President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Calling my shot:

Within 48 hours, we'll find out that Papadopoulos was once Facebook friends with somebody who donated money to the Clinton Foundation, and this will be when the RWSM decides to pick up the story

 

He's a guy, who apparently came over from the Carson campaign. He suggested some sort of meting with Russians, which was shot down.

He lied about that to the FBI, which is his crime.

Let's not pretend he was some big shot. Trump was Trump's foreign policy advisor.

People laughed when Trump couldn't even name a single foreign policy advisor on his team -- because he didn't have any of any importance. I'm not sure this guy was even ever in a meeting with Trump.

 

OMG.

I'm going to stop engaging you on this. There's no point.

 

Not bad for a first draft of the talking points, but it doesn't fit the facts:



"Approved from our side."

 

Trying to get everything in order for our trip to Paris actually. Leave tomorrow for 9 days. So, if I'm not as active, it's not solely because i'm lacking vigor.

 

Oh, I am. Trump tweeted out a pic of them in a meeting, in fact. Got any other things you'd like to get dunked on?

 

RYAN: Thank you… We’ve heard you’re going to be announcing your foreign policy team shortly… Any you can share with us?

TRUMP: Well, I hadn’t thought of doing it, but if you want I can give you some of the names… Walid Phares, who you probably know, PhD, adviser to the House of Representatives caucus, and counter-terrorism expert; Carter Page, PhD; George Papadopoulos, he’s an energy and oil consultant, excellent guy; the Honorable Joe Schmitz, [former] inspector general at the Department of Defense; [retired] Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg; and I have quite a few more. But that’s a group of some of the people that we are dealing with. We have many other people in different aspects of what we do, but that’s a representative group.

 

Dude ...

 

Fair enough.

 

This is some of your best work here in a long time. Keep up with the lolz.

 

DORAL, Fla. — Donald J. Trump said on Wednesday that he hoped Russian intelligence services had successfully hacked Hillary Clinton’s email, and encouraged them to publish whatever they may have stolen, essentially urging a foreign adversary to conduct cyberespionage against a former secretary of state.

“Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing,” Mr. Trump said during a news conference here in an apparent reference to Mrs. Clinton’s deleted emails. “I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.”
