US Politics

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.

Where did the Trump campaign’s $1 billion go?

Mike Murphy, a veteran Republican consultant and Trump critic, told the AP, in reference to the president's operation, "They spent their money on unnecessary overhead, lifestyles-of-the-rich-and-famous activity by the campaign staff and vanity ads way too early. You could literally have 10 monkeys with flamethrowers go after the money, and they wouldn't have burned through it as stupidly."

“Trump bought a $10 million Super Bowl ad when he didn't yet have a challenger. He tapped his political organization to cover exorbitant legal fees related to his impeachment. Aides made flashy displays of their newfound wealth -- including a fleet of luxury vehicles purchased by Brad Parscale, his former campaign manager.”

I find solace in the fact that the grifter in chief got grifted. It warms my Heart.

Also, you surround yourself with these grifters... you don't think they are going to grift you just because you brought them to the dance? Pfft- looks good on them all.

Sort of like those billions spent on the Wall.  All 6 new miles of it....

Some of the lyrics were really forced, but it was still fun. I forgot like 33% of the people and stuff that happened in that video- goes to show that Bannon's "information blitzkrieg" tactic is working...

 

 

Poor Trump and his pouty face, "why doesn't anybody like me", maybe it's because you are the worst this world has to offer

Guy actually has bizarre facial expressions. Often circus clownish, his attempts to smile are grimaces.

Speaking of clownish... add in immature unprofessional and just lame AF:

Sample question:

1. Who would you rather see fix our Nation’s shattered immigration policies?

  •   President Trump
  •   A MS-13 Loving Democrat

 

They will 100% present the "poll" results to the orange god-emperor to appease his ire.

Edited by wanna-b-fanboy

Deep down Trump knows he is a failed business man and after the election a failed president that no one with any empathy or morals will associate with ever again

These are his only moves. He’s literally got nothing else.

 

 

Trump is a failure. In fact, from now on, all complete failures will be known as trumps.

 

"Ugh, the Riders are complete trumps this year, like every other year."

 

"You really trumped that up bad."

Wouldn't trumpet that, if I was you....

👁‍🗨 As if we couldn’t have guessed this...

According to CBS News White House Correspondent Mark Knoller, Trump has given 10 times as many interviews to Fox as he has to any outlet since he became president. Here's Knoller's count: 
Fox News (all platforms) - 115
Wall Street Journal - 10
NBC/CNBC - 9
Washington Post - 8
Reuters - 8
New York Times - 8
ABC - 7
CBS - 7
Associated Press - 2
CNN - 0

More likely he is taking a lot of the blame for the failings and he is in the dog house.

And he fully deserves it after he signs all important government materials with just his initials...

He is going to burn the place to the ground during the lame duck period isn't he? That is the dumbest thing American politics has.

I fully expect there to be quite the tumultuous times coming up for anybody remotely connected to Made-Great-Again-America.

I read an article that basically equated trump and the States relationship as a abusive relationship with a Malignant Narcissist. The break up is going to be a violent one where the MN lashes out and does eveything in it's power to hurt and humiliate the other.

It's going to be a dark period in USA history.
