President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

It sounds nuts, but maybe there's no calculation and he just thinks our gun laws are fucking insane.

 

So you think he's going to flip on his statements today after his handlers get a hold of him?

 

Well, if that's the case, he's right. They are.

EDIT: He's also a New Yorker, and that might be what's at play here.

 

I don't think so. This would require some shred of morality.

 

I think he will say whatever strikes him at the moment and we can't judge what he does or doesn't want at any given time. The amateur sleuthing here as to his reasoning is quite funny.

 

That's exactly right. He wants the people in the room with him to like him, so he'll say whatever gets him through that meeting.

 

We're all gonna be sorry when he wins re-election by promising to make sure the cafeteria adds an ice cream sundae bar with 50 different toppings.

 

Another fucking Reese Witherspoon discussion?

Fuck almighty.

 

I am in about 80 percent in agreement with this, but I'd add that since he has so little actual knowledge of public policy, almost every actual policy suggested to him sounds like a good idea, even if the proposals are directly contradictory. So meetings go like the ones we saw today, and when he watches Fox and Friends, we get the angry tweets.

 

Breaking on the Bloomberg terminal: the White House has pulled Top Secret clearances from more than 30 staff

 

That's not possible. This board has told us he's trending upward.

 

Is this a good trait in a public servant?
