TOMs inner 6 year old lashes out

TOMs inner six year old is raging and cannot be contained within that large orange body.
Despite slowing over the first half of the year, the U.S. economy has remained reasonably healthy. Yet when the jobs report for July was released on Friday, showing a substantial slowdown in hiring, President Trump lashed out, claiming the figures were rigged and firing the head of the government agency that produces them.

Dmitri Medvedev was once president of Russia but now is little more than the Kremlin’s favorite online troll. Yet when he got under Mr. Trump’s skin with provocative posts about nuclear war, Mr. Trump, already increasingly infuriated by President Vladimir V. Putin’s unwillingness to work with him to end the war in Ukraine, responded on Friday as if a real superpower conflict could be brewing, ordering submarines into position to guard against any threat. But on Friday, Mr. Trump, confronted with foes and facts that he could not easily control, displayed another side of himself, responding with disproportionate intensity and a distinct impatience.

His actions were part of a pattern in which he has shown growing intolerance toward those who will not bend to his will.”

The unhinging is evident to all. “I think he deliberately surrounded himself with yes men and yes women,” said John R. Bolton, a former national security adviser to Mr. Trump. “It’s more evidence he’s not fit to be president. This is not the way a president responds to either one of these situations.” A reminder to Bolton, TOMs not a president. He’s a dictator. An autocrat. When compared with the actual definition of president, he fails the match test.

The re-writing of history continues as well. TOM seems to think that if he removes from “print” events and facts from our country’s history, that they will cease to exist. Fortunately, we have memory. We lived through events. We witnessed the facts. “It would seem the most straightforward of notions: A thing takes place, and it goes into the history books or is added to museum exhibits. But whether something even gets remembered and how — particularly when it comes to the history of a country and its leader — is often the furthest thing from simple.

The latest example of that came Friday, when the Smithsonian Institution said it had removed a reference to the 2019 and 2021 impeachments of President Donald Trump from a panel in an exhibition about the American presidency. Trump has pressed institutions and agencies under federal oversight, often through the pressure of funding, to focus on the country’s achievements and progress and away from things he terms “divisive.” In a statement that did not directly address the impeachment references, White House spokesperson Davis Ingle said: “We are fully supportive of updating displays to highlight American greatness.”

Real history. The TRUE history of the US will always stand. And history will not be kind to TOM.
