"Sir are you aware that taking Iraq's oil is a war crime?"

"Your organization is terrible, just terrible. You are fake news! Next question...you please from Breitbart News."

"Sir, it's estimated by our website that 99% of (true) Americans support your recent Iraq oil repatriation plan. Do you have a comment for our readers?"

LOL I know I'm late here but this post is just so unbelievably bad.

You know the Trump foundation made blatantly illegal self dealing purchases, right? You know Trump used foundation money to bribe Pam Bondi into not investigating Trump's scam university, right? These things aren't even in dispute.

Relatedly, I think this was one of the Clinton campaign's biggest tactical mistakes. These were crystal clear scandals and most people never understood them.

"Free Melania" was a common sign at the Women's Day protest.

God how funny would it be if Melania turned on Donald and joined the Democrats after divorcing his ass?

Many on the left were against any trade agreements because they say it provided a platform to exploit poor workers, and inhibit growth for the developing countries. Thats why many preferred voting for Trump to Clinton.

Regressive left are wankers.

I drove around the Central Valley a lot this summer. Trump signs EVERYWHERE. No Hillary of course. What in the hell did you think would happen? That was literally his 2nd biggest campaign promise. And his biggest, building a wall and tightening immigration, would seriously mess up your cheap labor.

JFC stupidity knows no bounds.

Im saying it is the regressive left who helped elect Trump with their protest votes because of their superior principles.
Those reggressives should also own this mess.

No one on the left voted for Trump. Trade deals or not.

Largely true.
But there was a huge anyone-but-Hillary vibe and those people either didn't vote, or voted for a 3rd party.

Anyway, rant over.

"The left" in the U.S. is a much bigger and broader coalition than "the right." Even though a lot of people did vote for third party candidates that otherwise would've voted for a Democrat, Clinton still got 2,900,000 more votes than Trump at the end of the day. Overall popularity is not the Democrats' problem.

When you have such a large and broad coalition, it is often more difficult to get them to unify behind a single cause or candidate.

It was asked at the spicer's press briefing (if they would vow to never doing it) and he said they would not take it off the table.

Somebody asked if they could guarantee that Trump wouldn't send troops into Iraq in order to secure the oil and that's when Spicer dropped the - Trump doesn't reveal his plans to the enemy, what does he look like, an idiot? Take.

Dumbass trump surrogate Kayleigh on CNN says "There's no evidence that disproves it" (that there were 3-5 million illegal votes.) Sigh.

I do like the idea of constantly referring to Trump as the minority president.
