Almost a last ditch Reichstag moment from Trump in his departure. We can only thank god he had the ineptitude of filthy rich person who had never really been tested in his life.

Yes, Kirk, that's quite the automotive clusterf**k... 🤥

As for the Reichstag moment feared by General Milley, Trump said today that, "If I had planned a coup, I wouldn't have done it with General Milley."

This reminds of the case of the woman who accused Trump of groping her on an airline flight back in the day.

Trump's defense was, "If I was going to grope someone, it wouldn't have been HER."

And, incredibly, Trump's adoring fans accepted the argument!

Trump's GOP enablers know just what's coming

Opinion by Julian Zelizer, CNN Political Analyst Thu July 15, 2021

https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/15/opinions/mccarthy-and-gop-know-just-whats-coming-from-trump-zelizer/index.html

“The way that Trump acted as president fit into well-established patterns of who he was during his days as a controversial, media savvy real estate mogul in New York and as a reality show star who used his platform to, for example, question the birthplace of the nation's first African American president (a claim he later retracted.) Unlike the outsider Jimmy Carter in 1976, for instance, Trump was a well-known commodity. All someone had to do was listen to him demonstrate his values in appearances on the Howard Stern Show or read the New York Post to understand what "The Donald" was all about.

Of course, now the record is even more extensive. There is the entire history of his presidency, during which he was quite transparent about the rules of the office that he thought to be irrelevant to his personal success, and the lengths to which he was willing to go in political combat.”

 

“Yet there is enough solid reporting already, combined with the public record, to make clear his views about presidential power. If Trump decides to run again, and Republicans coalesce around him -- with unshakeable and obsequious loyalty -- as the head of their establishment, there shouldn't be room for them to claim how taken aback they are about the things he might be willing to do.

A vote for Trump is a vote for potentially unbridled presidential power. It is a conscious decision by a party that claims to champion small government to embolden a Commander-in-Chief who is eager to use that power -- without checks and without balances.”

Trump's tantrum over British Open offers another window into his soullessness

Ray Hartmann July 18, 2021

https://www.rawstory.com/trump-tantrum-british-open-turnberry/

- Donald J. Trump -

"As almost all of the great players, sportscasters, and golf aficionados know, the greatest site and course of all for The Open is Turnberry, in Scotland, It is truly a magical place, the players want to be there, and at some point in time the players will be there," Trump continued. "But this course was not chosen for The Open because they consider a wonderful person, and many-time Club Champion, named Donald J. Trump, to be too controversial—this is, of course, a false reputation caused mainly by the Fake News Media. It is a shame that the phenomenal Turnberry Golf links, the best in the World, sits empty during Open Championships, while far lesser courses are on display. Oh well, life proceeds forward! Someday The Open will be back at Turnberry,"

 

“Rick Reilly wrote the book on this subject -- Commander in Cheat: How Golf Explains Trump -- in which he brilliantly lays out how Trump's lying and cheating at golf inform who he is.

One of Reilly's prime exhibits was Trump's repeated claim that he has won 18 golf club championships, a bogus claim the author blows up in painstaking detail, one lie at a time. Turns out the actual number is zero, Trump's recent email notwithstanding.

As Reilly noted, "So here was Trump caterwauling about 18 golf championships that were faker than Cheez Whiz...”
