Sheeeit......

Just like I said at the time. Welcome to politics via reality TV.

I was watching him in the early morning since it was "live" and even wrote a post asking, "And who will benefit financially from this?". He just wants the money more than a distraction, I believe. I would like to know why he capitalised "Media & Democrat Crazed and Irrational Hostility..." though. Are Irrational Hostility and Democrat Crazed the names of groups or organizations? And DemocratIC is the correct spelling not Democrat, fucking moron.

This last "formal" announcement was extremely suspect to me all the same.

The timing was way off (Syria, and the impeachment investigation) and Mulvaney tossing out the whole, 'yeah, we did it get over it' at the same presser? Nope, I never bought it as being legit. It was supposed to distract us, anger us and derail us from bigger issues. We're better than that though, and the media he's dealing with now is massively larger than the good 'ol days of the Page 6 pool he's used to running in circles.

as Pigman pointed out. His businesses are in trouble, it will be no surprise if several go under by the middle of next year. He won't be able to save them by sucking up Russian money this time.

Trump is not cunning, he is corrupt and greedy. Mitch McConnell is cunning and greedy. Without McConnell being able to carry water for him, like on judicial appointments, Trump shoots himself in the foot.

It was already sent out as a trial balloon and it flopped. Yes, he wanted it desperately and I think he was going to try again but not like this and definitely not right now. It's way too early considering he already knew it wasn't a popular idea. This was an underhanded bomb delivered in a wacky presser (there was no reason to announce this that way no matter when they chose to) where all kinds of batshit stuff was said. Ask yourself why it was ever handled that way at this moment in time? Why?

Several Republicans already were "concerned" when he said it earlier, but he misgauged just how damaging his stunt was on even seemingly safe seats. The last thing they need is one more senate seat in play in 2020.

wait until he's removed from office in total, abject disgrace. The "Trump Brand" won't be worth won't be worth a plugged nickel. Look out for bankruptcy number six, it's on it's way. There's goes the inheritance his kids were counting on to get through life without ever having to hold a real job.

They all do it to taunt.

I heard that is why he does it, it sounds like the Dems are "rats". The thing is that he was listed as a Dem and so were Ivanka and Jared until he ran for office. It even said so on their Wikipedia bios. He is a transparent, self serving fraud. He really did want to cash in on the G7. He figures he can get away with anything so why not at least try. He will keep trying this crap until he is gone. No knows no shame.

No idea, but I imagine some clever folks on Twitter have come up with something!

And fully justified.

More a 'Indignant and Justified Hostility'.

Get it right, dude. (Dude being Trump.)

JUSTIFIED hostility!

The ultimate grifter.

He did want it there to cash in and remodel a failing business. I wonder who got to him and told him “no way.” He’s finally not getting whatever he wants.

and this kind of shit just pours forth from him naturally and non-stop.

Without help from people who are like Putin and McConnell, Trump stumbles into blunder after blunder.

My bet where the G7 will be held now, Camp David, and Putin won't be invited. He will take too much heat for any other choice and with cover provided by republicans fracturing, Trump won't go against that heat.

He's been scalded on both of his moronic G-7 "ideas."

And he knows that if he's even still president then he's gonna need every photo opp he can get with other, real world leaders.

So he's caved in. Whatever will get the other six here, he'll do.

is a roadmap for the dumbass.

C’est ça! He knows he’s toast and is going for broke.

Watch the actual presser and then say that to me with a straight face. It was full on a channeling of P. T. Barnum.

Then go back and look where Republicans questioned this when Trump first proposed it, and then how the house judiciary committee was already looking into if this was even legal since way back then. Again, reference the actual presser and watch Mulvaney pretend to be surprised at the suggestion it would be investigated. His reason was something like, you'd think the Democrats would be too busy what with the impeachment and all. There was already an investigation as to if such would be legal from the last summit when he mentioned it.

It was total low end theater and a distraction.

I'm editing to add, it also blew up on Trump because Republicans feet were being held to to fire locally. He knew they were in jeopardy but didn't care when he played this hand. It wasn't until they started reaching out to their chamber leaders about how bad the optics were for them that he relented.

Literally, he was tossing several Republicans under his bus to distract from his bad news cycle assuming they'd still have his back because he has clout with their chamber leaders. He miscalculated.

endangered by Trump's naked greed, cowardice and blunders, so privately McConnell is likely hedging when Trump seeks help to get out of a jam.

make all of Congress his henchmen.

Even corrupt Moscow Mitch -- who benefits from family gifts and helps a Russian national do business in KY, who'll play the henchman in strong man politics -- knows the House and Senate won't break constitutional law.

He can’t get from one minute to the next without insulting half the country. Trump is a graceless low-life.

That might be c*cking.

You bloated orange assclown.

n/t

that happened there during the Civil War.

Probably the biggest battle ever in history, to involve either a River, or Blood.

Many say it was the critical battle in the great, great General George Washington's ramming of the ramparts to take Reagan Airport from the British.

