Bigger than Elvis in his prime.
Comments
Yesterday afternoon, President Trump posted this on his social media platform:
Some, like former columnists from the Failing New York Times, see this as proof of mental illness. But it’s clearly evidence of a genius problem solver. And who doesn’t want to see Elvis?

@Daryl: The problem is, he has always sounded like a weird parody.
@Steven L. Taylor: I mean, he *is* a weird parody.
He’s all the narcissistic foibles of the USA, writ large and stretched to parodic proportions, reflected back at us.
There’s also the habit, or whatever it is, by El Taco, and imitated by all his lackeys, of asserting great achievements, wonderful conditions, amazing victories, record economic growth, etc., without providing any evidence or even, in most cases, a single example.
This goes together often with the claim that a common, or even routine, action by the executive branch, is breaking new ground that no one else before had ever done. You know, like calling the family of a deceased soldier (though admittedly arguing with the family of a deceased soldier is unprecedented).
Why bother to do something like win a war or solve a problem, when you can just say you did, and did it better and in a more grandiose manner than anyone else ever did before?
@steve222: I never thought the Colbert Report was funny because all he was really doing was taking the medium insane wing of the Republican Party and making it look cool as “parody.”
The Republicans have since gone far past his parody.
@CSK:
Part of me wants to start singing: Taco, Taco man! He wants to be the Taco man!
The other part is wondering how else is he going to try to loot a few more billions form the treasury.
@Kathy:
Case in point. The DOD has designated the press office as a SCIF, and barred journalists from entering.
The justification:
“This is the most transparent war (sic) department in history…,” Jose Valdez, the acting defense department press secretary, said in a social media post. “The Pentagon Press Office has been redesignated as a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility due to speechwriters from the Office of the Secretary of War sharing the facility.”
So they’re hiding information in order to achieve maximum transparency. Put that in your doublethink and smoke it.
