How Not to Be President

Guest Post by Ann Coulter

Now that we know Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is running for president (along with several others whose names I can’t remember), I have a helpful primer on what NOT to do as president.

I base this advice on the conduct of the most inconsequential president in U.S. history, Donald Trump. With the exception of the judiciary — something neither he nor Jared saw a way of monetizing, thank God — Trump’s entire presidency can be summarized as: obnoxious tweets, followed by immediate and complete capitulation.

The problem with the Trump diehards is that they’d read the bad-ass tweets, pump their fists, but then wander off, never bothering to find out what happened next. Here’s what happened: Trump surrendered. Over and over and over again.

There were so many surrenders that The New York Times had to keep coming up with new synonyms for “loser”: “Trump Gives Ground,” “Trump Backs Off,” “Trump Drops,” “Trump Accommodates Democrats,” “Trump Seethes,” “Trump Signals Defeat,” “Trump’s Surprise Retreat,” “Trump Confronted by a Loss,” “The Biggest Surrender of His Presidency,” and so on.

In his first two years in office, Trump had a Republican House and a Republican Senate — he could have done anything! Let’s see how he fulfilled his signature promise to build a wall, as told in tweets and headlines.

FIRST SPENDING FIGHT:

“… (if) the wall is not built, which it will be, the drug situation will NEVER be fixed the way it should be! #BuildTheWall” — Trump tweet, April 24, 2017

“Don’t let the fake media tell you that I have changed my position on the WALL. It will get built and help stop drugs, human trafficking etc.” — Trump tweet, April 25, 2017

New York Times Headline, April 26, 2017: “Wall ‘Will Get Built,’ Trump Insists, as He Drops Funding Demand”

SECOND SPENDING FIGHT:

“If we have to close down our government, we’re building that wall … One way or the other, we’re going to get that wall.” — Trump at Phoenix rally, Aug. 22, 2017

“I think everybody knows this president isn’t somebody who backs down.” — White House press secretary Sarah Sanders, Aug. 23, 2017

Months of negotiations and studly tweets (Jan. 4, 2018: “We must BUILD THE WALL, stop illegal immigration,” etc. etc.) led to this:

New York Times headline, March 22, 2018: “Spending Plan Passed by Congress Is a Rebuke to Trump.”

“Rebuke” is putting it mildly: The bill expressly prohibited Trump from building a wall and, for good measure, also blocked the hiring of thousands of new Border Patrol agents.

But Trump bounced back with more masterful tweeting!

“I am considering a VETO of the Omnibus Spending Bill (because) … the BORDER WALL, which is desperately needed for our National Defense, is not fully funded.” — Trump tweet, March 23, 2018

Then, the very next day …

New York Times headline, March 24, 2018: “Trump Seethes, but Signs Bipartisan Spending Plan”

True, Trump had given away the store, but look at what he said while signing the Don’t Even Think About Building a Wall bill:

“I looked very seriously at the veto. I was thinking about doing the veto.”

Not only that, but he vowed, “I will never sign another bill like this again — I’m not going to do it again.”

You’ll never guess what he did again.

THIRD SPENDING FIGHT:

“I want to know, where is the money for Border Security and the WALL in this ridiculous Spending Bill, and where will it come from after the Midterms? Dems are obstructing Law Enforcement and Border Security. REPUBLICANS MUST FINALLY GET TOUGH!” — Trump tweet, Sept. 20, 2018

Months of negotiations finally ended with …

“Trump Signs Bill Reopening Government for 3 Weeks in Surprise Retreat From Wall” — The New York Times, Jan. 25, 2019

Surprise! By then, 41 newly elected House Democrats had been sworn in, and there was no hope of getting a wall or anything else through Congress.

How does a Republican president get buffaloed like this by a Republican Congress? Reagan enacted his entire radical agenda (and won the Cold War) without ever, not once, having a Republican House and Senate.

It wasn’t only Trump’s wall that followed the obnoxious tweet/face plant trajectory. It was everything. Tweeting “LAW & ORDER!” as the country went up in flames; retweeting #FireFauci while never daring to remove King Anthony from his throne; spending months tweeting about “Rocket Man,” then staging a theatrical meeting with North Korea’s Kim Jong Un — to accomplish what exactly?

I’ll need another column to even begin to capture the horror of this wasted presidency.

Gov. DeSantis, I’m pretty sure I don’t need to tell you this, but please don’t do any of that.

Ann, in contemplation: I haven’t been invited to a party in weeks. Are they ignoring me? I have to find a way out of this party slump.

Ann: Wait! I’ve got it. I’ll write an anti-Trump story!

The next day…

Ann: Hello

Carl Rove: Hi Ann this is Carl. Jonah Goldberg and I are having a cook-out and we are wondering if you’d like to join us. It’ll be loads of fun

Ann: I’d love to join you. See you then

Also Ann: Slump over!!

Grab her pussy? That thing is as dry as an Arab dessert! If someone thoughtlessly grabbed it, a puff of dust would come out of it. What is it that Don Le Mon said again? Oh yeah, she’s way past her prime.

I am so glad to finally see that one person actually thinks that the status quo is better than during Trumps tenure. If you think 3.50 gas, 5%+inflation is ok, children being mutilated for sexual misunderstanding before they know what sex is. You may well be the anti christ.

Coulter, alter ego, Alice Cooper is a hideous concentration camp looking imbecile. I had to tone it down a notch. Dylan Mulvaney is more attractive as a female, although the toilet water being the product it endorses, I wouldn’t put in my dogs water bowl. Well I just have to stop. She doesn’t need to because she makes me feel like a genius every time she defecates words.

OK Trump is a bombastic blow hard that possibly actually thought he could play the ART OF THE DEAL while drowning in a swamp full of unscrupulous political assholes that have mastered the art of the lie as they become extremely wealthy selling out the country and average Americans
We are circling the drain and certainly Trump is not the greatest BUT compared to what or who !
Any truly patriotic individuals with honor and integrity would never set foot in side Washington DC now known as the Asshole Of American Values where honor and integrity go to die !

The biggest scandal about to be disclosed is Kushner and his father in law’s monitization of the killer ventillators in 2020. We already know that Trump sold the infamous HHS position to PHARMA insider Alex Azar for campaign money.

Give it up you fucking cunt. In the first 2 years of his presidency he DIDN’T have a House & Senate behind him. He had Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell slow walking almost every mother fucking thing he tried to do. I quit your bullshit after that, cunt.

So fuck off and die.