My guess is Camp David. President Obama did a G7 there and it went well, so Trump will most likely piggyback on that to avoid more damage to himself.

at Russian Agent Orange's expense

They won't need as much renovation as the Doral.

He wouldn't change this solely based on Democrats criticizing him. He's still benefiting in some way.

No doubt it’s NOT because media and Dem pressure.

I imagine Senate Republicans and world leaders told him “no way.”

doesn't have a spine.

That little shit show is now put to bed.

Would have been just him and Putin.

at least, were going to want no part in such screamingly obvious corruption.

Mabe not Abe either.

Johnson and Conte? They'd probably have been fine with it.

Constitution. I really hope we don't need to depend on foreign leaders to do that now.

You CHOKED LIKE A DOG !!!!!!


Disclaimer: I apologize profusely to all dogs, sorry, it's a sarcasm thing.

and media went along with it...same old pattern..

He brought the idea up at this years G7.

And like always tweeted it with getting a feel for the pushback.

Both by republicans and more importantly G7 members who probably sent out subtle message that they would not attend. Trump is hated in every G7 nation and no leader of them can be seen as pandering to his pocketbook.

He knew it was a huge hot button issue. Why whip it out right this moment?

I refuse to believe he is playing 3D chess. He is too impulsive.

But he knows his base will never leave him. They are truly a cult.

This is classic reality TV bullshit. Remedial backstabbing of your allies but you're betting they won't out you because you know Piper slept with Devon and doesn't want Tiffany to know.

Except, it's not reality TV and Republicans constituents were even smart enough to go, WTF?

When in fact, taxpayers pay $184K per year for Dan Scavino to manage his Twitter account...

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/16/magazine/dan-scavino-the-secretary-of-offense.html

Where a reporter discussed that the WH keep a list of items that they bring out to change news cycles..

But how bad has it gotten that their distraction stories actually support his disregard for the rule of law and garner even republican push back?

Wouldn’t it make more sense to push something that actually helps him?

This has by no means made Ukraine and impeachment go away. You think they are that desperate to regain the narrative? Which they have lost and are not getting back.

This person is totally incapable of self reflection. He has no problem making up bullshit personnas to make himself seem "special". He is not. He is a Con, a fraud, a liar, a scammer, and a failed business man on, supposedly, his core strength - real estate. He survived 2008 by leveraging his financial soul to Russia. Why can't 40% of the American voting population think about this?

on any such list.

Nor would further inflaming against you already panicky Congressional Republicans inching towards the exits.

I wouldn't doubt such a list exists, though.

They're the ones who raised hell and caused him to walk it back sooner than he planned.

He's narcissistic to the point that never crossed his mind before he sent Mulvaney out there with the flamethrower to scorch some earth for him.

Then they rioted and now he has to capitulate prematurely.

brazen that even republicans ran for the hills.

It took a few days, and some internal polling for them to find their stance, but it didn't resonate with some of their districts/states either.

Literally, this was a media distraction bomb he whipped out of his arsenal which caused potential collateral damage even the Republicans refused to bear for him.

He was just so used to getting away with whatever corrupt business he was up to that he didn't expect so much blowback when he announced it.

I posted:

I just called him boring and predictable and mentioned if this were an actual reality TV show he'd have been canceled by now for crappy ratings.

CHOKE ARTIST! 🤣🤣🤣 You CHOKED LIKE A DOGGGGGG! What a snowflake.

Will NO ONE think of them and their needs??





( ---just in case...)

Pretty sure it was more a matter of another impeachable offense added to the bonfire. Plus the G7 calling to say "not staying at your shitty hotel".

Which may lead to more down the road when the going gets tougher? Who knows, they're Republicans after all. 😑

FU shit for brains.

He tried a naked money grab and found that the gig is up. He likely looked to Mitch to push his effort over the line and was told to go fuck himself due to Mitch getting more concerned about his own reelection chances.

told him the Senate would consider this a sizable plank laid upon the bridge too far.

The only way he changed his mind is if his lawyers told him their fees only cover the first 1000 impeachable offenses and he had to pay them double for anything over 1000. this was 1001.

He probably got wind through staffing channels that the remaining G6 were going to back out. They don’t want to make things worse for the Americans who don’t want Trump. They’re thinking past our next elections when, hopefully, we’ll elect a Democrat and we can renew relations with our allies.

Bad for business. He doesn't care about the law.

Trump lies about everything.

Link to tweet

What a pathetic little man.

But right now..He has just announced that G7 will not be happening at his house..

Hopefully this one thing IMO will be the beginning of the end with this jerk!!

It's free advertising.

There seems to be a 'you don't have Nixon to throw around anymore' quality to Trump's tweet.

Go Astros and another great series. I don’t have enough time in my life to deal with a shitastic pres and the little pleasures of middle aged life at the same time.

May I suggest an opening reception at the Flora-Bama Lounge? The summit could be held in conjunction with the annual Mullet Toss!

article of impeachment.

But please continue your fantasy of how controlled you are by the Dems. When you are impeached, maybe you will actually believe it and bug out.
