Donald Trump

Kev - Coat and Keys

I am shocked that this new book claims the US president is a lazy, racist idiot.

I had always thought American's elected an idiot racist, who happened to be lazy - the more you know!

Interesting read about how the president live tweets Fox and Friends every morning

Fox news controls the White House. Trump is such an empty vessel and as big of a mark as his devoted cult.

Interesting read by the author of that book tRump seems to be so worried about:

 https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/michael-wolff-my-insane-year-inside-trumps-white-house-1071504

 "Since the new White House was often uncertain about what the president meant or did not mean in any given utterance, his non-disapproval became a kind of passport for me to hang around — checking in each week at the Hay-Adams hotel, making appointments with various senior staffers who put my name in the "system," and then wandering across the street to the White House and plunking myself down, day after day, on a West Wing couch."

More quotes from the article, pretty scathing.  No wonder tRump is so upset.

He's just a fucking fool.
like a child
What a fucking moron
For Rex Tillerson, he was a moron.
For Gary Cohn, he was dumb as shit.
For H.R. McMaster, he was a hopeless idiot.
For Steve Bannon, he had lost his mind.

Probably most interesting to me: 
Even Donald Trump couldn't say no to his kids. "It's a littleee, littleee complicated …" he explained to Priebus about why he needed to give his daughter and son-in-law official jobs.

Why? Because they are complicit?  Accomplices to tRump's crimes?  Or are they his handlers as he slips into dementia?

There was more: Everybody was painfully aware of the increasing pace of his repetitions. It used to be inside of 30 minutes he'd repeat, word-for-word and expression-for-expression, the same three stories — now it was within 10 minutes. 

My great-grandmother would do this late in her life.  Never diagnosed, but almost certainly dementia.

I think the diagnoses of dementia, etc, are a little premature at this point. nothing but conjecture by people who are hoping he fails. It could be just as plausible that this behaviour, if it's even true, could be brought on by extreme stress.

I'm no doctor, I just play one on the internet.

Let's say it's not dementia, and tRump's words and actions are conducted with his full mental capacity.  This is even more terrifying.

LOL, I don't think so. I think most of what he says is just for the adoring idiots that show up to his rallies and follow him on twitter. 

most of what I've read about people saying he's losing it is based on stuff said out of the public eye, so we don't know the context, if he actually said it, this person's motivation, etc. So at this point, I take all of this with a grain.

Fox news controls the White House. Trump is such an empty vessel and as big of a mark as his devoted cult.

It's really a frightening cycle.  Fox and Friends provides Trump his daily policy briefing.  It informs the non-golf portions of his day and then Fox Current Events Entertainment becomes the State News Outlet for the evening.

Thirty Bills Unpaid

When is he fulfilling his campaign promise to build a wall?

Has that started? When's the projected finish date?

Welcome back comrade!



Finally recover from your New Year's vodka hangover?

Or just get back from trolling reeducation camp with your new talking points?

The way the WH is refuting this book is absolutely hilarious. We ALL know that a lot of what they're denying is true because we can see it happening with our own eyes. Especially the stuff about Trump having mental problems, and the WH being chaotic. We didn't need the book to tell us that, so I'm not sure how anyone can say we should take that type of content with a grain of salt. Maybe the exact specifics in the book can't be proven, but we see it happening in public too, so to think that it is different behind closed doors is illogical. I can't believe they think the public is so stupid that they can't see how fucked up everything is.

all of these armchair psychologists claiming that the way trump is acting behind closed doors is what I'm talking about. no one can corroborate this, we don't know these people's intentions, we don't know the access they have had with trump personally, and no mental health professional, who is actually a professional, would speak about such things publicly. everyone else is just a guy with an opinion who wants to be on the news.

But if he's acting like that in public 100% of the time, why would he be not be acting that way in private?
