TL;DR

Basically just “butt-hurt safe space kids getting triggered over a tweet instead of learning anything useful, such as foreign affairs, economics, and diplomatic issues between the US and Russia”.

Is there a limit on how many people I can put on ignore here?

You really have a problem with safe space, don’t you?

It’s okay – the safe spaces can’t hurt you here. Whatever those bad safe spaces did to you in the past, they won’t bother you here.

Just go to a happy place. Perhaps you enjoy honey?

Maybe Trump is the one who should be “learning anything useful, such as foreign affairs, economics, and diplomatic issues between the US and Russia”. It might just be me, but I feel that this is intrinsic to his new job.

Naw, he has the best brain and words, and the yuuugest hands!

Although, I think that saying you “have the best brains and words” is a good example of why people say he talks on a 4th grade level. I’m now curious to know what is the longest/having the most syllables word he’s used. He makes GWB sound like Daniel Webster.

If he’s not a progressive, that automatically makes him more qualified than anyone who is. Especially what with the criminal allegations against Clinton, and the best dirt people are digging up on Trump is just whining over Tweets, lol.

And you make Daniel Webster sound like Urban Dictionary, the way you abuse prose. lol

Trump took to twitter to attack GM this morning.

GM responded, pointing out his lies.

Actually, some of the best “dirt” is Trump himself admitting he sexually assaults women.

And that my friends is exactly why he prefers to enact policy over twitter. With only 140 characters it is impossible to state anything of substance unambiguously. So he can send out a tweet like this, have all his alt-right fans cream their shorts over the idea of federal troops marching through the streets of Chicago rounding up “thugs”, but when confronted about it can say that he was just proposing federal funding for law enforcement and training.

Trump is taking credit for the excellent album sales for a singer set to perform at the inauguration:

- 

Jackie Evancho’s album sales have skyrocketed after announcing her Inauguration performance. Some people just don’t understand the “Movement”\*

It’s amazing how her **Christmas**  **album** sales skyrocketed at Christmas. And I’m not sure selling 5000 more albums counts as “skyrocketing” anyway.

I understand “movement”. Soon as I finish my first cup of morning coffee, I embody the concept.

The woman who gave up any hope of popularity when she agreed to perform at the minority president elect’s inauguration.

He stiffed the “Freedom Kids” for their last performance, so they’re not interested.

She’s a 16-year old singer from Pittsburgh. And all she’s performing, per wiki, is the National Anthem.

To be fair, at age 16, she’s done pretty well. I had never heard of her, I had to google her name, but apparently, others have, what with a platinum and gold album and three Billboard 200 top 10 debuts. (I assume that’s good anyway[I only have a gold and 1 billboard 200 top 10 debut. ☹] )

It will be interesting to see how this affects her career going forward, and whether Trump feels the need to ride her coattails if she does well, or is willing to take the blame if she does not.

I assume the former, I doubt the latter, and I also don’t know that her interaction with trump will be highly positive or negative long term anyway.
