Will Trump Pull A Nixon And Resign?

By 6 Comments

Donald Trump and Richard Nixon have a lot in common. Trump, like Nixon did, hates to pay taxes. Also like Nixon, Trump hates the press. And, of course, like Tricky Dick, Trump is staring down the barrel of impeachment.

But the two men differ in one important way … unlike Trump, Nixon was not a moron (or a “f-ing moron” as more aptly put by former Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson).

Old Milhous was smart enough to know when to fold the tent and skip town. He could read the writing on the wall. Instead of facing an impeachment trial in the Senate, that was likely to succeed, he resigned from office. OK, it did help Nixon in his decision making that a bunch of influential Republicans told him he had to leave. That has not happened with Trump … yet.

Just within the last 24 hours, two newspapers, The Boston Globe and The Orlando Weekly, have come out with basically the same headline: Forget Impeachment, Trump Needs To Resign.

Today, during an appearance at the Texas Tribune Festival, Beto O’Rourke became the first Democratic presidential candidate to say Donald Trump should resign.

“The best possible path … is for this president to resign, allow this country to heal and ensure that we come back together with the greatest, most ambitious agenda we’ve ever faced, none of it possible while he remains in office,” the former El Paso congressman said during a conversation with MSNBC’s Garrett Haake at The Paramount Theatre in Austin.

No Republican has yet come out asking for Trump’s resignation. And in today’s highly partisan political environment, it is unlikely any will.

But I’m guessing even if Mitch McConnell, or Lindsey Graham or any other Trump enabler sat him down and read him the riot act, Trump would not go.

Trump has already indicated as much. Speaking of Nixon and impeachment, Trump said to Politico this past June, “He left. I don’t leave. A big difference.”

No. No matter how much public opinion, or Republican sentiment, turns against Trump in the coming days, he’s not going anywhere. This is a man who has never been concerned enough, or smart enough, to do the right thing.

Well, unless someone makes him a “beautiful” deal, protecting him and his family for any and all future liability!

No Way To Sugarcoat This … The Man Occupying Our White House Is An Abject Moron

By 4 Comments

Donald Trump may be a lot of things – a racist, a narcissist, a philanderer, a bad businessman – but at his core, he is a total dunderhead.

Our “so-called” president has no sense of time or place. If there’s an opportunity for him to act inappropriately, he’ll seize it with the gusto of a kid let loose in a candy store.

The latest example of how Trump is incapable of acting fittingly under the circumstances occurred just a few days ago in El Paso, Texas.

Instead of having the basic good sense of faking empathy, which the situation called for after 22 people were killed and many wounded by a shooter clearly influenced by Trump’s racist rhetoric, Trump turned the situation into one big photo op.

Rather than trying to console a grieving community, Trump added salt to the wound.

Incredibly, our “so-called” FLOTUS had the bad sense to post, on her Twitter account, the above photo.

This was part of the photo op strategy of Trump visiting patients at the University Medical Center of El Paso who were victims of the gun violence.

It wasn’t learned until sometime after Trump’s visit to the hospital that the victim in the photo, a baby boy who survived the massacre, was not even a patient when Trump showed his face.

The baby, a two-month-old whose parents were killed in the mass shooting shielding their son from the bullets, had been hospitalized and released prior to Thump’s visit. He had to be brought back to the medical center for Trump to pull off his photo op.

Now, anyone with half a brain would not be smiling in a photo with the newly orphaned boy. Nor would he be giving the thumbs up. But when you’re an idiot you just can’t act in any other way.

An interesting side note, the man to the left of Trump is the baby’s uncle, a lifelong Republican. He said he wanted to meet Trump to see if he had “maybe some kind of remorse for statements that he’s made,” presumably the comment about the immigrant “invasion” that the El Paso shooter echoed in his white supremacist manifesto.

Looking at the photo, it’s unlikely the man got the remorse he was looking for from a man with the IQ of a pet rock (my apologies to all the pet rocks out there).

Trump Fails U.S. Citizenship Test

By 2 Comments

According to recent news reports, Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, referred to Trump as a moron.

While Tillerson sought to refute the claim at an impromptu news conference shortly after the story broke, going so far as to refer to his boss as “smart,” he did not specifically deny having called Trump a dumb, stupid moron.

This Tuesday, Trump was quoted by Forbes as saying, “I think it’s fake news, but if he did that, I guess we’ll have to compare IQ tests. And I can tell you who is going to win.”

As of this date, Tillerson has not accepted Trump’s challenge.

Yesterday, a group of recently naturalized citizens issued a challenge of their own to the 45th president of the United States … “Can you pass the U.S. Citizenship Test?”

Trump took the exam and failed miserably, scoring 50% (Six of the ten questions need to be answered correctly to pass).

The self-proclaimed genius has claimed the test was fixed and contained too many trick questions.

Here are the five out of 10 “trick questions” Trump failed to correctly answer:

  1. Who wrote the Declaration of Independence? Instead of answering Thomas Jefferson, Trump answered Abraham Lincoln.
  2. What are the three branches of government? Instead of answering legislative, executive and judicial, Trump answered legislative, executive and military.
  3. Which amendment guarantees freedom of speech? Instead of answering the First Amendment, Trump answered the Second Amendment.
  4. What guarantees a citizen’s right to vote? Instead of answering the Constitution, Trump answered state legislators.
  5. What does separation of church and state mean? Instead of answering the government is prevented from officially recognizing or favoring any religion, Trump answered religion and politics cannot be taught in the same classroom.

According to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, 91% of foreign-born applicants pass the naturalization test. But, in Trump’s defense, they have an unfair advantage … they tend to study.
