I hate the MSN website that my new computer has stuck me with [View all]

It comes up first when I want to get online and I can't find a way to bring anything else up in place of it. The stories are right-center to farther right, or just fluff.

Today, I'm met with 'why trump is holding back on helping people who can't buy food'. I didn't bother to read it, as it'll just be something trying to find a somewhat understandable reason that won't piss the Toddler-In-Chief off. There is no such reason.

I'm tired of stories trying to make him seem complicated, nuanced or thoughtful. He's none of the above. He's fine with starving people for the same reason he's called 'Two Scoops Donnie'. The same reason he wanted to fire staff who were working when he showed up at one of his places completely unannounced (he was actually not supposed to be in the entire state) and demanded a tomahawk steak. He then noticed that it was the same size or slightly smaller than another one in the room.

He needs desperately to see that he's getting more than anybody else. Everybody else at a state dinner gets one scoop, he gets two. His restaurant staff in every location now keeps a super-sized tomahawk steak in the freezer in case he makes a surprise visit. Quality doesn't matter - it's going to be well-done and drowned in ketchup anyway. But it must be the biggest.

Starving people when he doesn't need to worry about his next meal would be an actual win for him if there were no politics involved. It's no more complicated than that. He's not playing checkers, never mind three-dimensional chess. This gives him a chubbie and that's really all there is to it.
