Truck Fump

This president played to the ignorance and the base emotions of many
American citizens – those who voted for him, no matter why they voted
for him, bought the snake-oil he was selling. “I am the miracle cure,”
he steadfastly proclaimed, lacking little knowledge or evidence, and
then he called bullshit on the many people who cited sources claiming
otherwise. He was just up there crying “fake news!” at those who
disagreed with him, and voters totally bought it. Nothing seemed to
matter. Not  the expertise or experience of his opponents or his
critics, not the complicated nature of the problems and issues at stake,
not the risky side effects, not the inevitable consequences.

President Donald Trump’s team made little effort to consult with
federal agency lawyers or lawmakers as they churned out executive
actions this week, stoking fears the White House is creating the
appearance of real momentum with flawed orders that might be unworkable,
unenforceable or even illegal.

The US president said meeting Enrique Pena Nieto would be “fruitless”
if Mexico didn’t treat the US “with respect” and pay for a new border
wall.
