President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Free speech for me not thee

 

China imports from US plunge in June amid tariff war

Trade wars are easy to win

 

It is precisely what he thinks that free speech is. You can’t say bad stuff about me.

We’ve really fallen into this hole where there are no adults left.

 

See, this is the sort of shit that Dems should be destroying him on. Each candidate for president should retweet with a “I agree, Mr. President, and when I defeat you in the 2020 election, I will be looking for ways to bring back the Fairness Doctrine, especially for Fox News and talk radio.”

Entire dumb talking point goes poof.

 

I read it circa 1992...lost its punch a little

 

A theory on trump’s insanity: one of the things i noticed is that the far right latches onto a few gaffes/distortions and turns them into mantras. Think Pocahontas for Warren, Benghazi!, Obama’s 57 states. I think trump just says so much crazy shit that the left can’t keep up and form its own mantra to drive home the point that he is horrible. Every day there is a new thing. So many, that you forget the earlier shit he says. That makes it easy for people to just say “economy is good” and not think about the evil. I don’t think it is intentional on his part, but maybe it is? This has been his schikt for decades. I remember as a kid in the 1980s thinking he was so cool because he talked big and was on tv all the time. By the early 1990s, I realized it was a hoax. However, the majority of people didn’t. Then they bought into the premise of the Apprentice...and here we are.

 

Yeah, the department’s leadership had no idea the FB group existed!

Border Patrol Chief Carla Provost Was a Member of Secret Facebook Group

 

it's his decision

 

Sure. Another lie.

 

That is what, the ninth cabinet-level department to have the secretary depart Trump's administration? And there is still 18 months to go before the term ends. Unbelievable.

For comparison's sake, in the Obama cabinet, the only department to see a secretary depart in the first term (aside from Bush holdover Gates at Defense) was Commerce.
