Trump has no one to blame but himself for his three retarded own goals this week

1.) Giving a piece of shite like John fricking Bolton actual say and input on matter of foreign policy of the United States of America. That is indefensible and is completely the opposite of what Trump ran on during the campaign. Period. Bolton is the embodiment of the very worst elements of the Bush admin that led to Obama and democrat super majorities in Congress and he needs to stay forever banished to being a glorified talking head.

2.) Making a retarded veto threat and then backing off of it like a chicken shite after getting absolutely nothing in return after the threat. You never ever make a threat if you're not prepared to carry it out after getting nothing in return which is exactly what happened today. Congress now knows they can ignore him if he makes another veto threat like that. Stupid. Like Obama and the red line.

3.) Actually signing the Omnibus bill that is the very essence of the classic washingtion swamp. He did nothing more than enable the drug addicts in both parties and he should be ashamed of himself for that. If he had the balls to do it, he would call out least either Ryan or Mitch and express no confidence in their leadership to send a message.

frick Trump for his reckless stupidity this week.

Someone photoshop Trump into this own goal gif.

It's hard for me to have a coat at this point. I don't know what's wrong with him.

Oh I know what's wrong with him.

he has three problems.

1.) He has a catastrophically bad problem of letting the last person he's spoke to influence him to do whatever he's doing and reports of Mattis persuading him to sign the bill is a good example of that.

2.) Letting people flatter the frick out of him into getting a job in his administration like Bolton constantly blowing smoke up his arse being a prime example of that.

3.) Trump is tying to curry favor with neocons and the washington swamp and has never worked and will never work as they're just going to stab him in the back as its in their nature to do so.

The own goals started with the tariff nonsense, the economy was starting to purr after the tax cuts and sadly the man can't get out of his own way. He should have let it be until after the midterms.

Now he hires the biggest NeoCon in the entire Bush era in Bolton and after the signing of the omnibus bill the swamp just got ten feet deeper folks.

I just can't get over that retarded veto threat and then backing off of it after getting nothing in return. That was essentially a Bush 41 read my lips moment.

What the frick?

He was better off signing it in private. He only drew more attention to himself and the abortion that's this omnibus bill.

I've always known it was there but that was pretty well contained as it didn't result in abomination hires that is detrimental to the United States and base splitting signings of a bill like this omnibus until this week.

Was willing to give him a pass on Bolton because the buck stops with Trump and for sure he wouldn't be easily influenced right? I mean Bolton would just rattle the cages of NK and some others. Win win.

Amen. And what makes it worse is that he was apparently so easily influenced by Mattis just before signing, during lunch. I mean, a fricking lunch time conversation did this.

Trump abandoned every motherfricking thing he advocated for, to save military spending, when he could have forced the issue and gotten it anyway.

Over lunch.

Lunch.

So now I don't feel good about Bolton not having the potential to negatively influence Trump. And I also want to tell Mattis that he needs to just straight get fricked. That's some shady bullshite to pull.

Amen on this one too.

Trump has made some good moves with regard to dealing with the SC and that relentless witch hunt. Apparently it wore him down and he got weak.

There's still a good six months left but as of now I foresee:
- Dems take House.
- Impeachment.
- No conviction in Senate, maybe.
- Trump agenda finished.
- 2020 race wide open.

A year ago, Dems had come so unhinged, Trump was a lock for 8yrs. He will now be lucky to finish 4. This could all change of course but it's not looking good.

Trump better have some aces up his sleeve.

Actually to be fair, that is exactly what he campaigned on and promised the rust belt.

If he was going to have a shot in 2020 of winning those states again, he had to deliver on that.

Besides, China has been beating the shite out of us with intellectual property theft and that has to stop. Who knows if tariffs are going to help with that?

However, Bolton and the omnibus is not what he campaigned on and is the very essence of the own goals that I'm talking about and he has no one to blame but himself.

He's got zero political discipline man. His handlers can't reign it in, and he just keeps shooting himself in the foot by not even considering the tactics of the political game. This liability has been obvious since he started running, and I thought he might learn a little but I guess a guy in his 70s is who he is at that point.

He was going to sign it at the end of the day. He's not exactly an ideological purist, and his party does not want to eat another shutdown the Dems would absolutely blame on him/them by extension. So you don't make a statement, sign the fricker, and start pushing buttons on immigration or whatever will distract this weekend.

Trump doesn't have the personality to achieve what he sold. Maybe the blue wave will help him find himself and be more willing to tell Congress to eat a dick. He's gotta get better at the game by 2020 for conservatives.

Lion Trump showed weakness today and now he's a cub and the democrats and GOPe smell his blood in the water and are about to bite to the bone.

Hell they did that already.

You've been watching TV news. Trump was never going to veto this bill. The veto """threat""" was fair warning for the FY2019 budget due in September.

Apparently there's language out there meaning there will be no FY19 bill. I guess it's up or down on a CR for this one signed today? Confusing right now, but it looks like Trump got suckered.
