Worst president ever.
Mr. President, thank you. Um, the mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey, is saying that he’s actually proud to have the largest Somali community in the country. And his police chief,
he’s a fool.
Well, his police chief is also saying,
I wouldn’t be proud to have the largest Somalian. Look at their nation. Look how bad their nation is. It’s not even a nation. It’s just a people walking around killing each other. Look, uh, these Somalians have taken billions of dollars out of our country. They’ve taken billions and billions of dollars. They have a representative, Ilhan Omar, who they say married her brother. [Not true]It’s a fraud. She tries to deny it now, but you can’t really deny it because, you know, just happened. She shouldn’t be allowed to be a congresswoman.[Why? Because she’s black and a member of the opposition party?] And I’m sure people are looking at that. And she should be thrown the hell out of our country. And most of those people, man, they have destroyed Minnesota.[Cool. I’m looking out my window at the snow coming down. Doesn’t seem to be destroyed] Okay, Minnesota, you have an incompetent governor. You have a crooked governor. He’s crooked as hell, but he’s incompetent. [no evidence given]
Uh Waltz is he’s should be ashamed. That beautiful land, that beautiful state, it’s a hell hole right now. [I don’t know about that. I kind of like it here] And the Somalians should be out of here. They’ve destroyed our country. And all they do is complain, complain, complain. [Isn’t that what Donald is doing here?] You have her. She’s always talking about the Constitution provides me with uh go back to your own country and figure out your constitution. [She’s an American citizen, she is talking about her constitution. Donald just doesn’t like the American constitution] All she does is complain about this country and without this country she would not be in very good shape. She probably wouldn’t be alive right now. So Somalia is considered by many [When a student hands in an essay with this kind of vague handwaving and evidence free claim, I fail them] to be the worst country on earth. I don’t know. I’ve I haven’t been there. I won’t be there anytime soon. I hope. But uh what Somalia what the Somalian people have done to Minnesota is is not even believable. It’s not even believable. [Correct. What the president says about Minnesota is not believable] And a lot of it starts with the governor. A lot of it starts with Barack Hussein and Obama because that’s when people started coming in. And you have to have people come in that are going to love our country, cherish our country. They want to kiss our country good night. They talk about our country. We want them to pray for our country. This is not the people living in Minnesota. And she’s a disaster. She should not be and her friends shouldn’t be allowed. Frankly, they shouldn’t even be allowed to be Congress people. Okay? They shouldn’t even be allowed to be Congress people because they don’t represent the interests of our country. [She represents my interests well. Trump? Not so much] Anybody else? There you are.
That’s just appalling. He just rambles on lying, and dumbass people accept it.
Are the Washington press corps going to just stand there and take it? Trump needs to be deposed and leave office immediately.
When I hear streams of shit dribbling out of his mouth like that, when he attacks people like Ilhan Omar (or Sadiq Khan, his other brown-person target this week) with flat-out lies just because he’s a pig-ignorant, racist, Islamophobic bucket-o’-hate, I wonder why the US doesn’t have any effective libel laws. Or, if you do prefer to have totally free speech, then at least make duelling legal once more. A cowardly bully like Trump would never dare open his mouth if he knew someone would challenge him and slam a sabre point down his lying throat.
Strong words for someone who (allegedly) gave Bill Clinton a BJ.
Don’t you just feel the love oozing from his words? Or maybe it’s syphilis, it’s hard to tell.
i’m sure everyone is just taking his words out of context…
Dontcha see? “People” started coming in thanks to those plucky dudes, Barack Hussein and Obama.
PZ said – That’s just appalling. He just rambles on lying, and dumbass people accept it.
That is what burns my ass. His racist followers love his spiel, none of them own enough gray matter to make humane decisions. They focus on his racist misogynist schoolyard rants and ignore all the important stuff he is fucking up. I have to wonder how much pain they need to endure before they realize their rights and freedoms are being gradually taken away and given to the top 1%.
Always appalled to never NEVER here a chorus of “that’s a lie” from the press corps.
nomdeplume, ahem.

