Wise Words From the Mooch

[Trump] can say that he’s not a racist, and I agree with him, okay? And let me explain to you why he’s not a racist, ’cause this is very important. He’s actually worse than a racist. He is so narcissistic, he doesn’t see people as people. He sees them as objects in his field of vision. And so therefore, that’s why he has no empathy. That’s why he’s got his thumb up in the air when he’s taking a picture with an orphan. That’s why when someone’s leaning over the desk and asks [Nobel Prize–winning human rights activist Nadia Murad], “Well, what happened to your family members?”—they were murdered—he just looks at her and says, “Okay, when are we getting coffee here?”

You know, he doesn’t look at people—and by the way, if you and I were in his field of vision and he had a cold and the two of us had to die for him to get a Kleenex, you’re fucking dead. I mean, there’s no chance. You understand that, right?
The most observant point Scaramucci made what if the Republicans don't primary Trump and get him out on their own, they are going to ride the Trump Train into near-oblivion. Fox News has his approval numbers sinking. He currently would lose at landslide levels against four Democrats.

Simply put, Trump's four year strategy of "divide and conquer" isn't working. His past record of divisiveness is so strong that he can't pivot to the middle. Few will buy it. Not to mention that Trump doesn't have the discipline to not be the black-hearted misogynistic and racist crank that he truly is.

Many of the politicians now following Trump will survive, because they'll just find someone or something else to latch onto (looking at you, Miss Lindsey). But some organizations and nations that have clearly bound themselves to Trump may be in real trouble.

Once Trump buys Greenland everything will be just fine.

Hilary would’ve stolen Iceland! She would’ve been worse!

Since you brought it up... Here's a repost from last night:

So Fergus wants to buy Greenland.
I wonder how that conversation went down:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Fergus: Can we get them to throw in Bjork?

Assistant Moron: Bjork is Icelandic, sir.

F: What does that mean?

AM: She is from Iceland, not Greenland.

F: But I thought Greenland was the place with all of the ice.

AM: There certainly is a lot of ice in Greenland, sir, but there is an island called Iceland, and that's where Bjork is from.

F: But there's a lot of ice there, or they wouldn't have called it Iceland, right? And if it's an island, there must be a tremendous amount of water as well. Do they have hurricanes there? Could we get it as a package deal, Bjork and all?

AM: Iceland is a sovereign country, sir. It's not for sale.

F: Could we maybe invade it? Or would the bombs melt all of the ice?

AM:*looking around for something to hang himself with* You'll have to ask the pentagon, sir.

F: Oh good, everyone at the pentagon loves me. Have you noticed that? Everyone there loves me. So they'll be happy when I call them. What was I going to ask them again?

AM: About Bjork, sir.

F: Oh, that's right. Bjork. People tell me that Bjork loves me. She loves me more than any other president. And I always get bigger crowds than her, but people tell me she loves me anyway.

AM:*bites off part of his finger* I think I need a band-aid, sir.

F: Get out of here and don't bleed on the carpet!

AM: I'll try not to, sir.

Don, Jr. or Eric probably got an email from a "Danish prince" offering to sell Greenland.

It'd be fitting, in a way. Greenland was the premier real estate con of the Middle Ages

Leaking information from the Administration suggests that Donnie is getting the economic projections he likes versus reality. They are cherry-picking what they show him, to avoid his ire. Let’s see, who else had his staff so fearful of his temper and reactions that they hid bad news, skewed neutral and passed forward good news, no matter how unlikely or questionable...

...yep, you guessed it.

Now I’m just waiting for a video of Donnie dubbed over the ubiquitous clip from “Der untergang”.

Wondering if Donnie would sell New Amsterdam to the Dutch. I mean, it voted for Hillary...

Then there’s the possible profit from selling California to the Russians and Texas to Mexico.
