Can you feel it? Trump's "Hurricane-of-bullshit" is back.

[DetlefK]

Picking fights with China, then Mexico, then Canada, then Panama, then Greenland...

Trump has ADHD or something like that. He has already lost any interest in anything he promised during the campaign. And instead he does whatever spontaneously comes to his mind.

From making his son's ex-girlfriend ambassador, to trying to buy Greenland again, to suddenly having an issue with Panama....



It's like 2017 all over again. Trump will have a new outrage next week. And then a new outrage the week after that. And then a new outrage the week after that. And then a new outrage the week after that.

The only thing that he will actually deliver on are tax-cuts, because he literally cannot remember what he did last week.

[Emile]

1. His constant whining makes me want to puke!

[Mike 03]

2. Hurricane of Bullshit. I really like that.

IMO it's better than "Firehose of falsehoods."

Hope it catches on.

[Diraven]

31. Nuclear Hurricane of Bullshit

After he bombs it.

[chicoescuela]

32. I like that terminology also. I'm going to give it a try and see how it flies

with similarly thinking friends and family
Thank you

[Hugin]

3. There was the Kari Lake two-fer...

From the Ambassador of Mexico to Voice of America in less than twelve hours.

I suppose maybe she was out bid.

[underpants]

4. This is a guy who gets a standing ovation every night at dinner

He has a circle of sycophants who constantly praise him and live in fear of being cast out of the circle.

He not just lives but requires attention and praise.

[KPN]

34. Right?!

And on top of that, he’s frigging nuts and sees the world as a “Game of Throne's”.

[Irish_Dem]

5. Trump is under Putin orders to destroy the democratic alliances.

Trump is taking a wrecking ball to global democratic relationships.

[paleotn]

9. As I've said before, don't give him more power than he's due.

He doesn't get to make those decisions or implement them on his own. We're not Assad's Syria.

[Irish_Dem]

11. Trump will do what he wants to do.

It remains to be seen if anyone will stop him.

That said, the damage is already being done.
Trump is harming the alliances just with his bullying and threats.
He is turning our friends into enemies.

[paleotn]

13. No, actually, like the debt ceiling, he won't.

[Irish_Dem]

14. We shall see. You have more confidence in the GOP than I do.

But as I said, great damage is being done just with the threats.

[travelingthrulife]

26. He isn't President yet.

[paleotn]

39. So what. He was once.

But hey! Sit around, wringing your hands in a constant state of terror. You're doing exactly what he wants you to do. Since he's in doddering old fool, he may not know it rationally, but that's his intent. Hope you're on some good blood pressure meds. You're going to need them. I don't let him have that much control over me.

[rasputin1952]

49. I don't allow him to have any control over me. n/t

[chicoescuela]

33. And just like Putin and the Russian people, the rest of the world will

find it hard to differentiate between tsf and you and I. We will, as citizens, be hated as much as tsf.

[Irish_Dem]

37. Oh yes, we will all be painted with the same brush.

[allegorical oracle]

6. Part of his chaos is due to an ego-driven need for attention. But another aspect is a

strategy that aims to keep people confused and shaken -- too busy maintaining their own balance to notice what fresh travesty or dishonesty he's up to. His grifting skills are well honed.

[Ligyron]

7. Absolutely right.

It’s a way for him to get attention each and every week with some new, ridiculous complaint or outrage..

Don’t know why he bothers, the MS legacy media covers him 24/7 regardless.

[paleotn]

10. Exactly. He's trolling. Don't be trolled.

Please use your rational brain, people, not you emotions. Don't allow yourselves to be manipulated.

[orangecrush]

18. I disagree

When he says he is going to do something, I believe him.

It's one of the ways of surviving autocracy.

[paleotn]

38. What he thinks our wants does not equal what will happen.

He's not god for heaven's sake and being in a constant state of terror over his latest spewing is not healthy and exactly where he wants you. Congrats for falling in line.

It's not that he can't cause some major wreckage but he's not invading Canada. Or Greenland. Or anywhere else. That's fucking nuts. Jebus!

[Blue_Tires]

46. 7 years later I'm still waiting for Mexico to pay for the wall 😅

[bronxiteforever]

8. Unlike 2017, his bs is being turned off

I think it won’t be long before the majority realize they have elected a doddering old man for the next 4 years. As an entertainer, his act is very thin and his talk is all bull. World leaders, friendly or not, know his words are worthless and his threats are toothless.

[Kaleva]

15. It's taken over GD

[IronLionZion]

16. The first thing he reversed was his promise to lower grocery prices

the reason so many idiots voted for him.

So he needs to distract the dumbest Americans, which are apparently half the population.

