Trump has a weirdly predictable habit of accusing disgruntled ex-administration members of begging: CNN

Published

on

CNN’s Daniel Dale has noticed a pattern when it comes to President Trump: When he falls out with a former supporter or administration member, he slanders the person by claiming they ‘begged’ him for something — and former national security adviser John Bolton is the latest example of this pattern.

In the wake the earth-moving New York Times report that cited leaks from an unpublished manuscript of Bolton’s upcoming tell-all book, Trump fired off a series of tweets at Bolton with questionable grammar, one of which claimed he “begged” Trump for a “non Senate approved job.”

“For a guy who couldn’t get approved for the Ambassador to the U.N. years ago, couldn’t get approved for anything since, ‘begged’ me for a non Senate approved job, which I gave him despite many saying ‘Don’t do it, sir,’ takes the job, mistakenly says ‘Libyan Model’ on T.V., and many more mistakes of judgement, gets fired because frankly, if I listened to him, we would be in World War Six by now, and goes out and IMMEDIATELY writes a nasty & untrue book. All Classified National Security. Who would do this?” Trump tweeted.

Dale then cited other examples of former Trump allies who got the beggars label.

Mitt Romney: “Mitt Romney never knew how to win. He is a pompous ‘ass’ who has been fighting me from the beginning, except when he begged me for my endorsement for his Senate run (I gave it to him), and when he begged me to be Secretary of State (I didn’t give it to him). He is so bad for R’s!” Trump tweeted on October 5, 2019.

Omarosa Manigault Newman: “She never made it, never will,” Trump tweeted on August 13, 2018. “She begged me for a job, tears in her eyes, I said Ok. People in the White House hated her.”

Steve Bannon: “Michael Wolff is a total loser who made up stories in order to sell this really boring and untruthful book,” Trump tweeted on January 5, 2018. “He used Sloppy Steve Bannon, who cried when he got fired and begged for his job. Now Sloppy Steve has been dumped like a dog by almost everyone. Too bad!”

There’s a burgeoning effort to reclaim Christianity from oppressive Christian nationalists

Published

on

Some may be surprised to learn that Wendsler Nosie Sr., former chairman of the San Carlos Apaches and a non-Christian, was at the center of an event that may someday be seen as a quiet turning point in the history of the struggle against the Christian Right. The Battle for the Bible: Christian Nationalism and the Movement to End Poverty, a one-day conference held in late January, went entirely unnoticed by the media. But the event nevertheless highlighted a burgeoning effort to reclaim a prophetic version of Christianity, history, and religious freedom while building power on behalf of the poor.

Trump’s post-acquittal speech was an ‘avalanche of grievance against everybody’: CNN’s Gloria Borger

Published

on

The day after his acquittal in the Senate, President Trump went on TV and lashed out at his political enemies on live TV in a speech that CNN's Brianna Keilar described as "unscripted, vindictive, at times profane, angry, rambling response to his impeachment acquittal."

Keiler turned to CNN contributor Gloria Borger and asked her thoughts on the "enemies list" Trump rattled off during his speech "on the heels of a number of Republicans voting to acquit him, citing that they think he's learned his lesson, which clearly he has not."

Published

on

President Donald Trump on Thursday held an hour-long address to the American people in which he attacked his political opponents and shouted expletives while Republican lawmakers cheered him on.

Below are the most insane moments from the president's post-impeachment rant.

1.) Trump says that Rep. Steve Scalise's (R-LA) wife really loves him because she was visibly upset after he got shot.
