Thread: President Donald Trump

Do they have names?

^^ I just saw a news report of that speech and Trump did indeed use a TelePrompTer. Why do you think he did not?

"Twitter’s co-founder and ex-CEO Evan Williams says that if the platform helped elect Donald Trump, he apologizes for his role."

And so he should.

"Evan Williams, Twitter’s co-founder, when confronted with the claim that Twitter may have helped Donald Trump become president, told the New York Times: “It’s a very bad thing, Twitter’s role in that. If it’s true that he wouldn’t be president if it weren’t for Twitter, then yeah, I’m sorry.”"

Look at 1:54 you fucking imbecile.

Of course he used a teleprompter, it's right there.

Benny probably wrote his own speech on the fly.

Orange Cunto has someone write it for him and put it on a screen to try and stop him being a complete fucking arse.

Added: In fact look at 11:17, he's got two in case one breaks. They can't trust the fucking idiot without one.

Um, you don't look DOWN when you're using a teleprompter. How did Trump supporters get to be so stupid in the first place?

Poor orange cunto's latest attempt to stop the Russia investigation has fallen flat on its arse.

Mueller has been cleared by the DoJ because he has no confidential information about Kushner and was not involved in representing him.

Cheers!

LMAO, funny I was thinking the same...

Whilst I don't doubt there is little love lost between the Trumps, she may have been teaching a rather naive President a lesson in etiquette - there are aspects of Jewish orthodoxy that regard displays of public affection between males and females as unacceptable.

Then again ...

Yeah, and when he did ad lib at the beginning it was his normal repetitious, circular rubbish interspersed with "terrible, "horrendous" "horrendous" etc and laced with lots of awkward pauses and stumbles....as usual.

So really, a double whammy of shame for Trump...in 2 seconds.

So apparently orange cunto IS Putin's Cock Holster.

Following its investigation, the FCC released a statement, saying, "Consistent with standard operating procedure, the FCC's Enforcement Bureau has reviewed the complaints and the material that was the subject of these complaints. The Bureau has concluded that there was nothing actionable under the FCC's rules.

And now apparently he's had to use his phone call.

WASHINGTON —
President Donald Trump has retained Marc Kasowitz as his private attorney for the special counsel's probe of alleged Russian meddling in the U.S. election and possible ties between the Trump campaign and Moscow, a Fox Business Network reporter said on Twitter on Tuesday.

Another bad day at the office for orange cunto.

And that's before his "Steal from the poor, give to the rich" budget gets announced!

Trump Called Rodrigo Duterte to Congratulate Him on His Murderous Drug War: “You Are Doing an Amazing Job”

Donald Trump may have convinced Carrier not to move its Indianapolis furnace plant to Mexico. But the company is still shipping about 300 of its jobs to Mexico right before Christmas.

In a formal notice to the state of Indiana, the company detailed its plans to eliminate 338 jobs at the plant on July 20, four supervisor jobs in October and a final 290 jobs on Dec. 22.
The job cuts are not a surprise. Even back when the company announced it would keep the furnace plant open, it disclosed plans to move some of the work there making fan coils to Mexico to take advantage of the lower labor costs.

Trump claimed during a Dec. 1 visit to the plant that Carrier had agreed to keep 1,100 jobs at the plant. But the real number was 800. To get to that 1,100 number, Trump and Carrier were counting 300 engineering and administrative positions that were never expected to be moved to Mexico.
And Greg Hayes, CEO of Carrier's corporate parent, United Technologies (UTX), has said that automation will ultimately replace some of those 800 jobs that were saved last year.

"We're going to...automate to drive the cost down so that we can continue to be competitive," he said on an interview on CNBC in December. "Is it as cheap as moving to Mexico with lower cost labor? No. But we will make that plant competitive just because we'll make the capital investments there. But what that ultimately means is there will be fewer jobs."

The company has yet to start installing the automation, said Chuck Jones, the president of the United Steelworkers union local which represents the workers at the plant. He expects that will happen early next year after part of the plant is closed down.
"We know there will be a reduction in jobs. How many, who knows?" Jones said.

Carrier spokespeople did not have an immediate comment on its filing with the state.



