As they say in Trump Tower, fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on the Russians.
They lied and published those photos Trump didn't want the American press to have. Who'd have thought?

This time, the Daily Show.

Interesting. It does look like a majority change is needed. Or for GOP to suddenly realise that under Trump they could be wiped out by voters.

I've been away and haven't had time to catch up yet but you are all bigly showboats and grandstanders and YOU'RE FIRED!

....you won the ratings college....

I did actually LOL at that. Smile Well - more of a snort to be fair. Wink

Because 45 is obsessed with the area, you may wish to read:

Trump rally losers

to have one idea what the markets think. Follow the links in the piece as well. Wink

Again, the story that there was collusion between the Russians & Trump campaign was fabricated by Dems as an excuse for losing the election.

That tweet! In other words "My lies and stories change so fast that who could expect my press secretary to keep up with them!"

Across Pretty much. Grin

Jim Roberts Retweeted Donald J. Trump
So basically, we're being told to ignore anything Sean Spicer or Sarah Sanders says from here on, because they can't speak accurately.

bumbleymummy · 12/05/2017 13:07

Well, they can never expect to be accurate when you change your mind so bloody much!

cozietoesie · 12/05/2017 13:08

It's 'breakfast time' tweeting again. Smile

BiglyBadgers · 12/05/2017 13:09

Oh, that last tweet from him is just hilarious. Grin

...Maybe the best thing to do would be to cancel all future "press briefings" and hand out written responses for the sake of accuracy???

Orlantina · 12/05/2017 13:12

Well - considering what his spokespeople say is different to what he says, maybe he should.

In other words, they don't have time to find out what really happened.

cozietoesie · 12/05/2017 13:13

I fully expect him to .....reorganise his press corps just before SNL airs some weekend. (To try to 'spike' them.) The man is obsessed with media coverage and ratings.

The President of the United States proposes a solution to his aides' constant lying that doesn't quite address the issue (which is lying).

Lweji · 12/05/2017 13:15

This conversation about the two ways to get Trump out of office is from a week ago, but it became even more relevant with Comey's misresignation and how the WH is handling it.

However, I doubt the 25th will be used. They are all likely to have their tails caught by the Russian bear trap.

Lweji · 12/05/2017 13:17

He'd love that. But he'd just end up contradicting himself in interviews anyway.

Maybe the best is to report stories without WH input or right to respond.
