On Sunday, Fox News had a rare moment of clarity and actually decided to share the truth with their viewers, breaking the hearts of some rich asshole voters around the world.
As the rich asshole continues to brag and tweet about polls that are biased and inaccurate (while ignoring actual facts), Fox News blasted the failing POTUS’ disastrous health care plan and noted that Americans overwhelmingly prefer Obamacare.
The poll was taken just a few days ago and states that 50% of Americans approve Obamacare, and only 24% are willing to support a Republican replacement. Some weren’t fond of either (13%), but the evidence was clear – the people in this country do not want the GOP to repeal the Affordable Care Act and replace it with one of their death sentences.
This poll comes just days after the rich asshole trashed the Republican Party on Twitter, calling out their “failed” health care plan and urging them to make a decision as soon as possible. the rich asshole and the GOP are more desperate than ever for a legislative win, and this poll proves that it’s only going to be another humiliating loss for them. Every time the Congressional Budget Office analyzes one of the Republicans’ proposals, each version looks worse than the last.
Americans are already well aware that many of them (millions, actually) will lose their health care coverage under Trumpcare. For many, the GOP’s replacement plan will be life-threatening. Even a good portion of the rich asshole’s most loyal supporters are terrified of losing their Obamacare, and have publicly spoken out in favor of keeping the health care bill because they’ve benefited so greatly from it.
One thing is for sure – when the rich asshole sees what his favorite news channel has just tweeted, he’s going to have a colossal meltdown. He relies on Fox News to hide his failures, and this truth bomb isn’t going to sit well.
Dem Senator Calls Out Mike Pence For Telling A HUGE Lie About Trumpcare
some rich asshole and his vice-president are eager to pass the GOP/Trumpcare bill even though it will harm millions of Americans. It’s not even a health care bill; it’s more of a death care bill. Democratic and Republican governors agree that it’s a bad proposal. According to a report presented at the National Governors Association, the Senate’s Obamacare repeal bill would result in reductions in federal Medicaid funding to states ranging from 27 percent to 39 percent by 2036. Politico reports that fifteen states would see their federal Medicaid funding decline by more than 35 percent by 2036.
Vice President Mike Pence tweeted, “Let me be clear: The Senate health-care bill strengthens and secures Medicaid for the neediest in our society. #BetterCare.”
Let me be clear: The Senate health-care bill strengthens and secures Medicaid for the neediest in our society. #BetterCare
Pence said that the GOP plan would ensure that “every state in America has the resources you need to take care of your most vulnerable.”
The fifteen states that would be most affected by this travesty of a bill include California, Nevada, Kentucky, Washington, North Dakota, Oregon and New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona, Utah, Ohio, Arkansas, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee. We suppose those states don’t count.
Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) ripped Pence on Saturday in a tweet .
“I’m going to say it – there is real evil in the epidemic rate of lying that is going on right now,” Murphy tweeted in response to the rich asshole’s tweet which included the video above.
“This is not normal,” Murphy added.
I'm going to say it - there is real evil in the epidemic rate of lying that is going on right now. This is not normal. twitter.com/vp/status/8859…
Pence has nearly 4 million followers and his tweet was liked only 2,902 times. In contrast, Murphy has 281,000 followers and his tweet was liked nearly 14,000 times. Perhaps, just maybe, the rich asshole supporters are waking up to the fact that they will be largely affected by Obamacare being repealed and replaced with a shit sandwich.
Kasich isn’t happy with Pence either:
Ohio Gov. John Kasich’s (R) office rejected Pence’s claim that 60,000 disabled Ohioans are on waiting lists for Medicaid’s home and community-based services.Kasich’s spokesperson called Pence’s claim “not accurate” and said that suggesting Medicaid expansion hurt the developmentally disabled system “is false, as it is just the opposite of what actually happened.” A Pence spokesman defended the vice president’s comments.
On top of that, insurers ripped into Ted Cruz’s provision saying that it’s “unworkable” and added that “millions of more individuals will become uninsured” and it will affect those with pre-existing conditions.
