Trump is in Washington to speak at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee conference Monday. His campaign has also scheduled a press conference at the Old Post Office Pavilion, which is being converted into a Trump hotel, Monday afternoon.
This is news: The presumptive presidential nominee of a
political party will, surprisingly, meet with other officials in the party.
Well, considering most of them are treating him like a late-stage syphilitic with MDR tuberculosis, it is kind of newsy.
But leave it to nitwit Ellmers to be on the Trumpfer’s bandwagon.
Was it Drumpf’s idea to have them dress as sailors?
The deserve each other.
The fact that Trump is talking to them is far less important to me than their gullibility and intelligence. Some of the Republicans are capable of differentiating a Demagogic Fascist from an ordinary TeaBagg bigot.
As loathsome as the latter is, the former is 1,000 times worse in every conceivable way. All that is necessary to verify this is the morbid fear of Trump from people with some familiarity (personal, scholarly, anecdotal, national/cultural) with Demagogic Fascists.
People like Elmers (who Steve referenced above) are the kinds of people who would cheerfully and completely go along with running Trump as the GOP Nominee
