6/15/19: Ordinary praise will not suffice. For President Trump, only superlatives will do. And when superlatives are lacking there’s one man that Trump can count on to supply his needs.
Trump raves about Trump.
In a phone interview on Fox & Friends, the president assures the three hosts that during his trip to Great Britain, Queen Elizabeth loved him. “I have such a great relationship, and we were laughing and having fun. And her people said she hasn’t had so much fun in 25 years [emphasis added]. Then I got criticized for it because they said we were having too much fun.”
The Mirror, a British newspaper, scoffed at the idea:
The 45th US President also said he had a “great relationship”
with Prince Charles despite accidentally calling him the ‘Prince of Whales’ in
a now deleted tweet.
“It doesn’t matter, but we have a great relationship and I had a
great relationship with Charles, and honestly I have a very good relationship
with a lot of the foreign leaders,” he added.
(See: 6/8/19.)
Trump does have a great relationship with a lot of foreign leaders, just not so much with leaders of our allies. Putin loves him. The Saudis like Trump because he doesn’t care when they carve up journalists. Kim Jong-un sends the president “beautiful letters.” So does Xi Jinping of China. He’s the same guy Trump complimented after Xi convinced the Communist Party to make him president for life. “I think it’s great,” Trump said on hearing the news. “Maybe we’ll give that a shot someday,” he told fans at Mar-a-Lago last March.
The
president seems enamored of the idea that, like Xi, he might rule forever. Last
month, he and his supporters floated the bizarre notion that
maybe he should get two extra years in office because the Russia probe had
“stolen” his time so far.
Now a pair
of presidential tweets should make the danger of his thinking clear to all.
The man wants to crush the free press and rule
forever in all his fat, orange, nitwitted glory.

NOT ALL MEXICANS who come to this country want to rape and kill and join gangs and terrorize old white people who love Donald J. Trump. Twin brothers, Octavio and Omar Viramontes, came with their family to this country at age 10, and once devoted their days to picking grapes in California vineyards.
Today, they both graduated from medical school. Octavio gets his doctorate
from Harvard, Omar from UCLA Medical school.
