Privatize the good news. Socialize the bad news.

Pretty sure Uncle Ben said “with great power comes no responsibility, blame the democrats”
"A good leader must be willing to take the credit when things go good and the blame when they go bad"- Grandma Longneck, The Land Before Time 7 (yes there are more than 7 Land Before Time movies)
Aren't there like 12 of those things?
The 14 films were released as a Complete Collection DVD set later on June 14, 2016.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Land_Before_Time
There was also a season of a TV show, 5 albums and 14 video games.
Just in case anybody has an hour to spare, this is a YouTube video summarising all 14 parts. I have no idea why I watched this, tbh. I never even heared of the damn movies. I guess sometime it's three a clock and these things just happen.
Never apologize.
The Barbie cinematic universe is good also.
Yes but Trump is not a good leader.
A good leader...
We always knew this was his 'thought' process. It's been interesting seeing how his now apparently unfettered power has him just saying all of the abhorrent shit he really thinks out loud more than ever, though.
i felt like he has no train of thoughts, he just have one thought and forget wha tit was, moves on to the next, and then reconnect in a non-sensible way.

This is elder abuse.
Yes.
This elder is fucking abusing us...
I’m just saying [children] don’t need to have 30 dolls, they can have three, they don’t need to have 250 pencils, they can have five,” he added
This guy is so out of touch
The only people I can think of that buy 250 pencils at once are teachers.
So much for "capitalism better because material wealth communism one toothbrush" etc etc..
Funny how things turned out

“I’m just saying [children] don’t need to have 30 dolls, they can have three, they don’t need to have 250 pencils, they can have five,” Trump said.
Before it was 2 dolls instead of 30, or a 93% reduction.
Now it's 5 pencils instead of 250, or a 98% reduction.
But more broadly, if I were Trump, I don't think that I'd be focusing public attention on standard-of-living reductions among American children.
A man that literally shits on a golden toilet lecturing people about austerity is peak irony, though.
Apparently the toilet thing isn't true, came from a picture of some jeweler's bathroom.
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/donald-trumps-golden-toilet/
Snopes does say that he has "gold-plated sink fixtures in one bathroom on his private jet", though.
EDIT: And that jet, ignoring the furnishings, is something like 30 times the price of the jeweler's bathroom with the gold toilet.

This whole blame your predecessor for everything is just a privilege of the office. The problem is that you can't keep it up for long and the real pain from his policies are weeks and months away.
"Prepare three envelopes..."
His bullshitting is getting so lazy.
The fascinating part is not that his argument is
me good, he bad
... that was always his thing. Complain, play victim, accept zero responsibility. "I stand for nothing" or whatever he said.
What really flabbergasts me is that 50% of voters hear that and somehow think this a guy fit for president.
