The Day Trump Became Un-President​

The first press conference of Trump’s second term had a lot in common with the freewheeling, falsehood-packed sessions of his first.

“… And just like in 2020, Trump used a national calamity to try to score political points and denigrate his foes. Fourteen hours after a midair collision between an American Airlines jet and a military helicopter outside Washington last night—the first crisis of the young administration, a moment to console a stunned and grieving nation—Trump repeatedly implied that the crash was the fault of his Democratic predecessors and of DEI policies.

Trump offered no evidence to support his claims but repeatedly cast the blame on others, even as bodies were still being pulled from the frigid waters of the Potomac River just a few miles away.

“Because I have common sense, okay?” Trump said, when asked how he had concluded that diversity programs—programs that Trump claimed were put in place by the Biden and Obama administrations—were to blame. “Unfortunately, a lot of people don’t.”


And then, in his briefing-room appearance today—the first of his 10-day-old second term—Trump offered a few initial notes of sympathy, and then turned almost immediately toward castigating DEI, leaving several correspondents to turn and shake their heads in disbelief.

“I put safety first,” Trump said. “Obama, Biden, and the Democrats put policy first, and they put politics at a level that nobody’s ever seen, because this was the lowest level. Their policy was horrible, and their politics was even worse.”

Trump showcased his instinct to immediately frame tragedies through his own ideological or political lens, facts be damned. And it’s a pattern: Earlier this month, he blamed the Southern California wildfires on Democratic politicians and suggested that illegal immigration was the cause of a terrorist attack in New Orleans, even though the attacker was a U.S. citizen born in Texas. …”

Trump has an amazing knack for begging the question. Six times in three sentences.
 
A crazy white kid kills 20 kids between 6 and 7 years old at school using multiple guns. Days later, when gun control is mentioned, various POSs place their hands on their hearts and solemnly declare that it is too soon to be political. We need to heal.

One day after ~65 people die in a plane crash Trump makes up some bullshit blaming Biden and Obama without proof or even a coherent theory of "how." He really is garbage, absolute garbage. I see NO redeeming qualities. His cult is also garbage. "Hate" is a strong word, but damn. He is shit. Full stop. Shit.
 
Put this in the other thread too but look at this trash::


This White House is not interested in solving any problem. Simply in culture war shitposting and casting blame. What a disgrace.
This.

Trump knows that his culture was bull shit is what got him elected and he's going to continue riding that bus until the wheels fall off.
 
I had forgotten from Trump 1 just how fawning and obsequious his aides are during his press confernces. That is especially egretious and out of place during a press conference on a tragedy of this magnitude.

And , maybe wrong thread, but the press lets it rip
 
MAGA has always been about make America straight, white and Christian again. That is what has always been at the core of it.
Yep. And everything else is secondary. All the talk about the economy, smaller government, lower taxes - all of it - is secondary for the vast majority of these people. It's all about the culture wars, and the culture wars are all about what you just said. Period.
 
I dunno. Blaming the deaths of 67 people on diversity hires is beyond the pale, even for Trump.
Compare to blaming a non-existent spigot in Northern California for wildfires.
Compare to spreading lies about FEMA and Helene
Compare to spreading vicious lies about black people from Haiti eating pets
Compare to grabbing by the pussy
Compare to J6
Compare to J6 pardons

Lots of things Trump does are beyond the pale even for Trump.

My TDS is flaring up today because I hope this motherfucker chokes on his next Big Mac post haste. I don’t even care about the dude‘s politics. Fuck politics. What kind of absolutely disgusting human being acts like this 12 hours after 70 families just got the worst news of their entire lives.
I prefer something more lethal than a Big Mac!
He's running is mouth as they are pulling bodies out of the water. Classless.
SOB is completely off the rails ! Assume he is a ‘mad dog’ and call SWAT team.