[orangecrush]

17. Yup

[Mr.WeRP]

19. CNN headline I shit you not: "Trump considers US expansion"

The fucking media is against the world FFS

[Bernardo de La Paz]

20. Watch the flying monkeys; ignore the Eelon behind the curtain & Herr Miller behind the other curtain. . . . nt

[oldmanlynn]

22. Remember the media ( all of them ) are complicit

If Biden had put his son’s girlfriend in as ambassador the entire media eco system would be in uproar

[Escurumbele]

23. Lets not be fooled by it...It's like the old "Look! Squirrel!", they allow him to be stupid without resistance

because the thugs who are not stupid and ignorant as he is will work behind the curtains while the clown performs his act of stupidity, it is a strategy, and I remind everyone that Grover Norquist gave them the idea many years ago when he told republicans that all they needed was "a monkey who could use a pen, he doesn't have to come up with legislation, or provide any ideas, he just needs to be able to use a pen." I am paraphrasing, of course, but that was pretty much the idea, so first they got G. W. Bush, that was their first monkey, but he was not noisy enough, they needed one who constantly outraged the country, who was good at creating division, anxiety, not only in the USA but around the World, they found trump. Some of those republicans are pro-Putin, anti-USA, so trump's leanings towards dictators and communists is OK with them, and most importantly, trump can use a "Sharpie".

So please, do not be fooled by the buffoon being what he is, what we need to do is ignore him, we should have done that from the beginning, but then again the media feeds from his stupidities because we all love to pay attention. The best tool to weaken a buffoon like that is to ignore him, just continue to call Musk "president" an keep him outraged, then we will win the war because once trump is weakened, the rest will fall.

Lets make sure we look behind the curtain to disallow the other criminals to commit crimes against the country and us.

[rasputin1952]

48. It actually began with Reagan...

and a chimp stole the show (Bedtime For Bonzo).

[EllisWhy]

24. Did he ever have any real interest?

He has already lost any interest in anything he promised during the campaign.

Of course...he doesn't have to pretend to care about things that got him elected and can now focus on the only thing he actually cares about--himself.

[2 Meow Momma]

25. I feel it. In addition to all mentioned here, he wants to change Denali back to

Mt. McKinley.

So many things to cause outrage that we get exhausted from the hurricane of a shit.

I saw Denali this past summer. The tourism industry leans heavy on indigenous tribal history. It seemed to me that the locals respected the culture very much, too, so changing the name back to Mt. McKinley is a real slap in the face of Alaskans.

[lame54]

41. He's not done erasing Obama's legacy...

He's obsessed with that

[Blue_Tires]

45. It still burns him up to know that somewhere

There's a black man more accomplished and more popular than he is...

[Johonny]

27. Bulwark is correct

Only pay attention to what he does, ignore what he says. The bullshit chaos is tiring and distracting.

[Linda ladeewolf]

30. All Shiny Objects!💎

[Blue_Tires]

44. Exactly

I fell for the trap of hanging on every outrageous statement and angry tweet the first time around. This time he gets absolutely none of my attention. As far as I'm concerned, the White House is officially vacant.

[usonian]

28. Look at my thumb. Gee, you're dumb. EVERY OUNCE OF BULLSHIT IS A COVER FOR GRIFT, GRIFT AND MORE GRIFT. pardon the caps

[Kali999]

29. owes

Panama money from real estate. Guess he's posturing to get out of it.

[slightlv]

35. I can only hope its out of his mouth

And then out of his mind. His last admin left me with PTSD, I swear. I'll not survive another one intact. Ive been hanging onto my marbles out of necessity... God help me if the next who knows how many years kicks in dementia or Alzheimers. For sure I'll need counseling regardless. Wonder if I can get one of my cats registered as a comfort animal...

[CrispyQ]

36. If MSNBC thinks I'm going to tune back in, they're wrong.

I signed up in 2015 & cancelled after the J6 hearings. I resubscribed when Harris became the candidate & cancelled the day after the election. I won't be tuned in this next four years like I was before. It's exhausting & in the end it didn't make a damned bit of difference being informed about his every BS phrase & lie. I'll get my news here & the TV will stay off.

Here's a DU thread about CNN normalizing the idea that Trump wants to "expand the US." They even liken it to the Louisiana Territory purchase. JFC, these fuckers are complicit, every one.

[republianmushroom]

40. Was anybody expecting anything any different ?

[vapor2]

42. orange monster is transactional and mentally ill

I read he wants the Panama Canal so Elon can have access to shipping privileges.

[Blue_Tires]

43. The media has secretly missed the chaos...

The voters have secretly missed the reality TV idiocy, the childish tantrums and grade school insults to other world leaders on social media...

The clown and his freakshow circus of incompetence, hatred and lawlessness is back in town, baby! The reality show nobody wanted just got renewed for another full season!!

[rasputin1952]

47. How true...

However, I do believe his "outrages" will be on a near-daily basis (if not hourly)!

Science can't fix stupidity.

[Meowmee]

50. He will give tax cuts to wealthy & deregulate

But the middle class in every category will be screwed as usual. And d will vote for it too.

[OAITW r.2.0]

51. Nope....just reading DU OP's. I know what's coming, but I guess we deserve it as a society.
