Exactly. Trump has a VERY long history of reneging his "deals". Why anyone would even think of making a deal with him is beyond me.

Trump is a sociopath who was set up and used by Putin, who is also a sociopath. The difference is, one them is intelligent and the other stunningly stupid. The stupid one is easily manipulated by the smart one.

@nitpicking
Of course he wanted the deal. It was a shakedown. It's what mob bosses do. Then later he'd renege...just like he's done in every deal he's made in the past.

The MAGA morons are devoted to Trump because they think he's a tough guy...but he only talks tough. We just witnessed what a genuine tough guy looks like, and does so without bluster and bullshit.

@GottaLaff

I didn't think my esteem for Zelensky could get any higher, but it just did. He's standing up to two tyrants... Putin and Trump.

@GottaLaff

My immediate thought was, why the hell was this meeting/negotiation done publicly? Then I realized, oh, yeah...this is Trump. He figured doing this publicly would intimidate #Zelensky into going along with that ridiculous deal. Trump just can't read the room because he always sucks out all the oxygen. This is the most courageous leader in history. If he can't be intimidated by Putin, he surely won't be by this fucking moron.

@GottaLaff
It's the fault of the previous administration...somehow.

@GottaLaff
Well, course he did. The Sun rises in the East, water runs downhill, and Trump blames his fuck ups on Biden. It's the natural order of things.

I figured you'd want to see this:

And so it begins, a MAGA jihad launched against Garry Trudeau, undoubtedly initiated by Trump. As you know, this jihad is something I know all too well.

President Trump said on Wednesday that the federal government should take over Washington, D.C., wading into the decades-old and divisive issue of how the nation’s capital is run.

“I think we should govern District of Columbia,” Mr. Trump told reporters on Air Force One. “I think that we should run it strong, run it with law and order, make it absolutely flawlessly beautiful.”

"WE", of course, meaning, "I should run it".

Wishful thinking vs. reality:

"Sotomayor Says Presidents Are Not Monarchs and Must Obey Rulings"

"She had faith, she said, “that other actors in the system, whether it’s Congress or others, will follow the law, because it’s what we all take an oath of office to do.”

Headline:

"Venezuelans backed Trump. Now some worry he’ll deport them."

The list of groups with buyer's remorse in voting for Trump continues to grow.

This #NonSequitur was written and drawn before Trump was sworn into office. Not a difficult prediction.

"President Donald Trump announced Thursday morning that he would sign an executive order to create a new task force to “eradicate anti-Christian bias.”

What they're really trying to eradicate is people pointing the glaring hypocrisy of people who call themselves a Christian while they practice the polar opposite of Christianity.

"Trump, Musk wage two-front war as donor does president’s ‘dirty work’

Trump views Musk as doing the task he assigned him, and that he benefits from letting someone else take the heat for drastic and controversial measures."

For years, republicans have gone on and on about a mythical "Deep State" without ever providing any evidence of its existence, so now they've gone ahead and created it.

@GottaLaff

Remember how MSM poo-pooed this notion as hysterical nonsense that this is exactly what they were going to do if Trump got elected?

@GottaLaff

The next step was going to be Trump telling the Columbian government if they didn't agree, the people being deported would "sleep with the fishes".

Did this 15 years ago, and it's going to be relevant again shortly.

@GottaLaff

Breaking, How-Could-We-Have-Known?, News...

MSM is shocked...SHOCKED!...that President Trump is doing every horrific thing that candidate Trump said he was going to do.

Stay tuned for oblivious updates.
