Trump Rails Against Fake News, Amazon and DACA in Morning Tweetstorm

Source: Mediate



by Ken Meyer | 8:45 am, December 29th, 2017

-snip-

The president released a series of tweets today that saw him complaining about a broad range of subjects that seem to be on his mind. Guess what? These tweets, yet again, seem to be inspired by what he has seen on Fox & Friends.

First of all, Trump blasted the “Russia hoax” and the “fake news” media for how they’ve framed their coverage of his low national approval numbers.




-snip-

In his next tweet, Trump decided to revisit his animosity with Amazon while also criticizing a part of his very own government, the USPS.




Finally, Trump reminded everyone that there will be a wall and that DACA’s future will be determined by it, certainly a lofty promise.

How to Build Trump’s Wall - Privatize It

Republicans have often found a way to tax people surreptitiously by privatizing many public works projects to corporations rather than have gov’t pay for it. A fee is a tax under another name.

The corporations/investors are granted a multi-year license with a guaranteed profit.

This could also be done with Trump’s Wall with Mexico.

Corporations/investors front the money to build it and they will be paid by Mexico.

It gives republicans a chance to save the gov’t money by investing in it and show their confidence in Trump’s word that Mexico will pay for it .

No gov’t backed bonds.

No cost to the gov’t,,, no need for taxes,,, profit for the patriotic investors who believe in Trump.

Win win all around.

Even Trump can show his patriotism and shrewd business savvy by investing in it.

This one contains an additional Republican dream:

Privatize the Post Office.

They will gallop the Trump horse until he drops dead.

Rates are set by the Postal Commission who are appointed by the President.

my rating on Dec. 28, 2017, was approximately the same as President Obama on Dec. 28, 2009, which was 47%

Of course since he only looks at Rasmussen polls when his handlers can use them as a talking point, then he can claim that is the only one (of many) that matters. For Gallup, he is 38% approval - http://news.gallup.com/poll/201617/gallup-daily-trump-job-approval.aspx?g_source=GALLUP_DAILY&g_medium=topic&g_campaign=tiles

That's Trump.

Every day, I am sadder and more angry that this traitor and his criminal family are still squatting illegally in the White House.

Obama's composite approval rating was around 50% at this point....during the depths of the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression. Shit gibbon's is around 38%....the lowest in modern history at this point in an admin.
