I hope you are right about both of them Across.

cozietoesie · 21/09/2017 21:37

Ah Yes. The attempted 'Thomas Becket Defence'. He might well try it. Grin

lionheart · 21/09/2017 21:52

People will remember. Grin

Mueller, I reckon he remembers stuff.

'But of the 42 résumés POLITICO reviewed, 22 cited Trump campaign experience. And based on their résumés, some of those appointees appear to lack credentials, such as a college degree, required to qualify for higher government salaries.'

I do hope that 45 studies his history.

Hatred of the Press.

cozietoesie · 21/09/2017 22:42

It almost reminds me of Howard Hughes, lion. (You'll recall his alleged arrivals in out of the way places and his alleged gifts in his will to people he allegedly met there.)

cozietoesie · 21/09/2017 22:58

I'm sure that Mr Mueller does remember stuff. I hope so, anyway, because that piece is interesting not least in the information that might be said to only have come from Mueller and his people. Which is zero.

Memory is better than documentation. Smile

lionheart · 21/09/2017 23:02

Trump has the germ phobia thing too. Allegedly. Smile

Fekko · 21/09/2017 23:03

He's a big germ himself.

Can his approval rating really have risen because of his response to the hurricane and all those kittens he rescued? Hmm

cozietoesie · 21/09/2017 23:21

People really want someone they can look up to, lion. Someone to 'protect' them. So Yes. I fear it can.

cozietoesie · 21/09/2017 23:57

Ask Across about how the Average Joe views The President. I fear that it's huge.

lionheart · 22/09/2017 00:04

His friend is at it again. NYC. (Thread with film)

  1. Yet again, Erdogan's security detail beats up American protesters. It appears he has given the orders directly
cozietoesie · 22/09/2017 00:10

I was going to say that he doesn't understand international relations, but actually it's more basic than that. He doesn't understand people. (I'll grant you that he may be OK on what constitutes a decent French Fry.)

cozietoesie · 22/09/2017 00:11

.....from his own perspective of course. Grin

lionheart · 22/09/2017 00:51

As ever.

TheClaws · 22/09/2017 03:01

Perhaps that's another symptom of dementia, Cozie and Lion? My mum couldn't read people's faces either, so she couldn't interpret any emotion on my face except anger, happiness or extreme sadness. Anything else - irritation, embarrassment, confusion, awkwardness, etc. - was beyond her. She also had an inability to empathise. If she wanted something, she wanted it NOW. If I was upset about something, she would turn to conversation to herself.

Maybe Trump is just a narcissist. I'm hoping his family is looking after him.

How does the average American view Scrotus? A picture is worth a thousand words.
