Trump Continues Attack on Dem Congresswomen: ‘I Don’t Believe’ They’re ‘Capable of Loving Our Country’

By Ken MeyerJul 21st, 2019, 8:45 am

Once again, President Donald Trump is going on the offensive against Congresswomen Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, and Ayanna Pressley.

As Trump comes off a week of controversy for his racist tweets and the “send her back” chants at his most recent campaign rally, he is again calling the four representatives “weak & insecure people” who are incapable of loving America.




The president also took aim at Washington Post over a report released on Saturday that described how his remarks caused an firestorm for Trumpworld as his friends and allies tried to do damage control after his initial “go back” tweets. The report says the Trump Campaign was “caught off guard” by his remarks, plus it described a litany of named and unnamed GOP figures trying to find ways to deal with the fallout from the chants.




And finally there’s this:

It should never not be mentioned at every opportunity that the "president" is a loathsome piece of racist shit and the integrity of the office itself is being dragged down into hell by him occupying it.

I only see ONE person perseverating on this subject this week, and it's the weak, insecure, demented, bloated orange clown in the White House. He so desperately is trying to keep the nation from talking about his long-time connections to molestation and pedophilia.

Trump has always been Trump. It didn’t get in the way of him getting elected the first time and it won’t the next time. Democrats need to talk about other issues.

My money is on his response being “love of me”. The journalists need to ask him what love of country means to him.

Trump loves only one thing: himself. Well, maybe two things, if you include Ivanka, although in that case "lust" would probably be more suitable.

His racist attacks on the four congresswomen are just meat he throws out for his brain-dead supporters. Racism is what got him into the White House (with a lot of help from the Russians), and unless the Democrats can provide a strong, positive message that will draw voters to the polls, racism will get him re-elected.



BTW, "The Simpsons" predicted a Trump presidency in 2000. About that prophetic episode, writer Dan Greaney said: "That just seemed like the logical last stop before hitting bottom. It was pitched because it was consistent with the vision of America going insane."

My county voted for Trump. It also voted for Rothfus over Lamb and, surprisingly, Wolf over Wagner for Gov.

But today, here are the editor's titles of LTTE's from the local Sunday newspaper:

Rally chants foreshadow dark chapter in US history
Read the Mueller report to get facts
GOP has no use for you if it can’t profit from you
Follow simple logic of Trump’s racism
Socialism virtues are equal sharing of miseries
Fearful of a Trump re-election

Since the 4th of July, there have been a grand total of 2 LTTEs supporting Trump.

Trump believes "L'etat, c'est moi," equating himself with America.

Members of Trump's cult of personality identify themselves, on whatever level, with the president.

Ergo, Trump's message is, "If these non-white women criticize me, they hate you and America!"

And the fools believe it.

he's only talking about himself. Folks this is very dangerous rhetoric, not only for the members of congress to whom he is referring, but as well for anyone who disagrees. We are in very dangerous times. Anyone who still thinks are answer is just an election away should really start paying attention.

Trump claims to have packed 20,000 people into his latest Nazi rally. It was at the basketball arena at East Carolina University. That facility only holds 8000 people - and it had empty seats.

Now, I understand President Welansky doesn't care about things like life safety...but even if he packed the playing floor and had people suspended from the rafters in parachute harnesses, there's no way he's going to get 20,000 people in a gymnasium that seats 40 percent of that.

with stiff fines for exceeding it. Insurance companies frown on it big-time as well.

Of course, that does not mean they didn't carelessly break the rules.

Bottom line is: tRump and the GOP are compulsive liars.........

Because I don't believe he's capable of ever telling the truth, and uses lies like this to accuse others he feels threatened by , and to divert attention with. His career is a lie , and now he starts these accusations away from his Russia and Epstein issues he's desperate to change the news cycle.

That Trump is capable of uttering a sentence that is both true and comprehensible.

He's probably made a few comments or observations that were true at one time or another, but the way he structures his speech would have confused the hell out of anyone listening.

But when he is speaking properly in full sentences, that is when he is lying the most. Afterall, if he wants people to believe his lies, he needs to spell it out clearly for them.

Don't know who it is, but this particular author writes many of his more readable Tweets but the style is unmistakable: poor punctuation (commas galore), overuse of caps and poor syntax.

These things read like something a speech writer would compose for a loud-mouth like tRump......

All these messages have one purpose: the gaslighting of each and every Democrat that speaks their mind against him and we will note that most everything the Tweets say is the exact opposite of the truth.

It's also called throwing shade because as many others have said, tRump loves nothing other than himself.....

This tweet has a great deal to do with race. Trump made this tweet because these women are women of color.
