You know how Donald Trump is a petty, thin-skinned narcissist who freaks out whenever he’s not the center of attention? Well, he’s super-mad that the Democrats are throwing their virtual convention this week. Just FYI – even in contentious presidential races, most opposing candidates simply go dark and try not to make news during the other candidate’s convention. It’s that simple, it’s just a matter of respect for the process, that each candidate knows that the other person has a right to have all of the attention for a handful of days every four years. Trump can’t stand it though. He spent Monday evening and Tuesday morning rage-tweeting about all kinds of sh-t.
….My Administration and I built the greatest economy in history, of any country, turned it off, saved millions of lives, and now am building an even greater economy than it was before. Jobs are flowing, NASDAQ is already at a record high, the rest to follow. Sit back & watch!

This is actually one of the very few times Trump has even referenced Michelle Obama on Twitter or anywhere else. He barely said anything about her in 2016, and in the years since, he’s saved his rage for Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. I’ve always wondered why he’s so scared to attack MO. My opinion: Trump is afraid that MO would wipe the floor with him with ease and somewhere in his lizard brain, he knows he wouldn’t “win.” Even in these tweets, he’s not actually attacking MO, he’s just lying about his own sh-tty record and acting slimy about BO’s record.
The ObamaBiden Administration was the most corrupt in history, including the fact that they got caught SPYING ON MY CAMPAIGN, the biggest political scandal in the history of our Country. It’s called Treason, and more. Thanks for your very kind words Michelle!

???? Was he watching Fox News when he tweeted this?
The real mindf–k tweet happened last night though:
SAVE THE POST OFFICE!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 17, 2020
He is the one destroying the USPS and he’s gaslighting all of us. Poorly.
What else? Trump retweeted some Russian propaganda about Biden, which should surprise absolutely zero people. I still believe that Russia probably has people INSIDE Trump’s campaign (just like last time) and they’re probably installed at the Pentagon and State Department too.
And finally, Marco Rubio argued that Democrats are bad because they included celebrities in their convention. Rubio, who serves a game show president. Rubio, who spoke after Clint Eastwood yelled at a chair at the 2012 RNC. (Also, Eva Longoria has been involved with the Democratic Party as a fundraiser, women’s rights advocate, reproductive rights advocate, Latinx-outreach and GOTV campaigner for more than a decade.)
Brilliant move! No one is more in touch with the challenges & obstacles faced by everyday Americans than actors & celebrities. https://t.co/nzHOniMHPN

