Trump called Roseanne Barr to congratulate her on huge ratings success

[DinkinFlicka]

You and your friends on the left make everything about Donald Trump

It's how every one of the two party lemmings operate based on who occupies the WH. Welcome to the age of wifi, unshackled opinions, and rampant self-righteousness.

President Trump Tweet:



Bob Iger of ABC called Valerie Jarrett to let her know that “ABC does not tolerate comments like those” made by Roseanne Barr. Gee, he never called President Donald J. Trump to apologize for the HORRIBLE statements made and said about me on ABC. Maybe I just didn’t get the call?

This is classic Trump for two reasons:

1) He loves to portray himself as an innocent victim. There is nothing innocent about Trump's antagonistic and combative public persona on social media. He has said many horrible things about other people unprovoked. Mean spirited behavior will usually be reciprocated.

2) He loves to use whatabout-ism (or whataboutery). This is the logical fallacy that attempts to discredit an opponent's position (in this case, Bob Iger of Disney) by charging them with hypocrisy without refuting or disproving their argument.

 

[DinkinFlicka]

ABC tolerates some comments, any negative comment about him or any R is fine.

Find one thing on ABC that even whiffs a fart of comparing a black woman to a monkey.

I will hang up amd listen.

IBAC? (Impeachable by any chance?)

I'll be honest, I had no clue she was black

If I didn't know better, I would think you were trying to bait me into using the middle finger...

[DinkinFlicka]

I'm sure Barr had no idea either, golfballs.

Did you know Louis CK was Mexican?

Maybe Trump would have been extended that courtesy if he had ever* apologized for the terrible things he's said about the many people he's insulted.

*correct me if he ever has. I'm not sure there's one apology out there and hundreds of insults flying around. He called Rosie O'Donnell a "pig" and people think he deserves an apology from somebody?

And we know that. Still makes him look small to tweet about it.

...or what he said about Megyn Kelly, just because she dared to ask some hard questions and do something besides kiss his butt unlike most of the Fox debate moderators.

I assumed she was Iranian since that's where she was born. :question:

If you are a conservative, it does zero good to apologize. The left doesn't accept apologies from the right. They only want to bury their opponents.

So conservatives think there is "zero good" in taking the high road?

It's not about winning your enemies over, you never will, it's about doing the right thing. As a bonus, you might win over some of those people that are undecided.

Clinton proposed massive spending cuts before Newt reached the position of Speaker of the House.

I’m going to need you to show your work on this one.

Really? You didn't consider the possibility that someone with a name like "Valerie Jarrett" could have been born to diplomats?

Apologizing to people that want to bury you is not necessarily taking the high road.

Exactly.

The best thing he could do is bust his phone and not be given a new one until he's out of office.

When the left sets their sights on someone they don't stop until that person is completely destroyed, if they disagree with someone they are relentless. Disgusting group of people.

Then just say nothing at all. Trump never misses an opportunity to play the victim card and use whatabout-ism, though. He has a need to make everything about himself.

He actually did when he first got in office in 1993, and Newt wasn't Speaker until 1995. It was about $250 billion in proposed cuts.

 

[Septic]

Counter his argument.

I already have.

Odd that he didn’t get it with the Dems holding majorities in both chambers.

I think he was a lone wolf among Dems at that time.
