Trump on Rise of Antisemitic Threats and Attacks: “Sometimes It’s the Reverse”

Also refuses to take responsibility for SEAL’s death
Politics • Views: 45,584

Here’s today’s evidence that there’s something seriously wrong with the man in the White House. Today, when asked about the recent wave of antisemitic threats and attacks across the nation (which is arguably one of the results of Trump’s legitimization and wink-and-nod approach to the far right) the Narcissist in Chief told a group of state attorneys general that “sometimes it’s the reverse.”

We have a dim-witted conspiracy theorist in charge of the nation, whose first impulse will always be to deny any responsibility rather than step up and unequivocally denounce the extremists who helped put him in office.

And this isn’t the only example of Trump’s pathological refusal to take responsibility. Today he also categorically denied any responsibility for the death of the Navy SEAL killed in his disastrous failed raid on Yemen, blaming it instead on the US military: Donald Trump Blames SEAL’s Death On Military: ‘They Lost Ryan’.

Bill Owens, the father of Chief Petty Officer William “Ryan” Owens, the Navy SEAL who died in the operation, demanded an investigation into his son’s death over the weekend. Owens further revealed he couldn’t bear to meet Trump at the airport as Ryan’s casket was carried off the military plane last month.

Asked about the matter during an interview with Fox News’ “Fox ‘n’ Friends,” Trump repeatedly said “they” were responsible for the outcome of the mission, in reference to the military.

“This was a mission that was started before I got here. This was something they wanted to do,” he said. “They came to me, they explained what they wanted to do ― the generals ― who are very respected, my generals are the most respected that we’ve had in many decades, I believe. And they lost Ryan.

Yeah, that will really reassure our allies and help our businesses compete overseas when you’re gutting the agencies that help companies overseas and make sure that our citizens overseas are treated properly.

Not that Trump cares about how citizens are treated, not when he’s got Sessions shitting all over civil rights by declining to go after police departments that systematically abused their power and violated the rights of people stopped by police.

But you know, all that’s okay for the white folks who don’t have to worry about being stopped for walking, carrying a firearm in an open carry state, playing with toy guns in an open carry state, driving, or just being at their own home.

They don’t call me General Beauregard for nothing! Under my watch, cops will have the power and authority they need to keep those criminals, indigents and protesters hiding at home or malingering in our jails where they belong! So mind me, boy…and you mind me well! You best keep your eyes down and say “Sir” real smart-like when an officer talks you! And officers will definitely be talking to you every day! I have my eye on you. All of you. You know who you are. You sluts with the pink hats? Scamper home and stay there if you know what’s best.

Gerson: Tonally, Trump has given the most downbeat and negative convention speech and inaugural address in recent history. And this is for a reason. He has to create a mood of crisis to assert that his strong-hand leadership is the only answer. If he doesn’t argue that murderous illegal immigrants are flooding into the country (they aren’t), and that refugees are about to kill us all (they aren’t) and that America is a nightmare run into the ground by losers (it isn’t), how does he make his case? Every time, Team Trump has claimed that the “big speech” will be uplifting. But it can’t be if Trump is somehow the nation’s answer. So urging Trump to inspire would require a different leader. I can confidently predict that Trump will not end his speech the same way Bush did in his 2001 budget speech, with the Spanish phrase “Juntos podemos”: “Together we can.”

Trump has no intention to inspire or bring the nation together. He’s out to destroy, damage, and undermine functioning government, and so far he’s followed through. He’s picked unqualified people.

He’s unqualified. He’s also completely compromised by Russia.

But his supporters don’t care, because they hear Trump saying that Trump’s successful, and they believe his baffling BS.

Anymouse  Feb 28, 2017 • 12:02:16pm

The Gods of War are sometimes fickle.

Any number of things can make a mission go awry: bad weather, poor intelligence, someone tipped off the target, you name it.

The military goes with the information it has, and not all missions are successful.

When the Iran rescue raid ordered by President Carter went foul, President Carter went on national television to claim responsibility for its failure: The buck stopped with him. He ordered the raid. It failed for a number of reasons, but he ordered it, as Commander-in-Chief.

I was in the Navy at the time of that raid; as an enlisted person I expected those elected to lead would accept responsibility.

The same Gods of War that went fickle for President Carter also went fickle for President Trump. I doubt we will ever learn precisely what went wrong, because this president and his Vichy collaborators in the Congress will accept responsibility for nothing.

