You guys are being a little hard on Trump. Have you already forgotten how Trump heroically responded to the people of Puerto Rico in their time of need.

A “long rant full of lies.” You are the definition of a troll. Certainly, you gleefully post numerous lies, but this time, you went so far as to exclaim to @dachuda86 something to the effect that you were surprised that he was still reading @NewRoxFan’s posts. You’re going to some trouble pumping out lies and then going from “being serious,” to pretending that it was all a “joke.” Very similar to your hero, trump, except that trump isn’t laughing. You are a clown, but you aren’t the least bit amusing. You’re more like a high school teenager relishing pulling pranks on the grownups. What a waste of time.

Pentagon puts $10B contract on hold after Trump swipe at Amazon

The Pentagon is slamming the brakes on its mega-competition to award a $10 billion cloud computing contract after President Donald Trump suggested the Defense Department might have rigged the contest in favor of Amazon, a frequent target of his criticism. Defense Secretary Mark Esper, who assumed his post July 23, is now reviewing accusations of unfairness in the fiercely fought competition, the Pentagon announced Thursday, marking the president's latest incursion into the arcane world of Defense Department contracting. Oracle has reportedly waged an aggressive lobbying campaign to push back on the competition, including talking with members of Congress and preparing a graphic that made its way to the president's desk.

Despite the court ruling that the competition is fair, Trump recently asked officials to review the contracting process after companies competing against Amazon lodged “tremendous complaints.” "They are saying it wasn't competitively bid," Trump said at the White House on July 18. "Some of the greatest companies in the world are complaining about it ... I will be asking them to look at it very closely to see what's going on because I have had very few things where there has been such complaining." White House aides have shown Trump a briefing slide created by Oracle’s top lobbyist that attempts to illustrate how the Pentagon unfairly favored Amazon in the competition, CNN reported.

The chart, which includes photos of current and past defense officials linked by hearts and dollar signs, is likely an attempt to appeal to the president’s animosity toward Amazon owner Bezos. Trump regularly blasts both Bezos and Amazon on Twitter and also routinely criticizes the Post for its coverage of his administration.

While it’s highly unusual for a president to get involved in the details of specific Pentagon acquisition projects, it’s becoming standard practice for Trump.

Is it he simply doesn't know, or is it he intentionally lies about it to get people to support him? btw, the new Gulden's hair coloring is, um, well, wonder if I can get relish and onions with it.

Yep, about a month ago. Trump’s son mocked him for it.

Similar.

2020 Democratic presidential hopeful Joe Biden said Tuesday that his administration would focus on curing cancer should he win office next year. “I’ve worked so hard in my career that I promise you, if I’m elected president, you’re going to see the single most important thing that changes America: We’re going to cure cancer," Biden said to applause Tuesday at a campaign event in Ottumwa, Iowa.

Though hard to compare Biden and trump:

Curing the disease has become a primary focus for Biden since his son, Beau Biden, died in 2015 of an aggressive form of brain cancer. He oversaw the “Cancer Moonshot” during his time as vice president in the Obama administration. The initiative’s stated goal was “To make a decade’s worth of advances in cancer prevention, diagnosis, and treatment, in five years.” After leaving office, Biden oversaw the Biden Cancer Initiative to “develop and drive implementation of solutions to accelerate progress in cancer prevention, detection, diagnosis, research, and care, and to reduce disparities in cancer outcomes.” He stepped down from the organization shortly after announcing his White House bid.

The lamest of "whataboutism from trump and his strategy advisers at fox and friends. First, Obama has shown incredible restraint about trump criticism. Second, trump warrants criticism for the divisive, racist rhetoric that seems to inspire these hate crimes and mas shootings. Third, trump has done little as president to stop mass shootings (in fact, reversed an Obama admin regulation on mentally ill people acquiring guns).
