President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Well, I can agree. Unless maybe it was somebody like Otto von Bismarck or Talleyrand or Pitt the Elder or some similar obscure historical figure. People would figure it was a relative.

 

I had a theory when the West Wing was on TV that American voters would never have re-elected Jed Bartlett because they'd just be too worn out from all the drama. Now we have a motherfucker who won't even let us have Thanksgiving off because of his need for attention. I honestly believe the bottom is close to dropping out for this guy. He just got whacked in a midterm and he can't be any different, except to be worse and more needy in his attention-seeking.

Fox News has been on one of the TVs at the gym the last couple of days. Man, the Trump presidency has really thinned out their hosting roster.

Fox News Issues On-Air Apology to Hillary Clinton After Guest Compares Her to ‘Herpes’

 

The Hague.

Van Buren? Well, if you're in a gang maybe that's the one exception.

 

To be fair to Anna Paulina, herpes is probably something she knows a thing or two about.

 

Fox has made a corporate decision to back off in the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders treatment of this president.
It becomes more evident every day, to me. They didn't even broadcast the last few rallies.
Murdoch knows Trump's a moron, knows when he's holding a losing hand and he didn't get to where he is by playing one.

 

Fox has been using Republican operatives as hosts instead of broadcasters for a while now
