If you wanna get rid of this guy

Journal by fustakrakich

Just show his press conferences raw and uncut. The takeaway is:

...watching just one press conference from Otay Mesa helped me understand how the process of reporting about this president can mask and normalise his full and alarming incoherence.

Expose a little of this, and you just might make the sale.

Oh, and misprision is a word. Something you see every day in your elected government. Which means, the problem is not intractable. In fact, the solution is most trivial.

    If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit. It's an ages old tactic for suck ups. And, no, Trump's bafflement tactics aren't any worse than half the rest of the political world's bafflement. Listen to uh-uh-uh Bernie for awhile, and compare that nonsense to Trump. Bush was good with that, as was Obama. I mean, WTF was "Hopey-Changey" all about?

    Let us remember that the television Trump that most of America swooned over was just as full of bullshit as President Trump.

      Trump had a background in reality TV and even acted as his own PR guy, John Barron/Miller. The hustle paid off.
