I'm worried what Trump will do - the end game of his demolition of the economy and the currency.

(4,341 posts)do not call out his lies right there, in front of his face. We all know the MAGA people don't read anything, so that article is just preaching to the choir. The creature must be exposed at the moment of the lie, let him try to explain why he is taking credit for something he didn't do, crush his ego by letting the entire World know, right then, that is was his predecessor, President Barack Obama, the one who did it and not the creature.

(5,103 posts)The term is Stolen Valor and we have seen an increase in this activity as of late.
Now it's not just stolen medals and war stories of heroism, now it comes from the Commander in Chief.
This draft dodging loser and coward is misappropriating the good works of another, (Pres. Obama), and claiming them for himself.
Now I realize the intent of the law was impostors wearing medals they didn't earn, but I believe what tRump has done to a past CiC is within the scope of this law.
Granted it is a misdemeanor, but this is a classic case of the fish rotting from the head.
Never have I seen so many top officers relieved of duty for conduct unbecoming. They act like their president. The discipline in the ranks is also rife with racism and bad conduct. Follow the cancerous leader!
He must be replaced.

Standup to this illegitimate CIC and the lies he tells as he ignores and belittles the Constitution the very document we took an oath to defend.
The 2nd Amendment isn't the only one that needs protection.

(81,421 posts)Grabbing money. Grabbing women in general. Grabbing everything from uninvited kissing to groping. Grabbing real estate for less than its worth (and then over inflating its value so he can grab even more money). Grabbing the spotlight. Grabbing attention. Grabbing unfair and undeserved advantages, prestige, and presumed rank on the social - and now also the political scene. Grabbing the narrative of whatever day or hour it is.
Small hands, but they grab BIGLY.

This is actually not even a sick joke. It's his madness.

(22,976 posts)Hes a viscous, slimy leech whos never done a lick of serious work. He just sucks the life out of anything good, or decent, or fair, or helpful.
His one specialty is stirring up shit: pitting Americans against one another, disrespecting the disabled (or those who suffered during military service), spreading conspiracy crap, and being an irredeemable asshole. He also whines, moans and complains constantly total victimhood.
Hoping that most Americans are sick of his cruel, shitty act, and hand him his walking papers in 2020.
