION, AND NOT BE UPSET WITH MY CRITICISM OF HOW BADLY IT WAS…’
Of course, given that U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May was a woman, she should have listened to his financial advice, the kind that took him through bankruptcy after bankruptcy. Instead, “she went her own foolish way:”
‘…HANDLED. I TOLD @THERESA_MAY HOW TO DO THAT DEAL, BUT SHE WENT HER OWN FOOLISH WAY-WAS UNABLE TO GET IT DONE. A DISASTER! I DON’T KNOW THE AMBASSADOR BUT HAVE BEEN TOLD HE IS A POMPOUS FOOL. TELL HIM THE USA NOW HAS THE BEST ECONOMY & MILITARY ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, BY FAR…’
The commander-in-chief still was trying to get around the SCOTUS ruling that rebuffed the citizenship question on the Census:
‘“I AGREE WITH THE PRESIDENT, THE SUPREME COURT GOT IT WRONG. THERE SHOULD BE A QUESTION ABOUT CITIZENSHIP ON THE CENSUS. A.G. BARR SEES A PATHWAY TO ADD THE CITIZENSHIP QUESTION.” STEVE DOOCY @FOXANDFRIENDS WORKING HARD ON SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE SO EASY. PEOPLE ARE FED UP!’
Maybe, Trump has been trying to hypnotize mass audiences, repeating his words over and over about people’s financial states “getting bigger, better, and stronger.” Maybe that was what it took to brainwash his base:
‘….AND THEY ARE BOTH ONLY GETTING BIGGER, BETTER AND STRONGER…..THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT!’
Trump wanted to believe he was right and “the Supreme Court got it wrong:”
‘“I AGREE WITH THE PRESIDENT, THE SUPREME COURT GOT IT WRONG. THERE SHOULD BE A QUESTION ABOUT CITIZENSHIP ON THE CENSUS. A.G. BARR SEES A PATHWAY TO ADD THE CITIZENSHIP QUESTION.” STEVE DOOCY @FOXANDFRIENDS WORKING HARD ON SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE SO EASY. PEOPLE ARE FED UP!’
Then, the man who has been selling nuclear secret technology to the Saudis pulled out the patriotism card:
‘OUTRAGE IS GROWING IN THE GREAT STATE OF MINNESOTA WHERE OUR PATRIOTS ARE NOW HAVING TO FIGHT FOR THE RIGHT TO SAY THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE. I WILL BE FIGHTING WITH YOU! @FOXANDFRIENDS’
