"Hey, I'm a Nationalist and a Globalist"

Oh the irony

Peterwl · 29-04-2017, 11:25 AM

This should be a test as to who is running the place !

Ever since that day, November 22, 1963, has a US President dared release this.

While George Bush senior is still alive, probably wont happen.

I know the 100 day target is pretty unrealistic to do anything these days but in his own words he is the deal maker and he set that himself that goal so is open to the same criticism as the presidents before him if he doesn't meet it.

Lol, I heard him say last night "this job is harder than I thought it would be."

O'rly?

From the Don's twitter.

.@LouDobbs just stated that "President Trump's successes are unmatched in recent presidential history" Thank you Lou!

Welp, his humility didn't last long.

Moron.

Trump launches hotline to report 'criminal aliens'!

A new hotline to report "criminal aliens" has been launched by the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and is being flooded with calls — although not the ones originally hoped for.

A cabinet of highly respected and successful people that get things done.

As opposed to a cabinet whiners, naggers, whingers and cry-babies that just complain 24/7 - Beta's cant lead.

Then why hasn't Trump got anything done?!

Trump's picks could almost be considered ironic. Spent most of his campaigning complaining that Hillary was in Goldman Sachs' pocket, then enlists 5 'Sachs veterans'. He's picking people to completely dismantle or sabotage the agencies they're in charge of.

Head of the EPA is the most humorous. Sued the EPA more than a dozen times and called for it to be dismantled.. now heading the cause of dismantling Obama's Clean Power Plan. Considers climate change a hoax. Head of the Environmental Protection Agency not only has no interest in protecting the environment but is looking to put in legislation detrimental to the environment.

You mean the sanctuary city cuts that were blocked in court.. to which Trump replied (again) SEE YOU IN COURT!?

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...-order-blocked

Or the link you provided - Trump trying to push through the wall budget that he had to backpedal from, otherwise risk a shut down of the Government..?

He can't even nullify the in-fighting in his inner circle, let alone accomplish anything of significance. All the while overshadowed by FBI investigations, seeing his 'selected' falling one by one.

Farce.

I only glanced at it. If he had of tried to throw a new healthcare plan in their laps with 48 hours to go they would have shut it down.

But now he has some spending money, and he has a human wall for the time being with ICE and Border Patrol - more jobs and even less people crossing the border illegally!

Donald Trump blames constitution for chaos of his first 100 days!

On his 100th day in office on Saturday, facing historically low popularity ratings, a succession of intractable foreign crises and multiple investigations of his links with Moscow, Donald Trump reminded the nation that 1 May was Loyalty Day.

In an interview with Fox News to mark the 100-day mark, he declared himself “disappointed” with congressional Republicans, despite his many “great relationships” with them.

He blamed the constitutional checks and balances built in to US governance. “It’s a very rough system,” he said. “It’s an archaic system … It’s really a bad thing for the country.”

Heaps praise on Putin and now Kim Jong Un..! He's envious!

But is this a sign of stupidity, senility, a dangerous combination of both?

http://www.salon.com/2017/05/01/hist...row-democracy/

..and so much for his negotiation skills, he got schooled and slapped.

An embarrassment he may be, but I'm seeing Trump and his "saga" in a different light now.

President Hairstyle was going to win the electoral race irrespective, the electorate had to feel empowered again otherwise those who wield the ban stick in Ummerika wouldn't have been able to push through the "reforms" they have in mind. Whether he's complicit or an unwitting patsy doesn't matter; on the surface, he will be the whipping boy for the failures the US will experience (economic and political). This will break the back of the unwashed as they will feel utterly betrayed by their "saviour" (yes, millions in the US see Trump as a Messianic figure of sorts).

May we live in interesting times.

Rodp · 02-05-2017, 09:54 AM

That whole interview was bizarre. He couldn't string together one coherent sentence and wouldn't clarify anything when he was posed with a follow-up. I actually know less about where he stands after watching it.

Compared to a late 80's interview with Oprah. Much the same language and mannerisms but a lot more coherent and able to stick to the topic.

Did you not look at what these executive orders are? There's no action as yet, they're directing the Commerce Department to conduct a study on trade agreements.

Largely, executive orders are mostly directing Government agencies on where to deploy resources. Signing his name to a document may well achieve next to stuff all.
