I'm hoping he'll do his Inauguration speech as "Sassy" Trump - m.youtube.com/watch?v=OhUvFL62HPk

Sassy Trump is the best!!!! So many great words, Sassy Trump knows all the best words, many people say those words are genius. Thanks Sassy!!!!!!!!!

And he's doing wonders for China. They're advocating now for action on global warming, need for international co operation and globalisation.
And of course he doesn't!

Bikers for Trump coming to th inauguration? Hope they're not doing security.

Donald J. Trump ‏*@realDonaldTrump* 50m50 minutes ago
The same people who did the phony election polls, and were so wrong, are now doing approval rating polls. They are rigged just like before.

Well, the polls weren't wrong. He did lose the popular vote and in the states where he won, the polls were too close to call.

SAD. He just can't deal with disapproval.

Roussette · 17/01/2017 14:12

Yeah they are Informal they're doing a 'bikers wall of meat" for protestors.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 17/01/2017 14:44

Bikers for Trump coming to th inauguration? Hope they're not doing security. Dead zone style?

OhYouBadBadKitten · 17/01/2017 14:44

wheres me bold?

Roussette · 17/01/2017 14:52

Oh my golly good God, he's still tweeting about John Lewis not attending his inaugauration, let it drop man! And look at this picture...

So, John Lewis seems to have missed Bush's Inauguration too because he didn't think he was the legitimate president.
At least he's consistent, even if he forgot that he had missed one Inauguration 16 years ago.
LIAR!!!

Trump tends to "forget" what he said and did 16 days ago.
Oh, ups.

thetemptationofchocolate · 17/01/2017 15:00

I've just looked at who's performing at the inauguration - the only ones I've ever heard of are the Mormon Tabernacle Choir (and one of them is refusing to go).

But it's going to be GREAT!!!!!

Donald J. Trump ‏*@realDonaldTrump* 31m31 minutes ago
With all of the jobs I am bringing back into the U.S. (even before taking office), with all of the new auto plants coming back into our.....country and with the massive cost reductions I have negotiated on military purchases and more, I believe the people are seeing "big stuff."

Anyone else thinks that's because of those little wee declarations by Ivana?

(and he claims JL is lying? Grin)

MrWriter · 17/01/2017 15:05

Wow! I'm so glad I found this, this best thread of all time.

DotForShort · 17/01/2017 15:12

God damn it, I am beyond furious with T-rump for his attacks on John Lewis. Angry If the Orange One knew anything about US history, he would know that John Lewis is a true American hero.

Sorry, the above was not in the spirit of the thread. So back on track: the Chinese are planning to send rain to Washington DC on Friday to disrupt the inauguration. Sad! Wet!

InformalRoman · 17/01/2017 15:12

Well what could go wrong? It's not like history tells us that bikers doing security could in any way end in trouble.

Lweji · 17/01/2017 15:16

The bikers go with the .

Roussette · 17/01/2017 15:19

I'm going to totter about in my elegant pink nylon negligee, wine a the read, cushion ready to throw at telly, expletives on the end of tongue...

Here are the odds for speech length...

Under 10 mins
6/1
10-20 mins
4/6
20-30 mins
2/1
Over 30 mins
12/1

Can't imagine he can last more than 10 minutes.

They've brought in some new ones..
Piers Morgan 100/1
Saturday Night Live 33/1

OhYouBadBadKitten · 17/01/2017 15:44

Me too Rousette, only I'm working. Do you think anyone will notice?

OhYouBadBadKitten · 17/01/2017 15:44

oh excellent! Cloud seeding by China?

Lweji · 17/01/2017 15:46

I think it will last more than 30 min, and that's just the written speech. If he ad libs, then it could go on, and on, and on...

Have we got any odds for speaking of himself in the third person?

Lweji · 17/01/2017 15:46

Cloud seeding by China?

Nah. They just need a butterfly, and Washington will get a tornado.

roseshippy · 17/01/2017 15:54

We have the best children's TV shows, don't we folks?

Roussette · 17/01/2017 16:07

OhYou not a chance, no one will notice, you's will just look elegant. And bootiful. Grin

Here's the lowdown on the day... can't say I've heard of any of them!

I have a beautiful idea.

Donald Trump will shortly become astronaut in chief. Can anyone think of a better ambassador for our planet? Let's send him on the Mars mission. I can't think of a better candidate

SaskiaRembrandtWasFramed · 17/01/2017 16:41

That is a beautiful idea. A great idea. A really, really great idea. It will be softly sensual on Mars. Scrunchy.
