Trump is NOT a man of his word. NEVER WAS

I read the letter to the editor and the FB pages and other outlets where I see multitudes of Trumpeteers saying, Trump is a man of his word. After I get up off the floor after laughing myself into a fit, I begin to wonder, “Which word is Trump true to?”  He changes his words every time he speaks. And, if he doesn’t, he has a slew of English-speaking interpreters to tell us what he really meant to say. What he truly believes. Which often he repudiates seconds later. I am genuinely confused now.

Someone tell me what Trump believes that he wasn’t 180 degrees opposite previously? 
It appears now, Obamacare may remain (thank goodness), with changes and fixing here, tweaking there. It appears, Trump is doing the opposite of “bring(ing) the world together,” witness Australia, Germany, etc. “Mark my words, Hillary will go to prison.” Thankfully, he reneged on that. So many more examples. If you need them, ask me. But, remember, only Kellyanne Conway can lie her way out of a Republican black hole interrogation.  

Here’s a new one, Trump nominated Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court, as a man of integrity and impartiality and integrity. He is firmly against women’s rights and set against abortion. These are items which Trump interviewed Gorsuch in detail. There is supposed to be NO LITMUS TEST FOR A SUPREME COURT JUSTICE. Yet, Trump wanted to be certain his controllable pick was in agreement, even though Trump isn’t in agreement with himself on these issues. Maybe women’s rights? Trump doesn't believe they should have rights and then touts how he hires women, presumably capable women and not just those under 30 wearing short skirts (must be Ivanka’s size) and no underwear. 

Gorsuch, an originalist, believes in the Constitution as written. The originators said it was a living document, and should change over time. Gorsuch, and Scalia before him, takes no account for the fact that this is 2017, not 1787. They had blunderbusses, not AK47’s; legal slavery; fourteen states, and four million people (Los Angeles proper today); “Domestic violence” in 1787, when it meant “civil disobedience;”  Freedom of Speech, but no internet; nothing about gay marriage; and, transportation meant horse. 

Approximately thirty contemporary judges believe that. Originalists believe that the original wording of the Constitution was based upon the Christian Bible. They argue that the meaning is fixed - it doesn’t change because the world has changed. 

Donald Trump has never read the Constitution. Boring. He doesn’t need it. He has people who read it for him. Baron, for one. Trump has a Congress he can control, and building a Supreme Court beholden to him for lifetime jobs. Justices who will do as told. Thus, Trump is redacting the Separation of Powers. Only when he dissolves the Duma….excuse me, Congress, will he have enough power. He has never realized, the Congress enacts laws - the president enforces those laws. He always believed it was the other way around. And that is what he will try to do. Make the laws. 

He criticized Obama for creating more Executive Orders than “all previous presidents combined.” Such bullshit. In 14 days, Trump has created, what he calls, 23 Executive Orders. He could hit 500 his first year, as he has vowed to do it himself if Congress doesn’t help.


In 8 years, “Executive order crazy Obama,” issued 276 Orders; George W. 291; Bill Clinton, 364; George H. W. 166 (only 4 years); Reagan 380; No info on Carter; Ford, 168 (3 years); Nixon, 345(5 years); Johnson, 324 (6 years); Kennedy, 214 (2 years); Ike, 484..    

Other than That, I have no opinion

Trump is now somehow a religious idol

Some religious fanatics have officially gone bonkers. The far right have been pushing a meme for several years now that the amoral creature, conman, egomaniac, and bad person in the WH “has been sent by God to be ‘a vessel for the purposes of the faithful’ in the role of King of the United States of America,” according to Katherine Stewart.  A firefighter picks up a Bible in a moment of revelation and automatically turns to Isaiah 45. Agent Orange is also number 45. Coincidence? I think so. This disclosure is because Cyrus in Isaiah 45, is “saved” and becomes Emperor of Babylon, freeing the Jews. These Christian Nationalists, no relation to the saner version of ages past, believe the adulterer, misogynist, oaf in the White House, who is encouraging them, will save humanity.  Tony Perkins, Ralph Drollinger and V.P Mike Pence support it, as well. Deport them.

The Great builder STILL believes the wall will take three days to build.

  The Moscow Lapdog-in-Chief, stated, “Any deaths of children or others at the Border are strictly the fault of the Democrats and their pathetic immigration policies that allow people to make the long trek thinking they can enter our country illegally.” This was the first time he ever mentioned the deaths of the children by his own actions and edicts. Those children would not have been protected.  Knowing his intelligence level, he probably believes his wall can be built in three days. Most people think it would take up to fifteen years. Moreover, no one believes it will be effective.   Also on the last days of the year, the megalomaniac froze wages for Federal Workers who have been furloughed; people who are out of work, while the person responsible whines about spending the holidays alone (he did not), dines. He canceled his appearance at the New Year’s Eve Gala at Mar-A-Lago. Investors paid vast amounts of money to be in the same room with him — no refu...

Republican malevolence

The Temp President has created a mess. His vindictive Captain Queeg act and a Captain Ahab, McConnell, at the helm.  Now, a fugleman, Peter Lorre impersonator Lindsey Graham, has decided, amidst the clutter and chaos caused by the new Trump Party, to emulate his not-so-divine leader.  The new Senate Judiciary Chairman has decided during this period of Trump-inspired confusion and disorderliness, to dig up old, settled issues.  He’s decided to use the committee to begin investigations of the Obama administration and Hillary Clinton; maybe Benghazi. Of course, this is nothing but another infant being placed in a position of being able to turn on the gas on the kitchen stove. Pampers diapers must be doing great business in D.C. Trump promised that following the elections, he would request these inquiries. Now, as the self-appointed Lord of Congress, he has his sycophants bidding his orders. Neither he nor McConnell nor Graham nor McCarthy nor 53 Senate Republicans ar...
