February 5, 2018: President Trump Believes if You Don't Love Him, You Don't Love This Country

 

2/5/18: Trump loves to talk about all the stock market gains since he took over. But today the market bombs, dropping 1,175 points. This forces the president to fall back on his other favorite tweeting topic: Insults! 

One tweet allows him to call five people liars. What are all five lying about? The Russian investigation: 

Little Adam Schiff, who is desperate to run for higher office, is one of the biggest liars and leakers in Washington, right up there with Comey, Warner, Brennan and Clapper! Adam leaves closed committee hearings to illegally leak confidential information. Must be stopped!

THE U.S. SUPREME COURT allows a ruling by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court to stand.

In that decision judges ruled a gerrymandered map drawn by Republicans “clearly, plainly and palpably” violated the state constitution. 

That map allowed the party to capture 13 of 18 U.S. House seats in 2012, even though Democrats polled 2.7 million votes to 2.5 million for Republicans.

TRUMP TOPS off another busy day with a campaign-style rally in Cincinnati. In another rambling talk, he complains about the response of Democratic lawmakers during his recent State of the Union Address. He’s mad because when he said, “you have the lowest black unemployment in the history of our country,” all the Democrats didn’t rise and applaud like an audience at a Kim Jong-un speech.

Trump looked at the lawmakers’ faces. Dead silence from the Democratic side of the aisle. “Not a smile,” he said. “Half the room is going totally crazy,” he told his audience, but the other side was giving off nothing but “bad energy.” 

You’re up there, you’ve got half the room going totally crazy wild, they loved everything, they want to do something great for our country, and you have the other side even on positive news, really positive news like that, they were like death and un-American. Un-American.

 

Trump hears someone shout, hesitates and points out at the crowd. 

“Somebody said treasonous,” he says and shrugs. “I mean, yeah, I guess, why not. Can we call that treason? Why not? I mean they certainly didn’t seem to love our country very much.” 

Trump seems to believe that if you don’t love him, you don’t love your country. His fans seem to agree.

 

BLOGGER’S NOTE: Looking back, near the end of the Trump presidency, it’s clear. This was the template for his four years in office. His political opponents, critics, and voters who disapproved of his performance didn’t love the country. His political allies, media pals, and voters who approved did. They were great Americans.
