I wonder who this alleged 'ally' was ? Smile

Reuters report

I don't mind if he tweets, to be honest. He makes such a dog's breakfast of his personal posts.......

illegitimateMortificadospawn · 16/05/2017 13:20

OMFG! Has no-one ever shared the concept of "when you're in a hole, stop digging" with this man?

TheClaws · 16/05/2017 13:22

And the irony hurts in this one. Although I'm not sure he sees it.

I have been asking Director Comey & others, from the beginning of my administration, to find the LEAKERS in the intelligence community.....

Not in those precise words, illegitimate. Grin

But Yes - I imagine his remaining people have said something along those lines many times. Wink

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 16/05/2017 13:25

Oh wow, that is ironic! Did anyone see the NY Post front cover? Will try to find it.

WH/NSC spokesman Mike Anton emphatically denies that Pres Trump's tweets today confirm disclosure of classified material to Russia.

Sleep tight, Claws. Smile

cozietoesie · 16/05/2017 13:30

Has he commented on 45's use of the 'L' word? Smile

Donald Trump sending people out to lie and deny for him, only to throw them under the bus hours later. Again.

They'll remember. 45 doesn't have a monopoly on that. Smile

It's going well for the whole administration

Gumpendorf · 16/05/2017 13:51

I thought they may have taken his phone away but obviously not.

I can see no way this can continue into 2018 without a major realignment of world powers. Which of its allies will be able to trust the US with any intel after this? The US is aligning with Russia. That's Russia who interfered with its democratic process. It's hard to know where we go from here.

cozietoesie · 16/05/2017 13:54

It is, actually.

cozietoesie · 16/05/2017 13:57

I suspect that it's critically dependent on who or what follows 45, and in what circumstances.

Sleipnirthewonderhorse · 16/05/2017 13:57

Trump still seems to be midtweet 40 mins after tweeting the first part. Do you think it's taking him that long to arrange his thoughts, or perhaps someone has wrestled him to the ground and is currently trying to grab his phone out of his tiny hands?

hackmum · 16/05/2017 14:02

Surely, surely, there will come a point when he has pissed off and alienated every single member of his support staff? And at that point, what's going to happen? Surely there must be some kind of resistance? Surely elected Republicans aren't so spineless they will let him stay in power, giving away state secrets and putting the security of the country at risk?

Surely?

cozietoesie · 16/05/2017 14:15

That's what I was referring to last night, hack. I think that many of them at least realise that the GOP's days are numbered so they're playing for broke now.

cozietoesie · 16/05/2017 14:17

I'd plump for it being 'wrestled off him' - AKA they 'distracted' him - Sleipnir.

I saw a depressing piece on telly some evenings ago, Pain. There were people who had now got jobs in an area where jobs had been in short supply for some time. Unfortunately, those jobs were largely related to shifting coal. They couldn't have given a toss about 'greater responsibilities' etc.
