Nope, that never happened, and if you talk about it anymore, Trump is going to tweet about you personally, and then you’ll have to deal with the anonymous death threats from his lunatic supporters.
Makes me wonder if Trump will have his minions scouring message boards like this one to find out who is saying tacky things about him. If that happens, I’m screwed! Mayberry will be too hot to hold me! :eek:
A long long time ago, I got some threats. I gave the moron clear directions on how to get to my place, and what time I would be “available”. Decades later, I’m still waiting.
*The violin music swells, and we see a corridor of venerable oak trees shading a lane that leads to a big white house… is it Washington? No, it’s the Old South. Gentlemen in wide-brimmed hats astride mighty steeds, demure belles in hoop skirts and bonnets, happy darkies singing in the fields as they pick cotton… ah, don’t you wish you could have lived back in those good ol’ days? Well, you just might get the chance!
It seems Boeing is pretty worried about how bad the Orange monster will screw up our relations with China. Trump thinks we’re in the drivers seat. Boeing thinks Trump is wrong. It all has to do with the 20% of Boeing’s output that China buys.
*…One-quarter of the nearly 500 Boeing 737 jets delivered in 2015 went to Chinese airlines, serving a fast-growing middle class that’s as large as the entire U.S. population. The market is worth a trillion dollars over the next 20 years.
Everyday, Boeing’s factories are filled with colorful jets for Chinese airlines that Americans won’t recognize: Xiamen, 9 air, Donghai, Ruili, Hainan, Hebei, Shandong and Shenzhen…*
Imagine China getting pissed off and sends those orders to Airbus. How many jobs will that Trumponomics cost us? Yes, that threat is real, and those who think it isn’t should seek treatment for their nearsightedness.
Trump thinks his practice of going in over his head and then declaring bankruptcy when it doesn’t work, will work on the global level. Trump is clearly a moron.
I can’t stop seeing Trump as this gigantic orange chicken that’s come home to roost on the practices, policies, and propaganda disseminated by the Republicans/far right etc for the past 20 years or more.
If it wasn’t so damned depressing I’d be happy to say “you wanted it, you got it”
"Reports by @CNN that I will be working on The Apprentice during my Presidency, even part time, are rediculous & untrue [sic] – FAKE NEWS!”
He’s calling it “fake news” that he is going to work on The Apprentice in his spare time despite the fact that his senior advisor said, exactly that when asked about his role as producer on the show:
"I mean, presidents have a right to do things in their spare time or their leisure time. I mean, nobody objects to that.”
Trump has great potential to be much worse than Nixon. Nixon may not have been likeable, but no one really knew what a rat bastard he was at first. We know what filth Trump is right from the starting gate. That’s why most voters did not vote for him.
I do wonder aloud if Trump did plan this to discredit CNN. I have to say also that IMHO CNN and many other outlets need to stop ASAP with the idea that Trump deserves to be treated fairly; it is the obligation of the media to stop with the false equivalence and report hard and loud what an incompetent we got as president, that is, unless corporate media does like to be seen as the incompetent one.
Except they–or rather, the radical right wing that has taken over the Republican party–has actually gotten what they want. Look forward to more restrictive laws on abortion and availability of contraception, denial of climate change and an expansion of drilling and hydraulic fractioning for petroleum versus investment in developing renewable and synthetic energy sources, eviceraton of educational standards and the ability to teach non-science like creationism as “an alternative” to science, reconstituting the Supreme Court with heavily conservative justices who will take a “strict” (e.g. non-progressive) reading of Constitutional law, and removal of protections if not outright persecution of disfavored minorities. Trump has shown the radical right that they can have everything they want if they are just audacioiusly upfront about it and appeal to bigotry and fear. And this is a lesson that will persist long after Trump is playing his golden harp.
Whatever Trump and his administration does in the next few years is nothing compared to the longer term impact on politics and governance in this country. The presidency has been allowed to become a powerful position by fiat, and we’ve largely depended on the fundamental decency and benevolence of a president not to be a raging asshole. Even with the worst of presidents in the modern era there was a need to be seen as being even-tempered and judicious in the exercise of power, but Trump has violated these preconceptions even before he has taken office. He is literally a man-baby with no sense of decorum or responsibility, and has set a new standard for what is acceptable in the behavior of a presidential candidate, and it is hard to see how we can ever fully unlearn that ‘lesson’ even after Trump goes away as a figure.
But Trump is now seriously considering Exxon Mobil CEO Rex Tillerson for the post. :eek:
