A lot of very good things have happened
Donald Trump has hit back at Barack Obama’s criticism of his administration’s handling of the coronavirus crisis, accusing the former US president of being “grossly incompetent” during his time in office.
It is rare for a former president to rebuke a successor, but Obama did so during an online speech to graduating university and high school students yesterday, although he did not name Trump in his comments.
It’s also rare for a selfish malevolent corrupt greedy racist sexist lazy brainless monster to be president, too.
“More than anything, this pandemic has fully, finally torn back the curtain that so many of the folks in charge know what they’re doing. A lot of them aren’t even pretending to be in charge,” Obama said during an online commencement address to graduates of historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) on Saturday.
On Sunday, Trump said he had not seen Obama’s comments, but added: “Look, he was an incompetent president, that’s all I can say. Grossly incompetent.”
Says the child-man who advised us to administer disinfectant internally and told us the virus would disappear like a miracle.
Trump has faced widespread criticism for his administration’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic, which has killed almost 90,000 people in the US, far higher than any other country in the world.
Picky picky picky.
“So I think we had a great weekend. We did a lot of terrific meetings. Tremendous progress is being made on many fronts, including coming up with a cure for this horrible plague that has beset our country,” said Trump on Sunday. “It was a working weekend, it was a good weekend. A lot of very good things have happened.”
There’s your incompetence right there. That blather of empty adjectives leaves us no way to know if he’s just saying what he thinks will sound good or really telling us a true fact about “coming up with a cure.”
“Doing what feels good, what’s convenient, what’s easy – that’s how little kids think,” Obama said in a second virtual speech on Saturday evening for graduating US high school students. “Unfortunately, a lot of so-called grown-ups, including some with fancy titles and important jobs, still think that way – which is why things are so screwed up.”
Does that not describe Trump? Is there a mistake here?
At least he didn’t say ‘we done a lot’, but even so, to paraphrase Obama from later in the article, that’s how little kids speak.
“It’s also rare for a selfish malevolent corrupt greedy racist sexist lazy brainless monster to be president, too.”
It really isn’t that rare. It’s just unusual to have one be that open about it or be able to be that open about it without suffering any consequences. That says more about the entire republican field and its supporters than merely the president. I can barely type the word.
Acolyte,
Look, maybe YOUR meetings aren’t terrific, but all of Trump’s are. Everything he does is superlative. He had a TREMENDOUS bowel movement this morning, during which he tweeted out some DEVASTATING tweets. Then he pushed the Diet Coke button better than anyone has ever pushed it before. After which he gave Ivanka the LONGEST creepy hug, maybe ever?
