Trumps Tweets

What did Trump mean by "North Korea just stated that it is in the final stages of developing a nuclear weapon capable of reaching parts of the U.S. It won't happen!"?
Was he deriding North Korea's manufacturing capability - which has been somewhat unreliable, but may not remain so, or was he saying that North Korea would be stopped?

It's very hard to tell what he ever means with such short statements. He's had an 'interesting' Christmas with his tweets. He promised that if he got elected he would hardly ever use social media. Funny sort of restraint he's showing.

Trump's latest Tweet:

"One week after I take office, China will completely shut down. Factories will stop production, shops will close, stock markets will not trade, and government will grind to a halt.

The wealthy will flee overseas with their families, citizens desperately trade the RMB for foreign currency, doors all across the country will be plastered with red notices. Supermarket food stock will be depleted and food prices will rise.

The people who stay will have nothing to do except day-long drinking and gambling. There will be sound of gunfire on the streets for days!"

China foreign ministry replied on Weibo: "That's Chinese New Year, you dumb ass." 😅😂

Inkanta - lurking but dropping in just to say I will certainly give that interview a watch, sounds interesting.

CNN's worst nightmare is about to come true and they will be given a taste of their own medicine - I think their modus operandi is about to 'hit the skids'.

Lweji · 16/01/2017 12:07

Because LWEGI refers to KellyAnne - as an emotional abuser!! - "It is also similar to what emotional abusers do

Clearly, I didn't say she was an emotional abuser. I said, clearly, that what she does is similar to what emotional abusers do.
It's also Lweji (j and no need for capitals), and I'm not surprised you think Kellyanne is great.

Lweji · 16/01/2017 12:06

So she wasn't being emotionally abusive

She was acting as emotional abusers do, yes.

Lweji · 16/01/2017 12:05

You mean this link?
edition.cnn.com/2017/01/11/politics/cnn-statement-trump-buzzfeed/index.html

And the CNN report.
chiefs presented Trump with claims of Russian efforts to compromise him [[http://edition.cnn.com/2017/01/10/politics/donald-trump-intelligence-report-russia/index.html]]

This sentence makes it look like it links to BuzzFeed, but the link takes to another CNN report.
"The memos have since been published by Buzzfeed."

I do think it's important for people to know that there are suggestions going around about Trump's possible links to Russia, particularly given that Russia seems to have hacked the DNC and tried to influence the election, and that Trump has asked them publicly to do it, as well as tried to excuse Russia.

It's as important as looking into Hillary's interests. Now, even more, as he is President-Elect.

Got to go -

Inkanta · 16/01/2017 12:04

'I thought it was a very calm interview, and measured and respectful on both parts.'

Oh right - have you seen it now LWEGI. So she wasn't being emotionally abusive?!

Inkanta · 16/01/2017 12:00

Got to go now ....

Needed to come on here and say that much this morning ...

Inkanta · 16/01/2017 11:59

'Why use diminishing terms for her like 'small woman' and terms that magnify him like 'powerful'?'

Because LWEGI refers to KellyAnne - as an emotional abuser!! - "It is also similar to what emotional abusers do. It's the normal, rational, person who gets rattled."

KellyAnne is an emotional abuser - taking on the multi millionaire Anderson?!

Lweji · 16/01/2017 11:57

Anderson: "My job is not to have a great relationship with you. (...) the job of the press is not to be buddy buddies and hang out socially with everyone"
Grin

Also, I don't know why that was labelled as HEATED, or why you think it was a great victory by Kellyanne.
I thought it was a very calm interview, and measured and respectful on both parts. Kellyanne's wriggling is just expected and normal for her, as for most politicians and those trying to defend the indefensible.

Inkanta · 16/01/2017 11:54

She accused CNN of dishonesty by saying two specific pages had been sent to Trump when they had not .....

so it went on and on and on ...

and on ...

