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

He's like a giant orange thin-skinned angry toddler. With nuclear codes.

ThisIsStartingToBoreMe · 09/01/2017 22:16

I'm starting to quite like him - he's great entertainment value!

MrSlant · 09/01/2017 22:20

He won't be allowed a smart phone will he once he's POTUS? They are a security threat so get confiscated or something. I'm looking forward to seeing them try that one.

LineyReborn · 09/01/2017 22:23

I think he's exchanged his genitals for a dongle and two blackberries.

This will be the White House personnel when they have to see Trump whilst he's in a bad mood.

Grin

I still smile when I think about a few nights after he won the vote and he went back to Trump Tower about 6pm and then dismissed the press saying he was staying home for the night. Then took his family out to dinner Grin in peace and without a press entourage

It's just unbelievable, it really is, how is this not a bad acid trip! Like Brexit I keep hoping someone will say it wasn't valid and overturn it, I hoped for a second that Russia interfering would mean a new election!

This immature nut job is going to be sworn in as president of the US in less than 2 weeks, and no one can even get him to rein it in on Twitter and at least seem professional?? He can appoint his own family to advise him - yep like his son in law is going to tell him to grow up??

Ncbecauseitshard · 09/01/2017 22:27

I believe in the white powder explanation.

DearMrDilkington · 09/01/2017 22:29

I think his a bit terrified he won the election and isn't sure what to do with himself. His very cartoon like, he even looks like a cartoonShock.
He won't last 4 years, he'll get bored and want to be a spaceman next..

MitzyLeFrouf · 09/01/2017 22:30

There, there Donnie. If you think Meryl's speech and Alec Baldwin's (hilarious!) SNL sketches are offensive well you need to buckle up. The next four years ( if you make four years that is without being impeached) are going to be a bumpy ride.

CondensedMilkSarnies · 09/01/2017 22:35

I was thinking this too Op. His aides must be pulling their hair out .

LineyReborn · 09/01/2017 22:35

He thinks impeachment is a Mexican fruit cartel.

The trouble with a heart attack spiriting dear Donald away is that the man who'll replace him is just as depressing a prospect.

Maybe there could be a meteorite shower that would do a 2 for 1...

AwaywiththePixies27 · 09/01/2017 22:40

I once read somewhere that Adele has to go through at least three people before she tweets anything. I dont think Adele could offend people if she tried.

Trump on the other hand. Well I'd suggest he needs to go through at least 20 people before he's allowed to tweet anything.

If he loses his shit over an actress calling him out on his behaviour imagine what he could do if someone bigger, like Iran, pissed him off. Confused

Creatureofthenight · 09/01/2017 22:41

He is utterly without dignity or gravitas. The fact that he has been made leader of such a powerful country is as ridiculous as it is scary.

Communion yes! 😂

LeopardIsTheNewBlack · 09/01/2017 22:44

YANBU, of course you should! He's so childish. I like Meryl Streep as an actress, didn't care one way or another about her speech. Of course a presidential candidate shouldn't make fun of the disabled .
He keeps going on about Clinton voters being sore losers . I voted Clinton even though I can't stand her, because anyone is better than Trump. I'm not sore she lost, I'm just horrified that awful Twitter Trump is going to be a world leader Confused

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 09/01/2017 22:48

Just imagine being on Trump's social media team - just waiting to see how many times and how far into his mouth he will insert his foot on any given day!

If he is this petulant and thin-skinned now, before he's even been inaugurated, it is going to be a looooong four years.

Topseyt · 09/01/2017 22:49

Trump is just an utter nightmare.

He will be the first President to use Twitter as his main tool when public comment is required, and even when it isn't. He will use it disastrously if they can't get a handle on him.

It might be fair to say that Donald Trump is a disaster looking for a place to happen.

MitzyLeFrouf · 09/01/2017 22:56

I bet his people gave had tens of meetings to discuss how to get him to hand over control of his Twitter account.

Can you imagine the pouting and yelling that would ensue if they tried to get him to button it? He's the Great Trump doncha know.

originalmavis · 09/01/2017 23:05

If that was my husband I'd hide his phone in the freezer or washing machine. I'd be mortified at him being such a jackass.

Does he really gave no-one calling him out for being such an arse?

And as for the whole "I wasn't mocking his disability, I didn't know he was disabled..." oh come on, it's like catching a small child with their hand in the cookie jar, cheeks bulging and chocolate crumbs all over their face, saying "mamma, it wasn't me, I didn't do nothin... I didn't even know there were cookies in the jar...'

He will pick on the wrong person that his supporters hold in high esteem and will never be forgiven. Probably a Kardashian or something like that.

I don't think he's ever going to get near the codes.
(this might be wishful thinking...but they won't will they?)

originalmavis · 09/01/2017 23:11

I'm sure they've just told him that the code is 12345.

HateSummer · 09/01/2017 23:28

My children are scared of him. It's funny but absolutely terrifying at the same time. They sometimes run around the house telling each other Donald Trump is after them. He's the boogeyman for this generation...except he's actually real 😱.
