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:

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.

Why does he assume its a non citizen living in the US who made that? Or is Trump so far gone he thinks he can deport citizens?

wow.

This admin always seem to say the quiet part really loud. 

It's equally refreshing and terrifying at the same time.

It's quite telling when a post like this "from the POtuS" is believable...

President Donald Trump is “playing politics” with lives with his manipulation of Colorado’s ventilator request to help embattled GOP Sen. Cory Gardner’s reelection, a Democratic lawmaker charges.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency hijacked 500 ventilators ordered by the state for COVID-19 patients, but Trump restored 100 as a special favor to Gardner in a move that will help the vulnerable lawmaker’s reelection, complained Rep. Diana DeGette (D-Colo.).

👁‍🗨 That guy is just annoying. 

 Government has announced, this morning that  "Every one who wants a test, can get a test."  They now have enough tests, so that all citizens can simply order and receive one, upon request.

Congratulations, Denmark.

Economy has no chance to fully recover before the election, Trump has only one bullet left and that's a vaccine by September so that he can yell and rant everyday that he saved all Americans and the Universe from Covid 19 of which he called a hoax...........maybe leave out the last part

 

 

 

President Donald Trump has repeatedly blamed former President Barack Obama for his own administration’s mishandling of the coronavirus pandemic.
“The last administration left us nothing,” Trump said last month.

But the St. Louis Post-Dispatch found that Trump’s own budget documents show the opposite ― exposing what it called “a lie of colossal Trumpian proportions.”
The newspaper’s editorial board said the Trump administration told Congress that the Obama administration left it with everything needed for a pandemic ― and sought big budget cuts from the programs as a result.

 John Ratcliffe confirmed as Trump’s new intel chief despite being ‘manifestly unqualified’ and having no real intel expertise

Written by Alex Henderson May 26, 2020

The GOP-controlled U.S. Senate, on May 21, confirmed former Texas Rep. John Ratcliffe as the United States’ new director of national intelligence — and journalist Garrett M. Graff, known for his extensive reporting on intel and security matters, slams Ratcliffe as a “Trump loyalist” who is “manifestly unqualified” for the position.

Graff, author of the 2001 book “The Only Plane in the Sky: An Oral History of 9/11,” explains why he finds Ratcliffe’s confirmation so troubling in an article published by Wired on May 26. According to Graff, the 54-year-old Ratcliffe was nominated by President Donald Trump and confirmed by the U.S. Senate not because of his intel expertise, but because he is a strident partisan.

“Perhaps the clearest sign that three-term Texas Congressman Ratcliffe is manifestly unqualified to serve as the nation’s director of national intelligence isn’t the fact that he embellished his resumé, nor that only a minority of the U.S. Senate would vote to confirm him — nor that the first time he was floated for the post last summer, he was so soundly rejected that he withdrew almost immediately,” Graff warns. “Instead, it’s that years before…. the 108th Congress tried to stop a man like Ratcliffe from assuming that very role in the first place.”

I think he’s saying vaccine by end of the year because he knows the Dems will be truthful and say that’s highly unlikely.  Trump can say vote for me is a vote for a vaccine.

I would think that between Trump's abrasive personality, his blatant corruption and, most importantly, his plummeting poll numbers, there must be a growing discontent with him. If he does not get his way, it might be a signal that they have finally had enough and are beginning to defy him.

Look this is just a discussion board and no need to share my personal opinion as lot of us just want fair and balanced reporting when it comes to this current president. Yes what he is doing here and a lot of other things are bad but attached are 397 valid and legitimate links detailing things that are never reported about Trumps adversaries that you may or may not believe that’s up to you. Trump sure is living rent free in a lot people’s heads. Just another bad president that’s all. Sheesh.

A lot

👁‍🗨 Reasonable question 

.@jeffmason1: POTUS retweeted a criticism of Joe Biden wearing a mask. Why would he do that?

McENANY: It's a bit peculiar that he doesn't wear a mask in his basement, but he wears one outdoors
 

👁‍🗨 HUH?

Richard Grenell has declassified a new batch of Russia probe documents on his way out as acting director of national intelligence, leaving the decision on whether to make those files public up to newly sworn-in Director John Ratcliffe.

The documents include transcripts of phone calls that then-incoming National Security Adviser Michael Flynn and then-Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak had in December 2016, during the presidential transition period. Grenell said publicly last week that he was in the process of declassifying those files, after House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., asked that he do so.

Fox News has learned that the declassification review of those transcripts is now complete, and it will be left up to Ratcliffe on whether to release them publicly.

Fox News has learned that Grenell also completed the declassification review of other documents related to the origins of the Russia probe — including one that a senior intelligence official told Fox News was “very significant in understanding how intelligence was manipulated to support launching the Russia investigation.”

 

This is going to be good.
