There was a press conference. It was interesting.

Yes Across it's very scary. It's not a buffoon just blundering along, it's manipulation of the POTUS by 'bad men'

Roussette · 18/02/2017 21:30

usernumbers what I'm watching so far is bloody scary... what the hell is he going to unleash on poor unsuspecting idiots... the music is enough, not sure I've got the stomach for it

DT will be loving this. His followers. All with MAGA hats on. All prepared to lap up every word and adore him

I can't watch it. Life may be too short.

I just came across this on Ravelry, which crafty members of this thread may know as an (or indeed THE) online knitting/crochet site. It's a pattern for an 'illusion scarf' which is described as looking like 'innocuous stripes from the front, but says FUCK TRUMP when viewed from an angle....If you can knit and purl, cast on and bind off you can knit this scarf. In the true spirit of the Trump administration, this has not been test knit. Sad!'

I'm tempted. Very tempted.

Bernie Sanders ‏*@SenSanders* 22m
In Trump's view people should ignore all the news except what comes directly from him. That is what totalitarianism is all about.

Trump family "security" costs total over $11milion in the first month, compared to $12million for Obama's first year!

But Cozie if you don't watch it - how will you know what REALLY happens??

amispartacus · 18/02/2017 21:40

Just saying that it seems certain visitors to recent threads haven't reappeared.

Hope they're ok.

I'll watch it, as long as I can stomach it. I already feel a bit ill just watching all those people in there. But I won't be typing out his speech - let's face it- we all know exactly what he's going to say.

He complain about the fake media and how they won't cover this. He'll berate Hilary, and waffle on about what a great win he had. They'll cheer like the mindless drones they are.

And the rest of us will despair.

cozietoesie · 18/02/2017 21:42

Which reminds me. I hope that Across and hers are all safe and dry. It seems to be pretty bad across there.

Lifegavemelemons · 18/02/2017 21:43

Wow - just browsed through news channels to see what was happening - FOX news having a balanced and CRITICAL discussion about Trump A

  • showing images of the protestors as well as supporters in the bane of "balance" ... gob smacked!

I've just told my 12 year old that Trump was holding a rally for his Presidential campaign.
He said he was stupid. Why? Because he is already President.
I think we should campaign for Barron to move to the White House. At 10 he's probably more sensible than most adults around him.

CussingQuim · 18/02/2017 21:45

The live comments on that stream are insane. Trolls I'm guessing?

Same music they used in Get Smart at the end, with a ditzy president barely saved from terrorists.

amispartacus · 18/02/2017 21:46

How do you report news though? Who gets to define news?

It is a fascinating subject. There was the Munich meeting today - the news could have focused on Pence and what he said. Or McCain. or the Russians. All news - but different perspectives. How much weight do you give to a POV?

And nobody can ask Trump what he's going to do about it, because he won't advertise his "secret" plans ahead of time.

Except apparently to people hanging out in the bar at Mar-a-Lago.

Lweji · 18/02/2017 21:48

I wonder if the Chinese awarded him the trademark to land him in trouble.

Payback can come in many forms.

AndHoldTheBun · 18/02/2017 21:48

Here's a different take on Trumps behaviour. Purely speculative of course.

Except apparently to people hanging out in the bar at Mar-a-Lago.

You're being too kind in assuming he actually had or concocted a plan there.

Lweji · 18/02/2017 21:53

Regarding syphilis, his doctor stated that all test results had been positive, which, normally, is bad news.
So, maybe, yes.

cozietoesie · 18/02/2017 21:53

Ouch, Lweji.

Roussette · 18/02/2017 21:55

brillig beautiful bigly scarf!

Across was on no time ago wasn't she?

Dare I click on the livestream after drinking wine. Warning alert in The Rous Household. Language will be bigly bad!