What, did Rubio asked out Eva and she laughed in his face, or what???
He is such a spineless.
The Twitter replies wiped the floor with him on that one! I just want to ask him, how are you not so ashamed that you disappear forever.
Marco can STFU and TAKE ALL THE SEATS.
Eva actually has a graduate degree in Chicano studies from Cal State.
I remember reading about her attending classes after Desperate Housewives ended, and I really admire that about her as I also hold a masters in a political discipline. She studied hard and walks the walk. I will NOT tolerate any criticism of her activism.
Actually, I’m an Eva super fan lol and she earned it while still shooting DH which is even more impressive! She has been an activist for at least 15 years and I liked that the sane people on Twitter were recognizing that, of course anyone who supports the orange wannabe dictator doesn’t value continuing education and would mock her for it!
I remember Eva on The Young and the Restless when she was married to her first husband (Nikolas from General Hospital). No one comes for Eva!
Apparantly the RNC is having the two nut job lawyers from St. Louis speak at their convention. Don’t be fooled Trump said he is pardoning some one very important today and Roger Stone dropped his bid to get his conviction over turned right after Trump made the pardon announcement.
It turned out to be Susan B. Anthony! Gee thanks Donald.
Thanks, hadn’t heard.
Everyone knows not to mess with Michelle. That woman is smart as a whip and beloved by most of America. Attacking her directly is political suicide.
What Trump means when he says Obama’s administration was corrupt is that Obama is black. I guess I’m naive but I didn’t realize how many republicans felt the same. I hope our country can put this shameful period behind us after the election, but i worry that this racism and hate will continue to lurk below the surface, even if Biden wins.
It’s because they aren’t able to make it to the top honestly, so that must mean that a black man has to get there dishonestly using even more corrupt methods.
They never considered that Obama is just 100 times better a man and human than they ever will be. And that’s why they hate seeing any minority succeed. It’s a reminder that these dumpling looking politicians are not superior unless they are cheating and lying. Just ugly inside and out.
Rubio’s just jealous all they can get are Scott Baio and Ted Nugent.
THIS.
Plus that middle aged “rock kid” who tries to hide his wealthy upbringing.
hey, don’t knock Antonio Sabato Jr and the Duck Dynasty guys. BIG NAMES!
at this point, anyone still intent on voting for Trump is not going to change their mind. it is pointless, tiring and depressing to try.
You can’t change the minds of brainwashed people.
Eva Longoria’s masters thesis title “Success STEMS From Diversity: The Value of Latinas in STEM Careers”. So you can F right off Rubio…you’ve never conceived of something so thoughtful.
It’s always funny/pathetic when the GOP complains about celebrities. They’ve literally elected an actor and a reality TV star as president. It’s so clear that they’re just jealous that the GOP only has lame has-been actors Who will show up for them (and Clint, the walking epitome of toxic masculinity). That being said, I loved Michelle’s speech last night but I am currently in the midst of a fear-fueled rage that anyone can vote for Trump or any of these republicans and I’m really afraid they will steal the election. As Michelle said, if he is president for another four years it will be a disaster.
To be fair, Ronald Reagan had served as Governor of California prior to being elected President. He wasn’t just some random actor. Now Trump OTOH…
I doubt Trump wrote those tweets; the sentence structure isn’t his. The whole style is very similar to the writings of Nagini, who uses Daddy’s account.
As petty as it may seen I really want the Biden Administration to open a congressional and State Department inquiry into what TF was going on with Trump and Russia. If there are any lingering members of the Congress, Senate or White House that had anything to do with assisting in the manipulation of the election they need to be publically exposed and jailed/fired/exiled from D.C. politics
Biden won’t have to open any inquiries. As Trump will have failed and will not complete Putin’s checklist during his squat in the White House, does anyone honestly think his life will be worth a dime? He’s alienated all our former allies – they won’t give a toss about what happens to him afterward. And Putin has been giving little “demonstrations” all during Trump’s squat, about how he so can so easily dispose of anyone who displeases him, no matter where they are or what they’re doing: they “accidentally” fall off of 6th floor balconies, they come in contact with novichok and polonium while sitting on park benches or having a nice beverage, they have “sudden heart attacks,” they “commit suicide,” etc. One of the reasons Trump is so desperate now is because 1) the money faucet will be cut off, and 2) all his bosses are going to be so, so pissed off at him.
Every time I‘ve seen Eva Longoria on a political panel discussion she’s absolutely well informed. She knows her stuff. Better than about 90% of the people currently in Congress, I wager.
Anyone notice he is flashing that sneaky white power hand signal?
What? The ok symbol? I don’t see it? Is there another one?
It will never, ever cease to amaze me how every tweet is filled to the brim with childish hyberbole – Obama was the most corrupt in history, I’ve had the most successful economy in history, they were spying on my campaign, which is the biggest political scandal IN HISTORY.
Five year olds on the playground argue like this. Children trying to deflect blame to a sibling for something they’ve obviously done say stuff like this, because apparently the more outrageous the lie, the more believable. And the most painful thing is, is that it is working for so many people.
The other day a car sized asteroid came within two thousand miles of Earth. Honestly, we deserve to take a direct hit. If this is the the farthest we’ve been able to get in intelligence by the year 2020, we’re pretty much done as a species.
I’m referring to this family as, “The Daily Freak Show.” Have you seen Drumpf Jr on Twitter? Stoned. On a happier note, Kamala’s Secret Service handle is, “Pioneer.”
I’m sure Quiet Riot and 38 Special’s available.
or maybe a ZZ Top cover…I mean…TRIBUTE band.
Every girl’s crazy bout a sharp dressed man. Even wears a pearl necklace.
I ordered cookies for my BIL birthday on 8/4 that never got delivered. It was supposed to come via FedEx but was transferred to the post office for delivery. I contacted the company and they are going to reship it at no costs.
This is going to hurt a lot of businesses.
I’m just trying to take it a day at a time until the election, but sometimes I think it will have to be minute by minute. I can’t believe that they actually think this blowhard BS will work, and then I can’t believe that it actually does. Millions of (white) Americans support this man and all his cronies destroying what’s left of our democracy, and they’re super proud because he “owns the libs.”
Trump & Co. are desperate to steal thunder from the Democratic National Convention, yes. But, they also need to throw up a smokescreen so no one focuses on today’s release of the Senate Russian 2016 election interference report that shows evidence of their crimes. Note that the sycophant Marco Rubio still keeps calling this full-on attack of war just “meddling” that didn’t involve Trump (this is a lie).

A close friend that I’ve had for years, posted pictures of himself and young son at a Trump rally. No masks, most people around them weren’t wearing masks. I was horrified, I honestly don’t know how I’ll be able to hang out with him again.
“I honestly don’t know how I’ll be able to hang out with him again.”
you don’t have to. and you don’t have to give him a reason, either. remember, “NO” is a complete sentence.
however, if he asks why, and you feel you need to tell him…you can tell him it’s because he supports a man who mocked a disabled person, grabbed women by the p*ssy, supports actual Nazis, aligns himself with bigots, deliberately separated babies…ACTUAL BABIES…from their parents and put them in cages, is destroying our environment and that doesn’t even start to cover his abject failure in addressing COVID.
Which rally? There haven’t been many that I’ve heard about.
I think that Trump ignores Michelle Obama because she’s a (Black)woman and “just” a wife. In other words, she’s merely decoration and not to be taken seriously. In this instance she was on the world stage and attacked him personally (which Trump as a total narcissist can’t abide) and thus couldn’t be ignored.
On another note, Trump’s hair sculpture reminds me of an Eero Saarinen designed building.
