Wall St Journal compares Trump to 'Drunk with an Empty Gin Bottle'

Original post made by Cocktail Hour with Murdoch & his WSJ, Woodside: Family Farm/Hidden Valley, on Mar 22, 2017

How does the 13% of Menlo that voted for Trump feel theses days? Abandoned? Dejected? Driven to Gin?

If the Murdoch owned conservative Wall Street Journal is saying this, what are our locals thinking?

Worse: what do local Gin Drinkers feel when they are attached to this image?!?

"Yet the President clings to his assertion like a drunk to an empty gin bottle, rolling out his press spokesman to make more dubious claims."

- more -

"If President Trump announces that North Korea launched a missile that landed within 100 miles of Hawaii, would most Americans believe him? Would the rest of the world? We’re not sure, which speaks to the damage that Mr. Trump is doing to his Presidency with his seemingly endless stream of exaggerations, evidence-free accusations, implausible denials and other falsehoods."

Would you believe him?

Not a very flattering comparison...

For empty gin bottles.

Murdoch also owns FOX NEWS, which gives Trump his morning intelligence briefings. You've got to wonder what kind of information Murdoch is slipping to Trump during these briefings. If Murdoch is making Trump crazy, then calling him crazy, what is the end game?

Been a bad week. Month. Year, for the Donald. The truck driver memes are brutal.

Local Gin drinkers can relax - Trump is bringing in his daughter to sooth his demons. Ivana cannot by law be in the cabinet, so she will be a "special" adviser.

Maybe less oh-dark-thirty tweeting?

My consumption of gin has risen in the last couple months. Causation or correlation?

What gin goes well with a cabinet member turning states evidence?

A traditional London Dry, or one of the newer floral gins?

I'm thinking Flynn's turn is a dry gimlet sort of event. You?

Bathtub gin.... nice!

Trump needs another tweetstorm for a higher level of distraction.

Trump is golfing again today. 14th time in ten weeks.

Anyone recall his lies about Obama golfing?

And just when you thought the Trump-Russia connection couldn't get more convoluted, you get this:

Bannon booted off NSC. Good news.

Don't want him in the room when the discussion turns to #2 Putin Puppet Assad gassing his own people, and #1 Putin Puppet Trump decides that it is somehow the fault of the previous president.

Donald: maybe you shouldn't be tweeting out that you don't care about Syria.

Great move, Mr. President. Way to tweet. Toss Bannon and put some adults in charge.

Trump says today - maybe Syria IS important after all.

In older news, Trump asked - who knew healthcare was complicated?

Bad week for Trump.

Where are the few Trump loons to defend him?

Light off a couple dozen missiles... a sure sign of someone with no plan. The 9th chemical attack in Syria this year and he finally noticed.

Wag team dog.

The difference between scripted Trump, and off script Trump is intolerable.
