President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

I'm sure the entire administrations of NOAA and NWS were ordered to issue this statement under threat of firing.

It's all about the grift, all the time.

It’s more likely just dementia, and we won’t be able to determine exactly which kind until the autopsy. I’ve seen just exactly this sort of thing with my mother, and my grandmother before her. The rate of decline is shocking to people who haven’t seen it.

'He's losing his s---': Trump's advisers are increasingly worried about his mental state following days of erratic behavior

 

I don't understand how he hasn't been impeached. Like, if he's not going to be impeached, what's the bar for impeachment? Does it even exist as an option anymore? The president of the United States is clearly a lunatic, and he's going to serve out his term. It's insane.

 

Meanwhile … here’s the definition of an emolument:

So, would this fit?

In early Spring of this year, an Air National Guard crew made a routine trip from the U.S. to Kuwait to deliver supplies.

What wasn’t routine was where the crew stopped along the way: President Donald Trump’s Turnberry resort, about 50 miles outside Glasgow, Scotland.

Since April, the House Oversight Committee has been investigating why the crew on the C-17 military transport plane made the unusual stay — both en route to the Middle East and on the way back — at the luxury waterside resort, according to several people familiar with the incident. But they have yet to receive any answers from the Pentagon.

The inquiry is part of a broader, previously unreported probe into U.S. military expenditures at and around the Trump property in Scotland. According to a letter the panel sent to the Pentagon in June, the military has spent $11 million on fuel at the Prestwick Airport — the closest airport to Trump Turnberry — since October 2017, fuel that would be cheaper if purchased at a U.S. military base. The letter also cites a Guardian report that the airport provided cut-rate rooms and free rounds of golf at Turnberry for U.S. military members.

Taken together, the incidents raise the possibility that the military has helped keep Trump’s Turnberry resort afloat — the property lost $4.5 million in 2017, but revenue went up $3 million in 2018.

“The Defense Department has not produced a single document in this investigation,” said a senior Democratic aide on the oversight panel. “The committee will be forced to consider alternative steps if the Pentagon does not begin complying voluntarily in the coming days.”

The Pentagon, Air Force and White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.​

Air Force crew made an odd stop on a routine trip: Trump’s Scottish resort

 

I think Trump has CTE from hitting his head on pubic bones while giving blow jobs at Studio 54.

 

He would have to commit murder. In public. In front of cameras. And it would have to be a straight, white male with no criminal record.

 

I'm not even sure that would do it. Honestly. Some large percentage of people would say he was somehow justified, the news was faked, or the president can't commit a crime. I would guess if he killed someone, with proof that he did, he'd still have the support of at least 30 percent of Americans. Probably more. Fuck, his popularity might actually go up. We live in The Running Man now.
