Trump sh*t-posting "Q" bullsh*t and Obama "treason" bullsh*t as he heads to Walter Reed

Trump unleashed a torrent of social media posts Tuesday morning before his scheduled trip to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.

The president started his early morning posting spree by sharing a post from the Women For Trump account criticizing former President Barack Obama's nuclear deal with Iran, which was characterized as "sent tons of cash to fund nukes – treason."

He shared other posts praising his deal-making abilities and urging followers to trust him, while another said "stay with me deplorables, you'll love how this movie ends."

Another post from a QAnon-coded supporter featured an AI-generated image of former President Joe Biden wearing pajamas and sleeping at the Resolute Desk as Obama and Hillary Clinton hover behind him, son Hunter Biden snorts cocaine from the desk and a woman partially out of frame signs a document.

There's no "Art," no "Deal." There's just an old man in a diaper gorging on Big Macs & trying to find a way out of Iran.

U.S. military forces have carried out strikes in Iran as President Donald Trump’s peace deal implodes.

The strikes, which officials labeled as “self-defensive,” took place on Monday in southern Iran, attacking missile launch sites and boats that U.S. Central Command said were attempting to emplace mines.

“U.S. forces conducted self-defense strikes in southern Iran today to protect our troops from threats posed by Iranian forces,” CENTCOM spokesman Capt. Tim Hawkins said in a statement to the Daily Beast. The New York Times and Fox News initially reported on the strikes.

"The New York Times put together a graphic of how much time cabinet members spend kissing up to Trump in meetings..."

@RichardHanania
This is amazing.

The New York Times put together a graphic of how much time cabinet members spend kissing up to Trump in meetings.

"On average, at least one of every six sentences either flattered Mr. Trump, gave him credit or criticized his political opponents."

North Korea.

Trump, Transfixed by White House Pillar for Six Minutes.

Trump, 79, Transfixed by White House Pillar for Six Minutes
HELD IN A SPELL
The momentary spell the columns seemed to hold over the president raised questions about whether further changes to the White House are in the works.

Trump appeared absorbed by the White House’s columns on Monday, lingering for several minutes and running his hands along the stonework.

The row of columns framing the White House’s entrance seemed to arrest the 79-year-old president’s attention as he returned from Arlington National Cemetery after delivering a boastful Memorial Day speech.

Trump stepped out of the presidential limo and appeared headed for the White House entrance when he pointed to the base of one of the columns, according to a video posted by NewsNation’s Kellie Meyer.

A separate video posted by Meyer shows the president tracing the bottom of the column with his hands as he appeared to study its details. According to White House press pool reports, Trump spent six minutes outside the entrance before walking inside.

"NOT the ONION"...UFC CEO wants to "add fans around the venue" at Trump's W.H. wrestling event to chase away gnats

This is all happening amid reports of a "bug infestation" that Dana White, UFC CEO and MAGA supporter, has expressed could be a problem for the large-scale event.

"President Trump just opened the Rose Garden two nights ago, and he invited me to dinner there. The amount of gnats that were flying around. I’m like, 'Holy s--t,'" White said during an episode of the Boardroom podcast.

"As soon as I got on the plane, I called my head of production and said, 'Yeah, let me tell you about the gnat situation tonight,'" White said. "So when you’re a fighter, think about that lighting grid, the amount of power in the lights… moths, gnats, and God knows what else."

White said they could add fans surrounding the venue to help stop the bugs because "gnats have a hard time in the wind."

The Atlantic, September 3, 2020: Trump: Americans Who Died in War Are 'Losers' and 'Suckers'

https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2020/09/trump-americans-who-died-at-war-are-losers-and-suckers/615997/

The president has repeatedly disparaged the intelligence of service members, and asked that wounded veterans be kept out of military parades, multiple sources tell The Atlantic.

By Jeffrey Goldberg

September 3, 2020


When President Donald Trump canceled a visit to the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery, near Paris, in 2018, he blamed rain for the last-minute decision, saying that “the helicopter couldn’t fly” and that the Secret Service wouldn’t drive him there. Neither claim was true.

Trump rejected the idea of the visit because he feared his hair would become disheveled in the rain, and because he did not believe it important to honor American war dead, according to four people with firsthand knowledge of the discussion that day. In a conversation with senior staff members on the morning of the scheduled visit, Trump said, “Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers.” In a separate conversation on the same trip, Trump referred to the more than 1,800 marines who lost their lives at Belleau Wood as “suckers” for getting killed.

Belleau Wood is a consequential battle in American history, and the ground on which it was fought is venerated by the Marine Corps. America and its allies stopped the German advance toward Paris there in the spring of 1918. But Trump, on that same trip, asked aides, “Who were the good guys in this war?” He also said that he didn’t understand why the United States would intervene on the side of the Allies.

Trump’s understanding of concepts such as patriotism, service, and sacrifice has interested me since he expressed contempt for the war record of the late Senator John McCain, who spent more than five years as a prisoner of the North Vietnamese. “He’s not a war hero,” Trump said in 2015 while running for the Republican nomination for president. “I like people who weren’t captured.”

John Bolton: Iran sees Trump is desperate to end his war, and they're playing him. TAKE IT BACK! TAKE IT BACK, DAMN YOU!

The worst part of this, of course, is that Congressional Republicans know just as much as the average Iranian, but they are so terrified of Trump that their only recourse is to praise his "bold and decisive leadership."



Former National Security Advisor John Bolton warned on Monday that Iran can sense how "desperate" President Donald Trump is to secure a deal that its leaders are "playing him."

Bolton told CNN anchor Pamela Brown that as negotiations drag on, Tehran has sensed Trump's weaknesses — and that the president might not fully understand Iran's level of "fanaticism of what's left of the regime and the people who are in power." Bolton argued that Trump's worldview throughout his life has been that he can negotiate with anyone, and that's not the case with this military conflict and adversary.

"He thinks everybody wants to make a deal on just about anything," Bolton said. "That's not what these people are into. And they can see that Trump is so palpably desperate to have a deal that he can declare to be a victory and it lowers prices of gasoline —and they're playing him on that. They're stretching him out. They're buying time. All of that works in their advantage."
