Trump’s speech about his uncle’s connection with the Unabomber raises concerns

The Independent
@EugeneMcParland #TrumpSays is becoming a euphemism for #What_did_POTUS_promise_today while his toadies scramble to make sense of his increasingly erratic actions and pronouncements.

I would put strong emphasis on "Trump *says*" and await for further reports on what actually happened.

Since his financial backer went off script and made it clear that the immigration issue is really about making sure only properly indentured servants are to be brought into the US to take American jobs, Trump quickly pivoted away from that by shitting up the news cycle with his usual misdirection.

"Invading Greenland and Panama" is Trump once again getting the media to talk about what he wants them to talk about, and they're delighted to do it since this generates clicks and easy "reporting" by reposting spicy Twitter takes as "journalism." 😑

#journalism #TrumpSays

The list of #TrumpSays is already chock-o-block full of hateful, traitorous nonsense and ignorance.

Just perfect for the political party that he leads.

Trump says he plans to change Gulf of Mexico's name to "Gulf of America"

President-elect Donald Trump said Tuesday that he is planning on changing the Gulf of Mexico's name to the "Gulf of America."

CBS News
“We’re going to make this into an incredible country that can afford to take care of its people, and then we’ll worry about the rest of the world. Let’s help other people. But we’re gonna take care of our country first. This is about America first. It’s about: Make America great again. We have to do it, because right now we’re a failing nation. So we’ll take care of it. Thank you. Very good question.” #trumpsays

He continues:

“But growth also headed up by what the plan is that I just, uh, that I just told you about. We’re gonna be taking in trillions of dollars, and as much as child care is talked about as being expensive, it’s, relatively speaking, not very expensive compared to the kind of numbers we’ll be taking in.” #trumpsays

but those numbers are small relative to the kind of economic numbers that I’m talking about, including growth.” #trumpsays

In a rare occurrence, Trump here seems to acknowledge that he has diverged from the topic at hand. But he suggests that tariffs are, for some reason, the topic worth talking about instead.

“But when you talk about those numbers compared to the kind of numbers that I’m talking about by taxing foreign nations at levels that they’re not used to, but they’ll get used to it very quickly. And it’s not going to stop them from doing business with us, but they’ll have a very substantial tax when they send product into our country.” #trumpsays
