He’s already backtracked on that one. Sort of.

Of course he is. Anything that supports his narcissism becomes true in his universe. And to all the weakling snowflakes who voted for him, because they couldn’t stomach the thought that anyone who wasn’t a straight, white, cisgender, American-born, conservative Christian man might, maybe, not be below them.

You know what Native Americans like? A good Pocahontas joke! Especially when the subject has nothing to do with the event. What a tool.

Not to mention that all of the published pictures of these Native American veterans at the White House event are posed in front of a giant portrait of Andrew Jackson.

I think we could merge this pissed-off thread, and the butt-hurt-Twitter thread…remove all the references to Trump’s horrendous policy decisions,and to the Mueller investigation, and just focus on all the bizarre ways he fails totally at the simplest human interaction.

I have to disagree. His assholery works to distract us from the genuine harm his administration is inflicting on this nation, such as:

> [@](#):

> …while President Donald Trump has struggled to sign landmark legislation in his first year, his most enduring legacy could be in the federal judiciary. Court watchers of all persuasions say he has rebuffed procedural customs and is on track to fill dozens of lifetime slots where judges have a daily hand in determining sentences, fines and remedies for misconduct, retaliation and environmental threats and deciding who may seek help in the nation’s courts.

> Given the number of vacancies and the clear path before him, Trump has the potential to pack the courts and flip the balance for the judiciary from liberal to conservative, observers say.

I’m not saying there’s not entertainment value in the buffoon’s buffoonery. But we should also remember the damage and destruction that his antics cover up.

Yeah, this. We all cheer a little whenever a judge blocks one of Trump’s orders, but picture the situation a few years down the line, when that can’t be relied on anymore— when the courts are packed with strapping young Roy Moores and Trump 2.0 can go hog wild without that pesky Constitution getting in the way.

Not sure where to post this, but this thread seems like a good place…

Why is it that, for example, after one accusation of sexual misconduct, Matt Lauer was FIRED (I’m not questioning the veracity of the accusation, just noting that there was one, so far, and his bosses acted promptly) but we have all seen video of Thump bragging about grabbing women’s genitals and he is still President?

Why is it that in the past few weeks, several men have been accused of sexual misconduct and have pretty much immediately [del]fallen[/del] \*\*plummeted \*\*from grace, but Thump said on video that women love it when he grabs them, and he is still President?

Men who were loved and respected by the public (Al Franken, Charlie Rose, Kevin Spacey) have seen their reputations instantly shredded, but Thump is still President?

What makes him bulletproof (possibly a poor choice of words) on this topic?
