President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Sharpton might not be a part of the administration, but by any definition, he's a top advisor to the President.

That means there were at least 72 instances since Obama took office where Sharpton visited the White House for official business.

Giuliani’s claim the White House invited Al Sharpton up to 85 times

 

Well Giuliani says so, it must be fact

 

Let it be noted this is still an historic low for a President-elect right after election. YF's assumption that poll numbers always move in a straight line is mere triumphalism.

 

Have to debut with this. The Recovery and Reinvestment Act paid for a bunch of road projects. So it's false to say none of the money was used for infrastructure.

 

Funny you'd cherry pick that line but not read further. They said 72 after you get rid of duplicates/cancelled meetings. Then they broke down the times they were in the same place and at most you get 36 actual meetings with the president, most likely less.

 

I have to imagine that a lot of racists get a few dozen meetings with the president over the years. Seems fairly benign.

 

The Washungton Post fact checker confirmed 72 visits -- and this is a couple of years old -- but still gave him 1 Pinocchio.

 

Trump's historic win!

 

This is kind of like the iPhone problem.

It's been invented. Eleventy billion people have one. So how on earth do you sustain this "growth"?

There is a bridge to San Francisco. There is a tunnel to New York. There are 46,876 miles of interstate in the United States. They are done. Now they just need to be maintained.

Tell us what NEEDS to be built, and then you can scold Obama for not building it.

 

You ask Trump to build something majestic and memorable, and the odds that it's isn't a monument to himself that's bigger and glitzier than any other monument in history are about zero.
