Donald Trump is his own worst enemy. Twice the courts have struck down the travel ban against Muslims he promised repeatedly during his presidential campaign. In response, his spokespeople denied that it was a travel ban against Muslims. For example, White House press secretary Sean Spicer said “It’s not a Muslim ban. It’s not a […]
The media is getting better at predicting the unpredictable actions of Donald Trump. As everyone expected, he pulled the US from the Paris climate accord. As usual, there is a very good post about this at Electoral Vote, which everyone should read. As Electoral Vote puts it, Trump’s announcement of the withdrawal from the climate […]
© Tom Tomorrow Don’t you wish the Trump presidency was really just a computer simulation? Here’s evidence that it might be. Donald Trump is now claiming (and tweeting) two contradictory things: The leaks bedeviling his administration are coming from the “deep state” — career government workers inside the government, possibly inside the white house and […]
It seems like almost everyone is on to Donald Trump. He finally gave a speech that was designed to be presidential. And his speech in the Middle East was actually presidential. Except that virtually nobody believed a word of it. He said reasonable things about Muslims. But Muslims are not so stupid. As one Muslim […]
It seems like almost everything Donald Trump complains about, he himself is guilty of. Here is a tweet from 2012 that is yet another example: Well, we got an independent investigation anyway, but the Justice Department had to do it behind the back of the White House. Ironically, everyone on both sides of the aisle […]
© Tom Tomorrow So the most insane news came out today. At the meeting that Donald Trump had with the Russians, which happened the day after Donald Trump fired James Comey, Trump bragged about all the good intelligence reports that were given to him every day, and then, actually told the Russians about one of […]
The White House can’s seem to keep their lies straight. The lies around the firing of FBI director James Comey are just the latest example, but it is a particularly egregious one, and a double whammy. When Trump fired Comey, he released a statement that said he was just following the recommendations of Attorney General […]
It is often said that passing bills in Congress is like making sausage. You don’t really want to see it being done. And the way the Republicans are trying to strong-arm their repeal of Obamacare is a prime example. The current focus is on the MacArthur amendment, which would allow states to opt out of […]
It should be obvious to anyone that Donald Trump’s claims to be a skilled negotiator are completely hollow (that’s a euphemism for “lie”). He isn’t even very good at being a bully. His entire history of negotiating is full of examples where he belligerently refused to settle a lawsuit… and then settled. Let’s concentrate at […]
Rolling Stone has put together a list of 100 WTF moments during the first 100 days of the Trump presidency. I guess they had to, because it is difficult to find 100 achievements of Donald Trump, a president that they point out has accomplished less than William Henry Harrison, who died 31 days into his […]
Fox News tweeted the following graphic in a truly pitiful attempt to make Donald Trump look good. The graphic shows the unemployment rate 100 days after each of the last four presidents took office: You have to be some amazing kind of stupid to think that a president can make any change to the unemployment […]
Today is the 100th day of Trump’s presidency. I wouldn’t pay that much attention to the first hundred days of any presidency, except that Donald Trump keeps talking about it. First he kept promising all the things he would positively, definitely do in the first 100 days of his presidency (none of which he has […]
© Lee Judge One day after trying to fund the wall, Donald Trump backed off and said he would do it later. Sorry, Trump voters, you got scammed. This is happening more and more, and seems to be some kind of strategy for Trump. He proposes something that he knows will not pass, doesn’t really […]
© Tom Tomorrow Ironically, this comic is an example of the very thing it is making fun of. According to Tom Tomorrow: This cartoon was initially inspired by Trump’s “Obama tapped my wires” tweets, and the laughably supportive GOP response. It was supposed to run a couple weeks ago, but I ended up bumping it […]
Three weeks before the election, Donald Trump gave a speech at Gettysburg promising a “100 day contract” with America. Here’s what that “contract” promised, put into a flashy graphic that Trump posted to Twitter: The tweet from Trump also said “My contract with the American voter will restore honesty, accountability & CHANGE to Washington! #DrainTheSwamp”.
