A general thread to discuss Trump

[????]

But, in a agreement with Jaywalker's game theory, Assad will probably now be wary of using nerve gas on kids....and on a continuum, of which all of is degrees of ghastly, that is less so. So well done Trump.

PS this isn't revenge either it's targeting the airfield where the attacks were launched from

Really? You think he didn't know he'd be found out? The US attack has only had the effect of strengthening Assad in that Russia now say they'll boost Syria's air defences. Just like Saddam or Mugabe or...too many to name, this $%^* won't react in a normal, rational or civilised fashion.

From the play, "The Letter of Last Resort"...

[John] The rational thing for you to do Prime Minister, in all matters of world affairs, is to behave in a wayward and dangerous manner.

[PM] You can?t be serious.

[John] I?m deadly serious. In order to keep the value of a national Nuclear deterrent the rest of the world has to believe that the leadership of that nation is basically ? irrational ? on a knife edge ? ready to go off at any moment ? likely to do berserk things ? they have to look at that nation and believe that its premier is driven by enough psychopathy that they would be willing to see twenty million innocent civilians die for no other reason than sheer revenge.

[PM] Right.

[John] It?s called the ?crazy? strategy.

[PM] The crazy strategy.

[John] It?s a strategy which Israel pioneered. Iran has adopted it. America pursues it quite successfully.

After what I heard overnight I shouldn't be so concerned about what Trump does. Apparently it was his Mrs who asked him to do it!

[Alan Medic]

At the week-end my brother suggested to me the following scenario re the attack on the Syrian airbase.

Putin has something on Trump but Trump had to do something to show how strong America is and appear to stand up to Putin. Thus he warned Putin of the impending attack, who in turn warned Assad. This is why the damage to the base seems to have been negligible. Planes were flying out of it the next day.

Soon afterwards Trump's son was declaring that the attack shows that Daddy isn't in league with Putin.

Oh and by the way,Trump has/had shares in the company who makes the tomahawk missiles used in the attack. It's known he had before becoming President. Not known if he sold them. Share price went up after the attack.

It all makes sense doesn't it?

Google Trump and Bayrock corporation for some interesting theories about just what hold Russia has over Trump.

Trumpy has fired FBI Director James Comey, over the Clinton emails leak. This is going to be fun...

[Saffron]

As reported by CNN...

Former campaign spokesman Brian Fallon said that while he believed Comey had "inflicted severe damage" on the FBI, "the timing and manner of this firing suggest that it is the product of Donald Trump feeling the heat on the ongoing Russia investigation and not a well thought out response to the inappropriate handling of the Clinton investigation"

Justice for Hillary shouts Trump

[JohnL]

It's more and more like an episode of the Apprentice isn't it

"Today, President Donald J Trump informed FBI director James Comey that he has been terminated"

[red devil]

Was Trump asking during the election for Russia to hack Clinton a classic case of double bluff?...

[Saffron]

Judicial analyst Jeffrey Toobin is likening it to Nixon's firing of Archibald Cox.

One senses that this is the start of the end-game. Even Fox News last night was in disarray. Pence will be President before the end of the year - this is what the House has always expected and schemed for. Trump was always only a fall guy.

It's feeling like a bad nite at the Karaoke.

They used the word "atrocities" as in committed by Comey.

"No politician in history...has been treated worse or more unfairly". He actually, literally, said this. In a speech. In real life. Not as a joke. Without irony. Honestly. This happened.

Even some of his ultra right wing Christian friends are turning against him....

Putin has come to his rescue and offered to publish the transcript of Lavrov and Trump talking in the White House.

[red devil]

Don't the Americans have their own transcript?...

[steveo]

They won't need to impeach him. We might yet get to see the Donald dragged out of his tower in handcuffs.

A Dutch documentary is dishing the dirt

[JohnL]

I'll miss the Presidents Show when he gets impeached in the same way I missed Brad Bobley when Bob Bradley got fired.

Fear of him has given way to farce.

[red devil]

Don't worry, President Pence will bring back the fear...

An interesting article says that the Donald is exhibiting signs of dementia: 'forgetfulness, volatility, irritability, impulsivity and paranoia; anxiety about stairs, poor concentration and degraded syntax... small vocabulary and fragmented sentences.'

The writer says that in 1998, the Don was on Oprah Winfrey and he was 'lucid, coherent - almost articulate.'