They weave and duck, and put the blame on the military for a plan they ordered that went foul.

I am very glad I am not in the military today. This is not an administration under which I would want to serve. One that sees no responsibility for its actions when those actions go south and people die (Chief Owens and about thirty civilians who were not the target of the raid) and the destruction of a $20 million dollar aircraft.

The ADL gave Trump the benefit of doubt before. They shouldn’t have. And this is the proof that Trump has no intention of protecting minorities, let alone Jews, from violence. In fact, Trump’s more than willing to blame Jews for the violence against them.

This is the fucker that Netanyahu cozied up with. This is the guy that a bunch of right wing Jews thought was superior to Clinton.

Trump’s busy brushing off all the old anti-Semitic tropes, and his backers are salivating at the opportunity to get in on the action too.

I can’t even begin to parse what he means. I mean if we take it at face value, he saying that Jewish people sometimes bullied the people who caused the desecration.

That is the most logical way to look at it. Outside of my theory above, it’s entirely possible he’s trying to passive aggressively say he’s being picked on by Christ knows who.

Can I go off topic from the horror of the Trump administration to a boring tech question?

Earlier today I followed a link to an MSNBC Rachel Maddow video. The page was asking me to load a new flash player. I didn’t. Instead I found the video on YouTube and watched it there.

Ever since, my Amazon Cloud player has refused to load and play music. I’m guessing that a setting was somehow changed accidentally. I do have my computer set to block flash videos until I give permission, but I’d removed that block on my Amazon page.

Can anyone steer me to the setting that will allow me to listen to music again?

And since the bomb threats have happened over three weekends at places all across the country, and the cemetery attacks in two cities separated by 1,300 miles, a conspiratorial false-flag attack seems extremely unlikely (a conspiracy that vast that involves multiple targets over multiple weekends and not a peep out of any conspirator).

The key is in his rhetoric since getting elected: He views anybody who isn’t a drooling sycophant as “the enemy.”

You don’t think he has a divine right to rule? You’re the “enemy.”

You don’t think his every act is a masterstroke of genius that will “Make America Great Again”? “Enemy.”

You think he should be held responsible for the negative consequences of his actions, whether they be as minor as a hurt feeling or as horrific as dozens of innocents dead? “Enemy.”

The man doesn’t see you and I as citizens to protect, he sees as obstacles in his path to eternal glory.

Adobe recently released a new update to Flash. Many Websites (like MSNBC and the BBC) will not allow you to play videos unless you have the latest version of Flash Player.

You can get it directly from Adobe here:
get.adobe.com

It will only download the version needed for the browser you are using. (If you have more than one browser, you’ll need to download it with each browser.)

Make sure you follow their prompts carefully so you don’t also download other software you might not want, or reset your homepage to Yahoo or something.

Funny how the “Soros pays them $1500 a week” has become unassailable fact in their sealed universe. Easy step from that to “criminal conspiracy to engage in violence and terrorism”.

Again, don’t just bother with the truth that the claims are bizarrely untethered from reality…notice that the claims will be used to justify a policy that would be predicated on them being real, even though they are not.

I changed my post to say that Trump and his lackeys share the same mentality as users of Daily Stormer.

As he gets more and more unhinged, his accusations will get wilder and wilder, until he starts hoping that the people’s army will come save him.

Our job is not to be afraid of him, but to keep pushing him to act crazier than the previous day. Maybe we should reply to Trump’s tweets with just laughter.

I see what you are getting at, but he has thousands of armed federal agents who will be implementing his tweets on people who bleed when violent things are done to them.

re: #61 Scottish Dragon

Funny how the “Soros pays them $1500 a week” has become unassailable fact in their sealed universe. Easy step from that to “criminal conspiracy to engage in violence and terrorism”.

Again, don’t just bother with the truth that the claims are bizarrely untethered from reality…notice that the claims will be used to justify a policy that would be predicated on them being real, even though they are not.

See also Arizona’s failed attempt to criminalise organisers of protests when an act of property crime or violence occurs somewhere in the vicinity, regardless of whether that act was related to a protest.

Trump has used anti-Semitic tropes before. He will continue to do so. He surrounded himself with anti Semitic bigots like Bannon. He regularly tweeted white supremacist crap during the campaign.

His biggest and loudest supporters are white supremacists who got the green light to go all in with their bigotry.

