I feel v sorry for his younger kids. The 2 wild game hunting older sons are just as bad as Trumper, and sorry to say so is Ivanka. But the young lad Barron, I feel very sorry for, imagine having to live his life with a Dad who probably doesn't bother with him and he will be forever known now. Likewise Tiffany.

Chelsea Clinton said some nice words on Twitter about letting him be a kid or something

What millions thought after watching the #TrumpPressConference

GingerIvy · 16/02/2017 21:50

Roussette Yes, I feel sorry for them too. And Melania a bit - regardless of what she expected, anyone that has to deal with him at home 1 to 1 on a daily basis has my sympathy.

SleepWhatSleep1 · 16/02/2017 21:52

The insistence that his version of reality is correct, despite evidence to the contrary, actually reminds me of trying to argue with me 3yo. Except a lot more scary. Eventually you just agree they are right because you know you're not going to win.
Do you think the people surrounding him have taken that position? Confused

I am genuinely scared about what the future holds.

I felt sorry for the young son at the Inauguration.
He looked so overwhelmed and so young (who wouldn't?)
Pretty spiteful to move away from the 23 year old girl too.
She doesn't have fleas. She just has a nightmare parent. Poor lass.
I wouldn't swap with either of them.

Did anyone ever watch Apprentice USA? I just wonder whether he spoke in the same way on that programme? Or if it's possible to compare the way he spoke then to the way he speaks now.

I couldn't watch live so thank you for posting all the info - it's simply horrifying - it's still hard to believe it's actually real.

I wake up every day in Australia, read this thread and just walk about saying Good God. Do you think they will ever let him speak at a pressconf again?

klassy · 16/02/2017 22:08

He sounds like random predictive texting gone wrong.

SanFranBear · 16/02/2017 22:11

I trundle off to do DC things see he'll be hosting a press conference I'm about half an hour... come back to pages of utter madness!

WTF is going on? Am off to read the transcript - and weep silently into my cuppa.

CussingQuim · 16/02/2017 22:13

bage

I enjoyed that show Sad

He did yell a lot on it....its almost as if he didnt know he had a mic

cozietoesie · 16/02/2017 22:16

I've just spoken to my Dbro who did, in fact, watch the presser. He's stopped calling me 'Cassandra'. (He always did have a rather .......tenuous grip on the finer points of Greek fable. Grin)

cozietoesie · 16/02/2017 22:18

Anyway - his reaction was 'Just bizarre. Bizarre.'

PseudoBadger · 16/02/2017 22:19

I think he might be MN favourite Gabby Logon (remember them?)

He didn't speak that much then. And apparently it was heavily edited.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 16/02/2017 22:27

We need a new thread!

Lweji · 16/02/2017 22:27

On the Huff link about the Yemen raid:

"It also later transpired the President had not even been in the situation room when it took place but was instead in the residential area of the White House."

And this after he criticised Hillary for wherever she was during the Benghazi attack?

Hypocritical twat.

cozietoesie · 16/02/2017 22:29

He needed the privacy to Tweet, Lweji! Grin

What will the next Thread Title be???

Lweji · 16/02/2017 22:30

Maybe he was taking a long leak. Grin
