President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Surprised winning the presidency didn't humble him and make him grateful.

 

And adoption = repeal of sanctions.

 

A trade where everybody wins. Since sanctions are hurting American and European companies, too, and the adoption ban hurts families who want to adopt and, of course, the kids.

Sanctions are, as one of my favorites put it last night, "attitude where there is no real policy." Something to do so you can puff out your chest and say you did something.

 

The Magnitsky Act is costing Putin multiple millions. That's why it's such a huge priority for his agents here.

That's a pretty good example of why McCain is an often very effective senator but isn't really cut out to be president. On issues that he's passionate about -- and boxing regulation is one of them -- he can get things done. Military issues and campaign finance are two of the big ones for him.

Other issues, like the economy and health care... he can't even pretend to give a shit. It's just not in him to even fake it effectively. That proved to be a bit of a liability when the economy melted down in the middle of his run for president.

 

But you would think, considering it's been nine months since he was elected, that he might have, you know, learned the stuff he didn't since, you know, he is the President and all.

 

Trump is who he is. I get the sense that his "rise" in the real estate game was aided by people working out the deals ahead of time and he'd come in at the end and sign the papers, shake the hands and pose for pictures. I haven't seen much more of that from him as President.

 

What's the issue here, other than your wanting to draw attention to a six-year-old?

And if he doesn't know by now that the adoption ban was put in place as retaliation because we punished some murdering oligarchs, then there is no hope for him.

 

Everything spelled right . I consider that a Trump win.

 

I wonder how many rounds Trump will get in during his August residency at his club in New Jersey? O/U at 10.
