GOP strategist: "Trump's bullying is a weak person's idea of a strong person."

Last edited Mon Jul 31, 2017, 06:24 AM - Edit history (1)

There was a canadian comedy-show, "Kenny vs Spenny". In it, two friends squared off in ridiculous contests.

One of the contests was, who can be the coolest. After some preparation-time, they invited over a coolness life-coach to make his judgement. One of the contestants wore a leather-jacket and was nervously smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol. The other one wore a T-Shirt and was just hanging out on the couch.
Guess which one won. It wasn't the pretender.



An uncool person's idea of a cool person.

---------------------

Now, even the Republicans can no longer deny that Trump is not who he claims to be:

“It’s hard to believe that I can continually be shocked by the president’s behavior. But I am continually shocked by the president’s behavior,” said Dowd, a veteran of Pres. George W. Bush’s administration.

“Donald Trump has a bizarre view of what it means to be a strong person,” he continued, “a bizarre view of what it means to be a strong person in this society, especially a strong man. To me, Donald Trump in his actions are a weak person’s idea of what a strong person is. The way you commit violence, how you act towards others, all of that. His idea of a strong person is bullying people. His idea of a strong police officer is mistreating people.”






A weak person's idea of a strong person.
A stupid person's idea of a smart person.
A loser's idea of a winner.

Not so you would notice. Where was the birthday party, with balloons and clowns? Maybe he DID have it, but we mistook the clown for little Don the Con? He would want a grown up party, with a naked woman springing out of a giant cake. You know, something CLASSY.

We were pointing this out last year. And the year before that. And in 2012.

And if you can see your way to adding "a poor person's idea of a rich person", we can also add "for the last forty fucking years".

He played all your old tunes, you know. It was your guys' strategy to develop a base that responded to all the things he harped on. Drank it down and was eager for seconds. You're the roadies who put up the stage he stepped up on.

You built that.

So weak that foreign leaders can gain concessions by flattering him. Anyone so dependent on ego massaging is weak. He also can't even fire appointees in person. He does it through tweets. He didn't fire Preibus to his face either. He found out when he was put out of the presidential motorcade.
