All things reality with Trump, maybe not so beautiful now!

Here we are!

You're the greatest political analyst, sensei. Truly a sensei.

The most stupid. HUGELY.

Well... as he paid $50 through casting agencies for actors to turn up and cheer (proven) at different points on his campaign trail, of course, he will want supporters sat in on everything. He's such a wanker, he needs the adulation.

Ginger love that FB link.

That DeVos education woman is amazing isn't she... how can anyone keep a rictus grin on their face whilst they're absolutely brickin' it, god alone knows.

Trump is stupid not Mumsnetters.

Does anyone remember what Trump's views are on abortion?

I know what Pence and Ryan's are. They want it banned. They'll settle for banning it after 6 weeks. I presume that Trump is along the same lines. (he's never actually really SPOKEN about issues, so it's hard to tell)

ultimate goal of Pence - overturn Roe v Wade.

That indeed may be Pence's goal but I think that there is more chance of Trump becoming a Buddhist monk than Roe v Wade being overturned.

I presume that Trump is along the same lines

His Press Secretary might have a different recollection - he has made his views perfectly clear.

Sky News now

How many people are unemployed?

They are trying to define a starting point. He can't define the number.

He's not focused on statistics

Love that Ginger

Trump has ditched TTP, yes, but I suspect he'll be replacing it with something worse (in terms of environmental protection, food safety etc).

former yes, he's surrounded by sycophants. I wish I was a psychiatrist, I'd love to see the workings of his inner network.

On abortion, I understand that he's changed his mind from being pro choice to saying that women who have abortions should be punished, to back-pedalling from that but not going back to being pro choice.

Wow. The press secretary is rather... um... aggressive. Very much "we're allowed to make mistakes, deal with it..". Someone that doesn't like being questioned shouldn't be in that job.

What channel are you watching him on, Ivy?

This still pisses me off. www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/donald-trump-abortion-rights-executive-order_uk_58863bbfe4b0208540990e96?

Blurbs of it on twitter Mort

Well, amispartacus, he's just reinstated the Global Gag Rule . Which I know was to be expected under a Republican president (instituted under RR, repealed by BC, reinstated by GWB, repealed again by BO). But still, it sets the precedent as to how his cabal of corrupt millionares administration / cabinet views women.

Love the non answer on the crowd.

And the CIA audience

Hello all you wonderful people. I've found my spiritual home with this thread. It's a truly wonderful thread. Can't be beaten anywhere. Best thread. Together we can make mumsnet great again!

Exactly Kittens. If men were the ones that got pregnant, there'd be a planned parenthood on every fucking corner.

I particularly like the Bond villain and Hubris links. The Betsy / ghost writer / abortion links are less funny. They and similar actions (Alternative facts?!) are terrifying. It's so awful.

I'm hoping tax returns / major scandal may make his fan club wake up. Anti elite?! Really - a 70 white male billionaire is the elite you idiots! And look at who he's appointed. E.g. Someone with $200 million retirement share options!

Trump is demoralised about negative press. Apparently the media should be positive.
