"Trump's approach to governing seems to be, essentially:


January 25, 2019 the Salt Lake Tribune published this article:

Longest shutdown over: Trump signs bill to reopen government

So far there have been about 150 comments made by SL Tribune readers; this comment s one of the best I have seen so far:

1) Take a dump on the carpet
2) Complain loudly that there is a turd on the carpet
3) Blame the turd on everyone but him
4) Demand someone else clean up the turd
5) Smear the turd around
6) Say he cleaned up the turd better than anyone else could have
7) Declare victory

And somehow, 35% of the country still thinks he's great because Obama never took a dump on the carpet."

I had thought that Utah was a bit more RW but I guess the nutjobs don't read/comment at sltrib.

Apparently KSL is the go-to for RW Utahans. They aren't parading much news about dump's humiliation right now.

Cohn and Stone and trump go wayyyy back. Cohn's M.O. was exactly what Trump has copied and has done for years.
Never admit to anything, always attack when confronted, never ever admit defeat, even when you lose.

That is now hardwired in his brain.

I think it's an incurable disease......

We could list hundreds of similar Repug characters starting with those like Spiro Agnew, but we might overload DU's servers....

Thanks for posting the links and commentary, Kpete.
