Donald Trump is not known for having a well developed capacity for rational expression or comprehension. After all, he is the self-proclaimed “stable genius”<\/em> who delivers deranged sermons on cancer-causing windmills, nuking hurricanes, and Hannibal Lecter. He believes that injecting bleach will cure COVID, and that tariffs are paid by foreign governments rather than domestic importers and, eventually, consumers.<\/p>\n

Consequently, it will surprise no one that Trump and his MAGA flunkies can now be recognized for their use of what we at News Corpse are calling “Flawgic”<\/em> – a portmanteau of “flawed”<\/em> + “logic.”<\/em> [Note to Trumpists: a portmanteau is a new word formed by combining two existing words]<\/em> Flawgic has become a regular component of the discourse in Trumpian circles, along with his grossly distorted perceptions of political reality.<\/p>\n

This weekend a couple of confirmed Trump-fluffers were kind enough to offer examples of flawgic that perfectly illustrate their meaning. Let’s begin with one by New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu, who had the following exchange with CNN’s Dana Bash about the obvious potential for conflicts of interest that Elon Musk presents as Trump’s government efficiency czar…<\/p>\n

Bash:<\/strong> One of the criticisms and concerns is that [Elon Musk] has billions tied up in government contracts. You don’t see a conflict of interest here?
\nSununu:<\/strong> Everyone has a conflict of interest.
\nBash:<\/strong> But that’s a pretty big one
\nSununu:<\/strong> The guy’s worth $450 billion today. I don’t think he’s doing it for the money. He’s doing it for the bigger project and the bigger vision for America. He doesn’t need the dollars…He’s so rich, he’s removed from the potential financial influence of this.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

Chris Sununu is excusing people from conflict of interest laws if they are really rich. By extension, he's saying that wealthy people can break all the laws they want because of their wealth.<\/p>\n

Which describes pretty much everything about Donald Trump & his resume of criminality. https:\/\/t.co\/mDYxa2kME5<\/a><\/p>\n