Trump’s not changing. This is who he is.

And yes, he can be an anti-Semitic bigot even if his daughter converted and married a Jewish guy. It just makes the whole thing even worse - because he should know better but doesn’t care.

More here at the NYT on the new power in federal agents:

By all accounts, Gen. John Kelly was a fine Marine. He served with Gen. James Mattis, now the secretary of defense, and was seen as being in the Mattis mold — a low-key, prudent, rigorous thinker. So it is with surprise that I see Mr. Kelly, in his new role as secretary of Homeland Security, presiding over a ham-handed crackdown on immigrants.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents are operating aggressively under President Trump, feeling, as The New York Times reported, “newly emboldened” and “newly empowered.” Officials’ use of detention powers is widening, with some people being held who have no criminal history at all. The government raids often are conducted around dawn, to catch people as they leave for work. The uniformed agents are wearing body armor and carrying semiautomatic weapons. The morning raids and the military appearance may not be new developments, but they are especially worrisome when ICE and Customs and Border Protection, domestic law enforcement agencies, are overseen by a former general.

And there definitely seems to be recklessness in the way Homeland Security is operating. In recent days, agents have taken a woman with a brain tumor out of a hospital, almost deported a distinguished French scholar flying into Houston to deliver a university lecture and scared the daylights out of an Australian children’s author who vowed after the experience never to visit the United States again.

This isn’t being done solely to foreigners. The son of the boxer Muhammad Ali, a citizen, was questioned upon arriving in Florida from Jamaica about his religion, which would seem to be a clear violation of the First Amendment’s guarantee of religious freedom. And passengers on a domestic flight from San Francisco to New York were required to show their identity documents to customs officials because ICE thought a person with a deportation order might be on the plane.

For people who witnessed the American wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, such an aggressive stance is all too familiar. Over the weekend, Brandon Friedman, a former officer in the 101st Airborne Division, questioned on Twitter why Homeland Security officers were operating without constraints. He added, “In the military, it happens to aggressive units with poor leaders.” Erin Simpson, a political scientist who worked on strategic assessments for the United States military in the Afghan war, added in another tweet that the federal agents seem to enjoy “near impunity.”

The way that this administration is working swiftly to unlimber LEO from any restrictions against violations of civil rights, I suspect it won’t be long before we start hearing about DOJ investigations into “liberal elements” (or whatever Orwellian term they dream up) who are threatening his efforts to “protect” America. Don’t even have to reach back to the Reich for precedent, we can stop as recent as the Civil Rights Era, when many conservatives were absolutely convinced that the movement was being supported and funded by “communist elements” and used that to justify all sorts of civil rights violations.

Since the attacks are presumably being committed by antisemites against Jews, “sometimes it’s the reverse” could be taken to mean they’re being staged by Jews. As usual, Trump is incoherent enough to leave himself an excuse that he didn’t really mean that, but I see why some people are taking it that way.

Yeah, that will really reassure our allies and help our businesses compete overseas when you’re gutting the agencies that help companies overseas and make sure that our citizens overseas are treated properly.

Not that Trump cares about how citizens are treated, not when he’s got Sessions shitting all over civil rights by declining to go after police departments that systematically abused their power and violated the rights of people stopped by police.

But you know, all that’s okay for the white folks who don’t have to worry about being stopped for walking, carrying a firearm in an open carry state, playing with toy guns in an open carry state, driving, or just being at their own home.

Wasn’t it funding cuts to the State Department that resulted in fewer security personnel for Ambassadors and staff, and resulted in incidents like, oh, I don’t know…

That’s a classic Trump quote.
Trump considers himself a good negotiator, and in his mind, that is a Jewish trait.
This is why some have called Trump an antisemite’s idea of what a Jew is.

One thing Trump is good at, it’s not being clear.

And being unclear in a manner that gets his point across clearly to his supporters while leaving him plenty of room for deniability when confronted about it.

He might be clueless about governing, but he is a master manipulator of press and public opinion.

They’re not happy because it means that Trump doesn’t care about finding the actual culprits, using this as a political ploy to blame his opponents, which is outrageous in its own right. It really has no bearing on whether he meant Jews (which is improbable, to put it lightly).

As far as the right is concerned, there isn’t much space between the left and Jews.

I assumed he meant anyone who could use the opportunity to blame anti-Semites and the Trump administration, which could include Jews. I bet if you asked, he wouldn’t deny the possibility.