The the rich asshole Campaign Paid Don Jr’s Lawyer A Vast Amount Of Money Just Before Scandal Broke (IMAGES)
some rich asshole’s allies would very much like the RNC to cover the legal costs of retaining attorneys amid the inquiries into whether the campaign colluded with the Russian government during the 2016 election. It appears, though, that the alleged president’s reelection campaign has already paid a legal firm $50,000 and that was just two weeks before some rich asshole Jr.’s email scandal broke. T he name of the committee: some rich asshole for President, Inc.
The Trump campaign began paying Don Jr's lawyer about two weeks before the email story broke, per new FEC filing pic.twitter.com/F0ifZ3q2Xw
The campaign is also paying the Trump Corp. for legal consulting, a new category of campaign-to-Trump company payments as best I can tell pic.twitter.com/J6Smlw6ItI
The filing also shows that the campaign settled on a new vendor for legal consulting services: the the rich asshole Corporation. So, it appears that the rich asshole is profiting from his own scandal. According to the filing, the campaign paid the company nearly $90,000 three days after its payment to Futerfas.
the rich asshole claims to know nothing about the meeting his son took with a Kremlin-connected lawyer. That meeting was set up to get dirt on Hillary Clinton. Jared Kushner, the rich asshole’s son-in-law, and his former campaign manager, Paul Manafort, attended the meeting at the rich asshole Tower. 5 others attended, including Russians. Junior keeps changing his story but it’s all coming out in the wash. We’re sure Mr. Mueller is taking notes.
And none of this looks suspicious at all (wink wink).

In One Chart, This Company Schooled some rich asshole On How To Treat Women
some rich asshole, at 71 years old, apparently just can’t help but be a lecherous pervert who judges women solely on physical attractiveness — and rarely does that include women over 50.
French President Emmanuel Macron’s wife Brigitte is 24 years his senior. I guess the rich asshole was taken by surprise that a 64-year-old woman could possibly be fit and attractive, so he did what no one with any diplomatic skills would ever even consider — he complimented her looks, but not just her general looks, he told her she has a “good” body. Perhaps the most disturbing part of that is that he thought he was being appropriate.
Twitter had a field day with it:
...And what I hope #BrigitteMacron said to @POTUS "And you look like a sack of s*** you lumpen plonker". Except in French, obviously
Exact Trump words to Brigitte Macron: 'You know, you're in such great shape...beautiful.' twitter.com/ADAMPLOW/statu…
A reader reacts to Donald Trump telling Brigitte Macron, "You're in such good shape" nyti.ms/2sZdzDm
The sad, troubling reality is that when @realDonaldTrump paid #BrigitteMacron that "compliment," he genuinely thought he was being charming.
The best response, though, came from Reebok, who made a chart just for some rich asshole saying when it might be appropriate for a man to say, “You’re in such good shape…beautiful.” The answer was pretty much never, unless instead of a woman, you’re talking about an action figure from your childhood.
I’ll have to admit that I haven’t bought a pair of Reeboks in a while. Maybe it’s time.

the rich asshole Makes A Friday Golf Announcement That Has Americans Rightfully Angry
-
Yet again, some important piece of news about the president has come from his Twitter account, with him announcing on Friday that he will be attending the U.S. Women’s Open.
He tweeted after leaving France:
‘Left Paris for U.S.A. Will be heading to New Jersey and attending the#USWomensOpen, their most important tournament, this afternoon.’
Left Paris for U.S.A. Will be heading to New Jersey and attending the#USWomensOpen, their most important tournament, this afternoon.
the rich asshole was in France as the special guest of French president Emmanuel Macron for Bastille Day celebrations. The U.S. Women’s Open is being held this year at the rich asshole’s private golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, where he has spent eleven days since taking office.
Just like with everything else that the rich asshole touches, him holding the U.S. Women’s Open at his golf club and subsequently announcing his attendance is not without controversy. Associating with the rich asshole — or the rich asshole associating with you — will pretty much never turn out good for you, and the same goes for those involved in the U.S. Women’s Open.
There was a large protest banner flown in the skies near the recent U.S. Open, admonishing those sports executives in charge of the U.S. Women’s Open to move it away from the private golf club belonging to the controversial president.
They didn’t listen.
