Congress has the power of the purse, huh? Yeah right. I guess this means he could have taken funds and just given everyone universal health-insurance at any time, huh?

Tell me again: what was that oath he took at the start of his presidency? Something about supporting and defending the Constitution? I guess it was whenever he felt like it?

    Ah, but you should not forget Trump’s related tweet:

    The Radical Left Democrats, and their “Leader,” Cryin’ Chuck Schumer, have made it very clear where they stand, and that is, ON THE SIDE OF CRIMINAL ILLEGAL ALIENS, AND NOT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. They are refusing to fund Immigration Enforcement unless the Republicans agree to their Open Border Policies, which will never, ever happen again. They almost destroyed our Country, allowing 25 Million People to enter from Prisons, Mental Institutions, and Insane Asylums, those that are Drug Dealers, and thousands of Murderers, many of whom killed more than one person. Because the Democrats have recklessly created a true National Crisis, I am using my authorities under the Law to protect our Great Country, as I always will do! Therefore, I am going to sign an Order instructing the Secretary of Homeland Security, Markwayne Mullin, to immediately pay our TSA Agents in order to address this Emergency Situation, and to quickly stop the Democrat Chaos at the Airports. It is not an easy thing to do, but I am going to do it! I want to thank our hardworking TSA Agents and also, ICE, for the incredible help they have given us at the Airports. I will not allow the Radical Left Democrats to hold our Country hostage any longer. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

      Dude even just reading his drivel is almost impossible with the fucked up casing everywhere. How do people make it through a complete paragraph (if that’s what you call just dumping out lines of text)?

        If you want the general idea of one of Trump’s tweets, I advise reading through it quickly like a stream of consciousness without stopping. Don’t worry about missing something; anything important should jump out at you.

      Really? “Cryin’” is the best nickname Trump can come up with for Chuck Schumer?! His nickname game really is getting weak.

      • Cowardly Chuck

      • Chuck the Schmuck

      • Chuck Boohoomer

      • Toupee McGee

      • Childsplay Chuckie

      • Cuckolded Chuck

      Those were just some half-assed ideas off the top of my head. And all of them are better than “Cryin’”.

        He’s not all that smart. His vocabulary seems incredibly limited.

        Note how many times he says something is “strong” when talking about nearly any topic. “We had a very strong meeting on…yadda yadda…”

        If any adult threw a sentence like that at me in real life I’d ask if their brain is broken. Strong? That’s the adjective you are going with?

          Well, of course anything he does has to be strong as he can’t seem weak in front of his somehow-still-existing sheep heard.

          I don’t know, calling Marco Rubio “Meatball” is pretty good (though apparently Trump denies this one).

          And listen, I’m not proud of it, but I definitely laughed when he referred to Covid as “Kung Flu.” But looking through the Wikipedia list of nicknames I gotta say, he’s definitely week. He reused “Sloppy” for both Steve Bannon (whomst he should have called “Shirt Stack” for those silly layered button downs) and Chris Christie, and also reused “Lyin’” and “Liddle” and others. Pretty unoriginal overall.
