There are loads of other threads. But MN aren't highlighting them. Why not? I demand to know.

The official @POTUS account retweeted @realDonaldTrump 's attack on @Nordstrom. So is berating a store now official US government policy?

Now, you could almost ALMOST understand it on his Trump account but tweeting it again on the official POTUS account!?!

From Trump's tweet complaining about Ivanka's line being dropped:
She is a great person -- always pushing me to do the right thing!

Why would she even need to?!

amispartacus · 08/02/2017 17:13

Remember he doesn't tweet about everything. Like attacks in Quebec. But a minor attack in Paris. I feel for his spokespeople. He totally undoes their spinning efforts.

GingerIvy · 08/02/2017 17:14

She's clearly a bit of a slacker in that as well, considering what he's been up to lately. Hmm

I have three bathrobes. None nicked from hotels either!

I have one fluffy polka dot bathrobe and another cotton floral one passed down from my mum from the early 80s (older than me). If only I could tweet thatGrin

Trump team wants to make Iran’s state troops a terrorist group ind.pn/2kNDNrf

MyVisionsComeFromSoup · 08/02/2017 17:34

We've just switched a US holiday this summer to elsewhere, as a direct result of what Trump's been doing. Not that it's going to to make any difference (holiday co is US owned) , but at least I'm not saying that just because I'd have no issues at border control, it doesn't matter about anyone else.

Thanks for posting all the tweets from everywhere btw, no way would I be able to keep up myself

BiglyBadgers · 08/02/2017 17:34

That article on the reduction in the number of unaccompanied child refugees we are now going to accept is truly shocking. We had said 3000 and are now saying 350. That is not just a slight reduction in numbers this is completely going back on a promise that was made in parliament. What the fuck. I am really angry about this. I can feel another letter coming on. Angry

originalbiglymavis · 08/02/2017 17:35

You're fucking kidding me? What's his beef with Iran? Human rights and politics is no more odious there than in many other parts of the ME.

I assume they've taken the piss one too many times about his hair, face, wife, hands...

Wow! He really wants a war with Iran doesn't he?

originalbiglymavis · 08/02/2017 17:39

Someone now has to explain to DS why he won't be fulfilling his plans to study at MIT.

So fucking glad we didn't decide to visit family in the states this year. We wouldn't get through customs anyway at this rate (and if we did I suspect mooning the president's photo at the airport would be a no-no).

And as for handing over your social media passwords - Mumsnet and the half a dozen (technical) work related Twitter feeds won't exactly queer my pitch I suspect.

amispartacus · 08/02/2017 17:40

You know what's going to happen - people will simply dig out and retweet ALL the fake news stories he's got involved in.

BiglyBadgers · 08/02/2017 17:41

I work in an IT related field. I don't hand over my passwords to anyone. There is no reason at all for them to have the passwords, they could just do a search or request access to your feeds.

originalbiglymavis · 08/02/2017 17:45

I never remember mine anyway but hey, if they want to read up on very very very technical engineering hoojamaflips, then be my guest I say!

merrymouse · 08/02/2017 17:47

So today, half way through week 3, the official POTUS account has retweeted Trump attacking an American company and promoting his daughter's business; and his wife is suing the mail because of lost FLOTUS money making opportunities?

Surely this must be a cry for help? He can't be that bad?

And more or less said that he can stop whoever he likes coming into the states. Him, not the government, him.

I suspect he has an 'enemies of the Donald' list that he keeps in his picked and pulls out in a sinister manner whenever anyone ticks him off and says 'you're going on my list!'. Or like Father Ted when he uses the golden cleric award speech to settle petty scores.

Look, barring wiping his shitty arse on 'ol glory, he can do no wrong in the eyes of his mad bugger followers.

And even if he did they see it with their own eyes, they either wouldn't believe it, or be told that it was actually Hilary that did it (and believe that).
