he believes he is gifted and special...that he has a magical and unique ability to appraise situations intuitively then shoot from the hip and get the best result

he is hubris made flesh

TheClaws · 16/02/2017 03:41

So, a rally is almost...vulgar, if that's the word. It will be interesting to see what funds are used to run it. That is, if anyone gets to see the figures/where they came from.

Thou shalt not have healthcare declared Trump triumphantly from his pedestal:

The Trump administration just laid out some big changes to Obamacare

I can't do web links Sad

The man who can afford personally to build and staff a hospital tells the minions, you want healthcare, I offer you the Trump plan. To qualify you must toil the earth for 60 hours a week, otherwise you won't be able to afford even the basic of care. Look at the UK and how well their Obamacare is working. People lay on stretchers in corridors. To abate this, you shall only go to the hospital should an EMT be concerned that you have succumbed to either heart issues or possible clotting of the blood. Otherwise you shall sit at home and recouperate, grit those teeth through the agonising pain. We are Americans, we are strong and mighty. Plus I did forewarn that I'd dismantle Obamacare, so you the people spoke unto me and I delivered.

For ever your saviour, my sons training to be saviours after me.

The Trump Dynasty

2017-End of the World

blueskyinmarch · 16/02/2017 07:25

The rally on Saturday should be interesting. From what I can see on Twitter people are booking tickets and not planning to go or booking tickets and planning to go and demonstrate against SCROTUS. We need to keep a close eye on that I think.

Roussette · 16/02/2017 07:27

How long till the Orange one starts tweeting about the delay in confirming appointments by the Dems in the Senate. Yet Obama had to wait till end April for final confirmation of all of his, the Reps blocked it all, the longest wait since the 70s apparently.

PBarbie has gone very quiet since her twitter was errrrmmm... 'hacked'. She does bring something to the party in a carcrash way. I read an article yesterday (can't find it now...) where she'd said that one of the ways she communicates with The Orange One is via interviews with cable news channels because she knows he watches them. Shock.

Apparently there was a SNL sketch with a parody of her... must find that to watch, modelled on Glenn Close from Fatal Attraction Grin

GingerIvy · 16/02/2017 07:31

Chaffetz is demanding the intelligence department is investigated re the leaks instead of Trump. He is useless. Party over country, that's the GOP.

saffronwblue · 16/02/2017 07:42

He is having a rally because he doesn't like being president and misses the campaign. Like a very bridezilla bride who doesn't much enjoy actual marriage but keeps having wedding reunions, replays etc.

Roussette · 16/02/2017 07:48

God yes saffron, he has to have the adulation. Wouldn't you think he had better things to do, like build a wall, sort out healthcare etc etc. When the chips are down he has to do this to make Trump great again, I think he probably hates the job but loves the power and adoring crowds.

He's going to land in Air Force One in front of the cheering crowds. Apparently.

illegitimateMortificadospawn · 16/02/2017 07:51

Yeah, it much sounds like his ego is not getting enough strokes in the job. The rally is crass in the extreme. He needs to show he is actually capable of doing the job.

TheNorthWestPawsage · 16/02/2017 07:53

Keep up the great work peeps! Totally agree that all he wanted was to be able to see his name with President infront if it. I don't think he actually gives a monkey's about Israel or Palestine etc. Or has ever really thought about any of it.
These bigly amazing threads should be published as a historical tome of his rise and (hopefully) fall - FACT!

This is why Yemen refugees were "temporarily" banned and Saudis still allowed in.

At least five killed and dozens wounded in Saudi-led airstrike on Yemen funeral

Clearly, Yemenis are dangerous.
And the US authority to condemn this? None.

I see that people are buying Breitbart Internet addresses around the word, as they plan tI expand.

merrymouse · 16/02/2017 08:13

I think the rally is also a power play to remind the GOP why Trump is president.

Many republicans must be concerned about Trump's Russian connections and the risk of appearing guilty by association. Others probably think that Trump is on the back foot and should now be brought to heal.

However, while Trump still has a strong fan base, what can they do?

merrymouse · 16/02/2017 08:15

(heel!!!)

MarmotMorning · 16/02/2017 08:16

The Nazis liked a good rally too

Lweji Does that mean resistance people are buying the addresses, or the other side?

MsHooliesCardigan · 16/02/2017 08:48

What is this rally supposed to be for? Or is it just an opportunity for him to get lots of adulation? He hasn't even been in office for a month, why does he need a fucking rally?
And does this mean another 6 months of arguing about how many people were there?
I agree that he has no interest in the reality of being President, he just likes coming up with slogans like Make America Great Again and Lock Her Up. He has the attention span of a gnat and no interest in detail which you really need in politics. He's like men who just enjoy the thrill of the chase and the honeymoon phase of a new relationship. As soon as the mad passionate part wears off, they lose interest very quickly and start looking for the next bit of excitement.

Roussette · 16/02/2017 09:05

And does this mean another 6 months of arguing about how many people were there?
Grin Yep! At least it keeps him away from EOs perhaps.

If you are interested in the issues around the possible election hacking and government putting backdoors in encryption software this article is an interesting read. It is an interview with a few of the biggest names in cryptography. One line particularly stood out to me: Rivest calls for 100% paper ballots which can be readily recounted and verified.

Basically if we want secure elections we should resist the urge to make them electronic. Bits of paper will always be harder to fake and commit fraud with.

BiglyBadgers · 16/02/2017 09:09

I wonder whose idea the rally was? Maybe Pence and Bannon are trying to set him off on a tour in the hope it will keep him out of trouble for a while.

FarAwayHills · 16/02/2017 09:10

Who needs a rally a few weeks after taking office. It's like he wants to give people the opportunity to see and adore him as the great emperor. Next will be great military parades with tanks, weapons and crazy marching.

Let's just hope the rally backfires spectacularly.

fuckingwall · 16/02/2017 09:16

POTUS landing in airforce one in front of 'his' crowds sounds like an episode of Family Guy.

MsHooliesCardigan · 16/02/2017 09:17

Can you imagine Theresa May just deciding to hold a random rally and parading down Whitehall on a carnival float followed by a marching band? Mind you, I don't think anything would surprise me these days.

BiglyBadgers · 16/02/2017 09:18

A letter to the NYT from the guy who wrote the diagnostic definition of narcissistic personality disorder. In summary, being a world class cunt is not a mental illness and diagnosing him as mentally ill is cruel to people suffering from an actual mental illness. It's a good letter and I think he is right Grin
