QOTD: The Prez
by digby
“We’re doing better than we ever did before,” Trump said before his casino company filed for bankruptcy. https://t.co/2pd0rxP3Gv pic.twitter.com/JSUq56y1oi— CNBC (@CNBC) December 22, 2018
He’s been saying we have the greatest economy in world history and he’s been taking credit for every bit of it. Now this:
“In recent days, Mr. Trump has asked aides whether he can fire Jerome H. Powell, the Fed chairman he appointed, telling advisers that Mr. Powell will ‘turn me into Hoover,’ a reference to the Great Depression-era president.”
It appears he’s building up to a new blame game for the next big failure. He’s been getting away with it his whole life so why not now?
I keep wondering if his cult will ever wake up to the fact that he is the whiniest grown man any of them have ever met. He literally scream “it’s not faaaaiiiirr!” dozens of times a week. When he isn’t bragging he’s blaming or throwing a tantrum. According to that NYT article linked above, in private he pouts and curses at the staff that they’re all “fucking idiots.”
I know I’m repeating myself. This isn’t something you all know. But every once in a while I just have to document it here because it’s so astonishing.
If you find what we write here every day to be valuable, I hope you’ll consider putting some change in the Hullabaloo holiday stocking. If you’ve already donated, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. If you haven’t and would like to help support this blog for another year, the paypal buttons are on the sidebar and below as is the snail mail address.
And I wish all of you Very Happy Hollandaise!
