From what I'm seeing on Twitter, a reporter that is investigating Trump is being threatened.

Lawyer suing Trump got a nasty phone call threatening his kids and wife from a pay phone outside Letterman the night Trump was on the show. Trump seems like a vindictive creep.

He's "considering" it because Obama is taking heat for his Wall Street speeches, and running a country is just a large scale exercise in branding for Trump.

They told him to go get his shine box.

I've never heard of that website before but Buzzfeed has a story on the same subject here (you need to fix the **** in the link): https://www.buzzfeed.com/jasonleopol...where-you-live

In 2009 a lawyer representing investors in a Trump property was threatened by a phone call. The call was placed across the street (at a pay phone) from where Trump was filming the Late Show that day. The call threatened the lawyer's wife and kids.

Trump gutting Wall Street just to spite Obama scoring cash would be the most Trumpian thing to do.

Which seems more true

That Congress is gathering steam to pass legislation that will undo all of Obama's Wall Street regulations, kill Warren's Consumer Protection Bureau, and kill a lot of long standing safe guards against financial meltdown

OOOORRRRRR

Trump is going to draw on his legislative and executive stamina and persuasive abilities to gather all the stakeholders and painstakingly get them on board for long push to get regulations in place that Wall Street probably doesn't like

Most likely they're doing the same thing they did with the healthcare bill and tell Trump whatever populist mumbojumbo they think people want to hear because Obama's in the hot seat for taking money from Wall Street and let Trump slur and try to read the smudged notes on his hands while the actual legislation is the exact polar opposite.

Trump must be pissed about something wrt to big banks. Once he gets what he wants he'll fold instantly.

This literally could be something like "How are you charging me these outrageous fees, the market is up, and my hedge fund is barely moving? I'm taking to the twitters."

Also lets all remember when Trump was going to knock down prescription drug prices. That lasted all of a 1-hour meeting with drug company execs kissing the ring.

The idea that Trump would actually bring legislation up against the big banks (which Paul Ryan would never allow a vote on of course) is so utterly absurd that I don't think farcical is a strong enough word. Trump is really gonna make me break out the thesaurus for this random act of stupidity.

Edit: I kind of like cockamamie.

Great diplomacy, right? Obama makes hollow threats and then destroys US credibility when he tucks his tail between his legs. Trump instead seeks to have talks to head off conflict before it happens.

"We have been very clear to the Assad regime, but also to other players on the ground, that a red line for us is we start seeing a whole bunch of chemical weapons moving around or being utilized," Obama told reporters.

He added: "We have communicated in no uncertain terms with every player in the region that that's a red line for us and that there would be enormous consequences if we start seeing movement on the chemical weapons front or the use of chemical weapons."

Over the following year, Obama doubled down on his red line. But when evidence emerged that Assad's forces had used sarin gas in an attack that killed nearly 1,500 people in a Damascus suburb, Obama eventually backed down after threatening a military response.

We are talking about the Budget trump and Company have finally settled on, and you rang it with

Obama can pay for the programs Trump is shutting down with his sweet wall street gig.


You literally brought up Obama and wife while we are discussing Trump.


Like every other time.

Which of these are you suggesting:
- Obama should not have gone to Congress and should have struck unilaterally, because conservatives love Obama doing that
- Obama should have struck unilaterally after Congress denied him authorization to do so, because conservatives really love Obama doing that

Please let us know! I'm sure you have a very reasoned and educated take on the subject.

Why are you still talking about Obama?

what a horrible post. like others said, cite or gtfo.

for the record, i will definitely resort to violence in order to resist fascism- if i am forced to. equating me with people who travel not-insignificant distances with the explicitly stated intention of inciting civil unrest, suppressing free speech, and intimidating/assaulting women and minorities is ridiculous and you should be ashamed of yourself for posting so badly

these horrific false equivalencies thrown around by ignorant casual politics-followers never ceases to trigger/rustle me to the max. like **** you dude, why dont you go learn something before wagging your finger in my face when it's YOUR rights that i'm willing to stand up and defend

PEOPLE DON'T ASK THAT QUESTION, BUT WHY WAS THERE A CIVIL WAR? WHY COULD THAT ONE NOT HAVE BEEN WORKED OUT?

Not sure if you were responding to me, but of course I agree there is no chance of those comments being true in any substantive way. They actually cannot come to anything - literally can't - because the task is complex. So even if Trump really wanted to do it (which he doesn't), he would need more knowledgeable Republicans to write and agree on the proposal, which they would never do.

I think we are already at a point where Congress is just like "ya ok old man trump, lol"


which is good

FYP

It makes you wonder how much better or worse things would be if Trump were gone and Pence took over. At least Trump causes Republicans to gridlock themselves.

WHILE OBAMA IS TAKING WALL STREET BRIBE MONEY TRUMP IS WORKING ON THE BEST NEW LAWS TO BREAK UP THE CORRUPT WALL STREET BANKS AND MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN

lol at thinking you will get a response here.

also, heard on npr that they found evidence of 4 gas attacks since december. Im sure that was all obama's fault too.

Another recent Trump piece of brilliance bashing Obama and grabbing credit for himself. It's from a Washington Examiner interview that seemed to fly under the radar. Apparently his attention span for listening to a foreign leader is around 10 minutes.

This was a bit scary:

Obama is no longer president. You'll need to find another black boogeyman.

Trump literally cannot speak coherently.

“Nobody's safe,” Trump told Fox News’ Eric Bolling, who asked him about the defense systems the United States has in place, according to an excerpt released by the network. “I mean, who's safe? The guy's got nuclear weapons.”

“I'd like to say they're very safe,” he continued. “These are great brave soldiers, these are great brave troops and they know the situation. We have 28,000 troops on the line and they're right there. And so nobody's safe. We're probably not safe over here. If he gets the long-range missiles, we're not safe either.”
