Anger Mismanagement

The theme of today's post is ANGER!

First, we start with Donald Trump's anger at Robert Mueler.  

Li’l Donnie Trump went into a tizzy of a snit to throw a tantrum on Twitter.

 

This is a terrible situation and Attorney General Jeff Sessions should stop this Rigged Witch Hunt right now, before it continues to stain our country any further. Bob Mueller is totally conflicted, and his 17 Angry Democrats that are doing his dirty work are a disgrace to USA!

Once more, the sheer level of vitriol that Trump expresses about the Mueller investigation begs the question: “Just how fucking guilty is Donald Trump?” 

 

Li’l Donnie, if you’re under investigation for something you did not do, why would you want to end that investigation before it proves you did not do it? No one wants to stop an investigation unless someone is afraid the investigation is going to actually find something.

 

I think Trump is not so much worried about the answers to Mueller’s questions as he is pissed that the questions are even being asked in the first place.

 

Meanwhile, the trial of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort has gotten underway. Manafort is charged with money laundering and fraud related to his work as a pro-Russia lobbyist in Ukraine.

 

Paul Manafort worked for Ronald Reagan, Bob Dole and many other highly prominent and respected political leaders. He worked for me for a very short time. Why didn’t government tell me that he was under investigation. These old charges have nothing to do with Collusion - a Hoax!

Like the coward he is, Li’l Donnie can’t run from Manafort fast enough. Manafort worked for OTHER people. I barely knew the guy. Somebody should’ve told me he was a crook!  

 

Meanwhile, we have ANGER from Trump supporters towards the media.  

 

At Li’l Donnie’s rally in Tampa, Florida on Tuesday, journalists in attendance were confronted by shouting crowds of rally-goers wearing “Fuck the Media” shirts, screaming “stop lying” and extending their middle fingers. 

 

Just a sample of the sad scene we faced at the Trump rally in Tampa. I’m very worried that the hostility whipped up by Trump and some in conservative media will result in somebody getting hurt. We should not treat our fellow Americans this way. The press is not the enemy. pic.twitter.com/IhSRw5Ui3R

Other footage of angry rally goers chanting “CNN sucks” was quickly shared by Trump’s son, Eric, who added a simple addendum reading “Truth.” The message was later retweeted by the president.

 

Get a load of this tweet: 

 

This isn’t our best. It’s not who we are. I don’t always agree and am often upset with journalists but we are flashing warning lights now that we shouldn’t be flashing. The free press needs to be protected as well as their opinions. That’s why that Amendment was First. https://t.co/6QQhPzK78n

How bad are things when Anthony Scaramucci of all people is pushing for everyone to calm the fuck down?

 

And during the rally, Trump took credit for allowing people to say “Merry Christmas” again.

 

AND claimed that photo ID is required to buy groceries.

 

And with that I’ve lost the will to go on….

 

Laters!
