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'm quite good at diplomacy. And washing up.

I'm still trying to get my head round the fact he is about to become President and to convince myself it's all a horrible dream and I'll wake up and it's not true. I'll shudder every time I hear the words 'President Trump'. From the Obamas to this circus.... oh dear

My daughters call him President Fart

How about a sabbatical in a quiet little corner of Europe?
I'm sure there would be a few University positions to apply to.

Or just relax and write your memoirs.

If you're ruling out saucy stuff it will have to be cake and badly knitted scarves then.
Could you read poetry and tell me everything will be OK?

I can do Haiku

President was me
The think I did a good job
Fart face followed me

My daughter calls him Donald farty pants, I'm so proud. I realised I have had radio 4 on too much in the background when she started telling me that "breakfast means breakfast mummy".

FUUUCK.

Can't type

President was me
I think I did a good job
Fart face followed me.

Move into real estate and be much, much better at it than Trump.

That's why happens when one leaves the Oval Office. No one checks your posts.

The real Obama would never swear.

Are you his anger translator?

I'm beginning to doubt if everyone on the internet is who they say they are

I am definitely the real Obama. I occasionally swear, but only occasionally. Examples would be when the Republicans try to vote down ObamaCare because they believe the state should not provide basic health care. And when I mistype on a forum post.

I can honestly say that I haven't been myself since Trump won the electoral college vote.

Neither have I.

Obama has a job still as the former president of the us. He's already told us what the job description is. No need for an employer.

I can't wait for Michelle to run for POTUS and knock that orange shit out of the white house, unless he gets impeached first.

Even mighty Michelle can't win if voting rights are toast.

We are in very strange times when I find myself thinking fondly of Ronald Reagan.

Trump seems to think the press conference went well.

He must have one of those mirrors that answers his questions. Only, it's set to soothe his ego.

Am I the most bootifool?
Yes, you are.
Does anyone else respect women like I do?
No, nobody.

Earlier this morning:
"We had a great News Conference at Trump Tower today. A couple of FAKE NEWS organizations were there but the people truly get what's going on"
Yes, Donald, they get it.
And the "fake news" only ask the questions.
And report whatever comes to their desks.
Like you do with Twitter, Mr President Elect.
See below.

""@zhu_amy3: @realDonaldTrump It's Morning in America again!!! ☀️☀️☀️Thank you President-Elect Donald Trump!!! So proud of you!!!!" THANKS!"

It must be nice to have one supporter.

Ethics chief slams plans

Seriously, how can he possibly get away with keeping hold of his businesses and receiving the profits from all those foreign investements?As the article says it is definitely wholly unconstitutional. Getting his sons to run it is not the same of divesting himself of assets. Bizarrely Tillerson has managed to set a good example in this respect.

I rather wish the author of the dossier leaked yesterday hadn't been named. I fear for his life.

On these intel reports re Russia... I've heard repeatedly that there is audio and video - are they planning to release this just in time for the elegant and softly sensual inaugaration?

On this inaugaration, there's a clip somewhere from Tom Barrack who's overseeing events saying this...
"So what we've done instead of trying to surround him with what people consider A-listers is we are going to surround him with the soft sensuality of the place. It's a much more poetic cadence than having a circus-like celebration that's a coronation. That's the way this president-elect wanted it. I think it will be contributive. It will be beautiful. The cadence of it is going to be 'let me get back to work. We're fortunate that we've got the greatest celebrity in the world - the president elect"

Nothing to do with the huge list of A listers who've refused to perform then.

That's the way this president-elect wanted it.

I bet it was.

This is something else he may regret using his tweets about.
He stopped the Republican Senators from effectively downgrading the Ethics Committee through some secret meetings.
He tweeted that there were better things for them to work on.

Now, the "Trump Organization handover plan [is] slammed by ethics chief".

Depending on the result, he may well end up kicking himself. The devious Republicans were only trying to help him.

There is no way on God's earth that Trump was offered a choice between a big celebration fully of A listers and one involving surrounding him with soft sensuality, and went for the soft sensuality option. It's a bit depressing that they think the American public is stupid enough to buy that.
