Déjà vu – Bush/August 2001 – Trump/August 2017 – What are the odds?

[Brochacholomigo]

it has been announced that Trump will be taking a 17 day vacation this month so, that is not a theory, nor is it a conspiracy ..............


you could however offer something (positive) to the thread, offers other than attempts at stirring a pot ............

Correlation is not causation, Smokes. The odds of something awful happening when the President goes on a "working vacation" are every bit as negligible as they are when he's in the White House.

A little over six months after George W. Bush was inaugurated in January, 2001 there was an announcement in early August, 2001 that Bush would travel to Crawford, Texas for a multi week ‘working vacation.’ Shortly afterwards 9/11 became a reality. The rest is history.

A little over six months after Trump was inaugurated in January, 2017 there was an announcement in early August, 2017 that Trump would travel to Bedminster, New Jersey for a multi week ‘working vacation.’

I wonder what awaits Trump & America shortly after Trump’s ‘working vacation?’

What are the odds of something just as big as, or bigger than 9/11; any wagers? Sweet 16?

Did Obama not take an August break when he was elected?

If he did why did you jump over him?

Nothing happened in September of 2009.

Congrats!!! You actually offered a great response ..........

It took three pages until a DP member (yourself) to actually use their own thought process to positively reply to the OP, and without answering my questions with a question(s).

hopefully, others here could learn from you utilizing your own thought process, instead of making assumptions?

Have you ever thought that your phrasing of the OP might be what's causing almost everyone to read ill will into your words?

in the case of W., Bush's August 'working vacation' had already been concluded, and for some time

in all fairness, W. was in Florida on 9/11

your idea was previously discussed within the thread .........


having said that, I would hope that others would do as member calamity did; offer a reply that was from their own thought process ...........

As noted earlier, Reagan and Clinton took August breaks too. Where the hell are all the ground-shaking August events hiding at?

You're not saying there might have been a connection between George Bush being out of D.C. and 9-11, are you?

 

[Brochacholomigo]

your idea was previously discussed within the thread .........

Yes, by almost everyone seeing something you claim isn't there. Why do you think that is?

well, I did not say that, did I? Nope ........

I said that W. was in Florida on 9/11, not on a 'vacation'

feel free draw your own conclusions from that

I think it's a very sick puppy who would bet on something bad happening...especially if it involves thousands of American citizens dying. But hey...people bet on all kinds of crazy stuff, right?

You're clearly implying there's a connection there, and you won't even outright deny it, just respond that you never actually said that directly. Everyone but Calamity can see that. Why back away from your own thread? Just be honest with us.

The one that says your thread is in awful taste, and that you're trying to get people to place bets on whether or not we're going to have another gigantic tragedy (one that conveniently happens to somehow be related to the President going on a working vacation)? What about post #12?

YOUR POST #26 = Correlation is not causation, Smokes. The odds of something awful happening when the President goes on a "working vacation" are every bit as negligible as they are when he's in the White House.


You could have been referring to either Bush, or to Trump in that statement.

I wanted you to recall where Bush was on 9/11; he was not on vacation.

You are free to ponder your own thoughts on that

you would have already realized this, IF you would have been paying attention .........

One thing I'd like to contribute to this topic that is more of my personal general perception: why do people look at POTUS' taking vacation time as a negative? There always seems to be some tone of negativity when people discuss a POTUS taking some off-time.

I can sort of understand pointing out the hypocrisy of cons and Trump himself having criticized the hell out of Obama for taking "too much time off" (when Trump has taken far more weekends off to golf), but I would surely hope the leader of the free world would take some leisure time just to keep their sanity.

From your first post:

A little over six months after George W. Bush was inaugurated in January, 2001 there was an announcement in early August, 2001 that Bush would travel to Crawford, Texas for a multi week ‘working vacation.’ Shortly afterwards 9/11 became a reality. The rest is history.

How is that NOT drawing a connection between 9-11 and George Bush's vacation?

 

[Linc]

What is it you expect anyone to add to this thread?

Let me try. I strongly encourage and recommend President Trump to travel to and through our fabulous National Parks, Nat'l Forests and Nat'l Monuments like Mount Rushmore. No one is ever the same afterwards and will keep going back.

Inspirations abound out here, especially with Teddy Roosevelt, the inspiration behind the building of Mount Rushmore and the man who saved our National System as we know it.

Btw, I love the game of golf, have for 55 years. Trump's son is at just the right age to fall in love with the West .

Where the hell are all the ground-shaking August events hiding at?

I think that's when the bowling green massacres happen. Also when Covfefe was created. And I hear the wall is getting an august 2019 start date /sarcasm.

member calamity post #21 pertains to a resignation; this is the ONLY real reply to the thread so far

Trump resigning would likely involve no casualties, i.e. no injuries, nor deaths

amazing, isn't it?

His idea was that you somehow oopsed your way into writing conspiracy theorist garbage into your OP. I'm convinced you did it on purpose, and that you're dodging your own implied points now that it's clear nobody's on your side in this.

if Trump were taking a vacation from posting on Twitter, that could be construed as being a positive ..........

Then why are you drawing a connection between Trump's August vacation to the ONLY August vacation that has happened to occur in the general time frame of a national disaster, while also citing an article that draws a connection between the two?
