Bumpity bump goes Brian Kemp under Trump's bus.

https://www.rawstory.com/2020/04/you-hate-to-see-it-internet-laughs-as-trump-kneecaps-gop-governor-who-took-his-advice/

On Wednesday, President Donald Trump left Gov. Brian Kemp (R-GA) out to dry, telling the nation at his latest coronavirus press conference that he disagrees “strongly” with Kemp’s decision to reopen several high-risk industries — even though he had spent weeks urging GOP governors to do exactly that.

Kemp’s political misfortune became a swift subject of mockery on social media.

...he would betray anybody, stab anyone in the back, say or do anything, for the sake of saving his ass...

He stabs them right in the front after they have already fallen on the sword for him. He just blatantly and overtly disowns them and leaves them to fend for themselves. He doesn't even wait to stab them in the back. He does it in the front in a very public way that has got to be humiliating for them. I wonder why so many keep doing whatever he says he wants.

he spent last week openly calling for the violent overthrow of governors in VA, MI and MN, because their states were closed, now he's saying Georgia shouldn't be closed?

The MAGAts must be baffled.............. i'm sure they were all saying "drumpf is right! you see! thank you kemp" when kemp announced the opening, now their hero is against it....

there are probably like the android in this old star trek clip.......

Much if our criticism of Donnie has to do with us objecting to his goals or his tactics or his lack of decency, ethics, and so on.

But here's a case where he screwed up even if you agree with everything about him. There's no world in which he benefits from failing to align Republican governors with his strategy.

If he wanted to shout about states reopening, but not actually have any of them doing it, he should have given Republican governors a heads up.

do horrible things for him when it is a known fact that he will turn right around and disown people and leave them to fend for themselves? Maybe I should not try to understand stupid, illogical people.
