President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

The well timed cough was my favorite part. And how many people did Trump need to babysit him for that interview? Seems they could have been doing more important work, like running the government.

 

I'm sorry. I should have realized you would need this explained to you. My post was jab at what QYFOS was doing. Not only did you fail to see it, but you also doubled down rather than go back and find your mistake. Now THAT is hilarious.

 

For the record, I'm still mulling.

 

For Syria, Words Won’t Be Enough

 

I'll go ahead and get on the record by saying Trump has the capability and potential to kill way more Americans out of incompetence than ISIS could out of hatred.

 

Wolf of War Street

 

Good business for Wolf Blitzer too.

 

I guess this is relevant, with all this war talk. On this day a hundred years ago, the US congress declared war on Germany in a one-paragraph joint resolution:

 

Practically every day on the calendar is the anniversary of our sending military forces somewhere.

 

L.A. Times series, Part V ...

Most people know by now that the new president of the United States trafficks in untruths and half-truths, and that his word cannot be taken at face value.

Even more troubling, though, is that much of his misinformation is of the creepiest kind. Implausible conspiracy theories from fly-by-night websites; unsubstantiated speculations from supermarket tabloids. Bigoted stories he may have simply made up; stuff he heard on TV talk shows.

This is pathetic, but it’s also alarming. If Trump feels free to take to Twitter to make wild, paranoid, unsubstantiated accusations against his predecessor, why should the nation believe what he says about a North Korean missile test, Russian troop movements in Europe or a natural disaster in the United States? ...

Trump seems as willing to mouth off today as he was on the campaign — about wiretaps, inauguration crowds, fraudulent voters, you name it. And the problem with that is that he is no longer a blowhard TV personality or a raunchy guest on Howard Stern or a self-promoting real estate magnate or even a long-shot candidate for the Republican nomination. He’s now the president of the United States, and he is allowing the credibility of his unimaginably powerful office to be exploited and wasted on crackpot ideas that have been rightly discredited by politicians from both parties.

Conspiracy Theorist in Chief

 

Gobs are smacked, again, at how that moron fooled people into thinking he's a genius.