The women’s advocacy group UltraViolet issued a statement on the occasion of the U.S. Open protest — which they were behind — calling the plans to hold the U.S. Women’s Open at the rich asshole’s private golf club “straight up offensive.” As they note in their statement, three Democratic Senators wrote a letter to the LPGA last fall urging them to move the upcoming U.S. Women’s Open away from a place that would give the rich asshole “millions in revenue, free advertising and good branding.”
the rich asshole added insult to injury in many people’s view by announcing that he would be attending the event.
CNN sports analyst Christine Brennan recently summed up the situation by writing in USA Today and saying:
‘If the rich asshole shows up, he will overwhelm the event. He won’t be a story. He will be the story. He will steal the spotlight from the golfers who deserve it, women who receive a fraction of the attention, and the pay, of their male counterparts.’
Even still, nobody involved — the rich asshole included — took any of this to heart, and the tournament is going on as planned at the rich asshole’s golf club with the president in attendance.
Check out Twitter’s reaction to the rich asshole’s “big reveal” that he is attending the U.S. Women’s Open below.
The #USWomensOpen is being played at Trump's private golf club in New Jersey. So he's going to give paying clients their money's worth...
And then, let me guess.... golf on Sunday at one of your clubs?
Careful with the handshakes. You do not want to injure any athletes.

You're such a big supporter of the womens. The biggest. Everybody says so. You know the best womens. Yes, Trump loves the womens.
One of you favourite things to do is go watch young womens at your Miss Universe women festivals. To admire them in all their natural glory.
Left Paris for U.S.A. Will be heading to New Jersey and attending the#USWomensOpen, their most important tournament, this afternoon.
Glad you have so much time to watch and play golf #MAGA

Weird that a sitting president would go out of his way to attend the #USWomensOpen. Wonder where it's being held. Oh right @TrumpBedminster

THE RICH ASSHOLE USED NORTH KOREAN PROPAGANDA TO PUSH HIS STUPID WALL, AMERICANS ARE P*SSED (DETAILS)
Jesus f*cking Christ our President* is a moron. Not satisfied with simply wasting billions of taxpayer dollars on a border wall, The rich asshole wants it to be see-through too — not to preserve the view of scenery but because he’s afraid people might be killed by gigantic sacks of drugs that are totallygoing to be thrown over it on a regular basis (thus negating his argument that the wall will somehow curb drug trafficking).
“As horrible as it sounds, when they throw the large sacks of drugs over, and if you have people on the other side of the wall, you don’t see them–they hit you on the head with 60 pounds of the stuff? It’s over,” the President said aboard Air Force One Wednesday according to the official White House transcript. “As cray as that sounds, you need transparency through that wall.”

It’s unclear if the rich asshole actually said “cray” or if the White House stenographer made a typo, but the idea that we will be so beleaguered by so many flying 60-pound sacks of drugs that the border wall needs to be “transparent” is pretty “cray.”
Now, the rich asshole could have argued that there are a number of reasons for “transparency” — to see those dirty brownish people he hates coming, for instance. But he chose the dumb one that involves throwing a 60-pound bag of heroin over a 20-foot fence.
Naturally, Americans find this hilarious:

THE RICH ASSHOLE THROWS TWITTER TANTRUM BASHING REPUBLICANS FOR NOT TAKING HEALTHCARE AWAY FROM PEOPLE FAST ENOUGH
960
SHARES
some rich asshole went on a tirade on Friday morning because Republicans in Congress are not stripping healthcare from millions of Americans fast enough.
For months, the rich asshole has failed to get an Obamacare repeal bill on his desk because Americans overwhelmingly oppose it because they now realize that the Affordable Care Act keeps them insured, and in many cases, alive.
The Trumpcare bill that has been hitting roadblock after roadblock in Congress strips healthcare from millions of Americans, drops coverage for people with pre-existing conditions, makes healthcare premiums more expensive, and takes away vital care for women and children among a slew of other important provisions, all so that the wealthy can get a massive tax cut.
While in France on Bastille Day, the rich asshole whined on Twitter that Republicans are not moving fast enough to repeal healthcare.
Republicans Senators are working hard to get their failed ObamaCare replacement approved. I will be at my desk, pen in hand!
— some rich asshole (@realDonaldTrump) July 14, 2017
So impt Rep Senators, under leadership of @SenateMajLdrMcConnell get healthcare plan approved. After 7yrs of O’Care disaster, must happen!

