President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

You prefer Hillary cackling after reading from teleprompter?

Lets not forget Obama green-lighting uranium for Iran.

Iran wants to bring about the return of the mahdi.
End of the World: "Muhammad Mahdi" is Coming

 

These people are assessing his presser the same way they did his debates--they seem to think whoever exudes the most attitude and drops the most "zingers" wins--with actual facts, evidence and truth being all but irrelevant. When Trump asserts blatant lies (for example, today's statement about having the largest electoral margin since Reagan), does that mean anything to them?

Do they realize this guy is now governing us in real life, and not just entertaining us on a reality show?

 

So you're saying that taking pot shots at people and organizations on Twitter isn't an effective strategy?

 

I'm on record saying Trump shouldn't be on Twitter. But the point is that if you're going to take the high road, you can't drop down to that level. Destroys credibility and plays into his hands. Defeats your purpose.

 

Wait wait wait wait, I've always wanted to do this but I'm usually about 20 pages behind on this thread:

Look! Over there! The other guys!

 

Quoting oop. Message board rock bottom.

 

I gotta tell you, everyone who says Trump is going to get so tired of this or so bored or so angry that he quits is WAY off base. He was having fun up there today. I mean, really enjoying himself. There's no way he'll quit this gig on his own.

 

The thing is, some of these comments are coming from intelligent, highly successful people.

One of them is a longtime DOD employee. Another is a gastroenterologist. These aren't stupid people. But how they view the world . . .

 

I'll never understand how people can see the world differently.

 

I get an SJ.com nemesis (Hi @CD Boogie! Miss you pal!) AND I hit "message board rock bottom"? All in one week?

Man, I am killing it lately.
