Trump 21: Tweeting Us Into the Apocalypse

[Molly]

What an absolute shit show. The first thing I do when I wake up now is check twitter just in case he decides to do something like declare war on another country or incriminate himself.

I know @Molly. Every morning when I first open my eyes I think "Still here." Then I have to turn on the news to see if we're in the middle of a war with missiles being launched.

Another entry in the "You couldn't make this shit up" sweepstakes: "The Trump White House keeps mixing up the names of Asian countries and their leaders’ titles"

  Reveal hidden contents

...

Shortly after President Trump's bilateral meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping at the Group of 20 summit, a White House news release misidentified Xi as the leader of “the Republic of China.”

Xi is the president of the People's Republic of China.

...

Tsai Ing-wen is the president of the Chinese nationalist government on the island of Taiwan, which claims to be the Republic of China.

On Monday, China's Foreign ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said China received an apology from the United States. Geng told reporters in Beijing that U.S. officials described the mistake as a technical error.

On the surface, this may seem to be just a minor oversight. But considering Trump's previous wavering on the one-China policy long held by Washington, this could be taken as an offense by Beijing.

...

It was the White House press shop's second flub of the day. Earlier Saturday, they incorrectly referred to Prime Minister Shinzo Abe as “President Abe of Japan” in a news release detailing Trump’s meeting with the Japanese leader. However, Trump did correctly refer to the leader of Japan as prime minister during his remarks.

Saturday's gaffes aren't the first time the White House press team has misidentified world leaders since Trump took office.

In January, the White House misspelled British Prime Minister Theresa May’s first name, leaving out the letter “h,” in a memo and official schedule sent to the press.

The White House promptly corrected the error but not before several news outlets noted the misspelling was the name of a different, um, public figure: former adult film star Teresa May.

In February, White House press secretary Sean Spicer referred to Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as “Joe” during a news conference.

“Yesterday the president had an incredibly productive set of meetings and discussions with Prime Minister Joe Trudeau of Canada focusing on our shared commitment to close cooperation in addressing both the challenges facing our two countries and the problems throughout the world,” he said.

Prime Minister Trudeau made light of the gaffe during his remarks at the annual Parliamentary Press Gallery Dinner in June. Trudeau poked fun at his well-practiced and “normal” handshake — a reference to Trump's notoriously overly firm handshake — suggesting it may have contributed to Spicer’s mistake.

“You were all in Washington, you saw,” he said, addressing the reporters in attendance. “That handshake was so damn normal, Sean Spicer even forgot my name.”

The Trump administration has flubbed the titles of its own, too. In an April news release, it identified Steven Mnuchin as “Secretary of Commerce.” Mnuchin is the treasury secretary.

And during an interview with the Wall Street Journal in April, Trump said that “Korea actually used to be a part of China.” But as The Washington Post's Fact Checker noted, Korea was never under direct and official control by China, despite repeated Chinese invasions.

But gaffes and misspellings happen. President Barack Obama's press office misspelled President Ronald Reagan twice in a release in 2014.

The White House's recent gaffes come as the United States' ties with China have become more complicated.

Just last month, the Treasury Department announced new sanctions on a Chinese bank accused of laundering money for North Korean companies. The United States also approved a $1.4 billion arms sales package for Taiwan — a move seen by Chinese officials as an affront to China's sovereignty. Meanwhile, Trump has shown signs of losing faith in China's ability to pressure North Korea to halt its nuclear weapons program.

Last March, Trump's top trade negotiator, Robert E. Lighthizer, promised to forge a stronger relationship with Taiwan, saying in a statement that he “intend to develop a trade and investment policy that promotes a stronger bilateral relationship with Taiwan.”

Shortly after Trump's election, a controversial phone call between him and Taiwan's president, Tsai Ing-wen, risked upsetting the United States' relationship with China, which sees Taiwan as a renegade province.

The United States has, for years, had formal ties with China rather than Taiwan, and has acknowledged China's position that there's only one Chinese government. But Trump's phone call went against decades of diplomatic protocol under what's known as the “one China” policy.

Maybe if he had professionals working for him, the errors wouldn't be as frequent or as blatant.

That's a pretty significant ooops in regards to China. Either they're really just that careless and stupid or they're doing it on purpose in some sort of misguided power play (which would just further prove their careless stupidity...).

YES! "Kill ‘Fox & Friends’ before it’s too late"

Spoiler

Back when regular people watched “Fox & Friends,” it was bad enough to warrant killing the show. Back in those pre-Trump-presidency days, the program merely distorted the news in ways that reflected poorly on President Barack Obama.

The republic managed to survive the awfulness.

