Apparently, he’s a lot more sensitive than we give him credit for, since we don’t give it at all. Yeah, that and a million bucks will get him the Brooklyn Bridge. He always wants everything to go his way, so he whines, cries, and rants. Those aren’t working very well for him anymore, but he keeps trying. He can’t handle any disrespect. Too bad for him. Respect to Raw Story:
President Donald Trump made his way to his home city of New York Monday to attend the NBA Finals game, only to be met with thunderous boos by basketball fans, which, according to a former senior Trump administration official, genuinely upsets him. “Getting booed in public really gets to him,” said the ex-senior Trump official, speaking with Zeteo for its report Tuesday on the condition of anonymity. “When I worked with him, he would sometimes call me to complain about it, sometimes when I was trying to go to bed.”
Riiiiight. He can’t stand the idea that no one likes him, and that’s his problem. It can’t be fixed, so there’s no reason to try. He never thinks about the *reason(s)* why it’s happening. He wants all adulation all the time, and that is not even close to happening anymore. He’s firing people in his cabinet and choosing idiots for positions (see: Markwayne Mullin already getting in trouble for a grandiose, impossible idea) to replace the idiots he had.
Trump’s announcement that he would be attending the NBA Finals game between the New York Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs sparked immediate backlash – including from prominent conservatives – over the disruptions his presence would cause to thousands of New Yorkers. Knicks fans told Trump over the weekend to instead “stay home,” and New Yorkers greeted Trump’s motorcade with “the loudest set of boos ever heard,” Balls & Strikes Editor in Chief Jay Willis claimed. And, according to a current White House official, it was well-known among those around the president that his attendance would be met with hostility. “We are headed into hostile territory,” said a White House official ahead of the NBA Finals game, also speaking with Zeteo on the condition of anonymity.
Oh, yes, New Yorkers are going to let him have it, and when you add his last-minute visit on top of everything else he’s done, hell yes, they’re going to boo him. If I had still been there, a special trip would have been made just to boo. Then add in Homan’s threat, and they are in trouble. New Yorkers don’t put up with bullshizzle. ICE is not going to have a good time there. They should send them to Alphabet City. Heh. They wouldn’t be so tough there.
As to why Trump would knowingly subject himself to such a public display of disapproval and “generate fodder for [his] enemies,” Zeteo’s Asawin Suebsaeng presented a theory. “Trump knew how big a deal Monday’s basketball game was, and his Blob-like ego couldn’t help but try to bask in the glow (the Knicks lost, by the way; and while it may be unfair to blame Trump, Knicks fans are not not blaming him),” Suebsaeng wrote. “Never mind that seemingly no one in the crowd wanted him there, and that people in attendance and outside the arena apparently agreed with the solid majority of Americans that his administration resplendently sucks. When the masses boo, it affects him. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.”
Yesssss! New Yorkers hurt his fee-fees but good!! More power to them. And everyone watching the game would have liked to have been there to boo him … well, the smarter ones in the country. Fans had to deal with a ridiculous amount of crap because of him, and that will piss off *anyone*. Sorry, not sorry, Donnie, baby.
See you soon!
Friends, I know everybody begs you for money. I promise you that, of all the outlets bugging you for spare change, we are the smallest and the hardest-working. We’re a bunch of old, disabled people, except one writer in his mid-50s. But the rest of us are in our sixties and seventies, and this is a labor of love. All we’re asking for is the ability to continue our quest to tell the truth about Trump and help ensure democracy survives. If you can help, please do. Thank you. Ursula
