Rat shan’t visit party
So all last weekend Donald was fuming about Comey’s “mild nausea” at the possibility that his blather about Clinton’s emails might have affected the election – yet today, always resilient, always willing to think the whole world adores him, he was planning to visit the FBI to give them a nice morale boost…until he found out that they don’t love him all that much. He’s not a quick study, is he.
The White House has abandoned the idea of President Trump visiting FBI headquarters after being told he would not be greeted warmly, administration officials told NBC News.
Amid the continuing fallout over his decision to fire FBI Director James Comey, Trump was considering an appearance at the FBI’s J Edgar Hoover Building in downtown Washington, DC. The White House publicly floated the idea as recently as Thursday morning.
Spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders, asked by a reporter whether such a visit was imminent, replied, I believe that it’s very likely that takes place sometime in the next few days.”
But that idea was dropped later Thursday, administration officials said, after the FBI told the White House the optics would not be good. FBI officials made clear that the president would not draw many smiles and cheers, having just unceremoniously sacked a very popular director.
Here’s the thing, Donnie. You’re an asshole. You’re the biggest asshole many of us have ever seen. You’re horrible in almost every way there is to be horrible. A few people must have told you this by now. You don’t seem to take it in.
“You’re an asshole. You’re the biggest asshole many of us have ever seen. You’re horrible in almost every way there is to be horrible.”
Put this way, with few polysyllabic words, he might actually be able to read this. Might I suggest someone skywriting this over/near one of his rallies? An open-air one would of course be preferable. At this point the Secret Service might not be too fussy about strict maintenance of airspace rules and regulations.
Maybe someone on CNN could read it on air. The NYT could put it in an End of The World Size front page headline. We know that he watches/looks at those two sources.
An alternative would be to have it tattooed on his forehead in reverse. There are enough unflattering, embarrassing leaks within his “administration” that are indicative of the presence of at least some people close to him who hate his guts. A little training with an ink gun and voila, message delivered. Indelibly.
Problem is with any of these, Trump would think you’re talking about someone else.
This isn’t surprising in the least, of course. The core of a narcissist’s being is the belief that they are lovable, and loved by all. They’re insecure in the sense that they seek constant reassurance on that point, but nevertheless they believe it consistently and act accordingly.
It’s utterly commonplace for a narcissist to do something horrible to someone, and then try to schmooze them as if a bit of face time with their abuser is just what they need to cheer them right up. Because the narcissist knows they love them, see? And their presence is so delightful that it will make everyone forget the fucking-over they just received. (Not to mention that nothing they do is their fault, so therefore the fucking-over had nothing to do with the narcissist.)
In the Cheeto-Benito’s case:
* I only fired Comey because the Deputy Attorney General recommended it, so don’t blame me.
* I was going to fire Comey, recommendation or no recommendation, because he was no good.
* Everyone hates Comey, so everyone is going to be so pleased with me!
* Everyone loves me, so it doesn’t matter what they thought of Comey.
Those sound like contradictions, but they’re not. Each is just a different way of saying that Trump is the hero whom we all love and admire. Every way you slice it, everyone loves the Marmalade Messiah!
Slightly o/t, but when did ‘optics’ become synonymous with ‘impression’?
AoS, ever since it became cooler to speak jargon rather than English and seem like you are a far sighted visionary using language associated with astronomers, snipers or fricking laser beams…
“Here’s the thing, Donnie. You’re an asshole. You’re the biggest asshole many of us have ever seen. You’re horrible in almost every way there is to be horrible. ”
Best thing I’ve read all day. Thank you.