Now? President Trump takes his cues from the dreadful morning program on Fox News. Or miscues. Like this one:

...

Actually, 113 of those prisoners were released by the administration of George W. Bush — a point that “Fox & Friends” didn’t specify in a discussion of the matter.

The reliance of the president on “Fox & Friends,” already well established, took on a bit more menace this morning, as he tweeted this:

...

That tweet appears to derive from a “Fox & Friends” moment from Monday morning, in which a news-reader said this: “Remember when James Comey testified the material he leaked to a friend was not classified? … Well, it turns out he actually may have broken the rules. A brand-new bombshell report accuses Comey of putting our national security at risk. According to The Hill, the former FBI director’s personal memos, detailing private conversations with President Trump, contained top secret information,” said the report.

After hearing that tidbit, co-host Steve Doocy unfurled a literal whoa-if-true comment: “If it’s true, Comey broke the same security protocol that he criticized Hillary Clinton for. … Whoa! Blockbuster!” he said.

“Fox & Friends” tweeted this:

...

Not so fast. The Hill reported that “More than half of the memos former FBI Director James Comey wrote as personal recollections of his conversations with President Trump about the Russia investigation have been determined to contain classified information,” a report that rests on accounts from “officials.” Those memos were the stars of a spring news plume: Following his firing by Trump, Comey testified before the Senate that he’d passed along one of those memos to a friend — a Columbia University professor — with the objective of leaking it to the news media.

The notion that Comey was a leaker — well, that set off a round of recriminations among pro-Trump media outlets. How could a guy who’d run the FBI be guilty of a leak? The former director himself thought the the disclosure of the memo would prompt the appointment of a special counsel.

Yet as The Washington Post’s Philip Bump points out, there were seven Comey memos, four of which were identified as “secret” or “confidential.” The memo that Comey passed along for news-media consumption wasn’t among this crowd. “If there was classified information in the memo that Comey asked his friend to leak to the Times, that’s not yet been reported,” notes Bump.

Sure it has!

...

We’ve asked Fox News if it has any comment about this matter and have not heard back.

Later in the program, newly hired contributor Jason Chaffetz, the former congressman from Utah, helped to clarify matters. “It all pivots on whether the information he gave to that professor was classified or not classified,” said Chaffetz. “Fox & Friends” tweeted out a clip of Chaffetz chatting with the co-hosts about his work with Comey:

...

Again, “Fox & Friends” and Trump prove what a noxious combination they’ve become. The former churns out questionable information or mere pro-Trump cheerleading, and the latter amplifies it. Thus far, this symbiosis has clarified just what “Fox & Friends” is — a propaganda mill — and the type of media coverage the president fancies — straight-up sycophancy. The relationship, however, contains the makings of an eventual disaster, the outlines of which we can’t begin to fathom. Who, after all, knows how Trump will interpret the next slanted report from the program? How will he further distort its garbage? And what will be the implications?

We’ve already seen the damage that can be done by Fox News in the Trump era. In March, White House press secretary Sean Spicer approvingly cited a report by Fox News judicial analyst Andrew Napolitano indicating Obama had leaned on British intelligence agency GCHQ to spy on Trump. British officialdom decried and denied the report, causing an international incident and forcing a temporary disappearance by Napolitano from Fox News airwaves.

Left to its own devices, “Fox & Friends” could do far more damage, unless it’s killed.

Gee, if Faux killed off that garbage-fest, what would the TT do every morning? We all know he wouldn't actually WORK. SAD!

Alexandra Petri is so snarky: "Does Donald Trump know who the president is?"

Spoiler

When Donald Trump said he might not accept the results of the election, we should have believed him. Now here we are, eight thousand years into his presidency, and he is still telling us about what an awful job Hillary Clinton is doing. (Do you want to break the news to him, or shall I?)

Why, Donald Trump wonders, are we wasting all this time looking into the election of Donald Trump, a man who did not even win a majority of the popular vote, when Hillary Clinton is there, amassing scandal after scandal, safe from her perch in the Oval Office?

Everything that Donald Trump does makes sense when you know that Hillary Clinton is president. He has plenty of time on his hands since he does not have to lead. He can tweet and put his head together with Sean Hannity’s head and study controversies. This is also why Donald Trump has been suggesting such strange things when it comes to policy. Who cares? What impact can it possibly have?

This is why he is always yelling about Fake News. The Fake News media have contumaciously persisted in their failure to notice that in spite of Donald Trump’s best efforts to stop her, Hillary Clinton is still in charge, and everything that is wrong in the country is the result of something she has done. Why won’t they admit this simple fact? “Fox & Friends” will, thankfully. But “Fox & Friends” alone is not enough.

