Tomorrows Friday. If the president were to rise at dawn and say, Its Saturday, what would be the meaning of that statement? Would his people those who back him no matter what check their calendars and convince themselves the calendar theyve been using is wrong and the leader they adore is right? This whole thing about President Obama wiretapping Trump is nothing but trumped up nonsense The man in the White House is demonstrably capable of making up claims that have no reality. Hes no better than the weirdo in the basement who calls in the fire alarm just to hear the sirens go past.http://www.dailykos.com/stories/2017/3/17/1644390/-When-Chris-Matthews-hits-it-out-of-the-park-Wow

(15,242 posts)I doubt there are any media types including right wing nut jobs who really like Trump personally. It is all about the outrage Trump the ass wipe generates. If only Trump would say these things in a manner you could ask a question and not hide behind a smart phone.

(82,849 posts)The cult of personality parallels between Mao's China and Trump's United States are more than a little eerie.

(2,550 posts)I might suggest any of Eliot Pattison's books.
"Edgar-winner Pattison remains without peer at integrating a fair-play whodunit into a searing portrayal of life under an oppressive and capricious regime."
His novels are set in modern times.

(20,629 posts)"the most deviant man to ever occupy the White House". Pretty strong statement, considering some of the creeps that have actually occupied that place.

(2,771 posts)This same rant could have occurred in June 2015 when Trump declared his candidacy. Instead of playing along with birtherism, Matthews and the rest of the MSM could have and SHOULD have called him out with every megawatt of their power. NOW he's upset? Too little, too late. But I'll take these crumbs, I guess.

(3,282 posts)If Hillary Clinton went to a campaign stop in California and at 10:00am said, "Good morning, San Jose!" you just know Trump and his surrogates would come out and say, "How could she say good morning? It was 1pm in New York, and she was a senator there!" and all of Trump's supporters would scream and wail about how Hillary's lying about the time, and the media would sit in front of their cameras and say, "Well... he's not wrong."
Right and wrong aren't even a consideration, he's just trying to cause chaos and destabilize our concept of reality. Keep people off-balance and they're easier to push around.

(37,428 posts)Trump can be prepped with a few vague talking poInts, but otherwise he's pantsing it every time he opens his mouth, counting on no one calling his bluff. This lack of strategy served him well enough for seventy years, given the cover his money and fame plus bankruptcy laws provided. Now he finds himself completely unprepared for real-world politics, in which what you said yesterday often limits what you can get away with saying today.
It was inevitable that he would firewall himself as much as possible, hiding or vacationing every day, and blaming/firing almost anyone in order to patch his crumbling facade.