No, I’m just being realistic. I mean, maybe he could have meant aliens from the reverse universe, you can’t 100% exclude it. That he would blame Jews in this context to the Jewish AG? Sorry, I hate Trump but not to the irrational point where I would accept that as possibility anywhere equal to him blaming the left. Plus his adviser put that CT in clear terms: “maybe” the Dems did it.

re: #74 Scottish Dragon

Always been leery of LEO. Had friends become cops and Troopers. Met a fair share who were not a head case. Met far too many who were. That shield sometimes, in the wrong hands and mind, becomes a symbol of “imma fuck you up.” Dress them up all dark, with chrome and vests and all the gingerbread like spray and taze and cuffs and sappers…and you have a fucking nightmare brewing. “Guess what, Bobby? We can get those fuckers now!” Who? “YOU KNOW!” Dress this guy in black and watch the wigs split.

re: #79 Targetpractice

The way that this administration is working swiftly to unlimber LEO from any restrictions against violations of civil rights, I suspect it won’t be long before we start hearing about DOJ investigations into “liberal elements” (or whatever Orwellian term they dream up) who are threatening his efforts to “protect” America. Don’t even have to reach back to the Reich for precedent, we can stop as recent as the Civil Rights Era, when many conservatives were absolutely convinced that the movement was being supported and funded by “communist elements” and used that to justify all sorts of civil rights violations.

That is exactly what the Arizona GOP was planning in targeting protest organizers as criminal “racketeers.”

Like this photo with the cops looking like something out of a sci fi dystopic nightmare?

Putting people into bulked out military gear does increase aggression. Giving cops military rifles and military uniforms while telling them they are ‘warriors’ means you end up with an army of occupation instead of a peace force that protects.

re: #92 Nyet

He is quoted as saying: “Sometimes it’s the reverse, to make people - or to make others - look bad”. So what he is saying is repeating Scaramucci’s CT that the left did it.

Which, in the ears of the alt-right, is the same as “the Jews did it.”

Considering the weaponized and readily violent state of a large share of the public they have to police, I think that some of these guys develop a permanent case of pre- and post-traumatic stress disorder.

That is not any sort of excuse or justification for excessive behavior, just a comment on a possible reason why there are so many head cases among them

Why is it so hard to believe it was an anti-Semitic remark? Particularly in light of the fact it came only hours after Daily Stormer posted the same thing, and his account has retweeted memes and remarks from them before?

Putting people into bulked out military gear does increase aggression. Giving cops military rifles and military uniforms while telling them they are ‘warriors’ means you end up with an army of occupation instead of a peace force that protects.

It has been a successful tactic so far: utter something unclear that is quite clear to his target audience (bigots and anti-Semites) while vague enough to allow him to dodge or repudiate any criticism voiced at him over the purported intent of the remark and turn things back on the attackers.

Joe Manchin dared his base to vote him out after his vote for the jackass Scott Pruitt.
washingtonpost.com

He called Republicans’ refusal to hold a hearing on Obama Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland horrible.

But he blew up when an activist criticized his vote for new Environmental Protection Agency Director Scott Pruitt.

“I believe basically what Barack Obama did to our state was a crime,” said Manchin, referring to the Obama administration’s environmental regulations. “You’re not going to change me on that.”
When the protesters pressed on, Manchin gave them a choice. “You want me to stand in front of you and have people scream,” he said. “What you ought to do is vote me out. Vote me out! I’m not changing.”

“Is that a threat or an invitation?” asked one activist.

“It’s an invitation. You ought to,” said Manchin. “We’re on different pages … this is the problem in Washington. Everybody wants to fight continuously without finding a way forward. Yelling doesn’t bother me. I think we can all make a fool out of ourselves if we want to.”

Uh-oh, vets not happy with Trump’s claim the military was responsible for Chief Owen’s death.

Thehttp://huffingtonpost.com? administration is characterizing the operation primarily as a mission to gather intelligence on al Qaeda, and considers it “highly successful,” according to White House press Secretary Sean Spicer. “We gathered an unbelievable amount of intelligence that will prevent the potential deaths or attacks on American soil,” Spicer said Feb. 8.

If the administration really thinks the op was a great success then why are they not taking credit for it? They know it was a big fuck-up and that is why they are blaming it on Obama and the military.

