    Hmmm

    I've never considered something such as this, but... it... very... well... could... be.

    Holy shit. He's half man and half pumpkin.
    I, for one, welcome our narcissistic half pumpkin half man tyrannical overlords.

    At this point, it would be impossible to rate any speech Trump has ever given above a D. It's a success if he doesn't yell or call anyone names. A 7th grader would do a better job giving a speech. Can we verify that Trump actually has a HS diploma? I don't think he could pass a placement test to get out of remedial reading and writing. We had plenty of Bushisms, but man Trump is going to have an Encyclopedia Brittanica series just for each month.

    I really is astonishing to me. It also clarifies a couple of things for me. 1) Trump voter demographics are actually as they were described by pollsters in regard to education levels - they like him because he sounds like one of them; and, 2) he is best suited to Twitter where 140 characters keeps focus on monosyllabic words and less on grammar or analysis.

    He should probably take a note from Obama and just start reading from the teleprompter! Assuming he can read of course...

    Agreed. It would be much safer. And I probably have a comment on this board from 8 years ago where I made fun of Obama for not being able to talk without a prompter. He was full of uhhhs and umms every time he went off script. But he did grow into a great orator over time. I don't think the same will ever be said of Trump. At least Obama had a solid foundation of intelligence and education to work with. He just needed some work on his delivery. The problem with Trump is that his delivery is a perfect reflection of what he's working with upstairs.

    That old white prick can go back to wherever the fuck his ancestors came from, because it sure as hell isn't America.

    I remember the incident, but never saw the end of the video. Fuck these racists

    Um...pretty sure that was trending way back when it happened. Wasn't it before the primaries? If I remember right, the dude just got up and started asking questions without taking his turn, which I'm fine with throwing him out for. The guy at the end further being an asshole was not running for president was he?

    You've most likely seen it, when the Univision dude got thrown out for making a scene...just like any other protester at these events would have been.

    I guess it's old, but it's the video of Univision's Jorge Ramos being tossed from Trump's news conference during the primaries and then one of Trump's security detail telling him to get out of "my" country.

    Um............I had heard of this incident, but this was the first time that I had seen it. Hence, the "What the fuck?" reaction.

    if there is one good thing about this adminstration, and that trump has filled it with rich morons and people with zero experience in the political realm, is that they all sound exactly as they are: complete fucking idiots. politicians are thought of as liars. well, all of these fuckers are too, except they are really, really bad at it. they can barely speak publicly without fumbling over themselves not knowing what to say. and when they do say something, it's torn to shreds by anyone with a shred of intelligence or knowledge of history and facts.

    the big cheeto is the worst of them all. spicer is a close second.

    it seems impossible for them to hide their outright stupidity and ignorance.

    From a perspective of hiding things, we are lucky they don't seem interested in hiding things (other than personal finances). Everything done so far had been mentioned hundreds of times on the campaign trail.

    Yes, let's normalize how Trump handles and has handled press conferences or anyone with a differing point of view. Any yes, you're right, the guy who tells him to get out of the country isn't the president, but I wonder why he is security for Trump or why Trump told Ramos to go back to Univision? Pretty clear Trump's message was clear to that security fuck.

    "Get out of my country" says Trump's representative. To an American citizen with an accent. Wow. I guess he "let one slip" there. And Univision is an enemy obviously. Crazy. I realize that it's an old clip, but I hadn't seen it. And the same attitude stands today. Scary.

    so....my take (I heard it live and thought this immediately) is that Trump has no idea who Douglass is/was.

    Clearly you don't get it if that's how you summarize the video by painting the reporter as the issue... or you just don't think it's a big deal to go around telling people to get out of your country... especially when you work for the effing POTUS

    I don't know anything about the mission, other than the Obama admin left it open and handed it over for whatever reason, and that an 8 yr old girl was murdered, her brother a 16 year old us citizen and father were murdered by drone under Obama.
