    So much for the myth of the deal maker who can get things done.
    Yup. Pelosi owned him like a bitch.

    Indeed she did:




    I suppose when he promised all that 'winning!' he didn't actually specify by whom.

    This is only a short term temporary measure.
    “Let me be very clear,” Trump said, “we really have no choice but to build a powerful wall or steel barrier. If we don’t get a fair deal from Congress, the government will either shut down on 15 February again, or I will use the powers afforded to me under the law and the constitution of the US to address this emergency.”

    A gratuitous photograph of a young Nancy Pelosi with another president.

    Seems it was true. All this time Trump has railed against undocumented workers, for years now he has been hiring them.

    https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/...ectid=12196987

    Eric Trump did not respond to specific questions about how many undocumented workers had been fired at other Trump properties and whether the company had, in the past, made similar audits of its employees' immigration paperwork. He also did not answer whether executives had previously been aware that they employed undocumented workers.

    ...He further avoided responding when asked who his father is...

    ...from John Kerry's speech at a Washington dinner:

    "Donald Trump could be the first President to go to the inaugural of his successor in a limo with license plates made by his campaign manager."

    ^, ^^ could he go to the inauguration of his successor if he's in jail? Can his successor pardon him before being inaugurated?

    Yes, making a point at the expense of Kerry's humourous point.

    No. The president-elect must first be sworn in before assuming the duties and powers of the office. That's my understanding of it.

    After 2 years of being told "weather" is different from "climate", the idiot-in-chief calls for global warming to return (as it's gone away and it's cold outside).

    Yeah, but I really do suspect that in this matter he's sincerely ridiculing the idea that climate change is real. I believe he's that ignorant.

    Based on his exhaustive study of climate science.

    As Bloomberg, (who seems set to throw his hat in the ring as a democrat) said..

    “He failed at business, and now I think it’s fair to say he is failing at government,” Bloomberg said in a speech at Saint Anselm College.“His own administration produced a damaging report showing that we have what they called substantial damage to the US economy, environment and human health from climate change. And you know what the president said in response? ‘I don’t believe it,’ he said. How can you not believe it?” Bloomberg said.

    “I hate to break this to you, Mr President, but if you don’t believe in science, don’t go to the doctor, don’t get on an airplane, don’t talk on the phone, and don’t even think about tweeting.”
    https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...ire-2020-trump

    Lets face it. Trump's an idiot.
