The link was already on the thread but...

The State Department’s entire senior management team just resigned

No matter how many times I read it I can't believe it.

Nobody is going to take advantage of our country anymore.

We will be repealing and replacing Obamacare. It's a disaster. (bollocks - it needs tweaking, but parts of it are invaluable)

GingerIvy · 26/01/2017 18:33

he's just droning on about everything he's done.

Roussette · 26/01/2017 18:33

Yes, spudlet I'm bracing myself here. "Obamacare will explode like a big explosion*. He is so succinct and has such a command of language. Not

Bold tax reform that massively reduces tax for middle class and all businesses.

brag brag - I've done brilliantly for American industry and businesses

Get people off welfare and back to work. It's out of control.

Infrastructure is in serious trouble - new roads, highways, tunnels. We have to fix what we have. (they won't have any money after they pay for that wall anyway)

We will rebuild our military and take care of our veterans.

Clean beautiful coal - we're going to put our coal miners back to work. Shock

GingerIvy · 26/01/2017 18:37

Too many families don't feel secure. 30 largest cities - increased murder rate.

bets on immigration being tied to this?? He sure as fuck isn't talking about gun control.

GingerIvy · 26/01/2017 18:40

we have so many different people that we are putting in office - all stars that nobody has seen before. (not because everyone else quit, oh no.... )

protecting americans from radical islamic terrorism

we need to keep the ballot box safe from illegal voting. take a look at what's registering.

originalmavis · 26/01/2017 18:40

Whose keeping the spreadsheet of promises, pronouncements, rants, attacks and insults? Just so we can keep tabs on the wild ramblings and backpedaling. I really can't keep up.

He is like DS when he was little and would have several conversations all going at once and speak really quickly. I would have to say 'woa! One at a time and remember that I am not in your head do have no idea what you are talking about'.

Roussette · 26/01/2017 18:40

He really is deluded. He's going to put all the coal miners back to work. An empty promise. Impossible.

Now Chicago... he is gurning.

I'm just so glad he is the worst orator I've ever heard. At least it means people aren't mesmerised by his words. That would be impossible.

lean efficient government
appointing supreme court justices who will uphold the constitution
fair trade with level playing field which we don't have now
fostering respect for our country and our flag

GingerIvy · 26/01/2017 18:42

Okay about 30-40 second applause, so if he says 5 minutes, he's lying.

Roussette · 26/01/2017 18:42

Hahahaha.... the journalist now talking about what he's said... she has said that I'm sure the Republicans there have heard this all before and they would've liked some detail on all his promises. Sums it up!

It was a TITTER of applause. No cheering, nothing. Just polite applause. Bit like what you do when you've been to a bloody awful play you fell asleep watching.

I can be Trump, just so long as I scare everyone enough so that they don't ask any tricky questions (such as 'how?'):

  • I am going to make us great again
  • Tax cuts
  • Bad guys will be taken down
  • Old ladies won't get mugged
  • There will be no illness
  • Everyone will have a job, 2 cars, retire at 45
  • All nasty people will be thrown over The Wall
  • Everyone is receive one gold plated genuine personally passed turd

Voter fraud? @khanoisseur tweeting that: (So far) Bannon, Mnuchin, Priebus, Kushner, Tiffany Trump are registered to vote in two locations.

Oops.

GingerIvy · 26/01/2017 18:50

59% of Trump voters think his inaugural crowd was > than the #womensmarch, 38% think the women were paid to march.

www.salon.com/2017/01/26/trumps-proof-of-voter-fraud-is-an-anecdote-from-a-golfer-who-may-have-committed-voter-fraud-himself/

Apparently this is one of the reasons that Trump believes in voter fraud.

originalmavis · 26/01/2017 18:53

Ahhh, they are conspiracy theorists! That explains a lot.

I believe that 99% of people at the inauguration were there purely in the hope that one way or another, he wouldn't be sworn in. FACT!!!!!

BigBadgers · 26/01/2017 18:54

Thanks you guys for following that speech for us. You did a great and noble thing (I don't think I could take it).

I'm going to reread handmaid's tale now ginger. Fucking twats. They really haven't a clue Angry

SanFranBear · 26/01/2017 18:56

FFS - I'm out for two hours running DC to swimming and Brownies and the doomsday clock is closer to midnight than ever before, the whole state department resigns, the Mexican president cancels his meeting and he continues to be a sore winner with too many bumholes!

This is just... I don't know what but it is unbelievable! Will catch up on things now but I'm honestly sat here like Shock and trying not to remember it has been LESS THAN A WEEK since he took office!!!

merrymouse · 26/01/2017 18:56

John Mcain says Trump can't change the law on torture by himself, so maybe May thinks it's all talk and won't come to anything?

papayasareyum · 26/01/2017 18:56

I bet the Queen will have another heavy cold when Trump comes to visit. If she's got any sense.
