And this won't make a single headline
'Ya gotta pay yer bills'
He even said it with a straight face.
Basically priming the cult to let Russia roll over Ukraine.
Yep, his followers don't have an opinion on anything until he tells them what it is...
Btw - where's his wife?
I mean, his 3rd wife.. you know...
The one he cheated on with a porn star while she was at home with their kid.
Not the second one.. the one he confused with the woman he raped. The second one being the one he buried at one of his golf courses...
Now I think Haley’s still patently unelectable and a racist but I do approve of the tactic of printing out copies of the cognition test Trump is so proud of taking
If she can annoy Trump with any of this, it'll be well worth it.
She replied to that word scutter
For tax purposes. Don't forget that bit.
Well said Michael Haley
"In a rare move, Michael Haley fired back at the former president, posting a meme on Twitter reading, “The difference between humans and animals? Animals would never allow the dumbest ones to lead the pack,” while mentioning Trump’s account in the caption"

Would Trump have had much appeal to military people anyway given his own dodging and the venom he used to hurl at McCain?
What Trump says doesn't really matter. He says so much mad, outrageous stuff that no one thing has much negative impact. Meghan Mccain definitely won't be voting for Trump, but I doubt the jabs at at her dad will make much of a difference for anyone else at this stage.
Her backchat will ring hollow when she has to bow down, kiss the ring, smile, clap and basically pretend she in any way believes Trump to be the best choice on offer.
Trump keeps pushing the rhetoric and without correction or criticism from the GOP, like a spoiled child, he will keep going and getting worse.
In addition to this deranged language, he is once again openly courting Russia, asking them to help him win again, by spelling out how, if he gets in, they can do what the hell they want (see post above).
The choice for president is binary. Biden gets a tonne of **** for being elderly and forgetful. This absolute lunatic has worn everyone down to the point that he can do whatever the hell he wants and outside of a courtroom, it pretty much doesn't ****ing matter it seems.
I mean, Donald, honey, you didn't manage it the 4 years you were President so why didn't you drain the swamp then?
And there it is, a demonstrable threat to democracy with his own words, albeit the same tedious crap about NATO funding he was rattling on about in 2016. Truly a movement with no new ideas.
"Oh but he was joking!"
"But he never started any wars!"
Not sure how egging on Russia isn't tantamount to starting a war mind you. Reads pretty clear cut to me.
Point of order but I see the comments headlined in both Journal and Guardian; and I'm sure in centrist and liberal US outlets it'll be headline stuff cos it's outrageous stuff.
CNN picked it up already, most US sites have something about it, even the NY Post
Haley's husband snapped back on Twitter, though it looks like that tweet is gone
"Michael Haley also appeared to throw shade at the ex-president, tagging him in a tweet with a a meme that read: “The difference between humans and animals? Animals would never allow the dumbest ones to lead the pack.”
Oh yeah even by Trump's standards it's an outrageous thing to say WRT NATO and American foreign policy. Effectively admitting he'd wave on a Russian invasion of "one of the big countries " in NATO is leagues beyond his usual rhetoric about that 2% spend he's obsessed about. And wrap that up with blatant language of extortion and it's heady stuff. We're far removed from Teddy's talk of Soft Power via speaking softly. Now it's just the dialogue of a bad mobster film.
A fair point well made...
He isn’t mentally stable at all, is he?
Well it isn't a new fact, this is just another example.
Just something else that some of his supporters have in common with him.
He's a peacemaker according to his on the fence fans...
In other words, "I only care when it affects me". Conservatism in a nutshell.
Also guessing his timing relates to that Carlson interview from the other night...
You misspelled briefing
A man literally prepared to sell out millions of people in countries across the world simply for personal gain.
How anyone can hear a word he says and think he’d serve them well is beyond me.
I can guarantee you that this is all in his head though. No country asked him... but his response is still unhinged.
Trump has always been Russia's Manchurian candidate. He's now at the "I don't care who knows any more" stage.
Trump is old enough to remember the Cold War. So why does he hate NATO? Why does he make positive comments about Putin?
