Well, if it’s any consolation, things didn’t turn out so well for Caligula in the end.
Nor for Rome, eventually.
Hey, once you’ve fallen off the cliff already, you might as well enjoy the view on the way down.
Given what tends to happen when he tries to do his job, I’d call that a “feature.”
I thought there’d be all kinds of shit flung a Trump for his disgraceful tweets about the terror attack in London and the mayor’s response. He’s apparently doubling down today after getting criticism for his first go 'round. The president of the United States in a twitter fit with the mayor of London. Has it been 4 years yet???
Sure, but the Secret Service is annoyingly un-Praetorian-like.
Fortunately, we have other options, like elections, impeachment, yada, yada, yada. Who knew impeachment would be so difficult? 
He never backs down and he never apologizes.
But if he were to apologize… no one would apologize better than he would!
Even the Wall Street Journal slammed him today:
and
(The quotes are from here on Huff Post. WARNING: autoplay video at the link. I would’ve linked to the WSJ but the editorial is behind a pay wall.)
In all seriousness, do the people around him not think this is a horrible idea, or is he just going against their advice?
I’m pretty confident that every single person around Trump (with the possible exception of Mr. Rumply (Bannon) knows that this is an epic bad idea, and it is going to be a massive fuck-up.
So yes, he’s going to go ahead and do it.
I am at a loss as to why any person would still be working for a Trump administration in any capacity.
They will have to purge it from their resume, lest they be asked at a future job interview:
“So I see you worked for Trump while he was president. What are you, a fucking moron? There’s the door.”
I dunno, there might be jobs where experience working under Trump would be considered an asset.
Cleaning monkey cages, for example…
A question for the lawyers on the board: how would you respond if your client told you he planned to post live online commentary to ongoing testimony during an investigation which he might become involved in?
I’m a lawyer. I read that four major law firms refused to represent Trump in relation to the upcoming investigation.
That.
Well, to be fair, that was mainly because they were pretty sure he would stiff them once he got the bill.
You know that he would claim that the free publicity that they got was sufficient payment, and his supporters would think that’s just fine.
And because he wouldn’t follow advice. It was the two-parter that did it.
You can imagine a law firm taking a high profile trial without guaranteed payment (stop laughing) for the lift to their reputation. Add a lunatic as a client with a global twitter platform and all bets are off, however.
I doubt that concern about payment was the real reason.
