My point is just that if we have a President that is going to pursue investigations and policy just so that he can satiate his narcissism then that is definitely something worth talking about and arguing against. When he bases his reasoning for these issues on things that literally don't exist or come about by some conspiracy paranoia type of stuff some random dude wrote about on the internet then that is worth talking about.

Henry Kissinger is that you? Please explain what top level negotiations Mexico and the US might be having in light of our racist President. (Yeah I know they spoke on the phone today but as I said even before election Trump will get played by foreign leaders as he gives up leverage by being dumb. He gave up a lot of leverage here.)

I am sure trump will demand to buy as much oil as possible for 135 cents on the dollar to flex his muscles.

I don't see how the two aren't intertwined. Take the voter fraud issue. You have Paul Ryan, Lindsey Graham and others stating there is no evidence and yet Trump still pushes it and the reasons he pushes it are seriously out there.
JFC, people on the goddamn internet are talking about his health issues. If the Wall Street Journal, WaPo or NYT talk about it, we do have a discussion. But just because people on Twitter give their unqualified opinion, doesnt mean it is a thing.

We are bashing Trump supporters for taking things as granted just because some dude on Twitter posted it and yet do the same.

*edit* And iam not talking about the Narcissism here. Like already mentioned, his tendencys are clear to everyone who saw him campaigning. And we discussion the aftermath of this permanently. But saying he does have dementia or a mental break down just because of his foolish rambling is unfounded.

No, this is awful. If this happens, foreign agencies don't benevolently release this to the public to initiate regime change in the US, they use it to their benefit and our detriment.

I agree it's awful. I presume our intelligence agencies would know about it, too, which would hasten Trump's demise. But also, it seems like if this were the case we would know about it already.

Trump having a Samsung Galaxy 3 is weird as hell. We all know he's not as rich as he claims, but that **** came out in 2012. They are on the Galaxy 7 now. His contract has to be up he could get a new one for like $200 out of pocket!

Article discusses how many of Trump's executive orders may result in nothing.

This is funny sad.

Quote:
Trump, for example, said that only after a discussion with industry leaders this week did he realize that the nation’s pipelines are not necessarily made with U.S. steel. The epiphany scrambled aides to draft an executive order requiring that they be constructed with solely American-made materials. But specifying U.S.-made steel is a violation of the World Trade Organization agreement, except in cases of national security — which this is not.

I read elsewhere that the first three rows of the CIA speech audience were not CIA employees, they were handpicked Trump supporters brought in for the occasion, one of whom lead every outburst of applause and they all chimed in when prompted. Most of the CIA employees were silent and understandably appalled.

And he could get away with it because the cameras can't be turned on the agents, some of which are in undercover operations.

i heard that it was a self-selected crowd, meaning anyone could come if they wanted but nobody had to. i also heard the front row was top brass and they were all stoneface the whole time

DHS Senior officials all in hiding. Guess awaiting the axe and just trying to have to deal with the flurry of Trump EOs before the department is staffed.

Good news trump supporters really think he showed Mexico what's up this week.

Otherwise sounds like DHS excited for Kelly to take over.
