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

[amispartacus]

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

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 think it's positive that he has shaken up the establishment, they were getting far too cosy'

Oh yeah. It's great he's draining the swamp and giving jobs to his oppressed billionaire pals. Fuck you Establishment. Yee haw!

About as healthy as an earthquake.

Well quite Lewji!

The fact that 'journalist' had the gall to act as though fake new was a foreign thing to him though.

Cosier than employing your son in law as senior adviser and resolving business conflicts by getting your sons to run them for you but not talk to you about it? Sounds pretty cosy to me.

Fucking hell. Imagine you'd been in a coma for a year, regained consciousness and then turned on the TV and watched that. I think I'd ask to be put back into a coma or just for straight euthanasia. I have REM's 'It's the end of the world as we know it' stuck in my head. Is there any way back from the abyss? < pours another gin >

Oh humanity.

Lots on the sons taking over his business, son-in-law with a White House position, but just a brief mention of Ivanka dealing with her children settling in..... not sure if Ivanka will remain with the child rearing in accordance with his outdated sexist views, or whether he's letting some dust settle and then she'll have some White House position of her own?

hopefully he has good people supporting him

"I think it's positive that he has shaken up the establishment,"

Yeah, instability is brill. Usually works out really well for the little people. .

The Wall - just listened again (it's at 54 minutes in) - first he says Mexico will pay for The Wall one way or another, then he waffles about how much he loves the Mexican people and the Mexican government, then he says "in order to get The Wall started, Mexico will pay for The Wall but it will be reimbursed".

Don't think that's what he actually means, but that's what he said.

The conference was supposed to be about his businesses and the conflict of interest.
He was probably happy that he had that to talk about.

It was funny when he said they had stopped giving press conferences because of the way the press were with him. How many has he given since announcing his candidacy?

That was the first press conference for 167 days - because the press wouldn't say what Trump wanted them to say about him.

Claig hasn't been banned, has s/he?

Keep your voice down.
MNHQ won't say.

I thought she might have been one of the whooopers in the crowd.

Rufus - you have seen that movie "Candyman" haven't you?

That's what I was thinking...

I think certain posters who have gone quiet recently will be back on the 20th.

I'm just flabbergasted at that press conference.
The man is a cockwomble.
"You're fired"

He really sounded in a bit of a panic. God help us all if he ever has to deal with a major crisis.

I have to weigh up my desire for her to turn up against my fear that it wont work...or do i mean the other way round
