Guess what David Brooks thinks is trump's ruling passion?

[senseandsensibility]

No, this is not a joke. Elite journalist David Brooks (NYT) thinks trump's ruling passion is to "dismantle the elites" who have screwed over the middle class.

AND he demands that Harris show the public what her ruling passion is, because according to this idiot, she has not.

I don't even know what to say.

1. Brooks, scribbler extraordinaire, had too much airport whiskey

Donny’s ruling passions are self aggrandizement and theft. A complete moron could see that. But not Brooks.

[no_hypocrisy]

2. The only grudge that TSF has against "the Elites" is

they blackballed him from joining their country clubs, e.g., The Tuxedo Club, Maidstone in Easthampton, etc.

[Brother Buzz]

15. From the get-go he's been pissed with the 'Manhattan Elites' because they shunned him, but found a work around

He simply crashed events

[Devilsun]

20. Augusta National Golf Club

[Biophilic]

3. Because there is nothing to say to something that stupid.

Years ago I read the time. I hated that asshole then and obviously he hasn’t improved.

[tanyev]

4. Trump's ruling passion is vengeance against anyone that has offended HIM.

[iemanja]

5. Brooks is not a Trump supporter

[senseandsensibility]

7. Okay

Don't remember posting that he was.

[niyad]

21. Perhaps not, but the quoted statement in the OP indicates that he is a fucking

moron when it comes to assessing TRAITOR**.

[Bettie]

6. Wait...isn't Brooks one of

the elites as well?

[Mark.b2]

29. He's the epitome of the elite! nt

[elleng]

8. Ths is SILLY!

[Lonestarblue]

9. Trump's ruling passion is to steal everything he can from taxpayers and supporters.

Brooks has list touch with reality if he thinks Trump cares about the muddle class or indeed anyone but himself.

[senseandsensibility]

11. Bingo

Someone that clueless is not any kind of journalist if you ask me. But to write for the NYT? Do you know how many really gifted journalists would kill for that job?

[Johonny]

10. Brooks job is feeding morons what they want to hear

That he claims to be an expert in morals and ethics is hilarious. He has neither and never will. He makes bucks making sure the elites screw the middle class and the poor. He doesn't give a shit about anyone, just like Trump. That the NYT keeps printing him demonstrates how little they care for their readers intelligence.

12. This is so not respectful of the contexts of tonight's Newshour conversation. nt

[Ocelot II]

13. Put down the bong, David, and back away slowly...

Dude, Trump's ruling passion is Trump.

[PedroXimenez]

14. Brooks was one of the elites that fell for "Hillbilly Elegy"

and he's been framing the dems as the elites and the republicans as populists for decades.

[Alice Kramden]

16. How does this wanker still have a job

Anywhere - let alone the NYT. David Brooks is a self-important idiot

[Retrograde]

24. The same way Ross Douthat does

I don't have any proof, but I suspect it involves pictures or recordings the NYT higher-ups don't want circulated. Certainly can't be their astute observations on contemporary American life.

(I confess I get the NYT columnists mixed up at times, so I just refuse to read any one whose name begins with a B - first or last. If you superimpose the D and R it looks kinda like a B, so DoubtThat or DoucheHat or however he pronounces his name falls into that category)

[Blue Owl]

17. The elites that fix him his imaginary $84 cheeseburger?

Yeah, I don’t think so buddy….

[senseandsensibility]

18. Exactly

with that photo he included in his tweet about it showing that he also had at least a couple of scotches too.

[skypilot]

19. Still a fucking worm...

...after all these years.

[3825-87867]

22. This is what happens to ilk such as Brooks when

they get too close to tramp and inhale too much rump flatulence. Has bad effect on what's left of their brains.

[usonian]

23. I'd say, among others, to make people tell the truth, and to bring about justice.

Her entire career!

[Cha]

26. You Win. Truth and Justice!

[Cha]

25. Fuck Brooks. TSF's "ruling passion".. is his GD self..

[bluesbassman]

27. David, I'm just going to quote the the great STYX tune here in response to you:

Yeah, I'm sittin' on this barstool
Talkin' like a damn fool
Got the twelve o'clock news blues
And I've given up hope
On the afternoon soaps
And a bottle of cold brew
Is it any wonder I'm not crazy
Is it any wonder I'm sane at all

[Initech]

28. Hey MAGA: He is an elite who screwed over the middle class! Y'all have been brainwashed!

[RidinWithHarris]

30. Did he lose a bet, and writing this idiocy under his own name was his punishment?

Git that Brooks is, I still thought he'd at least know better than this.

[AllyCat]

31. Shouldn't he retire now?

I think the job and his little bubble of a world have gotten too small for him.

[RockRaven]

32. David Brooks is one of the dumbest people on Earth if he actually believes that.

The MOST transparent thing about TCF -- aside from a) being a goddamn idiot and b) inveterate liar -- is that he utterly disdains normal/regular/average people except for their usefulness as suckers/dupes/marks.

David Brooks is like Thomas Friedman and scores of other people foisted upon the public by NYT over the years as Very Important Deep Thinkers; these fuckwits mistake their flatus for novel ideas because it originates from within.

[usonian]

33. Congrats on 16,000 posts. (plus one) Nice round number.
