Ruh-roh.

He’s not going to fire Jared, lol. Not unless Ivanka caught him cheating or something.
No ones telling him what he wants to hear—😂😂
He’ll probably find someone who’ll tell him convincing lies. Good, let him think he's doing all the right things and dig himself into a deeper hole.

I got this in my inbox today, in the 1600 Daily, or, as I like to call it, the Daily WTF:

The White House • June 8, 2020
The radical left abandons law enforcement

Keeping people safe is the first duty of any government. Whatever other debates about public policy our country may have, the basic responsibility to protect all citizens from violence has long enjoyed vocal bipartisan support.

No longer. Unable to appease or control its radical fringe, Democrats in elected office—from Congress to city mayors—have at last fully surrendered to the mob.

After extremist proposals such as defunding immigration enforcement, pushing to eliminate private health plans with “Medicare for All,” and ending American energy dominance with a “Green New Deal,” far-left Democrats ran low on fanatic proposals for their base. The riots gripping America’s cities this month offered a new opportunity.

Watch: President Trump “appalled” by “defund the police”

First, Democrat leaders refused to condemn the violence. Next, they joined the mob in condemning U.S. law enforcement officers. At last, they caved to demands.

“Defund the police.” Minneapolis’ City Council announced its intent to do it yesterday, and Democrats in Congress now want the rest of America to follow suit.

After the riots broke out, about 700 federal, state, and local law enforcement officers sustained injuries. At least 15 people have died, many of them African-American. Countless small businesses have been torched, vandalized, or looted. At least 150 federal buildings have been damaged.

It’s unacceptable. Any real leader knows that. The violence and killing must stop.

🎬 Minneapolis City Council President defends plan to dismantle police

President Trump wasted no time in responding. On June 1, he announced measures to protect peaceful, law-abiding Americans—including letting governors and mayors know that if they didn’t protect their people, the U.S. military would do it for them.

These efforts paid off, as most American cities saw violence subside and peaceful protests continue without rioting. National Guard troops are now able to withdraw.

Before those actions, the President made it known that racial injustice would not stand. He asked Attorney General Bill Barr to expedite a federal investigation into the killing of George Floyd. President Trump has taken numerous other actions to make our criminal justice system fairer, including signing the historic First Step Act in 2017.

Leaving entire communities to fend for themselves by defunding law enforcement won’t improve criminal justice: It will ensure justice for no one.

🎬 Press Secretary: No police means “chaos, crime, and anarchy”

The overwhelming majority of our police officers are heroes. They’re the ones out on our streets each day to protect peaceful protesters from the violent tactics of Antifa. Bad cops need to be held accountable; good ones need to be protected and supported.

President Trump is doing just that. Today, he held a roundtable discussion with law enforcement officials at the White House, where officers discussed responsible ideas for reform and ways for police officers to act as better friends for their communities.

Democrats should follow the President’s leadership, stand up for good police officers, and stop bowing to the insanity of their party’s radical, dangerous fringe.
Wow. Just... Wow.

I don't even know where to begin with this one. The man is clearly desperately grasping at straws. I only wish Democratic leaders hadn't used the word "defund" when talking about demilitarizing and reforming their police departments, but Trump's campaign still would have found some way to spin it.

Funny that the right wing doesn't have any problem with the word "defund" when someone applies it to Planned Parenthood.

Something to look forward to.



EDIT: Followup...

Yes, I was watching a commentator who usually covers all presidential speeches and he said he might not do this one. The reason? It would only be a political address and likely every word would be written by others.

Barr is going off script.

President Donald Trump insisted last week that he was down in his protective White House bunker for a “tiny, little short period of time” for an “inspection.” Not true, Attorney General William Barr spilled Monday: The president was there for protection from protesters.

“Things were so bad that the Secret Service recommended the president go down to the bunker,” Barr told Bret Baier on Fox News.

Barr revealed the news angrily, insisting that the president was in danger. “We can’t have that in our country,” he added, apparently forgetting he had just contradicted his boss.

I'm fucking speechless. Just when I thought this asshole couldn't possibly surprise me with his derangement any further; just when I thought he'd hit the earth's mantle at the bottom of the Marianas Trench, he has sunk so, so much farther.
