Thankful


It's a tradition for Presidents to "call the troops" on Thanksgiving. Trump did that today, but rather than thank them for their service and tell them he'd do everything he could for them, that the nation was grateful, etc. he was his usual self. He politicized the call.

Trump talked about how judges he doesn't like are terrible. He talked about how his daughter's use of private email for government work is really different than Hillary Clinton's. He talked about the caravan of horrible monsters from the south coming to take our jobs and eat our babies. He once again tried to discredit the intelligence services of the U.S. and their conclusion that Saudia Arabian Prince, MBS, ordered Jamal Khashoggi to be murdered. In short, his typical word vomit.

Keep in mind that while you're sitting down to turkey, stuffing, or whatever else your family enjoys (assuming you celebrate the holiday) around 6,000 American troops are separated from their families, eating MREs in the desert in Texas after erecting barbed wire for the last month as part of Trump's political fear-mongering stunt before the election. Trump dismissed concerns about those troops, saying they're happy to be there defending our country against poor and desperate families.

After the call, Trump took questions from the press and was asked what he was most thankful for on this Thanksgiving.
"For having a great family and for having made a tremendous difference in this country," Trump said. "I've made a tremendous difference in the country. This country is so much stronger now than it was when I took office that you wouldn't believe it."
Never ask a narcissist what he's thankful for because it will ALWAYS be himself.

What a disgrace.