Why isn’t this being reported? This is the greatest scandal. Why, in the world where Donald Trump lives, Hillary Clinton sat down at the G-20 summit and gave the country away. GAVE IT AWAY! She just handed it to them. Macron said “I don’t want this! Why have you given it to me?” but he figured he could dispose of it later in some sort of reverse Louisiana Purchase, and Merkel just threw up her hands. Also Chelsea kept her seat warm, and she received UNEARNED ACCLAIM for so doing. It was a GREAT SHAME, and nobody talks about it!

(In the world that I can see, Donald Trump went into a room with Vladimir Putin and suggested that we form a joint force on cybersecurity together, but that just CAN’T be what happened because it is so absolutely idiotic.)

Thank heavens that Donald Trump is still there to keep tabs on her. He even went to the G-20 summit, where EVERYONE was discussing the fact that John Podesta refused to give the DNC server to the FBI and the CIA. I mean EVERYONE. Everyone! (Now that same Everyone is discussing how he rescued a Marine’s hat.) His son is helping, too, eagerly meeting with anyone and everyone who said they might have damaging information about Hillary Clinton. Good! She must be stopped. Donald Trump won the electoral college, was inaugurated, appointed a cabinet (somewhat) and yet — she is still inexplicably president, still running the country, and everything wrong is still her doing. How can we bear to let this go on? With luck, he will bring down this administration.

Yes, it does feel like eight thousand years...

Hey, stop picking on the president!  Do you have any idea how many new people he's met this year?  Some of their last names are hard to remember, not to mention pronounce!  And he's supposed to remember where the new friends are from?  And lots of them don't even speak English!  How dare they want to meet with him and not speak his language (literally and figuratively)!  And some of them probably don't even like golf!

The NYT has an op-ed on The Culture of Dishonesty

It starts with all the stuff we know already about 'The Meeting', and then...

Quote

[...] his shifty statements are also further evidence of how freely his father and the people around the president contort the truth. Only six months in, President Trump has compiled a record of dishonesty — ranging from casual misstatements to flat-out lies — without precedent in the modern presidency. Equally disheartening is his team’s willingness to share in his mendacity. [...]

If a culture of dishonesty takes root in an administration, how can Americans believe anything its officials say? Take, for instance, the matter of whether President Vladimir Putin of Russia personally directed Moscow’s hacking of the 2016 presidential election. In statements dating from his first days in office until the eve of his meeting with Mr. Putin in Germany last week, when he said “nobody really knows,” Mr. Trump has deflected and sought to discredit his own intelligence agencies’ finding that Moscow, at Mr. Putin’s direction, tried to disrupt the election to help him win. Rex Tillerson, the secretary of state, said after the American and Russian presidents met in Hamburg that they “had a very robust and lengthy exchange on the subject” and that Mr. Trump had “pressed” Mr. Putin on the issue. Later, Mr. Trump made much the same claim on Twitter. The Russian foreign minister, Sergey Lavrov, had quite a different version of the facts, suggesting that Mr. Trump had characterized the hacking controversy as a “campaign” against Russia in which “not a single fact has been produced.” So whom should Americans believe? In a more credible administration, who would ever ask?

That last question is a poignant indicator of these troubled times.

Quote

On Sunday, before Donald Trump Jr. acknowledged that there was a Clinton-related aspect to the meeting, Reince Priebus, the White House chief of staff, was on Fox News suggesting that the Veselnitskaya episode was “a big nothingburger” for the Trump campaign.

I read an as yet unconfirmed tweet (and dang, of course I can't find it now...) that Rancid Penis was caught on tape entering the Trump Tower on June 9, 2017. If this is true, it's even more proof that what we suspect is true: a lot of people from the campaign and in the current administration are involved. I think it's quite probable that the list of who isn't involved is considerably shorter than the one of those who are.

Quote

Meanwhile, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, deputy press secretary, blew more smoke: The “only thing I see inappropriate” about the meeting, she said, is that it was leaked to the media.

I'm sorry... I just can't... heh... heh-haha.... bwha-hahahahaha....

Let me get this straight. You say someone leaked this. This would be before anyone involved admitted it happened? Because if we already knew there was a meeting because one of the attendees admitted it, then it wasn't "leaked." And if we had to wait for someone to "leak" it before the attendees admitted it, BIG PROBLEM. Something they were suppose to do.

Then Donnie J gives one story, then changes it and admits they were looking for dirt. Seriously, you arrogant hack, your shtick is wearing thin. Who would have leaked this? It was in the freaking Trump Tower! I'm pretty sure random strangers weren't just wandering around the room.
