From Trump’s twitter this morning
|
Watched protests yesterday but was under the impression that we just had an election! Why didn't these people vote? Celebs hurt cause badly.
We are told, time and again, not to try to interpret what Donald Trump says, but to take it at face value.
Okay. At face value, this arrogant, ignorant piece of shit just said to the millions who protested for basic women rights (among other things) that they were too stupid to vote and are too ignorant to follow anyone but celebrities for their values and beliefs.
Trump’s approach to everything is to put down his enemy (which is all of us who did not vote for or support him) and prop himself up. He’s a man without the burden of a conscience. He’s a person who was not taught, like the rest of us, that there is virtue in empathy and not seeing oneself as the center of the universe.
As a result, we are left with the worst possible alternative for the most important position in the land. We’re stuck with a man who looks down on all of us, will take revenge on those who don’t revere him, and gets a real thrill out of bullying.
God help us all.
UPDATE 10:30AM:
Always the reactionary, Trump’s latest tweet is as follows:
Peaceful protests are a hallmark of our democracy. Even if I don't always agree, I recognize the rights of people to express their views.

Once again, a Trump version of what should have been said. There was no reason to mention his disagreement. That is, as always, a power position. Remember, I’m the President and the decisions are mine.
…but also, this is a reminder that this guy lives and dies by the approval of the masses, and the more masses we have, the more he may bend our way (despite the hard line from the GOP).
If this, however, was tweeted by his family or staff, fuck him sideways (there’s a good likelihood of that given the lack of anger in this followup tweet).
If not, lets hope this is some form of hope here.
