Lets see if we can keep this thread a little more civil.

I found this interview very interesting.  A lot of soft balls thrown at Trump, he explained his back pedalling on his more extreme issues as a lot of his claims as opening bids for negotiation purposes.  Which .. whatever .. I still think that those are insincere claims he used to get elected.

He does now come across way more presidential then he did prior to the election.  A lot of his noise, yelling, and rhetoric has been scaled back.

Do respect this one though:

Quote

 

Lesley Stahl: Are you gonna take the salary, the president’s salary?

Donald Trump: Well, I’ve never commented on this, but the answer is no. I think I have to by law take $1, so I’ll take $1 a year. But it’s a -- I don’t even know what it is.

Donald Trump: Do you know what the salary is?

Lesley Stahl: $400,000 you’re giving up.

Donald Trump: No, I’m not gonna take the salary. I’m not taking it.

And the Clintons have never helped each other out right?   Hillary definitely would have risen as far as she did without Bill right? Right?

Or the Kennedy clan....right?    Or the Bush family?  right?

The list goes on and on.

you gotta admit, Trump did this without any of his family members being actually qualified tho.  Bush's kids and family were all senators and such.. ditto the kennedys. 

 

Bill never gave Hillary an esteemed posting either I don't believe, or boosted her company in other countries..

 

 

Feel somewhat sorry for Spicy Spice.   Tough to stand at a podium, every night and have to bellow out alternative and baseless facts to the assembled media.....and having a certain amount of even that ....contradicted by the Don over Twitter, the very same day.  

Thankless job.  

But demonstrating loyalty to Trump, was an exercise in futility, from the get go.     Sessions did everything but suck the blacking from Trump's boots.....and gets humiliated publicity for his pains.   People notice.

Which is why, when this administration implodes.....you probably won't see a Gordon Liddy or Ollie North type, step forward to be the fall guy.

nope.. and I think the rats are already starting to flee the sinking SS Trump..

 

HAHAHAHAHA What a clown show!!

 

The Mooch has been fired after a week!

 

 

This is going to make a great House of Cards style tv show one day 

 

 

Too bad, the Mooch was going to provide endless entertainment and mockery.

Spicer will be back now, I'm sure.

The circus will go on.

Lots of talk about how Kelly is going to bring structure and discipline, to this dysfunctional and chaotic White House.  

Wonder if this also applies to Agent Orange.   If not, then the good general will be simply wasting his time.

Well, Fox is Fox.  The key phrase is..... with oversight from White House

Looks like instead of draining the swamp the Trump White House is filling it up.

The depths of his dishonesty know no bounds. 

And his press secretary twists herself in knots to avoid admitting he's a liar

 

According to the WSJ, the special Counsel has empaneled a Grand Jury in DC looking into Trump/Russia

and suppoenas have been issues relating to Trump Jr and his meeting with the Russians. 

This comes after rumours abound that Trump wants to fire Mueller but his new CoS has warned him it would be very bad  

Its heating up.

Yes, he can. That's literally what he does. Or files for bankruptcy.

well it worked for him in the business world, no doubt.. but now hes president and the rules are different.. you'd think he would have at least picked up a "presidency for dummies" book or something.

ya tbh I don't think anyone (beyond trump and the simpsons) saw this coming.

He's mirroring Nixon in many ways. And Nixon was a hell of a lot smarter. 

Trump was so arrogant. Becoming president and the way he did it put the target on his back. 

How many investigations are actually happening?  Supposedly New York has a RICO case about sex trafficking that Trump is involved in. 

There's a reason he said his finances were a "red line" that Mueller better not cross. And it's clear Mueller is doing just that. Trump will end up in jail eventually. 

What could go wrong

There is no chance in hell that Trump ends up in jail.

I would never say never but I would be extremely surprised if Trump does time.

North Korea says it is considering bombing Guam with missiles. The Chinese need to take the nutty little midget dictator with the bad hair out. (The North Korean one, not Trump).
