The Presidency of Donald J. Trump: Harm to Ongoing Matter - Page 535 - Politics and Economics

Yeah but Trump’s supporters won’t care

He’s going down the list of prior political scandals proving he can do all of them without any drop in support...once he does the American ones (including internment as the US denouement) he can move on to larger atrocities like those done in Rwanda and Germany

"Your prime minister"

That speech was ****ing bat****. Any Jewish-American supporting Trump who isn't a multi-millionaire is pants-on-head crazy.

Between Jewish Americans and Puerto Rican’s, trump has no concept of who are Americans (add Hispanics et al). But at least he can pick out Greenland on a map.

I am looking forward to the Senate passing a resolution condemning this statement.

After mulling this over for hours, I have decided he was telling them collectively, “You are prime ministers [of peace]”.

Trump is increasingly unhinged (when you thought he reached his top he surpass himself) and when we knew before he didn't care about allies and advisors, he is now openly telling everyone that on top of not caring, he is bull****ing them.
He's literally telling everyone hey you see go F yourself bla bla bla.
Must be pretty surreal conversation in allies governements...like how do we avoid a war with USA at some point if they don't change.
Saddly best way will be to ignore USA and increase trading with rest of the world, and give USA what it wants aka being isolated.
But I get it, america is totally respected again

As usual Trump says people are leaking real information to the press who say they have sources but have none.

It is the same amazing logic he used when his staff was leaking non stop to the press.

“The leakers are illegal traitors but the information is completely made up” is like Track One on their Greatest Hits.

So is it 13 or 17 Trump Haters? And can he even name one of them?

Asking for a friend.

Corruption is obviously bad but who gives a **** how many affairs a politician has had.

Why play into their bull**** moral framework?

Having an affair is immoral, as it's a betrayal of the arrangement you made with someone. If the pol was openly polyamorous or something, that would be different.

It may be irrelevant, but the ****er is in that video talking about how the vows soldiers make to serve their country and the commitment to serve the ****ing military should mean they morally should not ask for too much healthcare. He obviously pantomimes traditional values and “sacred” vows, but trots them out as weapons against others.

The majority of people will cheat on their partner at least once in life. Odd to label something like this immoral.

Obviously it’s a breech of trust but not one that has any bearing at all to a politicians fit for duty or job performance.

Americans are so insanely obsessed with policing the sex lives of other people. It’s crazy!

If a person treats an intimate partner with disrespect, what reason do you have to believe that they'll treat their constituents differently?

I think Clovis thinks we are kink shaming someone for lying to their partners instead of recognizing that it is rare for someone to behave one way in their personal life and another way in their public life.
