Trump Log #61: Daily Deluge

I didn't like George W. Bush as president. At the time, I thought he was the worst president ever. One of the things I really hate Trump for, is that I now I am starting to like Bush. When Bush was president, I wasn't disgusted everyday when I read the news. Bush was quietly incompetent. His presidency was one of long and large travesties: 911, Katrina, two unnecessary wars and then, instead of paying for those wars, he cut taxes. But still each day, when I read my newspaper, it wasn't something new everyday like it is today. I couldn't have come up Bush log if I tried.

Now we have a Daily Deluge of embarrassments and outrages. The president's lie count, while in office, is up over 5,000 lies now. It is really exhausting to stay informed now.

Trump has had his big travesties also (Hurricane Maria and kids in cages), but somehow it seems the worst is yet to come. This is why you need to vote in November. We need a Congress that will control him.

Monday, September 10th - Trump is still obsessing over the anonymous New York Times Op-Ed. (Source: Washington Post)

Tuesday, September 11th - Trump's EPA is stepping back on their regulation of methane gas. (Source: New York Times)

Wednesday, September 12th -Trump is transferring $9.8 million away from FEMA to ICE ... just in time for hurricane season. That is shifting money from a badly needed program to pay for his pet project, a non-existent problem. (Source: NPR)

Thursday, September 13th - Trump claims that the Democrats have fabricated the number of deaths from Hurricane Maria in PR last year. He also claims his administration's response was a complete success.  All evidence is to the contrary!  It is not all about him. (Source: Washington Post)

Friday, September 14th - In his first public speech, Trump's new national security adviser, John Bolton, castigated the ICC (International Crime Court). This probably has a lot to do with the amount of war crime that the US is guilty of in the middle east. (Source: TheIntercept)

Saturday, September 15th - Trump's efforts to discourage migrant children coming to our borders is a miserable failure. This month they reached all time high of 12,800. In May 2017, it was as low as 2400. (Source: New York Times)

Sunday, September 16th - Trump's announces a new set of tariff's on China, arguably the toughest restrictions ever by a US president. (Source: Slate)