Fact check: 10 debunked lies Donald Trump has repeated in the last week alone
By Daniel Dale
—
Obs, it’s purely performative. He said much the same about Mamdani, then gushed over him later.
His followers mostly know it’s basically bullshit, but they like the performance and they like needling the ‘libs’. Part of the strategy of flooding the zone.
@8 Yes John, I meant reacting to his face, not fact-checking later. I know any journalist that did it would be banned from the WH, but a chorus of journalists would be effective. And do his followers realise it is basically bullshit? I’ve seen no sign of that in the last 10 years.
“Look how bad their nation is. It’s not even a nation. It’s just a people walking around killing each other.”
Isn’t that what he is turning the US into?
nomdeplume, you gotta remember they make the rules, and norms and proprieties are deprecated.
The more that happens, the less access genuine journos get, and the more for MAGA news media.
Collective punishment is one of their techniques, both stick and carrot.
End of the day, the press media is basically profit-driven, not ethically-driven.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt previewed on Tuesday that the Trump administration would determine which outlets have access to the president as part of the pool allowed into the Oval Office, aboard Air Force One and into other meetings and events that cannot accommodate the full press corps.

The Associated Press says that a new White House media policy violates a court order by giving the administration sole discretion over who gets to question President Donald Trump, and the news agency asked a federal judge on Wednesday to enforce that order.
The swift move was in response to a policy issued late Tuesday by the White House, which suffered a courtroom loss last week over The Associated Press’ ability to cover Trump. The plans, the latest attempt by the new administration to control coverage of its activities, sharply curtail the access of three news agencies that serve billions of readers around the world.

Not literally extortion, but, well, see how Paramount paid him $16M to ‘settle’ a worthless lawsuit (and to get approval for a merger).

etc.
No one spends a lot of time calling out Trump’s lies because it isn’t news any more. No one expects him to ever tell the truth.
It’s so well known, it isn’t worth noting.
Trump told 31,000 lies during his first term. I’m sure he is on track to surpass this, his second term.
Who can keep up with this and why would anyone want to?
We only pay attention to his lies when they are going to directly affect us.
PZ lives in Minnesota.
I’m sure the people in the hellscape that was once Portland Oregon are paying attention and wondering why the place still looks the same and how they survived the fires and bombings without even noticing them.
And, he has ordered the Department of Justice (laughably misnamed) to keep a list of enemies of MAGA and Antifas (which don’t exist). I’m sure I’m on it by now. I managed to get on the first enemies list during the Nixon regime. They won’t even have to start an FBI file. I already have one.
Somalia can’t be considered the worst country on earth, by anyone, because you’re not their president.
We went through this last time with some places that were “shithole” countries, didn’t we?
Let’s put this to rest conclusively: no country can be worse than a country that you’re the president of. Q.E.D.
He seems to be on a streak of criticism.
Trump criticises ‘decaying’ European countries and ‘weak’ leaders
As Dire Straits once sang, “When you point your finger ’cause your plan fell through,
you got three more fingers, pointing back at you.“
Whose’s plan has ‘fallen through’?
cf. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAh-xEteBz4
Globes, atlases, encyclopedias (remember them?) including wikipedia say otherwise. As does well, reality. Indeed even Trump continues to then repeatedly call Somalia a country in that excerpt contradicting himself yet again.
Maybe Ilhan Omar should note that a lot of people say he’s fucking his daughter?
Also can’t she sue him for defamation / libel / slander for that? Or at least sue the other people who made up that bullshit? given that this POTUS is apparently officially above the law.
The sort of hate directed at Omar has already led to violent physical attacks as well as death threats against her :
Source : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilhan_Omar#Death_threats_and_harassment
This sort of thing is serious and needs to be addressed but, well, modern USoA under the Trump tyranny..
Good name for a legal firm?
Isn’t it time – long overdue – that Trump was removed from office for his evident mental incompetence to serve?
Alien Super Show has some fun Trump commentary from two weeks back.
