Last week Cheeto-in-Chief read from a teleprompter and acted like an adult for about an hour. He quickly received pats on the back, praise from the media (which he has previously vilified), stayed remarkable quiet on Twitter for the next 24 hours and the republican party was tickled
pink red that he gave an unremarkable politician-type speech. Yay!
Really? You want to give him a sticker for
that? Don't "yay" him for acting presidential- that's his
job. Which he has had for over a month now and flooded the swamp with dimwits just like himself btw. Don't praise him for reading the teleprompter and simply
not yelling. Don't laud him for
not being an asshole for a moment in time. He's still the tiny-handed puppet for the aforementioned replenished swamp of über rich racist sexist ignorant fools that is his administration.
So he
didn't yell gave a stump speech. In it he
said he condemns the hate crimes flourishing under his tenure, and judge him on what he said. But he also judge him on what he
doesn't say. His tolerance and downplaying the sheer volume of hate crimes matters too. The lack of those words matter just as much, maybe even more.
