Hannity always takes a knee for Twitler

From Newsweek:

President Donald Trump is embroiled in a long-running verbal spat with NFL players over their kneeling during the national anthem to protest social injustice toward African-Americans. He has taken objection to their perceived disparagement of the star-and-striped flag, the national anthem and the military.

But on Wednesday night, the president talked through the “Retreat” bugle, a military tradition that serves to honor soldiers and veterans.

The president was speaking to one of his strongest supporters in the American media, Fox News’ Sean Hannity, at the Air National Guard in Middletown, Pennsylvania.

Mid-interview the “Retreat’ anthem started to play, and while others have stopped in their tracks to salute, stand to attention or pay their respects for the bugle, Trump sat with Hannity and continued to speak throughout it.

“What a nice sound that is,” Trump said.  “Are they playing that for you or for me?”

“They’re playing that in honor of his ratings,” he said, referring to Hannity. “He’s beating everybody.”

When it plays, soldiers stop and salute, and civilians place their hands on their hearts in a patriotic act observed by the military. But the president did neither for the sound that has served as a tradition since before the American Revolutionary War, in spite of his criticism of NFL players for protesting during the national anthem.

Guess his daddy wasted all that money he spent sending little Twitler to military school.

From Think Progress:

During his latest interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity, President Trump went on a confused rant about the economy, at one point falsely suggesting that stock market gains are helping pay down the national debt.

“I’m so proud of the $5.2 trillion dollars of increase in the stock market,” Trump said, referring to the bull market that began as the economy pulled out of the Great Recession during the months after President Obama took office.

“Now, if you look at the stock market, that’s one element, but then we have many other elements. The country — we took it over, it owed $20 trillion, as you know, the last eight years they borrowed more than it did in the whole history of our country, so they borrowed more than $10 trillion — and yet, we picked up $5.2 trillion in the stock market, possibly picked up the whole things in terms of the first nine months in terms of value.”

“So, you could say in one sense we are really increasing values, and maybe in a sense we are reducing debt,” Trump added, before Hannity quickly moved on to another topic.

The national debt is a tough topic for Trump these days. Though candidate Trump repeatedly promised to pay down the national debt before the end of his term, it has actually expanded under his watch. And the tax cuts for corporations and the ultra wealthy he’s currently pushing would only make the debt bigger.

Trump’s comments to Hannity were not the first time he’s revealed deep confusion about how the economy works. While he was pushing Obamacare repeal over the summer, Trump did an interview where he indicated he thinks it’s possible to purchase health insurance for $12 annually. During an interview last week, Trump unexpectedly claimed he wants to eliminate Puerto Rico’s $72 billion debt, saying “we’re going to work something out.” But in an indication that the president may not have understood what he was saying, White House budget director Mick Mulvaney quickly walked back Trump’s comments, telling CNN the next morning that “I wouldn’t take it word for word with that.”

Guess his daddy wasted all that money he spent sending Twitler to Wharton business school.

  1. Trump is a lying son of gun and it is all fake news re: everything that comes out of his mouth. He is senile, deranged and crude and knows nothing about anything that matters. His daddy sent him to so called good schools but apparently he learned next to nothing about history, society in general, the military and the list goes on.

    • He had everything handed to him on a silver platter, so he never felt the need to learn a damned thing. It would explain why he has no empathy, but there are plenty of people who grew up in rich families who are empathetic. His lack of any human decency is due to a hole in his soul.

      • I believe you hit the nail on the head. He does have a hole in his soul. Maybe that explains why is evil minded. I don’t think he has any redeemable chararacter points. I read where he wants to censor NBC news. As time goes on he continues exhibiting some of the same hate as Nixon who wanted to censor the Washington Post. Model T. still has rabid supporters and that is extremely baffling. It reminds me of how Hitler came into power.

    Speaking of the cranial-anal symbyosis, I’m reminded of something that spewed from Ann Coulter’s sewer hole that was funny; she observed that if Trump declared himself a communist, Sean would appear on TV in a Mao jacket!
