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

If the FSB (whoever) set up this "honeytrap", I'm quite sure they would have thrown in a 15 year old amongst the prostitutes, so it's not only a bit sleazy vomitinducing but also criminal too.

Good to know Trump really does believe in "trickle down" economics. boak

Apparently though, it's all Fake News, and the alt-right know all about that. Maybe they'll shut up about Pizzagate now.

SomeDayMyPrinceMightCome · 11/01/2017 12:36

birdy, you're probably right.

If he weren't to go the distance, though, Pence would take over, is that right? Would that be better? Don't know much about him except that he had some worrying views on abortion rights etc.

Still, I fail to see how anyone could be worse than Trump right now. It's not the man's unpleasant views as such, and I certainly couldn't care less about his sexual proclivities, it's the bigger issue that he's so unutterably crass and childish and ego-maniacal.

Obviously I'm a fan of Obama but how can anyone think DT looks anything llike presidential this week, when he's making jibes at Meryl Streep over Twitter? It's pathetic.

I like to think that if I were an American who had voted for him, I'd right now be plain worried and upset about the embarrasment the man is heaping on the actual office of the Presidency, rather than cheering him on cos he's 'one of us'

MadisonAvenue · 11/01/2017 12:41

SomeDay nothing seems to be said about any of the bad press and allegations against him but they're right on there sticking up for him, for instance, when Meryl Streep made her speech or when Alec Baldwin takes the piss on SNL.
Hillary is a crook, he is a man of the people is their thinking from what I can make out.

CaraAspen · 11/01/2017 12:44

Goes without saying. He should ask himself, "Would Obama do this?"

Twogoats · 11/01/2017 12:44

I feel bad for his wife and son. Sad

CaraAspen · 11/01/2017 12:44

He might find it very hard to be so rational, of course.

originalmavis · 11/01/2017 12:47

But do they really, actually, truthfully believe that someone who has made so much money is an 'honest Joe'? He brags about not paying tax, do god alone knows what he isn't telling us.

Man of the people, my arse. Has he ever worked for anyone? Been on the dole? Worried about food on the table or wether the local state school is closing down?

I think not.

Lweji · 11/01/2017 12:51

He should ask himself, "Would Obama do this?"

He probably does, and then does the opposite.

Roussette · 11/01/2017 12:56

He is very busy tweeting... 3 minutes ago, 8 minutes, 20 minutes, 38 minutes

Lots of caps and "VERY UNFAIR"!!! A SORRY STATE! and Are we living in Nazi Germany?!!!"

I think someone needs to have a word with him. And tell him that silence is far more powerful than this kneejerk pathetic tweeting. But OTOH keep it coming Donald, keep digging that hole for yourself.

InformalRoman · 11/01/2017 12:59

No links with Russia? IPull the other one: www.google.co.uk/amp/amp.timeinc.net/time/4433880/donald-trump-ties-to-russia/?client=safari

originalmavis · 11/01/2017 13:00

Has he really got nothing better to do? I have to manage Twitter accounts at work and it takes time to make sure that you are tweeting coherent, eloquent, relevant, truthful, interesting content...

Oh hang on a minute, there's the problem right there...

RufusTheSpartacusReindeer · 11/01/2017 13:01

What!!!

He is confused about what county he lives in as well roussette????

OhYouBadBadKitten · 11/01/2017 13:05

Hasn't he got a press conference to prepare for?

Roussette · 11/01/2017 13:05

Rufus... in full...

"Intelligence agencies should never have allowed this fake news to "leak" into the public. One last shot at me.Are we living in Nazi Germany?"

Godwin's Law... it didn't take long!

OhYouBadBadKitten · 11/01/2017 13:13

Just reading the comments under the Nazi Germany tweet. I'm having to suppress giggles at some of them as I'm in a really crowded train. Also had to resist sharing them with the stranger sat next to me.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 11/01/2017 13:15

The 'one last shot at me'?

Mr Trump I'm sure it won't be the last shot!

squoosh · 11/01/2017 13:18

I love that he's whining about 'fake news'. Actual fake news won him the election. He wasn't complaining about it then...

birdybirdywoofwoof · 11/01/2017 13:24

All he has to do is blame the 'shady dark figures behind the scenes' and everyone will get behind him.

originalmavis · 11/01/2017 13:25

He is in his own little planet and reminds me if the office bore who spouts crap at the coffee station and everyone tried to avoid at functions.

Putin says it's lies. Well, he would know.

I'm enjoying all the pouty hurt feelings going on here. 'Its not true! It's not it's not it's not it's NOT! I shall skweeem and skweeem and hold my breath until my face turns blue...'

NotDavidTennant · 11/01/2017 13:32

Nixon was impeached, then thrown out when convicted.

Actually, when impeachment became inevitable, Nixon resigned in order to leave office with some dignity. Sadly I can't imagine the same will happen with Trump.

squoosh · 11/01/2017 13:32

I'm convinced he's been wronged. He wouldn't have used CAPS LOCK unless he was telling the truth would he?

birdybirdywoofwoof · 11/01/2017 13:39

How many exclamation marks were there tho? I like to see at least four a tweet.