After all of these years of suffering thru ObamaCare, Republican Senators must come through as they have promised!

.@VP Mike Pence is working hard on HealthCare and getting our wonderful Republican Senators to do what is right for the people.
— some rich asshole (@realDonaldTrump) July 14, 2017
Again, the rich asshole’s healthcare policy would actually kill people, but he is demanding that Republicans jam it through Congress as quickly as possible.
And Americans were not thrilled about it and told the rich asshole as much on Twitter.
How about crafting a GOOD healthcare plan first? Or maybe IMPROVING Obamacare? Don’t just push through a bill for the sake of it!

FRENCH PRESIDENT TRIES NOT TO LAUGH AS REPORTER ASKS THE RICH ASSHOLE ABOUT IMAGINARY FRIEND ‘JIM’ (VIDEO)
Posted by Conover Kennard on 14 Jul 2017
Amateur president some rich asshole appears to have made up a friend and in the past, he has also assumed the role of fictitious people such as John Barron and John Miller to represent him. the rich asshole’s father used to pose as Mr. Green so perhaps that’s where the former reality show star picked up the strange habit of inventing characters.
No one can find ‘Jim,’ a man who the rich asshole has referenced in order to slam Paris, making the city seem to be unlivable due to terrorism. Jim, the rich asshole said, is “a very, very substantial guy” who used to love visiting Paris with his wife and kids. But now, this Jim fellow no longer visits the city of lights. “’Paris?” Jim replied, as relayed by the rich asshole. “‘I don’t go there anymore. Paris is no longer Paris.’”
The only problem is that Jim doesn’t appear to exist.
A French reporter asked the rich asshole, who was standing next to French President Emmanuel Macron, about his good friend “Jim.”
For his part, Macron held back from laughing, although, the smirk on his face speaks volumes.
You’ve also said that France and Germany are infected by terrorism and ‘it’s their fault because they let people enter their territory,'” the reporter continued. “Those are very strong words. Would you repeat them today? And do you still believe that France is not able to fight terrorism on its own territory?”
the rich asshole, according to Business Insider, called the question “a beauty” and told Macron that “you better let me answer that one first.”
“You know what? It’s going to be just fine because you have a great president,” the rich asshole said. “You have somebody that’s going to run this country right. And I would be willing to bet cause I think this is one of the great cities, one of the most beautiful cities in the world, and you have a great leader now, you have a great president. You have a tough president.”
“He’s not going to be easy on people that are breaking the laws and people that show this tremendous violence,” the rich asshole continued. “So I really have a feeling that you’re going to have a very peaceful and beautiful Paris. And I’m coming back.”
Watch:
At that point, the rich asshole turned to Macron and said jokingly that “you better do a good job please, otherwise you’re going to make me look very bad.”
SMH:
The WH "has not responded to a request for comment about who Jim is or whether he will be on the trip" - @vmsalamaapnews.com/e18f254c4ac84e…
Macron replied to the rich asshole, saying he is “always welcome” in France. Jim, however, could not be reached for comment.
‘Watch your back, b*itch’: the rich asshole lawyer Marc Kasowitz threatens stranger in emails
Facebook85.8KTwitterMore96
Marc Kasowitz (ACN/Flickr)
DON'T MISS STORIES. FOLLOW RAW STORY!
Marc Kasowitz, President the rich asshole’s personal attorney on the Russia case, threatened a stranger in a string of profanity-laden emails Wednesday night.
The man, a retired public relations professional in the western United States who asked not to be identified, read ProPublica’s story this week on Kasowitz and sent the lawyer an email with the subject line: “Resign Now.”
Kasowitz replied with series of angry messages sent between 9:30 p.m. and 10 p.m. Eastern time. One read: “I’m on you now. You are fucking with me now Let’s see who you are Watch your back , bitch.”
In another email, Kasowitz wrote: “Call me. Don’t be afraid, you piece of shit. Stand up. If you don’t call, you’re just afraid.” And later: “I already know where you live, I’m on you. You might as well call me. You will see me. I promise. Bro.”
Kasowitz’s spokesman, Michael Sitrick, said Thursday he couldn’t immediately reach Kasowitz for comment.
