President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Trump pretty much has to force him to Kneel Before Don to even offer him the job.

Like Christie, Trump would demand Romney become a bending and stooping factotum. He would make sure to force him into subservient and humiliating situations to reassert his dominance.

Christie could take it for a while. Could Romney?

 

You mean the black dude way in the back? The one they added a red & white outfit to?

 

Christie took it the whole way until he was shitcanned, reportedly bc he had helped prosecute Jared Kushner's dad. Not sure why that suddenly became a sticking point only last week.

 

Or Trump is scared shitless now that he realizes what the job entails and this transaction is the other way around.

 

Obama made school more affordable for me. I am very unlikely to ever pay back the full extent of my loans. Hell, I think I'm $20K over what I took out at this point.

 

Trumps not self ware or introspective enough. A problem, among many, is that his business experience has been a small closely held series of businesses. Until he failed at casinos he was never a public company. He never had to answer to a Board of Diretors or Stockholders until the casinos went bankrupt. So he's always been the last word and never had to answer to anyone. He wont be scared because he thinks he can make a few disc ions and that would be it. He's essentially GW Bush, the great decider. But Bush delegated. Trump didn't have much to delegate. A small, clsodely held company or LLC, LLP or old Sub S Corp could develop a single property with a very small team of management people. Trump never developed large tracts.

He's out of his business depth. He just doesnt know it and he doesnt care to know it. He's the oldest person ever elected to a 1st term. He's president, but Pense and Bannon are alternately Prime Minister

 

If I'm Romney I tell Trump: "You tell Pence to go run in traffic and resign as VP, appoint me to the office with the administration title "Vice President and Chief Executive Officer," and I'll do it. Otherwise go suck rocks. Don't call me, I'll be in the Bahamas the next four years."

 

I see Romney as more proof Trump is open to any idea that pops into his head or is put before him. That's somewhat reassuring and somewhat more scary as hell.

 

Trump brings a certain kind of casualness to the foreign policy?

Donald Trump has reportedly left civil servants amused and befuddled by extending an unusual and unpresidential invitation to Theresa May.

Downing Street refused to deny a leaked transcript in which the president-elect told the British prime minister: “If you travel to the US you should let me know.”

Given that this was the first conversation since the billionaire’s unexpected victory, and was meant to formally reassure both parties over the “special relationship” between the US and the UK, it has been compared by Twitter users to a casual invite to a friend, not a state visit.

Asked about the reported conversation, the prime minister’s spokesman said: “The invitation from the president-elect was a very warm invitation to come as soon as possible.”

According to the Times, Trump’s remarks were disclosed in an official transcript of the 10-minute conversation held last Thursday.

Trump also disclosed that he was a big fan of the Queen and asked for his regards to be passed on to Britain’s longest reigning monarch, the report claimed.

Overseas visits by the prime minister to the US cost hundreds of thousands of pounds and can take months to arrange.

Bernie got almost 6% of the general election vote in Vermont.

Got to love the dead enders.

 

The ship is more than two months before even leaving port. Maybe with more "fortifications" like Romney it won't sink?

As a Dave Ramsey disciple, this just fucking horrifies me.

 

You say that like I'm the only one laughing at a fart joke.

Meh. I still got a kick out of someone adding a Waldo outfit to the guy in the back.
