President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Trump went to Jarred, and like most men, paid too much for too little.
Trump throws the Jew-in-law out. Ivanka re-finds Jesus and asks for forgiveness. And Trump leaves office, with a full pension, to spend more time with his family.

 

Telling the Russians he fired Comey due to the Russian investigation, eh?

The Republicans in Congress are learning what banks knew decades ago. It's not a good idea to be a creditor of Donald Trump's.

 

Don't forget, Comey was a "nut job."

 

Hold on hold on hold on..

"Art of the Deal" remember? Trump is the master.

From the Times piece:

A third government official briefed on the meeting defended the president, saying Mr. Trump was using a negotiating tactic when he told Mr. Lavrov about the “pressure” he was under. The idea, the official suggested, was to create a sense of obligation with Russian officials and to coax concessions out of Mr. Lavrov — on Syria, Ukraine and other issues — by saying that Russian meddling in last year’s election had created enormous political problems for Mr. Trump.

I'm sure this negotiating tactic will bear fruit.

Please, all, have a little faith in our president, huh?

 

There's no way he's this naive, is he? Fire the FBI director, probe ends? But we're dealing with Trump here ...

He's that gambler who puts a wager on every horse in the Kentucky Derby just to be safe.

And Congress continues to be "deeply concerned."

 

Hell, *I'm* closer to the American conservative movement than you are. You educated yourself out.

 

So I'm told ...

 

The plot thickens. Spicey does not refute story, but sticks with "grandstanding" story line:


NYT: Trump brags to Russians about firing 'nut job' Comey - CNNPolitics.com

 

Say what now?

 

I still think if Trump had just come out and admitted "Yeah, I was in real estate and casinos. It's a pretty shady business and I wound up doing some deals with Russian mobsters" he could have avoided all this.

Well, that and if he hadn't surrounded himself with Manafort's people.
