Just keep in mind, a LOT of us (the majority) voted against him (a 3 MILLION vote margin) and many of us hate his guts. ---

Yeah, I know I saw at least one Muslim yesterday in downtown Busan, South Korea. Not a peep from the press. How is it that with the daily revelations of his incompetence and, for want of a better word, insanity, not to mention the damage he is doing to America, Trump still has supporters? ---

Good question…I eagerly look forward to some polling. (Or “fake news”, as Dear Leader calls it.) It’s not scientific, but interesting: reading the article about his comments today on the media, and (the good part) the online comments following: I had to scroll waaaay deep to get to anyone who was coming to Donald’s defense. Normally, his trolls would be all over anything critical; this time, they seem to be at a loss for words. ---

President Donald Trump’s executive directive to restrict or postpone new government regulations for 60 days[has hampered the ability of the Federal Aviation Administration to issue safety orders](http://money.cnn.com/2017/02/06/news/companies/trump-faa-air-safety/index.html)about aircraft. > [@](#): > > The lack of directives from the FAA are a sign of the unintended consequences of the Trump administration’s rapid efforts to halt or roll back what it sees as burdensome regulations on business, says one of the officials. Ahhhh, fuck it. Those regulations on aircraft safety are just getting in the way of businesses making more money, AmIRight? Get rid of these pesky regulations altogether, I say! Who gives a shit about “unintended consequences”. Full speed ahead, and don’t bother with planning or thinking! ---

> [@Monty](#): > > How is it that with the daily revelations of his incompetence and, for want of a better word, insanity, not to mention the damage he is doing to America, Trump still has supporters? Judging from listening to my dad? Because he’s not Obama or Clinton. Also he likes “straightforward” foreign policy (in the sense of “blow up anybody who looks at you funny”). But mostly the former. ---

> [@SteveG1](#): > > I’m still wondering how much of an asshole you have to be, to get Britain, Australia, and Canada mad at you … mind boggling. Yep. And the best part of the news from the UK is Mister Speaker actually used the word _hugely_ in his statement explaining why he would not permit Trump to enter the House of Commons. ---