Carrier plant that Trump helped save will cut 300 jobs right before Christmas - May. 23, 2017

Trump is a Dumb Person?s Idea of a Smart Person | Mediaite

"There is an episode of Seinfeld in which George, while being dumped, is hit with the “It’s not you, it’s me” breakup line. Forgetting about the rejection, he immediately obsesses over the fact that it was he, George, who came up with the line. He expresses outrage both to the girl and to Jerry, and as always, plays the fool.
I feel his pain.

At the risk of sounding like George Costanza, I will tell you that I came up with the notion that Donald Trump is the “Dumb Person’s Idea of A Smart Person.” I’ve been saying it for twenty years, before it came up on Twitter and, in fact, long before Twitter existed. My wife will vouch for me.

The idea came to me as a reader of Sports Illustrated. Whenever a piece would run on a smarter-than-average jock, a reliable answer to the inevitable question “What do you read?” was “I like the Trump books.” I always found this amusing, as I didn’t think of “the Trump books” as an actual category.

But over the years — out of the mouths of dozens of physically impressive, half-bright men — the idea that Donald Trump is an author to whom one might refer gained currency, and Trump’s ‘literary oeuvre’ was categorized into its own genre. The Romantic Poets, The Russian Novelists, End of Days Fiction, and of course, The Trump Books.

It was a pattern. These guys, and assumedly millions like them, consistently thought Trump was smart. They expounded on it and I extrapolated from it. And it made a certain kind of sense.

These were books, after all, which is a pretty smart category, plainly more exalted than magazines or TV shows. Trump’s books were actually written by other people, but that wasn’t obvious from the glossy cover photos or the gigantic DONALD J. TRUMP on the covers. Trump had ostensibly written these books, which is a smart thing to do. It helped that the books were by turns inane and easy to read. But the most important element in creating the idea that Donald was smart was that these books were about money. Making lots and lots of money.

Trump was rich. He was ostentatiously, famously rich. Everybody wanted to be rich, but not everybody was. The logic flowed easily: being rich meant you were competing well, and outfoxing everyone, and you were therefore smart. Possession of money is the easiest thing to understand. Trump is filthy rich and therefore, must be intelligent.

Regular old smart people might read a book and then decide whether the author seemed smart, based on the writing itself. Was the argument of the book compelling? Did it tell a good story?

Was it well researched? Was the author able to get her point across well, maybe even with a flair for the use of the language itself?

Well, for the less bookish, these nuances are tough and in fact unimportant. Plot? Subtext? Whatever. But a rich guy’s book about getting rich, and being rich, and staying rich? The evidence speaks for itself. Rich guy = smart guy = good book = smart guy.

Plus, Trump always said, and has lately made a regular habit of saying, how smart he is. He says it out loud and with great conviction. It seems comical to me, but I guess it is kind of smart, if convincing dumb people that you are smart is the goal. They do seem to believe him.

He is certainly . . . savvy? I’m sure that if he was trying to convince you why the GE gas range in an overpriced Trump Tower condo is actually superior to a Wolf gas range, he could come up with some clever arguments. He would be wrong, but he would be good at deceiving you, which is kind of smart. Certainly, he read the mood of the American electorate much better than anyone else did. While all of the smarties were snorting over the idea that a buffoon like Trump could be taken seriously in politics, he knew that he could be. That was smart.

So a few months ago, I floated Trump is “The Dumb Person’s Idea of A Smart Person” on my Twitter. Mind you, tweeting to my 65 followers is akin to screaming in an empty room. Nonetheless, I had some friends who saw my tweet tell me that they thought it was a funny idea. One of them even said he thought it was the smartest thing he had read about the Trump phenomenon. It was mildly satisfying.

Then, out of nowhere, the idea briefly caught fire. Only for a day or two, and plainly having nothing to do with me, the idea had its moment in the sun. I was outraged! So maddening to watch others capitalize on my original idea. (You know who would have been smart enough to capitalize? Trump. He’s that kind of smart.)

Someone said “Dumb Person’s Idea of A Smart Person” which quickly evolved into “Poor Guy’s Idea of A Rich Guy,” followed by “Weak Man’s Idea of A Strong Man.” It was everywhere! The Twitter pundits batted it around and fleshed it out and everyone had a good time with my goddamned idea.

The conclusions everyone came to about the Trump voters’ benighted admiration were obvious and compelling. Trump was successful and wealthy and went to a fancy school (SMART!). He lived in ornate, gold-covered dwellings, with a super hot wife, and he flew around in a plane with his name on it (RICH!). He bullied and cajoled and had his goons beat on people who questioned him (STRONG!).

