White House Braces for Trump's Temper

July 17, 2018 at 11:52 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard

New York Times: “Now, Mr. Trump’s aides fear the worst is still to come. If the past is any guide, they said privately, Mr. Trump will spend the coming days digesting the continuing fallout from his encounter with Mr. Putin, and he will look for someone other than himself to blame.”

You're civilians for god sake. You're not in the military, you're not doing a thing for our country but you might like to get your resume over to Russia. You're doomed if you stay, doomed if you don't.

They're a bunch of racist, greedy, Trump-worshipping assholes and liars.

Decent people don't work for Donald Trump

Seriously?

Am I supposed to feel concern for them? Am I supposed to feel sorry for all the bullshit they put up with from Trump?

I wipe my feet on my doormat because that's what it is for - so I can stomp and wipe, ridding myself of all the crap stuck to my shoes.

That's what doormats do. That's the purpose of a doormat.

My doormat didn't have a choice in the matter. It's a doormat. My doormat can wear out but it can't simply walk out.

People can.

At first we (some of us) thought that they’d protect us from tRump’s worst instincts. We were hoping they’d stay in place to maybe have some positive influence over tRump. It is clear now that they are useless in this role. They are used and abused. Thank you, Sir. I’ll have another.

We have learned a lot about these so-called leaders. They are not the men (and in some cases women) we thought they might be. Sterling military careers be damned. They have shredded any credibility that they had to begin with. If they have one ounce of intergrity left, they should just leave immediately and abandon tRump. Let him figure it out. He is used to having stooges do his dirty work. Let’s see how bold and brave he is when he has no one to order around and do what he tells them to do.

a big shot of thorazine. Too bad Reggie isn't around, maybe they can put something in his food.
