Thinking the Kansas City Chiefs are from Kansas, and Trump's many other geography flubs

[douglas9]

For years, one of the Republican Party’s favorite digs at President Barack Obama was to point to his “57 states” flub. Obama momentarily confusing his having visited 47 states with 57 states was cause for much laughter at his expense. And as recently as 2018, President Trump was still flogging that horse. “When President Obama said that he has been to ’57 States,' very little mention in Fake News Media. Can you imagine if I said that?” he wondered.

Well, we don’t have to imagine — because it has happened over and over again. And it happened again Sunday night after the Super Bowl.

Shortly after the Kansas City Chiefs mounted a comeback to beat the San Francisco 49ers, Trump took to Twitter to congratulate the Chiefs and said they had “represented the Great State of Kansas” very well.

1. A la Bill Maher and Mike Bloomberg

Turn these "flubs" into anti-Trump ads. Because these aren't flubs. The idiot doesn't know anything about this country.

Run these ads Day after day after day. Mike Bloomberg, Tom Steyer. George Soros. Set aside $1 billion and get a company going to produce these ads instantaneously. Counter trump's own propaganda with real information. Show him for what he is to the people who think he's a god. Video, print, online.

Going high when they go low hasn't worked. Maybe it's time for something different.

2. ABSOLUTELY!!!!

And he continues to provide SO much more material.
Show all of the flubs, the mis-naming, the degrading comments and actions, the Junior High name-calling. The world is laughing at us every time he goes out in public so show the foreign leaders laughing at him at the last G-6 conference.
It's his own gift to us to run him out. Let's use it!

4. After more research................

I'm not so sure it would matter.
It might be another "I could shoot someone on 5th Avenue" moment.

I went back and read the Washington Post link. In it there was a part about an interview with Piers Morgan, a person that has to fight Lindsey Graham to get more surface room to plant kisses. Here's a part of that interview:

TRUMP: You have different names — you can say “England,” you can say “UK,” you can say “United Kingdom” so many different — you know you have, you have so many different names — Great Britain. I always say: “Which one do you prefer? Great Britain? You understand what I’m saying?’
MORGAN: You know Great Britain and the United Kingdom aren’t exactly the same thing?
TRUMP: Right, yeah. You know I know, but a lot of people don’t know that. But you have lots of different names. The fact is you make great product, you make great things. Even your farm product is so fantastic.

SO many crazy things in there (would have loved someone to say, "OK, which 'great product' do you mean?), but, the main point to me is: even after Piers Morgan sees and hears the guy prove to be an ignorant horse's ass on his own show, Piers Morgan STILL carries the torch for him. Just like those crazy women that wear the T-shirts to his rally saying "He can grab my -----" or those stooges wearing the "I'd rather be Russian than Democrat" - we're NEVER going to change their minds - or what little they have there to work with!

Once again, the MOST CRITICAL and IMPORTANT thing we can do this year: GET OUT THE VOTE!!!!!!!!!!

6. You may be right

And it would require some sort of balance between mocking trump and informing the fox-washed masses. They don't know what he's said and done, or they don't care. And they think the rest of the world doesn't matter. They have to be deprogrammed, and the ads, done well, could do that. It would, at least, put the fox world and trump on the defensive, with them responding to every video and tweet rather than the other way around, as it is now.

The largest problem here is coordination and consistent message. Dems have a problem with that, which is partly why this should probably be independent of any candidate. Let the candidates, and then the nominee, run their own campaigns (legally they have to do that anyway, even if the technicality is ignored by republicans and russians). But the lincoln project and others need to coordinate and stay on message. As tempting as it might be, mocking the cultists won't work. It's warranted, but it's counterproductive.

I think the other key is immersion. These constantly changing ads need to show up every day, everywhere. Add in tweets, btw, including our own libbots, if you will, that take every trump tweet and mock it and get it out to the rest of the world. Imagine what might have been done with the Kansas City tweet yesterday if the mechanisms were in place. Target every FB account in Kansas city and surrounding red counties in Kansas. Hey, trump doesn't even know where the Chiefs play, or some such. (Clearly I'm not the creative one, but you get the idea.)

7. It takes a village.............

Hmmmm, what an interesting concept. Who ever thought of that?

Clearly, you are too modest. Great ideas - we DO need to work together and come up with a unified plan to defeat IQ45, as well as the whole Republican support system.(back to what you said about running their own campaigns - but STAY ON MESSAGE!)

The Republicans have proven their dedication - and it is NOT towards the American people.

3. Make him point to Kansas on a map

And leave the states names on the map, it won't help.

5. Spoken like...........

the great lawyer and defender "Bob Loblaw" is!
(plus: you know he'd use a "Presidential Sharpie" to extend the border of Kansas to match where he pointed..........)
