Rather than having a go at them on Twitter and describing them as second rate actresses. Hmm

Otherwise some people might just think you're a bit sensitive.

If that's how he's going to react when people call him out on things, he's going to have a very long 4 years in the White House

Rufus,

Trump is a people's elite, or an elite for people.

Like an unicorn.

InformalRoman · 10/01/2017 22:39

Or a Schrodinger's Elite - both Elite and Not Elite at the same time. It's terribly convenient.

TopCat2017 · 10/01/2017 22:40

Of course Trump isn't the elite, he doesn't go to Davos or to Bildeberg, there is a difference between being rich and being part of the powerful establishment.

TopCat2017 · 10/01/2017 22:42

Really Squoosh, that's disappointing, this was rather hard work to maintain, although fucking good fun.

Megatherium · 10/01/2017 22:43

I can think of at least two stock claig phrases/memes TopCat hasn't used yet. I won't enlighten her as to what they are, it would only encourage her.

TopCat2017 · 10/01/2017 22:44

Schrodingers elite? Brilliant, but its not true, they'd never let Trump in the elitist golf club cause he's not politically correct and tells it like it is.

squoosh · 10/01/2017 22:46

Ha ha, well I was fooled for a moment. Take heed though, you may be in danger of brainwashing yourself into truly admiring the Mighty Trumpers.

He's a two year old in a president's body.

TopCat2017 · 10/01/2017 22:50

Oh Rufus, that is amazing Grin

Just look at him on that Unicorn, going to skewer the elite and their establishment servants. The Unicorn shall be the symbol of the people's revolution of Trump and Brexit.

Unicorns Rampant on a feild with stars

InformalRoman · 10/01/2017 22:56

TopCat - Grin

Except ... Trump likes the idea of golf (and therefore his golf courses) just being for the rich elite.

£235 for a round of golf anyone?

TopCat2017 · 10/01/2017 23:02

But he's had to do that because they don't want someone like him in their elite club, they were happy to take his money..

originalmavis · 11/01/2017 07:06

So now the Russians have dug up sort on la Trump? And he says "no ye dinnea, ya poo heads".

Oweeeeeee! I want to see that! Is he being blackmailed by Putin?

[Rubs hands, cackles, settled back with box of chocs and glass of wine...starts weeping when remembers that this is not an episode of House of Cards.]

birdybirdywoofwoof · 11/01/2017 07:11

'Fake news- this is a witch hunt.'

The thing is the trumpers and the conspiracy theorists all believe that.

"According to the report passed to Comey, Russian intelligence allegedly gathered compromising material during Trump’s stay in Moscow in November 2013, when he was in the city to host the Miss Universe pageant"
www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/jan/10/fbi-chief-given-dossier-by-john-mccain-alleging-secret-trump-russia-contacts

It wouldn't surprise me one bit.

But I'm sure some other distracting tweets will soon come out.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 11/01/2017 08:19

I was watching that break last night on CNN. Flippin heck. And on the day of his news conference. How much do people want to bet that he will cancel his news conference?

OhYouBadBadKitten · 11/01/2017 08:28

I've just seen the report that buzzfeed say is the one that was given to Obama and Trump.
not to be shared with kids

Roussette · 11/01/2017 08:29

He's throwing his toys out the pram this morning then. That's his modus operandi isn't it.

When the result of the election was in doubt - it's rigged!
Call me out on disgusting behaviour - you're second rate + a bitter loser!

Compromising material in intel reports on Trump/Russia - it's a media stitch up!

Reported...
One report, dated June 2016, claims that the Kremlin has been cultivating, supporting and assisting Trump for at least five years, with the aim of encouraging “splits and divisions in western alliance”.

Most explosively, the report alleges: “FSB has compromised Trump through his activities in Moscow sufficiently to be able to blackmail him.” Trumper hasn't responded to that one yet.

All this should make his first press conference verrrrrry interesting...

OhYouBadBadKitten · 11/01/2017 08:34

absolutely. I'm reading that buzzfeed report and if it is true then bloody hell, surely he cannot be president. Although, I suppose Russia have nothing left to blackmail him with now Confused

Megatherium · 11/01/2017 08:36

He'll probably claim the CIA made up the blackmail material - anything to avoid the embarrassment of admitting that maybe the Russians actually are interfering in US politics after all his denials.

shovetheholly · 11/01/2017 08:37

If you'd asked me 10 years ago whether someone who was clearly backed by/in cahoots with Russia could win a US presidential race, I'd have said 'No way!'

We live in very odd times.
