29. Floggin the Darn Horse!
Thu Oct 3, 2019, 10:35 AM
Oct 2019

If one had a good strategy, there are times to just let things go. The news cycle even contributes to that by its ceaseless churning.

But no, Trumpty repeatedly flogs dead horses with great vigor. He calls attention to things as if there is some psychological flaw or personality disorder that compels him to do it. The results are not really helping him, except maybe to maintain and influence is base, which may be a terrible strategy in the long-run, all things considered.

It is worth noting that we pay for his exploits one way or another. There are real issues at hand and no dearth of work to be done FOR this country and he is focusing our resources and time on himself and his personal issues at our expense. One of his primary concerns has been reelection, in fact, from the very beginning. As far as doing his job goes, he is the guy at work that spends all day on the Internet. That's unacceptable in itself.
