President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

I don't care about a secondary or even primary breach in protocol in the Pharmalogical Guide by a local pharmacist in DC. In fact, the instrument has yet to be invented that can measure my don't-give-a-shittedness. From what I read here, he didn't even name names! I do care about the people on drugs running this country. Call me crazy.

 

It's possible, I guess, that he might have been talking about a past member of Congress. Maybe.

 

Can we all agree that the racist Republicans' leader's non-stop threats to use the Federal government to attack what he sees as his personal enemies is the exact same thing they falsely accused President Obama of doing for 8 years?

“I Hate Everyone”: Trump Seethes as Advisers Fear He Is “Unraveling”

The thought of Mattis or Kelly tackling him ... lol

One former official even speculated that Kelly and Secretary of Defense James Mattis have discussed what they would do in the event Trump ordered a nuclear first strike. “Would they tackle him?” the person said. Even Trump’s most loyal backers are sowing public doubts. This morning, The Washington Post quoted longtime Trump friend Tom Barrack saying he has been “shocked” and “stunned” by Trump’s behavior.

 

I'll miss you 2018 World Cup soccer thread.

 

Is it journalistic malpractice to write that "Trump doesn't know HE is the president of the U.S. Virgin Islands"?

 

Not if you can do it while folding laundry and jamming to Petty.

That the White House Chief of Staff and the Director of the NSA and Sec of Defense are contemplating (or even joking) tackling the POTUS if he were to go for the nuclear football to launch a first strike seems like it ought to be a harrowing, three-alarm anecdote about his state of mind, but sadly Trump has so corroded our norms that our reaction is basically: "Well that does seem bad. Wonder what he'll tweet next."

The Pod Save America guys made a good point in a recent episode, though. Democrats/liberals need to drop this fantasy that Mueller or the cabinet is going to save us all. Any scenario that requires Paul Ryan or Mitch McConnell to have an ounce of courage is complete nonsense. Even if Kelly and McMaster and Mattis somehow convinced Mnuchin and DeVos and Ben Carson and Rick Perry (LOLOLOLOL at the idea of any single one of them going along with any of it) that Trump was legit crazy, there is absolutely no chance Trump is going to be removed via the 25th Amendment. Bannon knows this, and so in floating that scenario to Trump, he's only trying to stir more chaos and distrust. Bannon is The Joker, basically.

I really believe the truest thing Trump has ever said is that he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and his base would not abandon him. He could shoot Steve Mnuchin or Gary Cohen and there would be an entire hour on Hannity where he said "Why was it OK for Hamilton and Burr to duel and not Trump? Our country was founded on duels."

 

He does seem to have some influence doesn't he.

And, this is among Trump voters, not self defined loyalists:
