The First 100 Days in Trump Land
- Thread starter Ocean Breeze
- Start date
You just keep that ignorant, self righteous attitude. It gives me fuel for digs at the right wing nuts.
Turn them around. You are looking at yourself.
The last paragraph is true at least. Trump is bulldozing the bull$!t aside. Very refreshing.
Trudeau will be visiting the US on Monday. One thing about Trudeau is that he will represent Canada well; I don't believe he will be intimated by Trump. They are from the same privileged world after all. One thing for sure, Canadians are polite, but once insulted, it could take a totally different path. Here are the US's 10 biggest trade partners:
Rank Country/District Exports Imports
1 China 115,775 462,813 578,588
2 Canada 266,827 278,067 544,894
3 Mexico 230,959 294,151 525,110
4 Japan 63,264 132,202 195,466
5 Germany 49,362 114,227 163,589
6 South Korea 42,266 69,932 112,198

The problem is, our American neighbours don't "do" irony very well and most of them do not seem to be getting the joke.
I read this somewhere, made me laugh.
You voted for Trump because Hillary Clinton was going to be in Wall Street's pocket. Trump wants to repeal Dodd-Frank and eliminate the Fiduciary Rule, letting Wall Street return to its pre-2008 ways.
You voted for Trump because you thought the Clinton Foundation was "pay for play." Trump has refused to wall off his businesses from his administration, and personally profits from payments from foreign governments.
You voted for Trump because of Clinton's role in Benghazi. Trump ordered the Yemen raid without adequate intel, and tweeted about "FAKE NEWS" while Americans died as a result of his carelessness. (and civilians a child I might add)
You voted for Trump because Clinton didn't care about "the little guy." Trump's cabinet is full of billionaires, and he's taking away your health insurance so he can give them a multi-million-dollar tax break.
You voted for Trump because he was going to build a wall and Mexico was going to pay for it. American consumers will pay for the wall via import tariffs.
You voted for Trump because Clinton was going to get us into a war. Trump has provoked our enemies, alienated our allies and given ISIS a decade's worth of recruiting material.
You voted for Trump because Clinton didn't have the "stamina" to do the job. Trump hung up on the Australian Prime Minister during a 5 p.m. phone call because "it was at the end of a long day and he was tired and fatigue was setting in."
You voted for Trump because foreign leaders wouldn't respect Clinton. Foreign leaders, both friendly and hostile, are openly mocking Trump.
You voted for Trump because Clinton lies and "he tells it like it is." Trump and his administration lie with a regularity and brazenness that can only be described as shocking.
Let's be honest about what really happened.
The reality is that you voted for Trump because you got conned. Trump is a grifter and the American people were the mark. Hey, it happens, and there's no shame in being taken in by a pro. But now that you know the score, quit insisting the conman is on your side.

You'd be wrong.......................it's Sanford and Son! (I taped all the episodes)
POTUS and mental Illness
https://psychcentral.com/blog/archives/2017/02/03/can-a-president-have-a-mental-illness/
Don't think it is about what if ..as much as what type of mental dysfunction the current POTUS has.
The fact that this has arisen as a possibility by various scholars and others.... raises the issue of competence and credibility.
The Trumpster supporters are far too quick to "normalize" behavior that is not within the normal range.
One could list the obvious symptoms but the followers are too subjective and would simply deny them or find excuses for them.
It is like someone in neighborhood goes insane and does something radical and out of normal range......... the neighborhood is the last to see the pathology that was there all along
Will be interesting to watch the current POTUS evolve or devolve in the role he coveted so badly.
the fact he has no sense of humor and cannot laugh at himself is a serious character flaw.
just sayin'