ProPublica confirmed the man’s phone number matched his stated identity. Technical details in the emails, such as IP addresses and names of intermediate mail servers, also show the emails came from Kasowitz’s firm. In one email, Kasowitz gave the man a cell phone number that is not widely available. We confirmed Kasowitz uses that number.
The exchange began after the man saw our story featured last night on the Rachel Maddow show on MSNBC. We reported that Kasowitz is not seeking a security clearance even though the Russia case involves a significant amount of classified material.
Experts said Kasowitz could have trouble getting a security clearance because of what multiple sources described as a recent history of alcohol abuse. Former employees also said Kasowitz had engaged in behavior that made them uncomfortable.
Since the story was published, his spokesman issued a statement disputing several parts of the story: “Marc Kasowitz has not struggled with alcoholism,” Sitrick wrote. “He has not come into the office intoxicated, attorneys have not had to go across the street to the restaurant during the workday to consult Kasowitz on work matters.”
The rigorous background investigation that goes into getting security clearance also considers “any information relevant to strength of character, honesty, discretion, sound judgment, [and] reliability.”
The exchange of emails Wednesday began at 9:28 p.m. Eastern when the man sent the following message to Kasowitz’s firm account.
Five minutes later, Kasowitz responded with two words:
Fifteen minutes after that, Kasowitz sent a second email:
The man responded politely:
But Kasowitz continued to harangue him:
And then, just 33 minutes after the man’s initial email, Kasowitz sent a fourth response, referring to his own Jewish heritage and the man’s name, which he presumed to be Jewish.
The man told us that the email exchange disturbed him so greatly he forwarded it to the FBI so there would be a written record in case Kasowitz followed through on the threat.
Experts in the laws on harassment and online threats differed on whether Kasowitz’s emails could put him in legal jeopardy.
When considering whether words constitute a true threat versus protected speech, “the threat has to be credible and the person has to intend to make the victim fear imminent physical harm,” said Danielle Citron, a University of Maryland law professor and author of a book on online harassment.
Citron pointed in particular to Kasowitz’s statements: “I already know where you live” and “you will see me. I promise.” She said: “That’s incredibly troubling language. If I’m a prosecutor I’m going to think hard about that.”
Ron Kuby, a New York lawyer who argued a case that overturned a portion of the state’s harassment law on free speech grounds, said he believed Kasowitz had not violated the law with his missives.
“When Kasowitz says things like ‘I already know where you live’ he is inching closer to the line. But in my view — as someone who despises the the rich asshole administration, but who has litigated these issues — he is well on the legal side of the line.”
For over 15 years, the rich asshole has periodically retained Kasowitz, who has cultivated a tough-guy image.
The New York Times reported this week that the relationship between Kasowitz and the the rich asshole White House had soured and that Kasowitz could resign. Kasowitz’s spokesman told ProPublica Wednesday: “The NYT story is not accurate.” Kasowitz’s firm was also sued for malpractice this week by a former client in a billing dispute.

These days, someone with any degree of separation from President some rich asshole can be the subject of scrutiny, uproar and, on Twitter, hilarity.
When ProPublica revealed that Marc Kasowitz, the attorney representing the rich asshole in the Russia investigation, had sent a string of abusive emails to an unidentified recipient that included, among other things, telling the man to “watch your back, b*tch,” the Internet exploded in disbelief.
“New rule,” Mother Jones‘ deputy DC bureau chief Daniel Schulman tweeted. “Only email Marc Kasowitz for comment after 9 p.m.”
“I don’t know where Roger Stone ends and Marc Kasowitz begins,” another userincredulously claimed.
“Today was the day Marc Kasowitz finally became president,” yet another said.

some rich asshole’s defense? Obama is to blame for it all
July 13, 2017
Alexander Nazaryan
Posted with permission from Newsweek
Never in American political history has there been a figure as thoroughly blameless as Donald J. Trump. Nothing is ever his fault. In all matters, he is blameless. Others may err, but he remains without blemish in his gilded penthouse
Speaking in Paris on Thursday, the president made clear who was to blame for his son Donald Jr.’s troubling meeting with Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya: Loretta E. Lynch, who was President Barack Obama’s attorney general.