It was all true. Trump is the dumbest version of smart, and the most hideous form of rich, and the weakest, most transparently pathetic kind of strong. But in the same way that Scrapple is a meat, and Milli Vanilli was a musical act, and the Cleveland Browns are a football team, Trump is smart and rich and strong.

At least if you are dumb".

Trump Critics Left & Right Want Him Removed | National Review

Regime Change by Any Other Name?

"The ‘Resistance’ The “Resistance” peddled the yarn that the election tabulations were electronically rigged; then it was an appeal to electors not to do their constitutional duties; then it was reduced to street theater and demonstrations; then it turned to desperate deep-state leaks and media blitzes; now it’s mere hysteria. The effort to remove the president is conducted by the New York Times, the Washington Post, the wire services, and the major networks. And we have seen nothing like it in our time. In the last six months, Americans have been told quite falsely so many untruths about the Trump administration by their news agencies that for all practical purposes, there is no such thing as a media as we once knew it. Journalists are not shy about their prejudices. In some cases — James Rutenberg, Jorge Ramos, and Christiane Amanpour — they have admitted their view that the duty of the new media in the era of Trump is not to stay disinterested, but to become political opponents. Some have been exposed as colluding with Hillary Clinton’s campaign in an effort to prevent Trump’s election victory; they tried to keep those efforts secret because they knew what they were doing was unethical and self-interested. A second effort to achieve a Trump removal is conducted by pop-culture celebrities — who make the Dixie Chicks’ anti-Bush furor of 2003 now look mild. This opposition is waged in a way that would have ruined careers if directed at Barack Obama. Madonna dreams on Inauguration Day of blowing up the White House. Don Cheadle wanted Trump to die in grease fire. Snoop Dogg videotapes his mock execution of a Trump lookalike. Martha Stewart poses flipping the finger to a picture of Trump while flashing the Victory sign to a photo of the felon and former pimp Snoop Dogg. Icon Robert De Niro said eloquently of Trump: “He’s a punk, he’s a dog, he’s a pig, he’s a con, he’s a bullsh** artist.” The efforts to demonize and thus delegitimize and so emasculate Trump have reached sick new heights. On cable television, Bill Maher jokes that Trump’s daughter fellates her father; on national television, Steven Colbert laughs that Trump fellates Vladimir Putin. Mutatis mutandis: Both would have been fired for suggesting the same about the Obama first family. Ad nauseam Trump is compared to Hitler by the likes of Ashley Judd and Chris Matthews. Hillary Clinton announces she is part of the “Resistance,” a reference supposedly to the French maquis who sought to ambush Vichy officials and SS patrols during the Nazi occupation of France. The Democratic party — now bereft of political control in most state legislatures and governorships, as well as in the Senate, the House, the presidency and the Supreme Court — has modeled its opposition on 1960s street theater. More than 60 congressional representatives refused to go to the Inauguration. Some call for Trump’s impeachment; others refuse to hold hearings, block nomination appointments, and demand special prosecutors. The California head of the party leads group chants of “F*** Trump” with extended middle fingers. The Never Trump right has gone from criticism to outright hysteria and is now calling for impeachment or removal on medical incapacity. The subtext of these latest demands is that a Mike Pence — a wonderful man who did not run for president and would never have been elected if he had run — might assume the presidency and return the Republican party to its former supposedly sober and judicious custodians who, after the proper catharsis, might resume their Washington–New York stewardship of the GOP. For these Trump critics, a defeat along the lines of 2008 and 2016 is far preferable to a 2016 victory. Being praised for being good losers is always preferable to being ostracized for being poor winners".

Since you did not post the entire article here is some of its finer BS moments;

The greatest tax- and health-reform packages in years are now in the hands of Congress.

I thought about posting a laughing emoji but realized that this is not in any context funny...

Executive orders have revolutionized the domestic energy industry and achieved a stunning and historic reduction in illegal immigration.

Speechless...

I think that with Trump on one side of the pond and May on the other we can expect another war in the Middle East with feet on the ground. As a Brit I feel that May is desperate for her Maggie Thatcher moment.

how are these times different?

the wa post/ny times received leaks from the "deep state" about trump/russia connections after hillary lost and started this whole thing.

humbert, you have way too much trust in the main stream media, IMO.
