This Is Just Sad: Republicans Are Giving Fake Awards To Trump

This Is Just Sad: Republicans Are Giving Fake Awards To Trump

https://www.politicususa.com/2021/04/12/republicans-are-giving-fake-awards-to-one-term-loser-trump.html

"SNIP......

Trump was given a bowl and deemed a Champion of Freedom, which is an award that Republicans made up to make Trump happy.

Here is how the National Republican Senatorial Committee described the award, “This weekend, NRSC Chairman Rick Scott presented President Donald J. Trump with the NRSC’s inaugural Champion for Freedom Award. This award is presented to conservative leaders who have worked tirelessly to create good jobs, protect the values that make our country great, and stop the Democrats’ socialist agenda.”

Republicans could have cut out the BS and just said this is an award to former presidents named Donald who live in Florida, who is a very good boy.

There is no floor for how low Republicans will go to appease Trump.

of cowards and wimps. They don't have the guts to stand up against Trump. Of course, most are cut from the same piece of cloth.

flatter and placate Trump so he won't create his stupid Patriot Party and destroy what's left of the GOP.

He stole their base so now they have to kiss his ass to keep the votes they need. He owns the Republican party.

Pathetic.

about a fake battle made up to display at one of his golf clubs.

A 2015 report about a factually inaccurate plaque featured at Donald Trump‘s Northern Virginia Trump National Golf Club has resurfaced this week in light of the president’s controversial remarks about the violent weekend in Charlottesville – and his tweets about preserving Civil War memorabilia Thursday.

The New York Times story, published with the headline “In Renovation of Golf Club, Donald Trump Also Dressed Up History,” historians disputed the veracity of a plaque that sits between the 14th hole and the 15th tee of one of the club’s two courses.

The plaque, which is attached to a flagpole on a stone pedestal overlooking the Potomac, reads: “Many great American soldiers, both of the North and South, died at this spot. The casualties were so great that the water would turn red and thus became known as ‘The River of Blood.’ It is my great honor to have preserved this important section of the Potomac River!”

“No. Uh-uh. No way. Nothing like that ever happened there,” Richard Gillespie, the executive director of the Mosby Heritage Area Association, told the Times. “The only thing that was remotely close to that” was something that took place 11 miles up the river. The conflict there was known as the Battle of Ball’s Bluff, took place in 1861 and involved several hundred deaths on the Union side.

Where Mr. Burns discovers that Homer is sterile because of working in a nuclear power plant and he gives a fake award so that he won't sue. Another thing the Simpsons predicted!

Scared to offend him
Scared to not praise his worthless ass.
Scared trump might not like them.

They are stuck in an abusive relationship,and they like it.


Sick,sick,sick.
