Donald Trump and the Terrible, Horrible, Very Bad Week
Read Time:3 Minute, 26 Second
Yeah, I know- the last thing you wanna do is read yet ANOTHER anti-Trump rant. As much as it may surprise you, I don’t want to be writing one. But if I figure, if I must, then I may as well make it entertaining.
The Tangerine Twit has had a pretty bad week, all things considered. The latest polls have him at 60% disapproval, which means that the majority of Americans hate his guts. For any other President, that would be pretty sobering enough to hole up in the Lincoln bedroom with some Haagen-Daaz and binge watch THE WEST WING, but this is Donald Trump we’re talking about, here. Reality doesn’t apply to him. He thinks he’s the greatest president of all time. Yeah… in the same way William Hung had a successful singing career. I hear he’s knocking them dead in Vegas as we speak.
But it’s easy to be in denial when you’re surrounded by enablers and sycophants who kiss your ass and only pass on the news you want to hear about yourself. The rest of us have the deal with the truth. I guess that would explain the opioid crisis.
If I could get through the next two years stoned out of my mind, I probably would.
Anyway, yeah, Trump has been getting his ass slammed pretty hard last week. From Brett Kavanaugh being hammered by Congress during his confirmation hearings, to a new book coming out by famed journalist, Bob Woodward, which paints his presidency in a negative light, and an op-ed piece published by the New York Times that was written anonymously by a member of his administration that pretty much calls him an out-of-control dullard.
This would seem to be the beginning of the end for Trump as far as liberal hopes go, but as far as I go, I’m not going to hold my breath. I mean, it’s nice to hold out hope, but come on, this idiot has an uncanny ability to weasel his way out of trouble like a mongoose in a pit of vipers.
I hate to be a wet blanket, but no, I am NOT relieved that there might be an “active resistance” within the White House that is curbing Donald Trump’s worst instincts. If it’s true, then I don’t mind saying that they suck at their job. If they were serious about protecting the country, then they would use the 25th amendment and kick his arrogant ass out of the oval office!
By announcing their existence, all the author really did was make it harder for them to operate in the open. Now that Trump is aware of them, he’ll be foaming at the mouth to ferret them out. What’s more, they’re not really helping the country by subverting Trump’s agenda, they’re merely using him to push their own. I dunno about you, but that scares the shit out of me.
If the ‘deep state’ exists, it ain’t fomented by people on the left; Democrats aren’t the most ruthless people in the Government.
Plus, this only makes it worse for journalists to do their jobs; it’s bad enough that Trump calls the media “the enemy of the people”, more stuff like this and his nutjob supporters will be gunning down newsrooms like homies popping their pistols during New Year’s Eve in East Los Angeles!
Even though Bob Woodward’s book isn’t out yet, the excerpts he’s published so far have pretty much backed up a lot of material that’s already been published, like Michael Wolff’s FIRE AND FURY. And considering Woodward’s reputation and the fact that he helped bring down Nixon, I think we can take anything he has to say about Trump as gospel.
At this point, if you believe anything that comes out of Trump’s mouth, you must either be the most gullible person on the planet or have the IQ of a cabbage. Which, if you’re a Trump supporter, you already possess. Congratulations!

Candidates aren’t determined until the candidates are elected in the primaries and that doesn’t happen two years out. Remember there are 50 states and any number of territories in the US. These things take time. It isn’t tiny little Britain after all.
His win surprised a lot of people and if he hasn’t blown us all to bits by 2020 there are enough fruitcakes in the US to reelect him, but they won’t. There will be a lot more bad weeks for DJT before he’s kicked out of the Oval Office.
I’m tempted to put a few $’s on Trump winning again in 2020.
I really hope I lose my money…but I reckon I won’t.
He could win again, but it’s doubtful, and were I you, unless you are independently wealthy, I’d save my money. Trump is despised by two-thirds of the country and is being investigated by any number of state and federal agencies. He’s a pig.
Who is he up against in 2020?
Two more days and Woodward’s book actually gets published. I expect, however, the more salacious parts have already been broadcast from coast to coast, and across sea to shining sea 🙂
