President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

He does seem to be ratcheting up the crazy. I'm a little torn about it. Obviously, I want to see him get royally fucked up. But it seems the closer we get to such a resolution, the more likely it is that he does something tragically rash and dumb.

 

He 's gonna need a bigger bus!

 

I don't think it is overreacting to despise a person that continues to support this "man". I give an initial pass to poor, scared uneducated voters that were feeling a sense of desperation. But the scumbags that continue to support him or even excuse his behavior because "Obama had Ayers as a pastor" own this and need to always be reminded that they are scum.

 

I assume he just found out about Tillerson's comments yesterday and that's the explanation for this tweet.

 

I'm with you. If you support Trump at this point, you're either stupid, racist, or an asshole. Probably all three. I still have a little sympathy for the dumb ones. The racists and assholes can go live in a cardboard box on Failurist Island for the rest of their lives.

 

Yeah, @heyabbott's act is a little tired, isn't it?

 

If you spent a fortnight in prison, was it really prison?

 

We were at dinner a couple of weeks ago, and the table next to us were 3 couples. 2 of the men were a little overserved and were being very pro-Trump. I (surprisingly for me), nicely asked them to keep it down as they were disturbing our dinner. Guy asks me if I don’t like Trump — I said I was very much anti-Trump but regardless, I just wanted to be quiet as I wanted to enjoy a night out with my wife.

They calmed down but as they were about to leave, the louder of the guys says to me that he loves Trump because it’s finally ok to be proud to be an American and we are finally being respected around the world. I asked him where does that belief come from and he says that CNN and MSNBC don’t want you to know the truth.

You simply can’t argue with people like that. They’ve tapped into a cycle of lies and any challenge to those lies is simply fake news which hates America.

 

Remember when Rex Tillerson, as CEO of ExxonMobil, he said he wanted to have a better relationship with Chevron? Or when he said he believed in climate change after the executive director of the Sierra Club wrote him a letter, and that Rex then fell in love with him?
