The Trump Administration: A Clusterfuck in the Making

At least until the power went to our heads.

You can’t ban a Senator!

Clearly WE should be running the show

Wasn’t there a Simpsons already about this? I don’t recall it ending well then either…

Good holy God… we’ve* been saying that around here from Day One of this so-called administration! Deny him the audience, don’t engage, don’t wind him up, don’t give him the satisfaction, don’t play HIS GAME. IOW treat him the way we treat SDMB trolls. The narcissist craves attention. Do not give it to him. Make his head explode.

Maybe we can get Paul Anka to sing a jingle to remind everyone.

Only three-quarters of Trump supporters definitely plan to vote for him in 2020

At the top, the new NPR-PBS NewsHour-Marist poll isn’t great news for President Trump’s reelection prospects.

The pollsters asked Americans if they planned to vote for Trump’s reelection in 2020, and only 30 percent of respondents said they definitely planned to. More worrisome for the president: 57 percent said they definitely wouldn’t back his candidacy.

…

What’s much more important is the discrepancy marked with the outlined box above. Trump got 46 percent of the independent vote in 2016 to Clinton’s 42 percent. Now, 62 percent of independents already say that they won’t vote for him.

…

So now we come to the coup de grace. Among Trump supporters, only about three-quarters say they will definitely vote for him. Nearly 20 percent of his supporters say they’re unsure if they’ll back him, about the same as the percentage of Republicans who say that.

Bolding mine, italics theirs.

Those four-and-a-half minutes would be a golden age, though.

One of the polls Cohen was supposed to rig was a Drudge Report poll.

Drudge isn’t happy with this news.

(Link goes to a tweet and not to Drudge as Drudge changes headlines constantly. Link contains screenshot of current (yes, I checked) Drudge front page).

I, for one, welcome our new dope overlords.

I’m not sure where to put this, but I had to share. Apologies if it’s been posted elsewhere.

Stolen from Facebook:

Trump is so far up Putin’s ass that he can see Sarah Palin’s house.

LOL, Trump responds to Pelosi’s move with one of his own. Like everything Individual-1 does, it’s pathetic, small, and can’t be implemented:

*Well, I have, anyway. :dubious:

This. And quit reporting every goddamn thing he tweets! I’d love for the media to start saying “The President had no comment” if his only comment is on Twitter.

You’ll be able to read all of his tweets at the Donald Trump Presidential Library.

@Dag_Otto

I predict Rudy will soon be saying “I never said Donald Trump didn’t collude with the Russians. I said the President of the United States didn’t collude with the Russians.”

Or - How long before he says collusion with the Russians is a good thing?

Does the wanna-be dictator honestly think that he can ban overseas travel by his political opponents?

I know he wants to be like his heros Putin and Lil Kim, but has anyone actually told him this was an idiotic idea?

[JohnT]

He told her she can’t take a military flight into a war zone, instead to fly commercial.

What’s really funny is the WH team spent 24 hours thinking of a response to a 78 year-old and the best they could come up with was taking a 7,000 mile trip off her schedule.

Also Pelosi can (and should) now blame Trump for publicizing the previously secret trip. Now that the secret is out, it won’t be safe for her to fly commercial. We all remember Trump made a war zone trip just a few weeks ago in complete secret.

Can I just remark that paying $50k to game an online poll is possibly the dumbest waste of money I’ve ever heard of?
