Das Konig Trumpf, aka the Orange King marches on - unbelievable!

On Sunday’s  March 29^th press briefing journalist Yamiche Alcindor, of PBS,  asked King Trumpf about his statement that governors are asking for things that they don’t need. King Trumpf interrupted: “I didn’t say that.”

“You said it on Sean Hannity’s Fox News,” Alcindor replied.

“Why don’t you act in—a little more positive?” Das Konig asked. And then he continued: “Look, let me tell you something: be nice. Don’t be threatening.” He kept trying to shut her up and of course never answered her question. 

Ooooh - soooo presidential!

Das Trumpf wants governors, and reporters, to butter  him up, (kneeling comes next) if they want his help. .On Friday, March 27,  he said  governors don’t deserve his attention if they aren’t “appreciative” (“If they don’t treat you right, I don’t call”). He stated that he told Half Pence not to call Gov. Jay Inslee, of Washington or Gov. Gretchen Whitmer; he called Whitmer  “the woman in Michigan.”  CNN’s Jeremy Diamond asked him about these ‘governor’ statements, and was attacked, with King Trumpf’s usual refrain about CNN reporting “fake news.” The King explained he was only demanding gratitude for his entire team, not just for himself……(ho ho ho) “I want them to appreciate the incredible job we’re doing.”

I’m so terrified that the King and his minions will find a way to mess up the November elections. Das Konig is nervous about reelection I’m sure and the provisions to safeguard voting the Democrats tried to attach to the stimulus bill evoked more tantrums via tweeting. He was extremely pissed about the Dems asking for more polling locations, allow mail-in voting, etc.  King Trumpf believes that making sure people can vote is “crazy.” The King said if we took these safeguard steps (which means providing adequate funding), “you’d never have a Republican elected in this country again.”    

Wow – does that mean we wouldn’t be able to enjoy centuries of Cornyn, Graham, McConnell ruling the land, lining their pockets?

And the final Covid-19 straw: my state’s idiot Lt. Governor Dan Patrick  said that the elderly should be willing to die to help the economy.

But why does that surprise me? Ageism is  pervasive in the U.S. Getting older is apparently not on anyone’s agenda – until they’ve arrived.