Trump signed off on this mission just a week into office assuming that he could swank about projecting strength and leadership. Then it blew up in his face. Turns out Obama must have had his reasons for not green-lighting the mission…..

There is a difference between his staffer posting this (it’s unclear that Trump himself ever got the dog whistle) and him telling the Jewish AG, looking him in the eye, that “the Jews did it” about this particular event, with nothing to gain for it, when there is a much more likely and simple explanation. It’s just not “smart” - not in the intellectual way, mind you, but not “street smart”.

Basically those who insist on this make him from an old white bigot who is clearly uncomfortable around Jews (the Jewish reporter, etc.) into a full-blown David Duke and so far there haven’t been signs of that as far as Jews are concerned. And he doesn’t really hide his feelings when it comes to it (see all the stuff he openly said about Muslims).

I think some may be falling into “possible therefore probable” fallacy here. That there is a sliver of such a possibility here doesn’t mean that one can run with it now.

And because I am eyeing a half marathon on March 26, I thought I should do 10 miles. For the first time since I ran the half.

And then I decided it was an excellent day to switch from a 3/1 run/walk ratio to a 4/1 ratio.

Maybe a better plan would have been do have done these one at a time, but I did have a 12:01 minute pace over the 10 miles so that wasn’t bad. And the flooding is down to just the normal spot, which has been flooded since mid-January.

I think we should weigh the possibility that there is no specific “they” being referenced.

He also gullible, prone to repeating back what others say, and surrounded by people who are encouraging this behavior, many of whom have the same traits.

Who is they? Whoever his mind has rested on at that moment. The amorphous body of people that he resents. Whatever he’s heard most recently from Bannon or Jones. Whatever group he thinks kicking will get him the most applause.

Out of this administration? The guy who said he didn’t know David Duke when he clearly did? Who wouldn’t renounce him? Who hired Steve Bannon as a “campaign CEO?” Who has people like Ann Coulter and Richard Spencer throwing Nazi salutes at his rallies?

Yeah, I’ll assume the worst. (Right after they came for the Jews in Germany, they came for my family in Poland. I ain’t stupid, I know what anti-Semitism is when I see it, and I am an atheist.)

Or spend the entire time droning “yada yada yada”.

I expect those actually watching the shit show will hear absolutely nothing of substance and a continuous stream of generalities and derp.

My prediction is tonight will be a replay of last week: A very long campaign speech where Trump talks out his ass about how awesome his “win” was, how all the reports about his stumbles and falls are “fake news” ginned up by a media that hates him, how the protests are really paid for and the “real” people love him deeply, and then moving on to a lot of empty air about how he’s gonna fix all of America’s problems because he is Trump and he can do whatever the fuck he wants because nobody will stop him. Expect a lot of Republicans to look uncomfortable and even miserable while still making sure to clap at all the intended points.

Trump has used anti-Semitic tropes before. He will continue to do so. He surrounded himself with anti Semitic bigots like Bannon. He regularly tweeted white supremacist crap during the campaign.

His biggest and loudest supporters are white supremacists who got the green light to go all in with their bigotry.

Trump’s not changing. This is who he is.

And yes, he can be an anti-Semitic bigot even if his daughter converted and married a Jewish guy. It just makes the whole thing even worse - because he should know better but doesn’t care.

That said…as a narcissist playing to a crowd, Trump is ultimate example of how vanity resolves the dichotomy of cynicism and fanaticism.

He’ll believe whatever rewards his base assumptions, and completely re-invest as his needs require.

He’s going to keep doubling down on conspiracy stuff: it feeds his ego directly, but also indirectly through his loyal followers. If the latter keep rewarding him, he’ll more further in their direction. Not that this will come out, necessarily, as public declarations.

Remember when he refused to denounce David Duke? Remember how he has never acknowledged the thousands of Nazi Pepe memes made in his image and to support his campaign? Remember last summer when he was caught retweeting fake statistics from a neo Nazi website and his sons spread memes and tweets from neo Nazis?

This is not an accident. He had to be dragged into saying that defacing Jewish graves was a bad thing by repeated reporter questions, and he has refused to say anything about the wave of hate crimes after his election.

So even if he is not actually anti Semitic, he sure as fuck refuses to say anything bad about his voters who are.

