Donald Trump action figure
by digby
The Trump administration wants you to stop mocking him and start giving him credit for tweeting, lying and making a fool of America and himself as well as taking credit for things he hasn't done. Oh and jump starting a new nuclear arms race and ginning up a war with China, our most important trading partner and military rival.
Here's Trump press secretary Sean Spicer this morning:
So the idea is everyone wants to talk about the tweets he sent. But I would actually focus on the action he’s getting. Donald Trump is not president yet and he’s getting action, successes and wins, both abroad and here at home.
Everything he does right now, he gets — he speaks for the head of Sprint, gets 5,000 jobs moved from abroad. And everyone starts to mock him. Oh, those jobs were already announced. They weren’t. The sales jobs have been a previous announce. These jobs were coming from abroad to America.
And instead of trying to mock him or undermine him, it’s time that people started to give him credit for actually getting things done.
They really seem to think that people will believe these pathetic little cons are the most important things a president does. And that's if they believe the lie that he actually did them, which he didn't. All of his "announcements" were for things the companies were already planning to do.
And yes, I recognize that his cult followers think he's a superhero who is "getting things done." But it's a fraud. But then that's apparently what they like about him. He's sticking it to the liberals and that's more important than anything else in their lives. In fact, it's more important than their lives.
