Stick A Fork In It: Trump’s Corker ‘Tantrum’ May Have Deep-Sixed Tax Reform, Analyst Says
I love it.
So on Sunday, Donald Trump had two items on his agenda:
send Mike Pence to football game and force him to make a spectacle of himself at tax payers' expense
start a Twitter war with Bob Corker
Both of those efforts failed spectacularly.
The Pence PR stunt was so absurdly transparent that even the conservative media seemed to see through it and Pence didn't help matters by trying to pass off a three-year-old tweet for a brand new picture of him and "mother" cheering
There never was going to be Tax Reform. There MIGHT have been tax shoveling from one set of pockets to another (guess whose pockets would end up fuller???) but that really died months ago with the Trump Administration’s universal ineptitude on Health Whatever It Was. Donald’s frustrated because he can’t scam Congress the way he has most others.
Don’t forget one of his campaign slogans “I love the uneducated”. Which btw explains his base voters. His mistake is continuing to believe that he has fooled everyone and they voted him into office. Of course, we all know that is not exactly correct. His “win” then feeds his monster ego so he ASSumes he will get whatever he wants. His entire life of getting his way from the people who feed off him have helped to create a dangerous monster.
The best and most accurate comment from Corker was “to stop pretending like you don’t know that Trump is out of his mind.” Play these words on a loop every day, all day, to the entire GOP until they take the steps necessary to remove him from office.
The only republicans taking Trump on are those with nothing to lose like Corker and McCain, both of whom are never going to run for senator again. They can afford to say the obvious things honestly, factually and bluntly that others in congress won’t say publicly about Trump. This isn’t “Profiles In Courage.” They have nothing left to lose anymore.
