Whether it’s military aid or ventilators, a foreign ally or an American governor,

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again:

You cannot count on Donald Trump to do what’s right for this country.

You can count on him to do what’s right for Donald Trump.

6. Trump will never realize that what's good for the country is in his best interest

He is a short sighted pea brained moron. If he had devoted himself to serving all of us and selflessly striving to always do the right thing at all times, he would have benefited personally tenfold. That would have also garnered him the respect and admiration he lives for.

But he is lazy, unwilling to shift focus off himself for even second and completely relies on the powers of manipulation and film flam. Every path he takes is a shortcut that leads to the worst possible outcome for the greatest number of people.

What Donald Trump thinks is right for him is sure as hell wrong for this country every time and without exception.

7. Nail it.

What's right for Moron will always involve a payday. He's a greedy fraction of a man - among his other charming characteristics.

My apologies to men.

8. K & R...for truth...nt

[Guilded Lilly]

9. Adam, I've so missed your truth! K&R

[Martin Eden]

10. I would amend Schiff's last statement

You can count on Trump to do what he believes, in the moment, is right for himself.

He's too damned ignorant and mentally impaired to calculate what best serves his own long term interests. Six bankruptcies attest to that.

[wnylib]

23. Trump thrives on failures and actually

prefers them because he lives for the flim flam game. He gets a psychological payoff from duping people. It's what makes him tick. The more failures, the more opportunities to pull a con act.

Sometime early in his life, he chose to pursue image over substance. Who knows why? Too much early life criticism for mistakes and not enough praise for doing well? So then he decides that substance doesn't matter anyway, only the image of it. Every time he dupes someone reinforces his feeling that he's right to do as he pleases, success or failure, and just project it as success. By now, he is so skilled at it, and has gained so much self-satisfaction and artificial self-esteem from con ganes, that he believes it proves he is smarter than everyone. It is so ingrained in him that he is incapable of functioning any other way.

So he gains self-esteem from the con act. Lives for it to reinforce the self-image he has created. Every failure is an opportunity to use his con skills to make himself feel better.

30. Overindulged child trumpoid

Trump dithers while people die.

At least Ner had a violin

[wnylib]

32. Some indulgence, yes. But I'd bet

there was also psycholigical abuse, maybe physical. Indulgent mother and misogynistic, abusive father.

[Nululu]

34. No excuse

Trump never grew up. Having abusive parents while living in the lap of luxury doesn't matter to me. We're responsible for our actions.

His cruelty to others is well documented. He grew up surrounded by "servants" and continued to treat people that way. He believes everyone is servile to him with a massively inflated ego.

[wnylib]

35. My description was not an

excuse. The only time I ever use the word "excuse" in connection with Genocide Don is to say that he is a lousy excuse for a human being.

My description was only to point out what we are dealing with regarding him and his followers. It helps to know your enemy in order to know what to expect and how to counter it and deal with it. I have my own thoughts on how to stop it, but can't post them.

Before covid 19, I was mobilizing people to donate to organizations handling the refugees at our southern border and planning to go there myself to assist those agencies in helping human trafficking victims as well as refugees. I have also been an advocate for women and children in abusive situations. I am on a church committee that allocates funds for needy people in our community, including assistance to parents currently trying to educate their children while schools are closed.

There is no way that I would excuse or enable the misogynistic and sadistic behavior, policies, and programs of this circus side show that masquerades as a government administration. I share your contempt for them.

[wnylib]

36. BTW, I am in NY state, surrounded

by covid cases, although my immediate community has fewer ones than some others. Our committee to allocate funds still meets, discusses decisions, and votes, via group e-mails. The church still solicits donations from "people with resources" for these programs, via e-mail to parishioners, and has mobilized a committee to check on and assist people needing help at this time.

It is one thing to vent complaints about the scum in charge, which we need to do sometimes. But in the end, it is more productive to use that energy and anger to DO something about it.

[Nululu]

38. Agree

I hope you all stay safe.

[wnylib]

39. Thank you. Workin' on it. And you be safe, too.

[not_the_one]

37. Everything the turd does is according to plan...

Vladimir Putin's plan to fulfill Nikita Khrushchev's threat from 1959, to destroy America from within, without firing a single shot. "We will bury you".

The turd HATES America because no one (his cultists excepted, or course) will believe the load of crap he has been putting out his entire life, trying to transform himself from the epic LOSER that he is, to the stable genius BILLIONAIRE identity he is hawking to the public.

He IS about revenge against everyone he feels has "wronged" him, and here we are.

The turd is OWNED by Putin, ever since American banks realized him for the huckster he is, and quit loaning him money. HOW DARE THEY!!! Putin stepped in, filling the void, and the turd's coffers, now Putin has him by the balls and is squeezing. The turd's allegiance is now to Putin. NOT America.

Donald J. Trump is a treasonous traitor, and deserves to be punished as such. At the very least he should die in prison, along with his entire family of treasonous traitor spawn. THEN start on the treasonous traitors within the republican party that enabled him to BE the treasonous traitor that he is. FINALLY, go after ALL the hawkers of lies and misinformation, starting with the owners, Murdochs, Kochs, Mercers, Adelsons, Solov, then the ENTIRE FOX NETWORK (the money made supports the NEWS branch), and finally the Limbaughs, Breitbarts, et al (there is a ton of right wing media outlets, parroting all the lies and misinformation).

Take every last one of them down.

Oh, nevermind. That would be too divisive. We must move along to get along. Forgive and forget. Let bygones be bygones.

You know, take that FUCKING HIGH ROAD to hell that now has 17 layers of "good intentions" on it...

Yet, I repeat myself, here we are...

[SheltieLover]

11. K&R

So correct, as always!

[marble falls]

12. In the words of MFalls - You got that right.

[c-rational]

13. How true. K&R

[samplegirl]

14. Why oh why

can’t they find a way to remove him?

[ananda]

16. I know. Our plight is so dire now!

Remove him now!!!

[ananda]

15. He should add:

And wrong for everybody else!!!

[czarjak]

17. It's all just part of being "a great Christian"

[andym]

18. Adam doesn't quite have it right

You can count on him to do what he thinks is right for Donald Trump.
If he actually did what's right for the country it would actually help him or the most part, but Trump's too ignorant to understand that.

[MFGsunny]

19. MF45 POS in Chief. Full Stop. n/t

[titanicdave]

20. ....Truer Words....

....have never been spoken.......

[Amaryllis]

21. He does not understand that ultimately it will all come back to bite him.

[LisaL]

24. Maybe because nothing has so far.

[Mazeltov Cocktail]

25. Yes... exactly...

[littlemissmartypants]

27. Mr. Schiff gets it. Trump's a psychopath. nt

[niyad]

28. KNR for Chairman Schiff.

[live love laugh]

29. Small edit: You can't count on REPUBLICANS to do what's right nt

[Upthevibe]

31. Wow! Just Wow....n/t

[Tarheel_Dem]

33. As usual, Schiff discards with the bs, and tells it like it is.
