Oh Don, a Lie Begets another Lie

Oh Don, isn’t it great that you have Karoline Leavitt?
When you lie, she explains it to the press and the public.
In other words, the system is rotten from the top down. Good work.
Don, let’s say that you say something outrageous, obscene (Democrats should be hanged), unhinged, ludicrous, incoherent, but most of all an out-and-out lie. The kind you have consistently made all your adult life as a narcissistic fraud.
It’s Karoline’s job as U.S. Press Secretary to go before the public at press media briefings to clean up your mess and attempt (somehow) to make your statement seem more palatable, acceptable. In this fashion Leavitt is a type of falsehood translator. Though it’s still a lie, she tries to verbally sugarcoat it into a more understandable and acceptable lie.
First of all Leavitt is like Pam Bondi (U.S. Attorney General), suitably blonde, the kind of woman you like Don, with Nordic Germanic features. We know Don you said and these were your exact words, that your own inherited German (ancestry) blood was quote, “good stuff.”
That means that other people’s non-German blood is not as good as yours. Superiority of blood was a central tenant of the regime of a dictator named Adolf in 1938.
I like blondes too Don. Leavitt is cute. But that’s not the issue here.
As your dementia progresses and you become more wildly unhinged from reality Don, as your unofficial advisor, I have come up with a list of things that are examples of what might be said. Then, how the Press Secretary could explain these kinds of statements to reporters to try and diffuse the anger the statements cause with the public.
Don, you haven’t said these. But given your recent wild outbursts particularly when someone mentions the Jeffrey Epstein child sex slave ring…today anything is possible. It is the Press Secretary’s job to make you look somehow a little more-or-less acceptably evil---to the public.
List of Statements:
For example, if I was a really bad President, I might say, “I want a Jew to manage my money, and a Negro to shine my shoes.”
If I was the Press Secretary, to tamp down the furor over that remark, I might say, “He (President) didn’t mean it that way. You liberals (reporters) are always trying to smear him. He meant that he wants a job for every American, and the President is doing a fantastic job of making that a reality.”
If I was a bad President I might say, to a slightly overweight female reporter, “Hey tons of fun! Grand Canyon hips…shut up!”
As Press Secretary to quell the public anger over that insult I could say, “He (President) didn’t mean it that way. That’s just the President being humorous, a little playful teasing. What the President really meant was that he would like to see more Americans slimmer and physically fit like our wonderful President is.”
As a bad President I could boast that “I can trash the economy if I want I can do anything I want.”
As Press Secretary I would say to the media, “The President was simply saying he has the authority to correct the damage caused by liberal traitors who are attempting to make this a Socialist State.”
What if as a bad President I said, “We’ll invade Venezuela, and once the shooting starts we won’t ask questions we’ll line them up against the wall those drug peddlers and mow them down. We can sort out the who and the what later.”
As Press Secretary to cool the uproar over that, I could say during a press briefing, “There is nothing wrong with forceful action being taken free of involvement by the Congress and its liberal traitors, who can’t be counted on to do the right thing. Our wonderful President is in full control.”
As a lousy President I might say, “The Democrats better watch out. I’ll bring back the guillotine.”
As Press Secretary I would counter that by telling reporters, “The President did not mean this literally. Prison terms are always an option for liberal insurrectionists.”
What if as a President who is obsessively and easily angered I said, “I want Jimmy Kimmel (the comic) fired and placed in charge of cleaning the toilets in the White House East Wing.”
As President I just had the East Wing torn down.
As Press Secretary I would say, “There is nothing wrong with the most powerful man in the history of the world forgetting a minor detail (East Wing gone), and criticism of the President is now considered a criminal offense.”
As a philandering President I might say, “I like to kiss pretty women, I grab ‘em and kiss ‘em. Do I ask for a birth certificate? Hell no, what’s wrong with that?”
As Press Secretary, I could make that obscenity seem okay by telling reporters, “The President does not have to apologize for his desirability as a man nor his circle of friends and who they are. Besides, a 15-year-old girl today is not as young as she used to be.”
Engaging in diatribes and BS takes no skill. Explaining it away to the public so that it appears almost reasonable---that’s an art form Don. Leavitt deserves a raise in salary.
