He's trying to recover the situation.

I didn't realise that two more CEOs had resigned prior to 45's disbanding of the Councils.

Latest tweet from Trump Hmm

Sad to see the history and culture of our great country being ripped apart with the removal of our beautiful statues and monuments. You.....

ludothedog · 17/08/2017 14:35

Unfortunately I don't think that Trump has the emotional intelligence to understand that he has made a moral equivalency. He just does not understand that he has, which is very worrying. You cannot change something that you do not understand. Shocking.

Lweji · 17/08/2017 14:38

Not only a moral equivalency but also with something made up by him.

It's as if the Allies were just as bad as the Nazis. Because they also used weapons to stop the Nazis. Why didn't they just respect their rights?

All will be fine if they replace the statues with images of the Donald.

The only thing that DT cares about is that he wins. That's it. And he will always win. He tweets all this crap and we all stand aghast - he wins as we are all focused on him. If we all agreed to stop paying attention to his tweets - he would hold a press conference to announce that he has won as he has single handedly proved the uselessness of twitter and brought it low. He cannot and will not lose. Full stop.

Can I just say that I dislike the immediate reaction to Hope Hicks' promotion being that she must have slept her way there. She may have modelled in the past but I understand she has a few years' relevant experience.

The Economist article linked by Inigo earlier today is spot on. So is this Tweet thread analysis of Trump.

Catch-up if you missed this superb analysis of the awfulness of Trump

cozietoesie · 17/08/2017 14:46

Thanks, NorthWest.

LukeCagesWife · 17/08/2017 14:46

Just wanted to say thank you for the links - the Vice doc is horrifying and created tears, the sobbing neo-nazi bought laughter, the Mexican condom bought a smirk and Smokey (fired on day off - brilliant film) bought a chuckle while the Economist bought open mouthed admiration - they really did go in!

I am surprised however that 4 out of 5 Republican voters still support Trump especially as his approval is hovering around low 30s?

cricketballs · 17/08/2017 15:15

the worst tweet today is from earlier "The public is learning (even more so) how dishonest the Fake News is. They totally misrepresent what I say about hate, bigotry etc. Shame!"

nearly every reply was pointing out that all the media did was to broadcast his press conference

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 17/08/2017 15:31

That was a brilliant tweet thread north

Wow according to this article, Steve Bannon used to live like this!

Dunce here - how do you read a "tweet thread"?

sheeela · 17/08/2017 15:59

!!!

Quite some article, InigoTaran!

Roussette · 17/08/2017 16:01

Rhodiolia you don't have to be on Twitter to read a tweet thread. I used to read loads on there before I registered

For instance, if you click on NorthWest's link you will see 'David Roberts' has tweeted with a 1. by his tweet meaning it is part of more. If you click on that particular tweet, the other 19 will come up! And it is really good reading and sums up the nightmare that is Trump

Roussette · 17/08/2017 16:06

inigo Shock

Mind you, I always managed Bannon was an alcoholic, no one can have a conk that colour red without having indulged in something

Goodness me. Sounds like someone was into a little bit more than just a few late night whiskies!

squoosh · 17/08/2017 16:17

He always looks like he’s just come off a massive bender and would reek of sweat and booze.

Roussette · 17/08/2017 16:18

Yes, he's an ugly fucker squoosh

"I am Spartacus"

Where's there's Spartacus, there's hope.

Let's hope Nero doesn't burn Rome, though.

Oh, we made a joke on the beach today.

DS asked how could he swim like Trump.

Answer: to sink fast like a stone.

(ok, not strictly swimming...)
