Folks, it's a policy Gish Gallop - we do NOT have to play along

In no particular order:

1. Greenland
2. Panama Canal
3. Annex Canada
4. WHO withdrawal
5. Invade Mexico

I'm probably missing some.

It's all meaningless.......Maybe not the WHO bit.........but it needs to relegated to the stupid bin.

Democratic pundits.........please memorize and repeat them all, before discussing ANY specific item with the media.

DU, please add to the list and tack it on as a precursor to discussing the next wacko idea floated in the ongoing gallop.

The media LOVE IT.

He plays them like a violin.

F--- the media, Dump and all his band of grifters and Nazi's and every pig-headed fool who voted for him.

And have a very beautiful and blessed 🎄 Christmas 🎄 ( or whatever you celebrate. I celebrate Festivus)

A CHRISTMAS ANGEL TO TOP YOUR TREE

It's more "build a wall" type bullshit.

He's trying to distract us while he & his buddies raid the Treasury.

It's the classic sleight of hand technique.

Deception is in his DNA.

The old, "look over there" while I steal one of your fries trick but with higher stakes & with our money.

The rest is BS

But then, we were supposed to wd from NATO.

But I think Trump really hates the WHO even more.

It would be nice if they would just start calling the psycho a lunatic, which would be the truth, instead of even discussing all of this crazy crap.
