MAGA
Had to add a trillion dollars to national debt, increase deficits, to continue Obama's recovery. Wages are declining, income and wealth inequality expanding.
Gave Kim Jong Un legitimacy so that he can focus on his nuclear program.
Leave Iran deal which brought transparency and restrictions to Iran's nuclear program in favor of secrecy and uncertainty.
Embracing Israeli bullshit to eliminate a two state solution.
Corruption involving heads of nearly all federal departments.
Corruption, nepotism, emoluments violations throughout the White House.
Complete lack of maturity from the POTUS.
Taking children from their parents and torturing them.
etc.
No surprise with this one. Trump has always been a man filled with prejudices of all kinds - racial, class, regional, etc. It's only fitting that we learn that he also disdains and holds his own rural, small-town white base in contempt. As a guy who grew up in big cities with all the conveniences his family's wealth could provide, it shouldn't be a shock that Trump doesn't enjoy traveling to places that often lack those amenities, and being forced to hobnob and grovel to people that he no doubt privately dismisses as gullible, easily conned and manipulated white trash rednecks. He loves their adoration, but regards them as his social inferiors (including Jeff Sessions, apparently).
What about

These journalists are just rotten. I'm glad they are going to sanction folks in the future, but I find this highly unlikely given their uncanny ability to gloss over the past atrocities enabled and supported by many of the heroes of #theresistance.
And related - I'll never find a single thing that George W. Bush says or does in the public sphere to be decent. Fuck him and everybody that enabled his agenda.
RJ's reading comprehension fails him again.
GWB is/was not so bright and trusted too much the wrong folks.
But I think he is/was generally well intentioned. No, that’s not enough. But it’s something. And rj is correct, he did (and tried to do) some good things.
His statement is a sentiment about how he feels towards Bush. It is also future tense. He was not arguing that the man never supported a single piece of positive legislation or that he never did a decent thing.
