When Conway’s critics pile on, she just keeps spinning. “She can stand in the breach and take incoming all day long,” Steve Bannon, Trump’s chief strategist, told me. “That’s something you can’t coach.” She’s figured out that she doesn’t need to win the argument. All she has to do is craft a semi-plausible (if not entirely coherent) counternarrative, so that those who don’t want to look past the facade of Trump’s Potemkin village don’t have to.
The photo from the meeting, published by the French news agency Agence France-Presse went viral on Twitter Monday night. Why? Well, it showed Conway checking her phone, sitting casually on a sofa with her legs tucked under her. And she apparently was still wearing her shoes.
People were led to believe that Trump wrote his eerily nationalistic Inaugural speech after posting this photo on Twitter a few days before the Inauguration:
Butaccording to The Wall Street Journal, Trump’s speech was written by his two aids: Steve Bannon (executive chairman of the extremely right-wing “news” page Breitbart) and Stephen Miller (infamously worked for racist Jeff Sessions who may be appointed for Attorney General).
We can’t trust a word Trump (or his wife) says to the public.
I don’t trust Bernie Sanders(which is your icon) more than Donald Trump.
@secondlake: Well it’s sad that you believe in a man who lies more than half of the time
And when he is saying the “truth,” this is what he says:
Source: PolitiFact
This is saddest post I have ever seen because you think PolitiFact’s judges of “Truth or False” are all right. Although I checked Trump’s False page which PolitiFact tells us, I thought a lot of those false judges are just their judges about Donald Trump. As a source and the media, PolitiFact has no value. As an addition post, “Truth or False” pages which PolitiFact used from Trump’s twitter posts are just their choices. This is not fair.
@secondlake: I guess you are just another believer of Kellyanne Conway’s use of the term “alternative facts” as justification for all the false statements Trump spews out on a day to day basis.
Even a Pulitzer Prize winning website that uses credible and various sources to prove their “judgments” have no standing with Trumpians. But the judgments of a reality TV star (that has declared bankruptcy 6 times) who has made a following based off his constant demeaning of others who don’t look or agree with him is more knowledgeable than any expert who confronts him on his divisive and demagogic tactics.
Kellyanne Conway tweets popular pro-life meme identifying the unstated implications of the movie
<p>(TNFN - Hollywood, CA) Kellyanne Conway tweeted her support of a complete abortion ban referencing the 2008 box office smash The Curious Case of Benjamin Button wherein a man is born old and gets younger and younger as time progresses.
“We never know what life will manifest as,” she said, when asked to expand on what she meant, “The Lord works in mysterious ways and I don’t limit His miracles to what we know as scientifically possible. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be miracles, now, would they?”
Aside from the entirely impossible case of having someone going through this kind of biological development, Kellyanne Conway also hadn’t seen the movie, or she would have known that Benjamin Button wasn’t born with an adult mind.
“That’s because the movie was a work of fiction,” she explained, “God can do anything He wants.” Her answer was met with silence, prompting her to add, “I’m glad you are finally being awed by the truly infinite nature of Jesus’ power. That’s why we call Him God.”
Asked whether he held the same views, President Trump said, “We have freedom of religion in this country - or, at least, we HAD freedom of religion. I’m going to change that and it’s going to be amazing. People will be able to express all kinds of beliefs; beliefs about Jesus - great guy - and beliefs about the Lord Our God, the God of Abraham, and even the God of the Old Testament. America will be once again a light in the darkness of false religion.”
The President went on to announce an expansion of the Muslim ban to include naturalized american citizens. (”We want to make sure they were properly vetted and, in some cases, rescind naturalization.”)
When TNFN contacted Bill Nye and Neil deGrasse Tyson for their scientific perspectives, Tyson responded, “What the fuck?” while Nye simply threw sheafs of paper in the air out of frustration.
Correction: An earlier version of this report quoted Conway as having said, “We don’t want intelligence interfering with politics.” She did, in fact, say that, but in reference to the FBI investigating Russian hacking of Hillary Clinton’s email server.