“Somebody said that her visas or her passport to come into the country was approved by Attorney General Lynch, now maybe that’s wrong. I just heard that a little while ago. But, was a little surprised to hear that, she was here because of Lynch," Trump said.
But of course. How wrong we all were, to think that the 39-year-old Trump Jr.was responsible for his own actions, or that Trump Sr. was responsible for everything that went on in his political campaign.
I’d go even further: it was Obama who picked Lynch as his attorney general, which makes this whole fiasco over Trump’s less-than-brilliant son his fault. Mr. Obama, why did you force the Trump campaign into colluding with Russia? Have you no decency, sir?
Blaming may be Trump’s most finely-honed skill. Someone else is always wrecking our country: undocumented immigrants from Latin America, refugees from Syria, liberal Democrats, the Japanese, the Chinese, the French with their silly theories about melting ice caps. And only Trump can fix it. Unless, of course, those opposing forces somehow confound him. Which, if they do, he will let you know very clearly.
Some may have thought that in assuming the office of the presidency, Trump would also assume the responsibilities that come with being the most powerful man on Earth. No such luck, for while the power of the presidency is great, the man who now has the presidency is small.
In his inauguration address, Trump blamed the nation’s shortcomings on a “small group in our nation’s Capital” that, in his dark vision, “has reaped the rewards of government.” Behind him stood three former presidents and a plethora of congressional leaders, listening to the castigations of a reality television star who hadn’t performed a minute of public service.
Trump quickly discovered how difficult it is to govern, but instead of mastering those difficulties, he has resorted to blaming others for his failures. Trump’s managerial style is chaotic, but Chief of Staff Reince R. Priebus is the one at fault for the persistent disorder in the West Wing. Attorney General Jeff Sessions made the Russia investigation worse by recusing himself. The Deep State is trying to undermine him, as are liberal media outlets. That the man persists in the face of such adversity is a testament to his gold-plated will.
No one gets more blame than the Democrats, Obama in particular. And, yes, all presidents blame their predecessors. But they don’t do it so persistently, and with so little class.
After being forced to fire National Security Adviser Michael T. Flynn in February for ties to Russia, he blamed Obama for the whole imbroglio, since Flynn had also once served in the Obama administration. “Just remember, he was approved by the Obama administration at the highest level,” Trump told Fox News two months later, neglecting the fact that Obama had explicitly warned him, after the election, about hiring Flynn. “And when they say we didn’t vet, well, Obama I guess didn’t vet, because he was approved at the highest level of security by the Obama administration.”
When the Syrian regime gassed its own citizens in April, Trump again went after Obama: “These heinous actions by the Bashar al-Assad regime are a consequence of the last administration’s weakness and irresolution. President Obama said in 2012 that he would establish a ‘red line’ against the use of chemical weapons and then did nothing.” True, the Obama administration did too little on Syria. But the Obama administration is over. Does the Trump administration have any ideas other than It was the other guy?
Last month, American college student Otto Warmbier died after being returned from imprisonment in North Korea. Quickly dispensing with shows of grief, Trump blamed Obama: “It's a total disgrace what happened to Otto. It should never, ever be allowed to happen. And frankly, if he were brought home sooner, I think the results would have been a lot different.” The obvious implication was that Obama hadn’t done enough to bring Warmbier home, leaving Trump to deal with the tragic fallout. Trump Jr. reinforced that point in a tweet.
Not surprising at all!

The Republicans have had eight years to come up with their own answer to the Affordable Care Act. They have both chambers of Congress, not to mention a president who promised he'd scrap the healthcare law and introduce a much better one. So why has the Republican effort to repeal and replace the ACA been so frustrating and, thus far, fruitless?
You get one guess.
“If we went and got the single greatest health care plan in the history of the world, we would not get one Democrat vote, because they’re obstructionists,” Trump said last month in Iowa. He repeated the complaint in a tweet: "If we had even a little Democrat support, just a little, like a couple of votes, you’d have everything." But hadn't he promised Americans that he'd be a dealmaker nonpareil? Or does the art of the deal involve incessant complaining?
Amazingly, even Russia’s interference in the presidential election was Obama’s fault. Last month, Trump tweeted, “the Obama administration knew far in advance of November 8 about election meddling by Russia. Did nothing about it. Why?"
