to think you should ignore people having a go at you if you are the President Elect of the USA

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

I saw this thread had loads of replies and assumed claig was here.

Now I'm just very confused.

Lweji · 11/01/2017 13:46

I blame TopCat. Grin

birdybirdywoofwoof · 11/01/2017 13:47

Claig is over-rated. Smile

Roussette · 11/01/2017 13:50

Annoying thing is... just when Trumper is making a bigger arse of himself than normal, and it would be interesting to hear the defence of him, claig ain't around or is she...

Lweji · 11/01/2017 13:51

I love the "leak" between parentheses.
What type of "leak" does he mean? Wink Grin

Or in the words of the immortal Partridge in Blackadder II, Episode 5 - Beer: He said leak. That's a bit rude, isn't it?

Lweji · 11/01/2017 13:52

I've asked MNHQ, they're saying nothing about she who should not be named lest she suddenly appears.

areyoubeingserviced · 11/01/2017 13:53

Totally agree OP- DT is beyond a joke.
I am already missing the Obamas.
From class to crass.

Russia just said the unverified report paid for by political opponents is "A COMPLETE AND TOTAL FABRICATION, UTTER NONSENSE." Very unfair!

Dear Donald Trump, President Elect

It doesn't look good if you quote Russia to dismiss the report about Russia blackmailing you.
Also, how would they know that the report is fake rather than that the contents are false? Do they monitor all security agencies' communications? It looks even worse.

HTH

Donald J. Trump ‏*@realDonaldTrump 1h1 hour ago
Russia has never tried to use leverage over me. I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH RUSSIA - NO DEALS, NO LOANS, NO NOTHING!

Dear Trump

Perhaps you could demonstrate this by publicly showing your tax returns.

Best

Claig had this wonderful ability to ignore all inconvenient facts about all of those she had political pashes on. Must have made life a whole lot easier.

birdybirdywoofwoof · 11/01/2017 13:59

Only one exclamation mark tho, hmmmm

Roussette · 11/01/2017 14:13

birdy I have to fess up.

I might have added more exclamation marks to Trumpers tweets than there actually were. Purely for comedic value of course Grin

birdybirdywoofwoof · 11/01/2017 14:13

Grin APOLOGISE

InformalRoman · 11/01/2017 14:16

FAKE EXCLAMATION MARKS!!!

Lweji · 11/01/2017 14:20

HOW VERY DARE YOU!!!

Roussette · 11/01/2017 14:21

Grin Grin it was only one or three Grin

Lweji · 11/01/2017 14:30

His last tweet is only from 2 hours ago.

I suspect his team have tackled him to the ground and have snatched his phone off him. There may have been doors broken too and some ruffled hair.

squoosh · 11/01/2017 14:33

And there's a separate paper shuffler holding down each wrist and ankle while someone barks a frazzled medic 'inject him with the morphine NOW'.

Roussette · 11/01/2017 14:37

So his first formal press conference for 168 days is still scheduled...

Hilarious tweet from some press guy says
"Breaking: Trump's news conference today moved to bigger room to allow for use of ALLCAPS."

Grin
bumbleymummy · 11/01/2017 14:38

I also have friends in the US who voted for him and are standing by him. I don't get it. Entertainment value perhaps?

MsHooliesCardigan · 11/01/2017 14:38

It'd be hilarious if he turns up at his press conference with a shiner and half his weave hanging off. His team did manage to stop him tweeting for a few days before the election didn't they?
I can imagine the team gently trying to coax his phone off him 'Come on Donald, don't be silly' before they all pile on him and Donald then refuses to get up and lies there kicking his legs saying You're all poo poos and I hate you'.

Lweji · 11/01/2017 14:41

I'm guessing it was Kellyanne.
She is so slippery she could probably get his phone off him without him even realising.

Roussette · 11/01/2017 14:43

Not definite it's going ahead.... it might be cancelled...

Another tweet..
"Maybe Trümp will cancel the news conference because he has an appointment with his urologist..."

bumbleymummy · 11/01/2017 14:45

It is distracting a bit from the purpose of the press conference isn't it? Shouldn't we be more concerned about his conflicts of interests than whether or not prostitutes were peeing over beds?

Lweji · 11/01/2017 14:47

It's not the prostitutes or the pee (it's just an excuse to make fun of him), it's whether he's under Putin's thumb or not.
That's at least as concerning as his business conflicts of interest.

I hope he gets some probing questions.
