I agree with you Across. I think he would run as an independent. If he does, and this is just pure speculation, I think the Republican party may permanently split.

So an American National party or something like that.

cozietoesie · 06/08/2017 14:25

Or word to that effect. Wink

cozietoesie · 06/08/2017 14:25

Sorry. words

So Sports Illustrated have tweeted this... with a video of Trump this morning on the golf course greeting what looks to be a bride, and him wandering over asking "Are my staff treating you well here?" Damn. I thought he was POTUS, not the CEO of golf clubs. And all this after tweeting this morning that he was not on vacation but in meetings and on calls...

This group ran into President Trump himself at Trump National Golf Club in New Jersey

'my staff' ??

Roussette · 06/08/2017 14:44

Here;s another vid of it, not the one I watched with 'my staff; on it.

Trump looking very fat rotund.

Have you ever noticed how SS guys can wear what on other people would be vacation clothes but they still look like uniform? Those guys are 'crisp'. Grin

Roussette · 06/08/2017 16:13

I just wish someone who bumped into him like that would shout "you'are a fat orange idiot and you should RESIGN!!!"

But sadly, if you frequent a Trump resort, or hold a wedding reception there, you're probably a fan.

My ex-NDN posted pictures of her and her DH at Trump Vegas and how great it was. Yuk

Poor GOP: It's a bit like trying to decide whether to jump overboard when the ship is sinking or to stay put in the hope that, by some miracle it keeps afloat.

Stay too long and you might just go down with the ship.

Apparently the Bride was overheard saying "He's not as orange as I thought" or words to that effect.

Is that what you'd expect someone to say after meeting the POTUS??? I thought not.

I could easily see him go completely Game of Thrones style insane ruler and rain fire and brimstone...See that's what really scares me Bossy. That once he realizes he's going to be a one-termer that he'll do everything he can to tear this country up, just like a tantrumming toddler would destroy another child's toy after being told to give it back. Even without the backing of the GOP, he's got enough shady business 'friends' feeding at his trough and the ability to sign EOs. He may not be able to change our society or 'norms', but he could wreak havoc on our economy via EOs aimed at deregulation.

Yes, the next POTUS will clean it up, but at what cost to us?

cozietoesie · 06/08/2017 17:00

Even when he 'won', I don't think he really thought beyond Inauguration Day. Sad

cozietoesie · 06/08/2017 17:35

Deval Patrick? I don't know much about him. Smile

AcrossthePond55 · 06/08/2017 18:31

Thought beyond it, cozie? He probably definitely can't even spell it!

cozietoesie · 06/08/2017 18:53

Unfortunately, Yes. Wink

cozietoesie · 06/08/2017 18:56

At the moment, I'm only expecting (reasonably high quality) stalking horses, though.

Anniegetyourgun · 06/08/2017 19:00

The Cabinet attend Bible classes where Trump is a biblical hero, WTAF!!

Well, hopefully he'll soon end up rather similarly to Jesus, i.e. nailed.

Roussette · 06/08/2017 19:35

Hahaha love that Across !!

Just read this in an article... so it means if Trump is feeling a bit touchy about his lack of brainpower, he just decides to ban, or block or announce something. Because he's bored. Because his ego won't allow him to say he doesn't understand. You couldn't make it up could you..

"We already knew that Donald Trump's new ban against transgendered troops in our nation's military came as a surprise to military leaders. Now we're learning that the impetus for the sudden policy change was considerably more crude than even detractors suspected.

The short version? Politico reports that Donald Trump announced a ban on transgendered military members because he was frustrated with the government's lawyers trying to explain the implications of such policies to him

Apparently, however, it was these discussions themselves that set Trump off. Too dim or hotheaded to grasp the nuances of the issue and too impatient to tolerate substantive explanations of it with others, he instead lashed out with his new, most simplistic "policy" banning transgendered service members apparently as an attempt to stop his own staff from asking him further questions on it.

But Trump appears to have believed that by simply issuing his Twitter decree, the decision would magically become legal and enforceable and keep him from having to make further decisions on it. And he did it because he was tired of his own advisers and experts attempting to ask him and warn him about the various nuances of the original “issue.”.

He really is a loose cannon understatement there

AcrossthePond55 · 06/08/2017 20:01

That doesn't surprise me one bit Roussette

And here's another 'just when you think you've heard it all'

Lol at "he's not as orange as I thought." Perhaps he will just die of a heart attack or something. He is very overweight, isn't he?

cozietoesie · 06/08/2017 20:09

Those conversations almost defy belief, Across.

Lucky11111 · 06/08/2017 20:11

Does anyone follow @LouiseMensch on twitter?

Only the stuff she has found out about trump - if true - is sensational ...😳

cozietoesie · 06/08/2017 20:13

No. I don't. Smile

badbadhusky · 06/08/2017 20:17

I don't follow Mensch, but if I am honest, the only thing that would surprise me about Trump now would be to learn that he was an intelligent, principled and decent person. Everything else is up for grabs.

7Days · 06/08/2017 20:18

She has been proved correct on many occasions. But I still don't know what to make of her.

cozietoesie · 06/08/2017 20:19

You were watching the squirrels, bad? Grin
