It's official. There has never been a POTUS as --vile-- unpopular as Trump. Sad! Trump cont.

On the Ramblas was it?

Yes.

I don't know about the legitimacy or
provenance of the poll

67% of Republicans approve of Trump's response to Charlottesville Attack. In other words, 67% think Nazis and KKK are "Fine People."

I guess it depends which response. The real one or the one that the big ol' meanies made him do.

Yes indeed. The 'trick' with surveys of any description is asking the right question(s).

It's still concerning, though.

I'm very much hoping that Kelly or Mattis have had a quiet word with the guys carrying the 'football'.

Someone has created a bot which shows you Trump's Twitter feed! Had a quick look but found it too depressing...

Cleveland Clinic has held an annual gala at Mar-a-Lago since 2011. They just cut ties with Trump & pulled the event.

Good.

That will hit him where it hurts

Exactly what I just said to DH.

I was thinking the Indian diplomat's remarks about Ivanka will also be enraging Trump, as it often seems like he sees her as an extension of him.

The United States condemns the terror attack in Barcelona, Spain, and will do whatever is necessary to help. Be tough & strong, we love you!

He got that tweet out much quicker than the Charlottesville tweet.

But that was always going to happen.

It is definitely not Trump tweeting. It sounds something Ivanka would say.

Maybe they've tranquillised him?

inigo that is extremely depressing. It's @trumps_feed if anyone wants a nosey

Yep, Scrotus is quick enough to condemn terrorism when it's not committed by white people. He won't even utter the word when it's White Supremacists.

Oh God this is like something from The Handmaid's Tale, women having to take out insurance to get an abortion in the event of rape??

A Beast piece.

Conspiracy theorist has security clearance

Him writing that tweet or not, it has been posted.

I should think Spain has had more than enough of fascists, and probably won't want his "help".

OK maybe I'm nitpicking but I find this...
"Be tough & strong, we love you!"
totally crass and inappropriate. Being tough and strong only hours after the event is pretty hard and he doesn't give a fig for Spain. And also he uses exclamation marks so randomly, it's awful. If he wasn't in such shit at the moment, he'd be using twitter for political advantage and forcing his agenda about immigrants

Study what General Pershing of the United States did to terrorists when caught. There was no more Radical Islamic Terror for 35 years!

Trump first referenced the false story about Pershing at a campaign rally in South Carolina in 2016

Trump recounts Pershing urban legend, seemingly endorsing mass executions t.co/DfZdV1F7Sj?amp=1

What he's quoting is a total urban myth. He is ignorant. But bearing in mind he's never read a book in his life, it's hardly surprising

He knows exactly what he is doing. His wording is calculated to have all rational, moral human beings going "but, but, but".
It doesn't matter if things aren't true. What he doesn't/hasn't said doesn't matter. He is communicating directly to his base and sticking two fingers at the rest of us.
I hate him. I hate him for exploiting terror attacks for his own gain. He is a disgusting person.
