President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Yeah. If this WH is known for anything, it's for their messaging. They are great at getting all of their surrogates on the same page.

 

Did Trump send Rodman to North Korea??!!

No. We know who is sponsoring his trip:

The former NBA star teamed up with online betting firm Paddy Power for a series of trips to the isolated nation in 2013. This time around, he's gone in with the backing of PotCoin, a digital currency for the cannabis industry.

"Headed back to North Korea. Thank you PotCoin.com for sponsoring my mission," Rodman tweeted Tuesday before taking a flight from Beijing to Pyongyang, the North Korean capital.

It's not clear exactly what Rodman is hoping to achieve with his latest visit to one of the world's most repressive regimes. For PotCoin, the goal appears to be publicity.

The WaPo has something on it as well as more in the same vein.

Opinion | Trump is likely to get much, much worse. Here are a few big things to watch for.

 

To change the subject, Panama has concluded a trade alliance with China which includes breaking off relations with Taiwan. China has built a good deal of infrastructure in Panama and is the number two trade economy in the world while Taiwan is number twenty. Doing this takes Taiwan down to twenty nations who recognize them diplomatically. China has made this same play several times now, picking off Taiwan's allies by making them offers too good to refuse.

China thinks long term diplomatically, playing chess while the U.S. plays checkers... or here lately, Chutes and Ladders.

 

LOL!

As if you ever give the same level of scrunity to anonymous sources cited by FNC about Democrats or moderate GOPers.

 

Why are you ignoring that they are all third party sources?

Why would any publication print what they said without more information? Who heard him make these boasts?

 

At some point, we are going to realize that having everything on computers attached to the web is a bad idea.

 

People are talking.

 

Good one Baron.

 

Ouch, it's early out here in the West for that kind of talk.

 

Rodman already getting results!

 

You print certain details and you burn your source.

And I don't necessarily think it will happen, but at first glance it's a believable story given Newt's 180 on Mueller, other Trumpistas attacking his credibility, the attorney's long relationship with Trump and the fact Trump is an utter moron.

If four third-party sources said the AD is thinking of firing the football coach, then known mouthpieces for the AD suddenly start talking about the coach underperforming it should raise eyebrows and not be dismissed immediately.

But I'm glad you're against the idea Trump should fire Mueller.
