Oh for fucks sake! How stupid are these R legislators? Or maybe they just really, really hate women and aren't shy about letting everyone know.

Trump really doesn't understand the concept of 'commander in chief' does he?

Isn't blaming your subordinates generally frowned upon?

So we all know that trump watches fox and tweets. This guy has matched up the news story to the tweet. It it pretty amazing!

Am sure you'll all be shocked to hear Trump's planning another trip to Florida this weekend:

www.postonpolitics.blog.palmbeachpost.com/2017/02/27/trump-may-visit-orlando-palm-beach-on-friday/

The airspace - and, er, seaspace? - restrictions are really full on. How ticked off would you be if your flight was delayed/diverted/otherwise messed with or you found yourself stuck out at sea because of the objectionable orange ooze?!

And this utter arse complained that Obama went away too much - he had 29 holidays in his 8 years, which totalled 228 days (part-days are counted as full days of holiday in this count). By contrast George W. Bush spent a total of 879 days of his Presidency on his hols.

Trump is going to outstrip Obama easily. I reckon even if he doesn't complete his first term, he might manage more holiday than Obama did in 8 years. What. An. Arse.

I've just finished watching the Fox and Friends interview.

There was the "we're becoming one party, but I love the two party system", and an "A+ for results but C for message, because people keep saying there are no results", to enjoy,

But I loved the part where he took them around the White House and they asked him if he gets lost Grin, then as they entered (by surprise!) the First Lady's office, they asked him what room that was. His response: the room where the First Lady is. Doh!
"Hello First Lady"

I think they were mocking him later when one mentioned his separate business, that his sons are running. They sounded tremendously sarcastic.

Oh nice one, BiglyBadgers.

Now it would be interesting do a similar analysis of all his remaining tweets and utterances, and work out who he's parroting in those.

Eg I wonder who this (linked above) came from:

Asked about the recent wave of anti-Semitic attacks and threats across the nation, President Trump on Tuesday told a group of state attorneys general that "sometimes it's the reverse," Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro said of Trump’s comments in his and other officials' meeting with the president.

"He just said, 'Sometimes it's the reverse, to make people — or to make others — look bad,' and he used the word 'reverse' I would say two to three times in his comments," Shapiro said... "I really don't know what he means, or why he said that”.

m.facebook.com/notes/buzzfeed-news/trump-says-sometimes-its-the-reverse-when-asked-about-anti-semitic-threats-and-a/1422820731072274

Some of his utterances are slightly opaque, and you feel like you missed the beginning of the conversation.

And I bet that's literally true; we really are hearing part of a conversation he's just had, parrot-style.

Like the weird phrasing of that tweet about sanctions:
Great move on delay (by V. Putin) – I always knew he was very smart!

Delay of what? Definitely a soundbite from a larger conversation, which 45 doesn't have the braincells to quarantine from what he utters to the public.

Ah, I've just remembered, the bit that really annoyed me about the Fox&Friends interview was how he is now saying that Obama did expel many immigrants, but it wasn't focused on criminals, which he is doing now.

Obama was focused on the bloody criminals, FGS.

Lweji · 28/02/2017 20:39

Wow, how low can he get?
“He just said, ‘Sometimes it’s the reverse, to make people — or to make others — look bad,’"

Although, considering his penchant for conspiracy theories, I'm not totally surprised.

Has anyone suggested that people causing trouble at his rallies were, you know, the reverse, to make Democrats look bad?

cozietoesie · 28/02/2017 20:45

He may not - 'may not' - have come up with the idea himself, Lweji. (About the 'reverse'.) it could be Ol' Bloodshot Eyes trying to keep him happy and focussed. Wink

Lweji · 28/02/2017 20:57

Actually, it sounds like something he'd do and expect others to do too.
