Jill Biden did an appearance on Jake Tapper’s show. In any normal world, it would have been a lightweight exchange of ideas between a prospective First Lady and a journalist on a Sunday morning, pre-election. This exchange was noteworthy for two reasons: first, it is so remarkable and refreshing to hear an intelligent, articulate woman put together sentences again, after the inscrutable and strictly ornamental Melania has been our titular First Lady. Secondly, whatever gaffes Biden has made, pale in insignificance to the blithering idiocy of Donald Trump.
If the airports of 1775 or a “gun on every table” have slipped your mind, walk down memory lane. Every president makes a few gaffes. Obama slipped once and said something about “52 states.” He also put the wrong date in a guest book at Buckingham Palace. To err is human, etc., but what Trump is doing is not error. This is madness.
The dictionary should put a picture of Trump next to the word “gaffe.”
You know, of the last four Republican presidents the only one that looked normal was Bush, Sr. The other three each had their own form of stupid. Republicans like to have politicians they can feel superior to? Look down on? Or do they just not know any better?
Reagan wasn’t stupid so much as losing it to dementia – he had it when he was elected.
I hated Old Man Bush and still do. He was the kind of entitled weak man who develops a complex about looking strong. W inherited that from him in spades.
I think they like politicians who talk like they do.
I think the stupid like Trump because of that very reason. He makes sense to them because he only has a See Spot Run concept of the issues and so do they. Unfortunately, it’s not that simple.
And he validates their racist, selfish, ugly views.
No you have to tell them when the other guy makes a mistake.
HW Bush was FAMOUS for his mush-mouthed gaffes. He wasn’t much of a speaker.
Next month will see a re-launch of ‘Spitting Image’. For those who never sawhe original, it was a Brit marionette programme which attacked (viciously in some cases) politicians. One well-remembered sequence which ran for weeks ‘starring’ Ronald Reagan’ was “The president’s brain is missing”. A trailer for the new series includes Bojo the Brit, Don John and Vlad Putin.
I was so glad to see that show come back! Perfect for the times. Can’t wait to see ehat they do with T*rump
They also figured into the classic music video for the Genesis song “Land Of Confusion”.
