Trump

Someone on the news last night described this week as being the best of the Trump presidency so far.

In any other presidency, the furore about a Supreme Court nomination would be seen as a PR disaster. Yet this farce probably is a high point for trump. What a crazy world.

I can see where they're coming from.

Trump got his nomination through and to his core support and the GOP, it's a huge success.

That plus the recent trade deals, jobless rate and Melania's seemingly successful tour of Africa....it is going to be pushed as a success.

The flipside has wide spread protests at SC nomination, the covering up of sexual assault, the normalising of sexual assault, the dismissal of women's account of sexual assault, tax fraud and bog roll on a fat cunt's shoe. This is all just fake news though.

The African trip was pretty successful. But then any mrs Trump must be used to a large wrinkly mammal with no social graces jumping on her.

Time for a long hard look in the mirror America. Forget Trump. The white racist dudes in charge are just using him as a court jester. Watching these guys enable that jester and let him bully from behind his phone and in front of carefully regulated equally misinformed people is awful. These are the people you want holding power? How much longer before we start getting the MAGA New Jim Crow Act pushed ahead? Fucking hell.

Trump's vision continues to focus on the past and not the future

Leaving aside Trump doesn't understand the word proven that was an astonishingly crass speech at the swearing in of Kavanaugh, even making it so partisan whilst unusual wasn't the worst of it

Clearly they've strategised this works out well for them but christ! And as so often how can the bar be lowered next?

Still, undercover of all this the rules on vehicle emissions changing is getting far less coverage than it warrants

Nikki Haley has resigned according to US media. Will be interesting to find out why.

I am marginally concerned that it's because the US are planning a withdrawal from the United Nations. Trump doesn't react well to being laughed at.

Ivanka 4 UN ambassador.

I shouldn't joke. Haley said this morning at a press conference:

"First of all, I want to thank the president for just, you know, allowing us to come out and talk to you this way. It has been an honor of a lifetime,” Haley said, before offering praise to the first lady, Ivanka Trump, and Jared Kushner. “Jared is such a hidden genius that no one understands,” she gushed."

“Look at what has happened in two years with the United States on foreign policy. Now the United States is respected"


Fuck my arse.

Can't imagine Ivana or Jared being anywhere close to effective at the UN. They will be chewed up and spat out. At least Haley's hard-nosed, no nonsense approach seemed suited to Trump's message. I can't imagine Jared being able to charm anyone in his suit and Ivana is woefully inept.

I can’t believe this is even a real conversation.

Headline today "Trump touts Ivanka to replace Haley as UN ambassador"

When the UN laughs at Trump he's perhaps more inclined to send them people he considers a joke

Ethanol ain't painless, it brings on many changes...

Trump showing once again republican claims to pro open markets are rubbish. and ethanol is one of the stupidest pork barrels already. You'd hope eventually Trump will look to the future but he continues to look to a rose tinted view of the past

It is really hard for satire to stay ahead of the Trumpster fire.

When the stock market goes up it's down to the genius thinking of Trump, when it goes down it's due to a crazy out of control and even dangerous fed chair

We can ignore for a moment the Fed chair was appointed by Trump and was praised by him at the time, and we can ignore too Trump's stated certainty he understands what's going on better than the Fed, it is possible after all despite his intellect, education and willingness to drill down into detail that Trump has lit upon a better idea than the Fed.

What it's not possible to say is that the Fed is acting in a dangerous or misguided or out of control fashion, there might be better decisions they could have reached but the actions they're taking are perfectly understandable

Melanie does not think that talking about if Donnel make fuck with other women is import to be best First Lady.

[Mikey Brown]

Melanie - the most bullied woman in the world - you mean?

[WaspInWales]

She sold her soul years ago. Donald could literally smash the back doors off her mum and she'd no doubt find solace with a shopping spree.

She probably has had her waz botoxed to dull the pain of any negotiated re entry by Donnel.


That is one hollow fuck trophy. Man.

More 'winning' for Trump...

A judge dismissed Stormy Daniel's defamation case against Trump citing the First Amendment which has protected Trump by allowing him to deny accusations made against him, at the same time as making allegations in return.

What a system.

In other news, the Cherokee Nation issued a statement criticising Elizabeth Warren for using a DNA test to 'prove' that she has Cherokee heritage. Trump has made it a personal mission to discredit Warren's claims about her heritage and has often called her 'Pocahontas'. Trump has somehow used Cherokee Nation's criticism of Warren using a DNA test as proof that she is a fraud...even though the test itself backed up her claims, although they only showed a small link.

The master of fake news at work.

The Warren story goes back quite a few years though as she was listed as a racial minority in the Association of American Law Schools Directory of Law Teachers and also as a 'woman of colour' at Harvard. Some argued that it was done so she could gain career advantages through being listed as a minority, which she has denied.

Trump, however, remains a cunt with 100% DNA proof to back that up.
