(Actually Ethanol's days are numbered, as we are rapidly moving toward electric automobiles all around the world.)Tlkd 2 @realDonaldTrump about ethanol +he knows that ethanol is good good good— ChuckGrassley (@ChuckGrassley) August 30, 2017
Courtesy of WaPo:
President Trump called the head of the Senate Judiciary Committee to talk about one of his most important parochial issues — ethanol — shortly before the committee is slated to interview his son in its ongoing Russia probe.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles E. Grassley’s panel will be hosting Trump’s son next month for an interview behind closed doors in its ongoing Russia probe — something the committee has been trying to do since it was revealed that Donald Trump, Jr. accepted a meeting in Trump Tower with a Russian lawyer claiming Kremlin connections during the campaign.
Headlines about that committee meeting, which Grassley (R-Iowa) has been trying to set up for weeks, gripped headlines and cable news chyrons on Tuesday night. On Wednesday morning, Grassley announced via Twitter that the president had called him to discuss not Russia, but ethanol, proudly announcing that “he assured me he’s pro ethanol” and that Grassley was free to tell the people of Iowa “he’s standing by his campaign PROMISE.”
Wait, so just days after it was announced that Eric "The Dumb One" Trump was going to be testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee, which Grassley chairs, Donald Trump suddenly makes these calls in support of Grassley's favorite bio-fuel?
What a coinky dink.
Please, does this orange tinted asshole think we are all as stupid as his supporters?
Obviously that is a rhetorical question.
Methinks we better keep an eye on ole Chuck "I Love Ethanol" Grassley.
Guess we know who's filling Grassley's pockets. GD I am tired of these whores.

Trump doesn't care about what anyone sees or thinks. He has to do what he has to do. He may not have much longer, he will just plunge forward as fast as possible.

DeleteDonald Trump told us that he’d hire the best people. He didn't mention that he’d be unable to fire them.

The president is experiencing a bout of insubordination from his top officials the likes of which we haven't witnessed in the modern era. It's not unusual to have powerful officials at war among themselves, or in the presidential doghouse. It's downright bizarre to have them publicly undercut the president, without fear of consequence.
"The Special Counsel continues to grind methodically through the evidence of connection, collusion, and obstruction in the Russia case that drives the president mad. No tweet will stop Mueller, and nothing good is coming for Trump in the months ahead."

Fuck them!!!!
Standard practice for Trump. All of this bribing, influencing, threatening, etc. is what he's done all his life. His problem is he doesn't understand why, as president, it doesn't work any more.

I suspect something big is going to break and he wanted to quit beforehand. Others agree:

ReplyDeleteI was born and raised in Iowa and lived there until I was 40. Moved away almost exactly 25 years ago. So I was there when Grassley was elected. Those of us who had a brain were soooo embarrassed by him - it was almost as bad as current embarrassment by Trump. I really did not think he'd be in Congress as long as he has been. He has become more politically savvy is not quite the same bumbling idiot he was at first, but that is actually to Iowa's and this country's detriment. He's become more dangerous as he's evolved. I truly don't recognize the state I grew up in now since they elected Joni Ernst and went for Trump last year. It's saddening/maddening. I also lived there at the beginning of ethanol producing and marketing. It really was a godsend to Iowa's economy and no one in Iowa wants to think it's going to go away. Much like coal miners elsewhere can't believe coal is going away. This ploy by Trump surely will be recognized by everyone for what it is? Maybe - but I truly doubt the hardcore ethanol supporters in Iowa see it that way.
