President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

He will be on his sixth comms director, in 13 months.

Obama had five comms directors in eight years.

W had four, in eight years.

Clinton had five in eight years.

Bush Sr. had two in four.

Reagan had seven in eight years.

Trump goes through more comms directors than Steinbrenner did with managers.

 

Not if he did it in retaliation for an investigation involving himself. Could be obstruction of justice.

 

He doesn’t have the balls. And if Sessions is fired, Trumpy would probably send Eric to do the final deed because we know he won’t make that final call himself.

 

Apollo Management has an interesting history, it's founder is the son of the former CEO of United Fruit who lept from the PanAm building when he was outed for offering bribes to Honduras. United Fruit - now Chiquita - has its own sordid history of mixing business and foreign policy.
Interesting note: Apollo emphasizes that their "niche" is in distressed businesses and leverage buy outs - or maybe they'll just take some decent intel to better inform their market moves.

 

I feel like everyone weirdly overlooks the fact that Jared Kushner is the son of Charles Kushner, and today shares the same business with him. Like, Charles Kushner ended up in federal prison for exactly the same sort of thing that's about to land on Jared. Who looked at Jared Kushner and ever once thought, "I know his dad went to prison, but he sure seems like a straight shooter."

You could argue that in any other administration, any one of those stories would have been massive and might have even sunk the ship. Someone on here a little while ago was saying the hysterical reaction to Trump was getting tiring and the left had to pick its spots.

PICK YOUR SPOTS? WHAT GIANT FUCKING CRAZY THING DO YOU CHOOSE TO IGNORE?

 

Cue Harry Chapin's The Cat's in the Cradle....

Could have been weirder in DC today since the Warriors didn't get a visit to the White House. .

 

Jared is a legacy — he has an advantage on getting into prison.

It takes a special kind of stupid to be rich and fuck up a Manhattan real estate deal. Look no further than 666 Fifth Ave.

Yet, Jared Kusher was able to fuck it up.

Just the kind of person who should have security clearance and be given a major role in government.

 

And a total joke within the polling industry because they only call land lines. These days, that means one thing: a populace disproportionately white and old -- a Trumpist clientele if ever there was one.
So enjoy the Rasmussen results, Trumpists. They lie just as much as your guy does.

 

But then what's stopping Wal Mart from saying, for example, that they won't sell items to black people?

How would this differ from a business selling alcohol to 18-year-olds?

 

A conservative hero who, in the words of the alleged president, has "an amazing reputation."
Congrats, Trumpists. This is your guy.