Inkanta · 16/01/2017 11:46

'Anderson says that as far as he knows CNN didn't link to any BuzzFeed news or report.'

She said they did and she was reading it - she said she had it with her for the interview.

Lweji · 16/01/2017 11:46

The "little woman" replies "It's just fake news"
to Anderson saying that CNN hasn't reported on anything that was published by BuzzFeed, and they will not discuss it, certainly not on his show.
What was that? Is that brilliant taking on a powerful anchorman or just wriggling out of actually addressing the issue?

OhYouBadBadKitten · 16/01/2017 11:44

Why use diminishing terms for her like 'small woman' and terms that magnify him like 'powerful'? After all she has landed a top white house job.

Anyway back to tweets. After all, this is a thread about his tweets of which there have been many.

According to his interview with Gove, he won't be giving up his tweeting when he becomes president. Oh dear.

What are the bigger issues?

What BuzzFeed two pages?

BuzzFeed published the full report. Not the two pages that were allegedly presented to Obama and Trump and that CNN said had been presented, but that they did not show.
Anderson says that as far as he knows CNN didn't link to any BuzzFeed news or report.

Anderson points out that it's wrong to conflate the two reports and he's right. And that CNN can't be hold responsible for what other news outlets show.

Inkanta · 16/01/2017 11:38

If are any lurkers on here, who are interested to see a small woman take on an anchor man, watch the interview on YouTube. It's in three parts and I think very significant in terms of watching a woman handle a powerful anchor man, but also in how this looks for the future of CNN if they continue to operate this way.

Inkanta · 16/01/2017 11:32

'You say minutia, I say facts'

I say minutia - because there are bigger issues going on here that CNN get away with. He was about scoring a small point - and she wasn't interested.

Inkanta · 16/01/2017 11:29

'Right at the start of that clip, Anderson asked very specifically if it was true or not that CNN had not published the full report'

And she repeated many times that she had an issue with them linking to Buzz Fees two pages. Her focus was on their unethical and unprincipled way of working and the fact that THEY in actual fact were being slippery about their actions. She was questioning them - and making Anderson and CNN account for their fake news!

Lweji · 16/01/2017 11:22

You say minutia, I say facts. Grin

Lweji · 16/01/2017 11:21

Inkanta.

Right at the start of that clip, Anderson asked very specifically if it was true or not that CNN had not published the full report, and so that what Trump said was misleading. Kellyanne simply refused to acknowledge from that start that CNN had not published the report. It just went downhill from there. On her part.

Yes, she remains calm. But that's not to say she's not lying, twisting, avoiding, deflecting and so on. Typical strategies by politicians (and she does it masterfully) and abusers.

Inkanta · 16/01/2017 11:17

'I think the interviewers almost enjoy watching her wriggle out of a direct question. It's a master class in slipperiness.'

It wasn't that she was wriggling out of direct questions, she just didn't play the game of the anchor man clinging to irrelevant minutia to win a point. She didn't join in with that and just said what needed to be said. In the end he looked like a child.

Inkanta · 16/01/2017 11:11

'It's also similar to what emotional abusers do. It's the normal, rational, person who gets rattled.'

Rubbish what a thing to say! Watch it on YouTube.

Anderson is the established powerful CNN anchor man on 11 million a year being taken down by calm, unflustered Kelly Anne who has only worked for Trump since August last year!

The rules are clearly changing for the better .. what worked before doesn't now for the powerful CNN.

Lweji · 16/01/2017 10:54

Never seen Anderson look so rattled. KellyAnne was great!

It's also similar to what emotional abusers do. It's the normal, rational, person who gets rattled.

Lweji · 16/01/2017 10:53

'That Kellyanne person is as slippery as a slippery thing.'

As Trump's senior campaign manager she did a brilliant job. Steady, calm and cool. Watch some of her interviews.

It looks like you actually agree, then. Grin

I think the interviewers almost enjoy watching her wriggle out of a direct question. It's a master class in slipperiness.
