A general thread to discuss Trump

[JohnL]

Trump tweets "It's been a really good day at the White House"

I really wish he was being ironic

[Loz]

I think it has been - they seem (and time will tell on this) to have finally found someone who can control the chaos that has reigned for the past six months. Whether he can control Trump will be the acid test.

General Kelly ?

In a last goodbye some prankster emailed him pretending to be Priebus

Two recent events of concern in the great Trump circus:

End times - and look who's sucking up to Jesus.

"For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:"

[JohnL]

"Gasps of shock were heard among members of the UN General Assembly as the US President escalated his rhetoric"

(He might totally destroy North Korea and Rocket Man apparently)

Is Trump losing the plot completely or is this possibly fake?

[JohnL]

He's handing out Halloween Candies to the other children today.

He'll probably eat the lot himself.

Must be fake - that would be headlines.

[JohnL]

His last post was "Also there is NO COLLUSION"

But if the birds start to sing he could be in trouble.

[JohnL]

He's droning on again about the evils of political correctness and getting rid of the diversity lottery program.

He's also considering sending this attacker to Guantanamo Bay.

and tax cuts loads of them.

Looks like the Maybot has got more balls than Trumpy... https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2017/nov/13/theresa-may-accuses-russia-of-interfering-in-elections-and-fake-news

[JohnL]

Good for her (even if I say so myself).

Sky News today claimed that photo of the Muslim woman walking past the injured at London Bridge was Russian propaganda (to get us fighting each other)

[Alan Medic]

I'd like know re TM, why now? Maybe it going to break how the Ruskies messed with the referendum.

[JohnL]

Is Theresa May getting ahead of the curveball

[nxjen]

I watched the first episode of the new Channel 4 documentary series Trump: The American Dream. It was compelling tv, should be sub-titled the Making of a Monster.

Looks like pure distraction to me. "Dear people of Britain, Brexit is continuing to be a train crash, so I... OOH LOOK, A SQUIRREL!"

Oh yes - but "dead cat" is the correct term isn't it as in you throw a dead cat on the table and everyone screams.

I'd agree with the squirrel theory.

New levels of madness...

[JohnL]

He's getting crazier - I actually fear he's going to do something stupid (and that's worse than re-tweeting Britain First)

Didn't congratulate Prince Harry either and you suspect the reason why (and it's not because he believes the Royals are privileged and wants social change).

[Earl Aelfheah]

Surely he will be impeached at some point. He's unhinged.

[Loz]

The problem is, if Trump is impeached, you get Pence, who is equally unhinged but less visibly so.

[JoeLeg]

I've long been convinced he's only a seat-warmer for Pence, who is decidedly unpleasant.
