Murdoch's Wall Street Urinal Warns That Trump, 79, Has 'Lost the Plot'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The Rupert Murdoch-owned Wall Street Journal writes that President Donald Trump has “lost the governing plot” just a year-and-a-half into his second term.

The conservative paper has published a damning editorial about the president, who turns 80 next month, writing that he is destroying any chance of policy gains by chasing pet projects and alienating Republicans in Congress.

“President Trump’s personal political obsessions are hurting his presidency, harming the chances for further policy gains the rest of this year, and putting control of the House and Senate in jeopardy,” its editorial board wrote on Friday.

The editorial, “Trump Has Lost the Governing Plot,” detailed how Trump’s petty vengeance plans have derailed his second term.

1. He never cared about governing

He wanted chaos and a revenge tour. The WSJ certainly knew that in 2024.

7. According to John Kasich, Trump told him in 2016 he did not want to "do the work" of governing.

Trump pitched Kasich a "deal" where Trump would be President and do all the public, ceremonial stuff and Kasich could be Vice-President and do all the policy stuff from behind the scenes.

2. "pet projects" is a rather kind euphemism for corruption and theft

[Faux pas]

3. Lol they

put all of their dough on the wrong nag.

5. If the Urinal didn't endorse Orange Julius, the Murdoch-owned

11. No. It won't.

It’s way worse than most people expected.

8. 80 minus 21 days

That is all

9. Excuse me, but what governing plot?

???

10. You think? Maybe?

12. He looks totally out of touch with reality and he shows it daily. He CRAVES attention.

The paper wrote, “Does he want his remaining legacy to be a ballroom, an Arc de Trump, and payoffs for his friends from a fund that Republicans would denounce if a Democratic President tried it?

“Mr. Trump needs a second-year reset, or he is headed toward a second-term failure.”

13. Trump only cares for personal profit and pageantry

Governing? He hasn’t a clue and he could care less.

15. "Wall Street Urinal"

Thanks that made me laugh, and I sure as hell needed one.

[TBF]

16. Well, well, well ... someone sounds scared

"alienating Republicans in Congress" - this is really what the billionaire is worried about, losing Congress. He wants the gravy train to keep rolling long after Trump is gone. If democrats take over in a big way, billionaires might just have to pay taxes.

17. He has lost it and there is a general rage in the country

Mostly about prices and the war

[struggle4progress]

18. Really? "Takes the money and runs" is his scripted response to every cue.

His habitual jabbering and babbling in every unscripted circumstance goes back years
