Everything Loser Donald does is a display of dominance. This is a man who goes so far as to claim the president of France “loves holding my hand” because his narcissism won’t let him admit Macron has a firmer handshake than he does.
Yeah I agree. He’d make damn sure he had three too, though.
Why would you presume that he has advisors or, supposing he does have them, that he would deign to listen to them. Anyway, the stupid s.o.b. doesn’t even know what citizenship, good or bad, is.
You are correct about who is to blame. If the scoutmasters don’t explain to their scouts how inappropriate the sppech was and why, then BSA would also bear blame.
When American Muslims get numbers tattooed on their arms and are forced to wear crescents on their clothing, will you change your mind? Or when he and Putin change the nation’s name to “American SSR” will that do it? Or when you see The World War Started Because Of A Tweet That Hurt Donald’s Feelings? How about declaration of martial law? Concentration camps for homosexuals? Cancellation of elections? When your retinas burn out after seeing a nuclear blast, will your last thoughts on this earth be “but…but…but… Hillary’s emails”? All those things are possible and unless we remove this aggressive cancer from the Oval Office, some are perhaps inevitable.
Bullshit. He’s trying to assert alpha male domination. I’m surprised he doesn’t piss on the Resolute Desk in order to mark his territory. The point he wants to make is “I’m the most important person in the room and you’re not”. If you had a birthday party as a kid, what would your mother say if you told her to make sure you had the biggest piece of cake? She’d probably say that you’re the host and you need to treat the others at least as well as you treat yourself. Apparently Donald had poor parenting or this is one more example that rules do not apply to him.
Embarrassing for Trump, if disturbingly normal. Not really embarrassing for the BSA, other than a “Oh God, what did he do now?” response. Definitely not worth the anger I’ve seen from some people towards the BSA, and I suspect are generally people who want any excuse to bash National or the entire organization.
Do you think Trump will push for this legislation during his first term or when he has more flexibility in his second?
He would probably just call them fat.
But if someone asked for 3 scoops it would stick in his craw and he would remember. Then it would come out in a Twitter storm-“Fat Greedy Chris Christie pigged out on my ice cream - SAD and disloyal”.
And he’d probably send Chris the bill.
All of this personalizing arguments is straddling the line next to Being a Jerk land. Knock it off.

He’ll do it when there is no Congress to pass legislation and is the dictator for life.
Because it’s a discussion board.
“Perhaps inevitable” sounds like an oxymoron. But yeah, sure IF any of those things happen I’ll stand up on my chair, put my hand over my heart and say I swear Trump is a big meanie.
:rolleyes:
Yeah, you really believe that.
HurricaneDitka, did you even read the “two scoops” story? The policy isn’t “Trump likes ice cream, and so he gets two scoops”. That would be such a non-story that it probably wouldn’t even show up on a slow news day, even with a Trump-obsessed media. The policy is “Trump gets two scoops, and everyone else gets one”. Unless you’re going to assert that nobody else who’s ever attended a White House dinner has ever asked for a second scoop, yes, that is exactly a puerile dominance game.
Interesting. So will he convince Congress to banish itself or will he and a group of military leaders just seize control? First term or second?
And I largely agree that President Trump lacks a certain sense of decorum and propriety that I wish he didn’t. If, someday, the chips are down and the moment comes where lives are on the line and the outcome hinges on the oratorical skills of our President, I don’t like our odds either.
Yes, I read it, and I’m going to assert that the reporter writing the story hasn’t been at every White House dinner and therefore wouldn’t know if, aside from Trump, anyone has ever asked for or received two scoops of ice cream.
I’m sure those rounding up Muslims into camps (in this hypothetical scenario) will be swayed by your “meanie” assertion. Meanwhile, the rest of us would probably be taking up arms so we don’t have to live with the possibility that we did nothing in the face of another Holocaust.
There will be a national crisis, terror attack, false flag, Reichstag fire, or something. The panic drums will be pounding and the Constitution “temporarily” suspended. I realize it may sound cuckoo, but it is impossible to overestimate the utter evil of this creature.
Right after he tries to associate the BSA with his administration he fires/bans transgendered individuals from the military…via Twitter.
Does the BSA require Scouts to respect and honor a President that does not respect and honor them?
