In a highly unusual turn of events for a sitting president, a federal judge in Florida on Wednesday ordered a golf resort owned by President Trump to pay $5.7 million for refusing to refund deposits to members who wanted to resign from the club.

But those people were supporting him no matter what.

Leaks Suggest Trump’s Own Team Is Alarmed By His Conduct

Quote:

Unsurprisingly, Trump’s volatile behavior has created an environment ripe for leaks from his executive agencies and even within his White House. And while leaks typically involve staffers sabotaging each other to improve their own standing or trying to scuttle policy ideas they find genuinely problematic, Trump’s 2-week-old administration has a third category: leaks from White House and agency officials alarmed by the president’s conduct.

“I’ve been in this town for 26 years. I have never seen anything like this,” said Eliot Cohen, a senior State Department official under President George W. Bush and a member of his National Security Council. “I genuinely do not think this is a mentally healthy president.”

This one is a little dated - 5 days - and a little long, but worth the watch.

Yemen has apparently revoked permission for US Special Forces raids on terrorism targets. Drones apparently still cool...

Like, he might say something like "NYC should see 4-6 inches of snow." and if NYC got 3.9 inches of snow, people would say he sucks at forecasting. And he would fall for it every single time. He eventually ended up killing himself because the trolls basically drove him insane. Anyways, I see a lot of similarities between him and how Trump reacts to anything negative about him. They both crave attention and positive reinforcement and cannot handle the slightest criticism.

Well, that got dark quickly.

Yea he was trolled for like 10 years. His last name was Bartlo so he'd be called names like Fartlo and whatever. There's a whole bunch of stuff online about him if you want to check it out. This is his obituary.

100% double plus believe Trump is on uppers of some sort.

Trump wants people to think he's stupid?

Donald Trump.

Really?

You are a very effective troll, because you actually get under my skin. Good job if that's the case.

If you are NOT trolling, you really need to take a look at your life and reexamine the way you see the world. I feel quite sorry for you if you are being genuine.

Pretty much this.

We at the point where Trump can say 2+2=5 and his base will say "fuq yeah".

Maybe the lesson we learn from Germany is to burn the whole country down before we can move forward.

Hard to link on my phone, but CNN has the story. In news that is by now a tedious matter of course, noted Trump ally Bashar al-Assad hanged 13000 individuals for the crime of being "believed to be opposed to the government." While it's no Bowling Green Massacre, this number is the equivalent of about 4.5 September 11th attacks. Thankfully we don't have to worry about survivors bringing any downer vibes to our newly great country. The door is completely shut to them.