Just out: The Obama Administration knew far in advance of November 8th about election meddling by Russia. Did nothing about it. WHY?
Well, in good part because Trump had already said the elections were “rigged,” with goonish adviser Roger Stone predicting a potential “bloodbath” after a Hillary Clinton victory. The milieu of suspicion fostered by the Trump campaign made it impossible for Obama to speak about Russian meddling without falling prey to scurrilous accusations of meddling on Clinton’s behalf.
The incessant desire to blame is rooted in Trump’s fragile psychology, which is itself rooted in a soil rich with illusion. The son of a wealthy real estate developer, Trump has nevertheless always entertained the fiction that he was a largely self-made billionaire, even though his career is in fact littered with failure, deception, unpaid debts, unmet obligations and the shameless swindling of the very Americans he says he’s fighting for.
Such fictions were easy enough to maintain on The Apprentice, but less so as the occupant of the most scrutinized political office in the world. No amount of fawning Fox News coverage can disguise the fact that he has less managerial ability than a junior Wendy’s employee, no ability whatsoever to persuade legislators of either party, virtually no understanding of policy foreign or domestic and a pathological obsession with his own image.
And as that image crumbles, Trump is desperately and unconvincingly making the case that his presidency is being sabotaged by forces beyond his control, ghosts of the past come back to haunt him. Does he think that Americans are that stupid? Obama’s gone, as are Loretta and Hillary. It’s all on you now, Donnie.
‘They say don’t do this — then he tweets’: White House lawyers irate that the rich asshole ignores their advice
some rich asshole speaks from the White House (screen grab)
DON'T MISS STORIES. FOLLOW RAW STORY!
Lawyers in the rich asshole White House are increasingly fuming that their top client cannot be controlled.
In a lengthy Politico piece on the struggles of the rich asshole’s legal team, several White House advisers say the rich asshole’s lawyers are growing exasperated because the president regularly discounts their advice and is instead more prone to take advice from his own family members.
“They say, don’t do this, don’t do that, and he then he tweets,” one White House adviser told Politico. “And then the conversation happens again.”
One issue, Politico’s sources say, is that the rich asshole seems to think that his lawyers have magical powers to make the Russia scandal completely disappear from the news cycle.
“At 35,000-feet view, all the president wants is for it to go away,” one the rich asshole adviser told the publication. “He wants an end to it, even if he does not know exactly how that happens.”
Another problem is that the rich asshole White House always wants to hit back hard at any media stories about the Russia scandal — despite the fact that the legal team would prefer a more cautious approach that didn’t open up multiple members of the administration to legal liability.
At the end of the day, said one source, there will be chaos and “everyone in there is going to blame it on everyone else.”
‘Daddy won’t like this’: Internet mocks the rich asshole Jr. for making Time cover for all the wrong reasons
DON'T MISS STORIES. FOLLOW RAW STORY!
President some rich asshole is very fond of Time Magazine covers — so much so that he has a fake Time cover of himself hanging in several of his golf clubs.
But it’s very unlikely that Time’s latest cover will be hanging on the walls of any the rich asshole-branded building in the future, as it features a photo of some rich asshole Jr. along with the caption, “Red Handed.”
The cover story is, predictably, about the rich asshole Jr.’s emails with publicist Rob Goldstone, who offered to set up a meeting between the rich asshole campaign and what he described as a “Russian government lawyer” as part of “Russia and its government’s efforts to help some rich asshole” win the presidency.
The internet was quick to pounce with humorous reactions about the rich asshole Jr. making the cover of Time for all the wrong reasons — check out the best reactions below.
Hey, Don Jr. FINALLY gets his own @TIME Magazine cover!
I wonder if daddy is happy now?#ThursdayThoughts
Oh boy. Daddy won't like this. Junior is on a REAL Time magazine cover. twitter.com/yashar/status/…
That is a #highquality photo of a NOT #highqualityperson on the cover of Time Magazine. @realDonaldTrump must be so proud of Jr.
