According to his feed:

Tweets by @DanScavino. Tweets by #POTUS signed -DJT.

Mr Scavino is his Director of Social Media but was previously the general manager of his Westchester golf club. Sounds like he has impeccable credentials and a lot of experience in managing high profile Twitter accounts - you couldn't make it up Hmm

I'm just going to start referring to him as Dark Emperor Trump and Darth Pence. That just tickles me. Grin

Could we maybe put Piers Morgan and Dark Emperor Trump in a room together and just deal with whoever survives?

UnGoogleable · 22/01/2017 15:05

My god he's really rattled about the cried numbers isn't he? Anyone else with an ounce of integrity would have ignored it and moved on, used the platform to talk about the real issues, like what he's actually going yo with his presidency.

He's fluffing and floundering because he has no clue how to actually go about doing the job. I mean 'he'll start on Monday'? FFS show some fucking respect to the people who voted for you and get your arse in gear.

As a retired 'bureaucrat' (35 years) I can assure you that the CIA audience was applauding and cheering. They had no choice. I remember many meetings and large conferences when the 'Mucky-mucks' were addressing us and we were told "You will be there, you will smile, you will applaud and look enthusiastic at the appropriate times. You will not offer your honest opinion if the Secretary/Commissioner/High Cockalorum asks for it".

99.99% of the time the person telling us to 'toe the line' felt the exact same way. It's not right, but when your job depends on it, needs must when the devil drives.

GingerIvy · 22/01/2017 15:08

I don't know. If he's created this much chaos when he hasn't even technically started yet, imagine the carnage (whoops!!) he'll bring when he's actually making an effort! Shock

With each passing day, I am more and more reminded of Kim Jong-un. Does anyone know if they are related?

Just imagine if he did a North Korean style approved hairstyles list. The damage to the ozone lair would be horrendous. Not to mention the massive fall in productivity due to everyone spending at least three hours a day backcombing.

Although he's also a bit of this.... without the self-awareness. Grin

I have the best placemarks. Beautiful placemarks and, by the way, I do more placemarks than anyone else. FACT! I've done at least 1 million beautiful Mumsnet placemarks. SCROTUS!

Oh my god, ozone layer. Layer! I am so ashamed right now Blush

MycatsaPirate · 22/01/2017 16:20

Felt sick listening to Boris waffling on about him yesterday as well. I thought Boris was meant to be intelligent? Or are they in the same Hairdo club?

Confess that Dp yesterday, after listening to Trump waffling on about how great he is etc said 'he's quite good at making speeches'. Be assured that DP has been told in no uncertain terms that if he ever comes out with bollocks like that again I will leave him. I am educating him, don't worry.

"There will be no time limit on when the report must be made and third or subsequent children conceived in controlling and coercive relationships will also be exempt, but not if the woman is still living with a partner who could financially benefit from the abuse."

GingerIvy, that's appalling. So cynical to release the news then as well.

A misogynist, a fascist and a conman walked into a bar.

The barman said, "What are you drinking, Mr Trump?"

When is a lie not a lie. When it's an alternative fact.

Well, his son in law is going to bring peace to the Middle East, so bringing in the rest of his family will surely lead to a bright and beautiful future for all.

That's so horrific. The implications are so broad and so unthinkable. What is wrong with this world? It does make me despair.

BigBadgers · 22/01/2017 16:44

'alternative fact' my goodness. That is just amazing. I'm going to start using that at work. :o
