As the armada appears in waters nowhere near where it was said to be, Trump blusters on in his usual dignified, courtly manner. Easter weekend had us worried about nuclear strikes; DT put a fair bit of work into his golf swing. Business as usual! Carry on, everyone!

I'd say not. I think that everything is just......febrile right now.

cozietoesie · 21/04/2017 02:27

Sorry. That was a response to Across.

Thanks Claws, I fear you are right.

Australia is hoping that Pence is the sane one. He arrives today. Poor old Sydney will be in lockdown.

Cozie, the 'febrile' part of your response fit just fine to the NK situation too Smile

Saffron, I'm in Australia too, and i haven't quite figured Pence out yet. Do you know if there are any protests?

Haven't seen any. There is a March for science on tomorrow.

I'm in two minds about Wikileaks.
Regardless, I suspect they'll become the much needed Russian - election scapegoat.

@kurteichenwald
Trump has launched an investigation of China dumping cheap steel on USA. You know, the same steel he's been buying.

Poll: Trump ends first 100 days with lowest approval rating of any president in history of poll (link: hill.cm/dDszCbZ) hill.cm/dDszCbZ

This is new ones about a Judge due to rule on a man deported. However, it is the same judge that DT ranted on about as he ruled on a case to do with Trump University.

The interview is fascinating... it took place before he was elected so he was even freer with his racism than he is now. In years to come we will be looking back at interviews with Trump aghast that this man got to the WH....

@LOLGOP
Trump voters say 53/20 that Obama played more golf in his first 100 days than Trump did. Obama didn't play once.

Oh God. It's still real. I was hoping I'd dreamt it all. Oh well, another day on mad world.

Lweji · 21/04/2017 07:43

You know, the same steel he's been buying.

But that's just him being the business genius that he is. Same as manufacturing in China, not paying taxes, using bankruptcy to become richer, not paying suppliers, creating a fake university.

Roussette · 21/04/2017 07:56

Yeah... it's all about hoodwinking the system and making a quick buck. Trouble is, he's supposed to not be a businessman now, but the POTUS. Lines are blurred...

I see he's talking about a meeting with the Pope when he goes to Italy next month. Trouble is, the Vatican hasn't confirmed, so if it doesn't happen, will be be dissing the Pope on twitter?!

GingerIvy · 21/04/2017 07:57

Roussette Wow. I hadn't seen that video. He is clearly unhinged.

Roussette · 21/04/2017 07:59

Why don't you annoy Canada whilst you're at it... that orange fluffball does not understand Economics does he... he just hits out

I know Ginger ! If we needed reminding, there it is in all its glory... a ranting racist

GingerIvy · 21/04/2017 08:08

It's actually very "william shatner" - that style of talking in brief spurts like that. And "I'm building a wall" over and over...with mouth agape. It's just mind boggling.
