Hey, Trumpsters - Have You Ever Wondered Why?

Have you ever wondered why your “pResident” tells lie after lie about things that are easily disproven? That’s because he knows you’re too stupid to investigate whether they’re lies or not.

Have you ever wondered why your “pResident” insists on only golfing on his own courses? That’s because the exorbitant membership fees at his golf clubs keep people like you out, so he’ll never run into people like you on the links.

Have you ever wondered why your “pResident” tweets mis-spelled, grammatically bizarre covfefe? That’s because he thinks you won’t notice, because he assumes you’re as illiterate as he is.

Have you ever wondered why your “pResident” has surrounded himself with crooks, liars and con-men – many of whom have been indicted? That’s because your “pResident” IS a crook, a liar and a con-man – and he probably doesn’t even know any honest, decent people.

Have you ever wondered why your “pResident” won’t release his tax returns? That’s because he thinks you’re incapable of understanding complicated things – like numbers.

Have you ever wondered why your “pResident” exploded the deficit in order to give tax-breaks to you – meaning those of you who needed to write-off their private jets? That’s because he’s confident that you who actually pay your taxes are way too dumb to realize they’ve been shafted.

Have you ever wondered why your “pResident” won’t disclose what he privately discussed with people like Putin and Kim Jung-Un? That’s because he knows you don’t give a shit if he sells the country out – anymore than he does.

Have you ever wondered why your “pResident” spews absolutely ludicrous “facts and statistics” on a daily basis? That’s because he understands that you will believe absolutely anything, no matter how ridiculous it is.

Have you ever wondered why your “pResident” has all of his branded merchandise manufactured in low-wage foreign countries? That’s because he knows you’re too much of a dumbass to recognize that your Put America First “pResident” is profiting by sending your jobs overseas.

Your “pResident” has only one skill, and that is recognizing exactly how stupid, how ill-informed, how easily-manipulated, and how out-of-touch with reality you are.

Your “pResident” is the Judas Goat leading you to slaughter – and what he’s counting on is your own inability to recognize where you’re headed.

It’s not too late to smarten up – and what your “pResident” fears most is the idea that you actually will.

You might want to start wondering why that is so.

Get to work! What are us taxpayers, paying your agents to do? BUST HIM! Here's a riddle: How many FBI agents were required to force a CIA director to resign? How many FBI agent did it take to watch Dr. Martin Luther King get assassinated? How many FBI agents does it take to bust Teflon Don tRump? Did you get my phone calls on record?

when anthrax is being mailed to democratic senators and press offices?

how many agents does it take to release the cia "tramps" picked up on the grassy knoll?



frank sturgis, carswell, and e howard hunt? hunt's deathbed confession puts him in the assassination pictire. hunt and sturgis were also arrested as watergate "plumbers"

this could be a very fun game if former fbi chief mueller were not entrusted with investigating the conspiracy throrist in chief.

I remember exactly where I was when JFK was shot, like it was yesterday. When Poppy was asked where he was, he replied, "I don't remember." He was in Dallas the night before.

The FBI was involved. J.Edgar Hoover was in a meeting in Dallas the night before.

They even had a code name for it according to Hunt's death bed confession, The Big Event or something similar.

mrs hunt had $10,000 in $100 bills and $2M in trsvellers checks in her carry on luggage. payed by creep (nixon's campaign committee for our younger readers) so that the "bay of pigs thing" (as nixon says on tape) will remain quiet.

the job was cia, but j edgar hoover cooperated fully in the cover up. my congreeman was on the warren commussion and was not happy with the result ....

I’m waiting for the books to be written about this phenomenon. There is an explanation somewhere for this cult like hold he has on his supporters. It is something more than mere stupidity.

who see trump's riches as a sign of divine favor?

i really can not imagine why the trump cult hang on his every word, but they are dangerous to themselves, and to everyone on the planet.

i hope we eventually win si that those books can be written.

You just can't beat stupid and certainly not our current level of stupid, which is world record shattering except for maybe 1933 Germany. But we're gaining even on them, fast.

I keep going back to this:

“Stupidity is a more dangerous enemy of the good than malice. One may protest against evil; it can be exposed and, if need be, prevented by use of force. Evil always carries within itself the germ of its own subversion in that it leaves behind in human beings at least a sense of unease. Against stupidity we are defenseless. Neither protests nor the use of force accomplish anything here; reasons fall on deaf ears; facts that contradict one’s prejudgment simply need not be believed – in such moments the stupid person even becomes critical – and when facts are irrefutable they are just pushed aside as inconsequential, as incidental. In all this the stupid person, in contrast to the malicious one, is utterly self satisfied and, being easily irritated, becomes dangerous by going on the attack. For that reason, greater caution is called for when dealing with a stupid person than with a malicious one. Never again will we try to persuade the stupid person with reasons, for it is senseless and dangerous.”

― Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Letters and Papers from Prison

I blame Reagan mostly. He started that "gov't is the problem" crap in the 80s so that's why there are so many white haired hypocrites like Corsi that people listen to.

I took a course called Critical Thinking and Writing at University of Maryland back in the mid-90s. It was one of the toughest courses I'd ever had, as we were required to compare and contrast dozens of different philosophies. The final consisted of writing ten essays. I can't imagine Trump idolaters making it through that.

Don't realize yet his tax scam was based on lies to get them to pay for the wealthy's huge tax windfall they got , and as their taxes went up to pay for them. Or the tax scam bill took just under 2 trillion away from Social Security,Medicare, and Medicaid, and also robbed millions more from their health care plan, and caused drug prices and their health care premiums to skyrocket. Maybe it was the millions trump and the gop took from big pharma? He knows and laughs at how easy his supporters are to manipulate into believing anything he wants them to believe now. More lies coming their way.

16. It's also why the stock market soared.
Wed Mar 6, 2019, 08:05 AM

Trump gave corporations trillions which they used to buy back their own stock and give raises to their executives.
The corporate tax breaks do not expire but the measly tax cuts that some people got do expire.
Meanwhile the deficit is soaring under Trump, a trillion dollars a year is projected.

What Reagan did was to get working class people to vote against their own best interests. 7% of private sector workers belong to a union.
