The one where Trump just can't stop being Trump

[TheClaws]

Time for a new 'un.

Old thread here: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/2958743-Its-too-hot-for-high-drama-but-nonetheless-we-persist-Trump-cont

And Godammit on the Maddow piece!

The thing is that Trump also has to deliver on more than the things that simply satisfy the twisted ideology of the extreme right.

How far will the hatred take you when that doesn't happen?

I think that is one reason why the Trumpcare bill is so crucial (setting aside that it is about life or death)--it means that many, many people will have something taken from them and some of those will be of his base. Others will be the non-partisans who switch allegiances from one election to another.

The FUBAR factor will eventually matter to all but a few.

Ivanka sitting in for her father at a G20 meeting shouldn't really shock me, but fucking hell it does! They really are shitting all over democracy.

America would have imploded if (in an alternate America where Clinton won the election) Chelsea Clinton had done the same.

Un-fucking-believable!

I'll be back shortly. My boss is at a conference next week and I'll send him a brief text suggesting his daughter take the client meeting instead of me. Granted, she's only five, but she's about as qualified as Ivanka in proportion to the fathers' respective jobs. I'm also reasonably certain that she's never quoted MLK in order to make a point about the oppressive nature of bed-time.

Your daughter would seem to be MORE qualified than Ivanka to represent the US at the G20.

I wonder why Donnie wasn't up to attending. He does seem out of his depth, so it's hard to know whether he's not up to it (fatigued, sundowning, rabid) or whether his minders have corralled him in his hotel room to keep him out of trouble. Troubling times.

I think it's absolutely appalling that Ivanka sits in on a meeting. She isn't elected, she knows nothing except false tits, overpriced fashion, paying $40 a week to workers in chinese factory making her shoes, and is a waste of space because she's indoctrinated.

Merkel has a very nice niece and next time she has to go off for a meeting at a Summit, nice niece is going to roll up and sit in her chair for something to do.

Thought she didn't do politics. Hope they don't let her speak. Utterly outrageous but wonder why they couldn't just exclude her. Surely the seat is for the leader of the country and if they can't be arsed leave it empty.

Just when you think that Scrotus can't make us look any more ridiculous!! What the fuck next? He'll have Barron 'sit in for him' on an intel briefing?

It does make me wonder (hope?) about his health, mental and otherwise. IIRC he missed some events when he was in Europe before, didn't he, because he was 'too tired'? Is that code for 'his meds aren't working right' or 'he's to fucking out of shape'? Maybe it's code for "he doesn't know what the fuck he's doing".

Apparently he wasn't there because he was meeting with some other leader.

I hae enjoyed the body language experts talking of Pootin and Trump and manspreading, handshakes, looking at each other, dominance, servility etc etc.

Just seen this on Twitter

That's funny.

This pciks up an earlier point about personality and politics with regard to Corbyn and some sections of his support.

If the left is so "outraged" about Ivanka sitting in for a few minutes, maybe they'd be happier if I sub in for a while??? LMK 🇺🇸 #MAGA

Also, how has trump not crumpled under the lead armour I assume he wears to remain so impervious to irony:

President Trump praises daughter Ivanka at G-20 Summit: "If she weren't my daughter, it would be so much easier for her"

I don't understand that Donald Trump Jnr meme tweet.

I'm glad you said that, Beryl. I'm not fluent in Emoji. Can anyone help?

Interesting Beast piece on CNN.

Thank you for that piece on the continuation of Gamergate techniques by the far right, cozie. Very interesting.
