The Devil Is In The Details!

Do you think the Supreme Court is correct that a president should not face criminal charges for anything they do as part of their official duties?

If so, you know nothing about how Donald Trump dishonors his oath of office every day!

     The Devil Is In The Details

It's All About The Insecurity Equipment

Does Trump really believe that accepting the gift of a lavish 747 jet is good for the country or is it just good for Trump's ego?

The Qatari plane was built to haul a king around in ostentatious luxury.  The replacement Air Force One planes currently in production are being designed to haul a president around comfortably with extreme security measures to keep the  president safe and elaborate communications equipment that would allow him to perform presidential duties from anywhere in the world.  Granted the  replacement planes are over budget and delayed, but that just proves that refitting the Qatari plane will not be easy, cheap or fast.

For example, Air Force One has the ability to be refueled in flight by military tankers.  I doubt that the Qatari plane has this capability.

The Qatari 747 does have some features not found on the current and replacement Air Force One planes: insecurity equipment. 

This is all about Trump's ego.  That says a lot since Trump has the use of Air Force One just to shuffle him between his golf outings.

So let's suppose he gets permission and money to modify the free Qatari bribe plane (there is no such thing as a free lunch or a free luxury jet).  It will take at least a couple of years for the upgrade to be completed.  So we put millions of dollars into the plane and he uses it as Air Force One for a year or a year and a half.  Trump says the plane will then go to his library. Not a chance.  He'll fly in it (probably at tax payer expense) until he drops.

Most of the security equipment that had to be added to the plane will have to removed so it can't fall into an adversaries hands.  Who pays for that?

Even worse, what if it is not complete when his term expires?  Do tax payers have to pay to finish the project so he can fly it around?

There are actually two Air Force One planes.  Their use is rotated so there is always a backup ready when needed.  Pity the poor fool who has to tell Trump he has to use the old dumpy Air Force One for a flight.  The old Air Force Ones will probably be reserved for Melania or the kids.  

Or maybe Don Jr. will want to continue to use the Qatari plane when he is elected in 2028.

I've go to stop.  This is all making me nauseous.

 

 

 

Maybe Trump Isn't Bound By The Constitution

On Meet The Press yesterday, Kristen Welker asked Trump if, as president, he needed to uphold the Constitution.  He said he "didn't know" and he would have to ask his lawyers.  I immediately thought, what an idiot.

After I thought about it for a minute I realized he may have a point.  Maybe he can't be held to his oath to uphold the Constitution.

On inauguration day he took the presidential oath of office which includes ""I Donald John Trump do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States...".

There you go.  He has a point.  He said he would "to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution...".   He has no ability to be president.  He is a liar, a con, a grifter, an extortionist.  Add your favorite pejorative.  Those are his abilities.  He has no ability or competency to be president.  He doesn't begin to understand the duties, requirements and responsibilities of a real president.  He couldn't even play one on television.

Trump thinks of himself as the leader for the average person and people believed him.  Trump has no empathy.  In fact, he is callously cruel. He recently claimed kids have too many dolls so it is no big deal if the new Trump economy may mean they can't buy so many more or they might cost more.  This from the man who has golden toilets.

So he can't be blamed for not performing as a president because he really doesn't understand what a president is supposed to do.

We can blame the MAGAs who should have been smarter than Trump and knew that they shouldn't have voted for him.  He constantly made it clear that he had no presidential abilities. What we need now is for those people to realize how incompetent he is and do what Trump often says,  help us "get him the hell out of here!"
