i dont think he and the other GOP'ers believe they lost but rather the individuals who ran and didnt win are the ones who lost

if that makes sense

I have a hard time theorizing on what they’re interpretation might be, but the RNC’s own polling is really clear: the more they talked about a wall, the more they lost their Kavanaugh momentum...and in the places where both the local candidate and Trump talked the wall the most, they lost the most ground in the months before Election Day. The base gets worked up, but at the sacrifice of a LOT of independents. It’s a negative sum game, electorally, and that’s before they shut down the government for it.

Honestly, it’s feeling increasingly possible to me that losing disasterously in 2020 is a part of their survival plan. Become the outsider party again, blaming everything that’s wrong on Democrats, and simply dumping their base once they shrink enough (mostly through end of life) to be disposable. The one essential piece to that would be to avoid being exposed for having collaborated with the NRA to launder money into campaigns, which essentially makes Trump’s principle goal their own.

It’s a kid in a candy shop.

We have enough truly bizarre Trump photo ops out there now that would make a definitive ranking possible.

he must serve the McD's because the WH staff is furloughed, bc he is so goddamn stubborn about his goddamn wall that the government is shut down

literally he caused this problem

'hey guys, congrats on the national championship! you should come to my sick pad for a party! oh - btw all my staff are on unpaid leave. so it's a sick house but we have to eat cold fast food burgers. PS I hate most of you due to your skin color, and the rest of you because i have daddy issues. Who's in?!?'

also, he could have just paid a good restaurant to cater the event

You forget, he considers McDs to be a good restaurant.

Trump owns a hotel how far away from the White House?

5. Truck driver photo
4. Shouting at Baron on the lawn
3. Fast food for the world champion Boston Red Sox Clemson Tigers
2. The weird Saudi orb thing
1. Trump Tower taco salad / “I love Hispanics”

That’s a good list

The history books about this era are gonna look like they were illustrated by Mad Magazine, but I suppose the world will all be dead so

Is it though? I left out the Puerto Rico towel toss...
