Trumped

Guess that's one way to characterize it.

Perhaps there is a method to Trump's madness...

[InsideThePark]

Eh, I don't think they're complete morons. Trump has the impulse and the temperament of a 3 year old but he does seem to possess an unorthodox cleverness that works for him some of the time. And I actually think Bannon is an evil genius.

But honestly, there is a bright side to all this craziness. Late night talk shows and the internet have never been better. I haven't laughed this hard in years.

Case in point.

I agree with this. I don't think they are stupid but rather a bit in over their heads at the moment. Politics do not follow the same rules as a business. Trump needs to realize h isn't at the top like he thinks he is. Not sure if that will happen though

At the end of the day if you stray from the establishment they will fuck you up. Obama was way more leftist when he was first elected than we actually governed.

It sure looks like dems and cons are working together to get trump out. They're not going to let a non politician fuck up their game.

Glen will be posting how wrong you are for the next forever saying the cons aren't stepping in line with Trump.

This is my thinking.  Trump and his team are finding out what they can and can't get away with.  If they keep pushing the boundaries sooner or later it will blow up in their faces big time, probably giving the left the reason they need for impeachment.

This administration is a self-licking ice cream cone. The left doesn't need to do anything but wait

[Catwhoshatinthehat]

Agreed completely and that's why I don't understand why some people are getting riled up over every little thing the administration does.  They are their absolute own worst enemy and will give the left all the ammo they need to get rid of them.

That is getting tired Glen.

Seriously.  If you don't want to really respond to him then don't.  There is no reason to be so disrespectful.

We just got a bunch of great news about the US economy

Quote

“The stunning climb in optimism after the election was significantly improved in December and confirmed in January,” said NFIB President and CEO Juanita Duggan. “Small business owners like what they see so far from Washington.”

This reading had been one of the most positive economic indicators in the wake of Donald Trump’s election win.

I think Trump is under the misconception that he was elected owner not President of the United States. He owns his business and can do what he wants. The Presidents of his company have to follow higher directives or get replaced by Vice Presidents. He would be wise to understand this.

Meh,  he is just making a fool of himself. Let him post cartoons if that is his discourse level.

I've never seen that episode so I don't really know the premise of the picture.

I would think the average CEO would understand having to work with a board and especially shareholders. And Trump has been acting more an employee (of NBC/Comcast) and salesmen of his product for years. He is however a narcissist bully. As acting like the world revolves around them is the shining characteristic of this behavior type I don't see anything changing dramatically.  That said I think those running things in the background, as in all administrations, will take advantage of Trump attracting all the attention.

If I remember right, it was the one where Abe and Burns (via their military unit) steals stuff from the Nazis.  Last person alive would keep the treasure, and it ends up between Abe and Burns.  They both try and get the treasure, and in the end the Nazis get their treasure back.  In the episode, there was something about Abe's pants always falling down.  I think it was like a sad sack reference.  Going by memory that is.

the morons who voted for him dismiss it all as a liberal conspiracy, so i doubt that his behavior is costing him any voters

The problem is that those that oppose Trump are feeding into it with their behavior. The vocal on the left foaming at the mouth screaming impeachment. The intelligence community undermining him.  Now this may be justified behavior but regardless it is behavior that is easy to point to and convince a large number of people that it is a conspiracy.

The best part of this is that it's going to make it a slightly tougher for Trump's contractors oops I mean cabinet to sell sending US soldiers in to fight ISIS alongside Russia and Assad. 

It is still an easier sell than fighting against Russia and Assad.

I just watched 5 minutes of his press conference. 

 

Thanks voters!