The wash out portion looks like it is worn down to crystalline basement rock, although I cannot tell for sure from the photo. If that is the case, your best bet may be to stabilize and reinforce the sediment above and reconstruct the spillway to go in the direction the water wants to go. If you are on non porous metamorphic basement, you have something a lot firmer to work on although you have real work ahead to deal with the up-slope portion that will try to slide down into the chasm.

Yeah but I’m pretty sure the difference is just in what we call it, that technically a SoTU can only be given by a President who has been in office for a year or more.

There is nothing in the Constitution about giving a State of the Union speech at all (Washington simply sent reports to Congress every year). It’s mostly semantics.

The State of the Union address normally tells where the country is at and what the President’s priorities are for the coming year. I presume those will be something about how the media is really the Lügenpresse and his rallies get bigger every time he holds one, stuff like that.

As I recall, past addresses were written down and read to Congress. I think the modern way of doing it started in the Wilson years if memory serves.

Cillizza as usual misses the point by a mile. The affront Conway committed wasn’t to the Office of the President, it was to the HBCU leadership that were forced to assemble and kowtow before Trump. In order to ensure that their Colleges and Universities remained eligible for the student loan money they need to survive they swallowed their dignity and allowed themselves to be used in that cheap photo op. They dressed up, stood up, and paid their respects to a man who only deserves their contempt. And while they were being paraded before the world in this abject display of humiliation Kellyanne saw fit to show them, and everyone, exactly how much respect and decorum she thought they were due.

It’s going to be a long campaign speech, because that’s all he’s proven capable of giving. He won’t go into details about any of his proposals, but will stop at “They’ll be great, believe me!” Be on the lookout for a very loud suggestion that any who don’t support his agenda are not simply his enemies, but enemies of “the American people.” And the preemptive blaming of any failures of his on said enemies.

So I just found out about this but I think it’s cool and in case there were any other Lizards who wanted to join in, there’s a free virtual race being sponsored by the British Science Assocation called Run the Solar System. It uses the technology for the zombies running app that I normally run with to deliver a narrated experience as you run (or walk).

Just thought I’d share. :) I’m thinking I’m going to run it.

White House Condemns Olathe Shooting Hours after FBI Announces Hate Crime Investigation (Goes to the Kansas City Star)

Profiles in courage.

You know, in the Navy we were always told about leadership: You can’t push a string.

(more at the link):

Hours after the FBI announced it is investigating a triple shooting at an Olathe bar as a hate crime, a spokeswoman for President Donald Trump condemned the attack.

The attack left Srinivas Kuchibhotla, 32, dead.

Kuchibhotla’s Garmin co-worker Alok Madasani, of Overland Park, and bystander Ian Grillot were wounded in the shooting around 7:15 p.m. Wednesday at Austins Bar & Grill near 151st Street and Mur-Len Road. Kuchibhotla and Madasani are from India.

The FBI confirmed earlier Tuesday that it is investigating the shooting as a hate crime.

According to The Hill, White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders told reporters Tuesday that Trump condemned the shooting as an “act of racially motivated hatred.”

“The president condemns these and any racially and religiously motivated attacks,” Huckabee Sanders said.

Yeah, imagine my surprise that the same crowd who spent 8 years bitching constantly that Obama wouldn’t call such acts “what they really are” and lambasting the White House for responding to inquiries about such events with “we’re not rushing to judgment”…now suddenly can’t find it in themselves to speak up until after the FBI has.

Wrecked. Comprehensively wrecked.

Is Oroville an Army COE dam or a Cal State dam? That looks like >$50 million to fix, easy.

Someone is going to be out of some real money.

Good thing the whole “State of Jefferson” thingie is stalled in Butte County or things could be truly dismal.

I’m not outraged. I find it distasteful. I would be outraged if someone “sat” on my couch in my house in that fashion; really, shoes on the couch? No.

What does piss me the fuck off is the hipocrisy. Obama gets slammed for wearing rolled up shirt sleeves, having his feet on the desk. And I can only imagine the OUTRAGEOUS outrage had Michelle sat on the couch that way. That is what angers me.

They aren’t like that last guy’s Generals who were all losers, sad, it’s sad how our armed services were led by losers and incompetents before I was elected.

Reporter: But Mr. President…the military command staff hasn’t changed, you’re talking about the same Generals that President Obama had…

Trump: More fake news from the liberal mainstream media, they are MY Generals now and that makes them better and smarter than they ever could be with other guy in charge…
