The Media's Portrayal of Trump and His Presidency

Trump lies

 

 

What's your point?

 

Trump doesn't lie. He spews.

 

"Lies" implies there's some relation to facts, even if an overwhelmingly contrary one. I don't think Trump would know a fact if it bit him on the ass. Ergo, he can't "lie," he can only spout random statements unconnected from reality.

This is the kind of thing parents say about their especially impetuous 2 & 3 year olds.

Is that supposed to be an argument against what I said? That is the kind of thing psychologists specializing in cognitive development say about 2 & 3 year olds.

 

Doesn't make it wrong. Just makes Trump a toddler.

No, I'm agreeing with you. But at the same time, it's worth mentioning that if we are treating Trump as a toddler, than there's a case to be for not having him sit at the grown up table when grown up things are being discussed.

I admit the validity of your statement, while simultaneously expressing my preference for having a toddler as president, as an object civics lesson in the dangers of consolidated authoritarian power in a single executive office.

I hear you and I get your point. It just scares me because it seems like a badly written sit-com type of solution. I mean, there’s a reason you don’t let Gilligan fix the coconut radio. Sure, it would be great if the Skipper and the Professor could get on the same page and get something done, but as Deranged Rhino will point out, none of it matters as long as Mr. Howell is pulling all the strings behind the scenes anyway. (the mofo's probably selling blowdarts to the headhunters on the sly).

I never really thought it about it that way, and you know what? This is exactly what he does :lol:

So we're living in an episode of Gilligan's Island? Yeah, that's about right.
