As requested from a previous thread

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/2823906-to-think-you-should-ignore-people-having-a-go-at-you-if-you-are-the-President-Elect-of-the-USA?

It's going to be a beautiful thread. MNers, who by the way are amazing, can contribute as much as they want.

Oh, Bush Senior is in intensive care for pneumonia. Trump is probably praying he lasts longer than Friday.

SingaSong12 · 18/01/2017 22:54

First day in office I'm going to dismantle MN. I'm going to keep all the good stuff no-one will lose out, all of it and it's going to cover everyone who currently benefits from MN and it's going to great.....how? Well when they confirm my MN Secretary of State he will let you know.

(That's for this thread - I need a laugh or I'd cry - Sorry if this already been done have RTFT - Trump told Washington Post that everyone will be covered by his replacement for Obamacare - can't announce how though until Health Secretary is confirmed as he has different plans)

Dear God. Just seen a full size picture of the Trump in that tiled room on the news. I don't know what he was aiming for with his facial expression, but its more 'belligerent warlord' than presidential. Grim.

Formerpigwrestler9 · 19/01/2017 00:19

it's not a good look, is he trying to mimic the eagle?

Megatherium · 19/01/2017 00:32

I've just been catching up on an old edition of I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue. There was an excellent bit where they said "People have been wondering what Melania Trump sees in Donald Trump, but it's very easy. Four billion dollars and a sky-high cholesterol count."

TheMysteriousJackelope · 19/01/2017 03:37

Trump's facial expression in that photo looks appropriate for the 'before' (or possibly 'during') picture if some crazed ad person decided to advertise Ex Lax with 'before' and 'after' photos.

He's also just trademarked the slogan for his next election campaign in 2020 'Keep America Great!'.

That it was used as the slogan for the movie 'The Purge - Election Year' is purely coincidental.

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 19/01/2017 04:06

The wonan in the clip avoiding his kiss is Tiffany?

Spudlet · 19/01/2017 07:00

That's actually one of those tiny pens from Argos.

BigBadgers · 19/01/2017 07:13

He has a whole set of special tiny pens made to fit his tiny hands.

This is absolutely not FAKE NEWS. I did not just make that up. Absolutely true, every word!!! (At least it probably is)

squishysquirmy · 19/01/2017 08:57

If he has been stealing pens from Argos perhaps he could be impeached for that?
Singasong12: If he really wanted to replace Obamacare, am I right in thinking that he would, ironically, find it easier than Obama to push stuff through as he would have to deal with less Republican opposition?

OhYouBadBadKitten · 19/01/2017 09:01

Many republicans don't want to replace Obamacare - they want it scrapped altogether and each person for themselves.

We have a new slogan!!!!! Keep MN Great. With a ! and without a !
Where's our lawyer? Get me our lawyer!

Such a beautiful vacant expression as he composes his beautiful sensual speech. (Possibly with a sharpie) Maybe that's his sensual face?

FarAwayHills · 19/01/2017 09:17

Watched some kids on the news this morning who are taking part in the great ceremony tomorrow. They looked so unenthusiastic and uncomfortable with the whole thing. Not sure I can bare to watch it will be so cringeworthy. But hey it's gonna be a really great day and amazing day.

Roussette · 19/01/2017 09:25

Yes I watched that too. I don't blame them for going, once in a lifetime experience, never been to Washington before etc and I take my hat off to them, they were very diplomatic in their answers when being pushed by the reporter as to whether they would have voted for DT if they had been old enough. Basically.... NO!!!!

(please note, that from now on until the ghastly inaugaration is over, I may be responsible for over use of exclamation marks and caps!!!!)

InformalRoman · 19/01/2017 09:49

This is amusing: Trump said in a TV interview that he doesn't like tweeting. But he tweets on average 10.8 times a day.

Fun fact! Since Election Day, an average of 7.8 minutes pass between tweets when Trump offers a series of threaded thoughts on a single subject.

Must be hard to type on a phone with such tiny fingers.

SaskiaRembrandtWasFramed · 19/01/2017 09:49

While Trump is POTUS all pens will be tiny. Normal sized pens will be banned!!!! And people with hands which are in proportion to their bodies will have to keep their hands in their pockets at all times!!! It will be great! A great America for the tiny handed! And let me tell you, they are beautiful people, great people who who know a lot, mostly about stealing pens from betting shops and buying their gloves in the children's section, but that is great stuff, important stuff that will make America great!!!! Offal.

Spudlet · 19/01/2017 10:00

Argos is a beautiful shop, with great pens, the best most amazing pens. MAKE ARGOS GREAT AGAIN. Falafel!

Looks like his concentrating "doing a poo" face. Which is his normal face because he spouts a lot of shit.

I wonder what thoughts are rattling around that vacuum. Do you think he will run for Pope next?

This is what happens when people like the Beckhams put their kids up as photographers/models/pop stars/Director General... they grow up to think "ya know.... I fancy having a try at being president now - mommy can I pleaaaaaaase??????"

Is there a 'boycot' list yet of things/consumables that the trumpy likes or businesses he/his businesses has endorsed? If rumours are true, I won't be buying Ralph Lauren any time soon.

Lweji · 19/01/2017 10:24

I wonder if the catch phrase from his speech will be:
"Ask not what America can do for you, or what you can do for America, but what can you and America do for me and Russia."

originalmavis · 19/01/2017 10:31

I remember seeing a photograph pf the execution of the Rosenberg's. It really wasn't all that long ago.

So now from deadly enemies, Russia and America are bedfellows?

Lweji · 19/01/2017 10:34

It'd because Putin is such a nice reasonable person.

originalmavis · 19/01/2017 10:39

Not with those eyes. Too teensy and close together...

BigBadgers · 19/01/2017 10:51

Putin is so big and manly and strong...so strong....he rides around half naked on horse's and wrestles bears. How can such an image of perfect masculinity be bad! Trump's going to be just like him when he grows up.

originalmavis · 19/01/2017 10:53

I thought he was a wee squirt?
