Donald Trump, the first week is BAD. What next? Come all ye Beautifuls!

[Roussette]

Here we are!

And the new Vanity Fair mag for Mexico is all about Melania. It's not going over well. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/jan/27/melania-trump-vanity-fair-mexico-cover-backlash?CMP=share_btn_tw

I am so looking forward to his next press conference with just him and the press.

VP Mike Pence got $229,400 from Oil/gas industry for his US House campaigns

He picks fox news every time and still can't manage to utter a sensible reply.

Aw, fuck. Pence is a knob. That's it. THIS is what he said in his talk today.

VP Mike Pence:“Condoms are very, very poor protection” against STDs

The whole thing here - it's abysmal. www.buzzfeed.com/andrewkaczynski/mike-pence-in-2002-condoms-are-a-very-very-poor-protection-a?utm_term=.rw07opMMvn#.puQ54WqqA7

Wow just watching the press conference now. His tactic to not answer difficult questions is to challenge the validity of the question itself.I don't think I've ever seen that before. Is this the same as gaslighting or is there another term for it?

Yeah - it's very Charles Durning. It's annoying. Gaslighting? More avoidance, really.

Okay. Here's my prediction.

Trump and Pence will go on about the MILLIONS of women and families there for the March for Life today. Now, every media report I've seen so far has said thousands, and compared it to the millions that did the women's march.

THIS will be Trump's new alternative fact that the media are reporting incorrectly, I'll bet. And it will make him revisit the inauguration again.

His tactic to not answer difficult questions is to challenge the validity of the question itself.

I wonder what May thought when Trump told her that the Mexico question was none of her business?

I started a new thread about how the MSM is reporting Trump, as I feel the traditional 'impartiality' is both inappropriate and insufficient to the real danger Trump poses to the world right now..Feel free to comment...

Well, it's not the thumbs up. But it's tomorrow's front page

What do people make of the hand hold? Who's leading who? Who initiated it? What does it say

Oh dear and now the EU are saying that Theresa May's meeting with Trump could affect Brexit negotiations negatively...

The handholding is grim. If he wouldn't hold hands with a male PM, he should keep his tiny sweaty paws off TM.

the hand hold
Trumps hand looks awkwardly positioned, I think she has the upper hand, of course there will be a velvet glove on the iron fist, she's going to subtlety mentor him.
he was everso slightly presidential in that press conference, compared to past performances

Okay. Forget Trump!! Forget May!! Much more bigly news afoot!

Bake off news!!! www.buzzfeed.com/andrewkaczynski/mike-pence-in-2002-condoms-are-a-very-very-poor-protection-a?utm_term=.rw07opMMvn#.puQ54WqqA7

I know. Poor Trump. Bumped for bake off.

well, piss. Wrong link. Try that again.

Last time I checked, bake off had lots of double entendres (sp?) but no condoms!!!

It looks like she's leading and he's trying to escape. Like a 5 year old.

And the truth is that Colin Powell had an opportunity here to reaffirm this president’s commitment to abstinence as the best choice for our young people, and he chose not to do that in the first instance" SAD.

Yes, he had the opportunity and he chose not to. Because it's crap advice.

I hope Pence has assigned a huge budget to STD treatment.

I thought it looked quite sweet and gentlemanly

No, Lweji - that would be all the stuff they've been axing - cutting off funding for Planned Parenthood and such.

do you think she packed dettol to scrub in for this occasion?

Maybe she felt him grabbing her hand was preferable to anything else he might grab......

sweet and gentlemanly?
I don't even know where to start with that!

Think she would've had more to fear with Bill