This is not one of your fake Time magazine covers. Its real. Are you going to visit Junior in prison? LOL. Loser pic.twitter.com/OOmzAWTHaq
I guess we all know what happens next: "The failing TIME magazine..." *tweet, tweet*
Yo dawg I hear you like Time magazine covers. pic.twitter.com/YpdtElPChS
WATCH: Fox News guest says it is ‘unpatriotic’ to question the rich asshole about Russia
Fox News guest Rachel Campos-Duffy
DON'T MISS STORIES. FOLLOW RAW STORY!
As questions swirl around some rich asshole’s associates’ clandestine meetings with Russia operatives, journalists on Thursday are prepared to pepper the president with the very questions he appears adamant to avoid when he holds a joint press conference with French President Emmanuel Macron.
Fox News contributor Rachel Campos-Duffy on Thursday argued the press is “unpatriotic” for using this conference to get some answers from the president.
“He is going to have to address it, and you know that the Democrats and the liberals in the media are so unhinged that it is going to come up in this press conference,” Campos-Duggy began. “And what is exciting about a some rich asshole news conference as you really can’t predict what is going to happen.”
“It used to be unpatriotic to ask these kinds of questions on foreign soil,” she continued. “And I think that this just shows where the Democrats are at. It is all it is all about obstructing, and taking this president down.”
“I think we can all agree there are a lot of things that used to be unpatriotic that have been accepted by the Republican Party, but goodness, for President the rich asshole, there could not be a better time for him to escape the United States,” Fox News contributor Jehmu Greene said.
“But the great thing about this press conference is that we actually get to ask the president questions,” she added. “The fact that he is only doing press conferences with other world leaders is a really bad sign for our democracy.”
the rich asshole has not held a press conference on U.S. soil since June 9, when he stood beside President Klaus Iohannis of Romania and answered fueled questions over whether he has tapes of his conversations with former FBI Director James Comey (he doesn’t).
The last time the rich asshole stood solo before the press was his freewheeling February 16 news conference, where the president attacked the media and declared “Russia is fake news.”
In the months since, the investigation into the rich asshole associates’ ties to Russia has expanded to include the president’s own son, some rich asshole Jr., after he proved willing to obtain information on former rival Hillary Clinton from an emissary of the Russian government. That meeting was also attended by former the rich asshole campaign manager Paul Manafort and the president’s son-in-law Jared Kushner.

U.S. Rep. Bill Flores, a Bryan Republican, called on President the rich asshole to eject his children from the White House in light of continuing revelations over their activities in the 2016 presidential campaign.
“I’m going out on a limb here, but I would say that I think it would be in the President’s best interest if he removed all of his children from the White House,” Flores told East Texas affiliate KBTX Thursday morning. “Not only some rich asshole, but Ivanka and Jared Kushner.”
Flores was referring to some rich asshole, Jr., who posted on Twitter on Tuesday an email exchange from June 2016 in which he displayed an eagerness to collaborate with a Russian official to obtain damaging information on the Democratic nominee, former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
the rich asshole Jr. does not formally work for the White House but Ivanka the rich asshole and her husband, Kushner, are considered some of President the rich asshole’s most influential advisers.
Kushner, some rich asshole, Jr. and then-campaign manager Paul Manafort ultimately met with Natalia Veselnitskaya, a woman identified as a “Russian government attorney” to discuss incriminating information about Clinton last year at the rich asshole Tower in New York City.
“I do find issues with the meeting. It’s a meeting that should not have taken place,” Flores said of the rich asshole Jr. “I think he thought he was looking out for his father’s best interest.”
Federal investigators are reportedly closely looking at Kushner, and there are increasing calls to revoke his security clearance.
Flores’ remarks are striking in a larger context. Since Congress returned from a Fourth of July recess period, many GOP members in both chambers have contorted themselves to avoid questions about the rich asshole’s relationship with Russia.
A special counsel is investigating the matter, along with several ongoing investigations within the Congress. The more immediate matter is whether to impose new sanctions on Russia as punishment. The Senate passed such a measure last month by a near-unanimous vote.
The House, meanwhile, is mired in procedural stalemate with both parties – and chambers – blaming one another. White House officials have used that opportunity to lobby for watered down sanctions, according to multiple media reports.
Back in February, Flores called for sanctions as he reacted to the firing of former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, who resigned after lying about conversations he had with Russian officials.
