I would venture a guess you are significantly more intelligent than many who voted for him my friend.

Or as he would put it. "JIMGA is very, very smart, an amazing, great thinker. I mean, I don't know if you have noticed, but there is some great, great thinking going on there folks, it's beautiful."

Yep. Still a lot of hate and hubris up in this one.

Yeah. I disagree with JIMGA's opinions on a lot of things, but I do listen and respect him because he's put thought into his opinions. He's not gonna be like, "Blah blah blah because Trump!!! MAGA!!!"

That's a pretty low bar to clear for respect.

Just sayin'.

What counts as "significant"? All?

28% increase removal orders and historic low flow of border crossings. Seems like it is, at the very least, trending in the white way. ;)

Intentional spelling at the end there or freudian slip?

Just another Monday where the President lies repeatedly in a news conference.

...about things so easily refutable with readily available facts.

The ultimate Trump quote:

Trump just claimed no President has ever called families of fallen troops, insulting thousands of Gold Star Families pic.twitter.com/G3gW160Wfn

I'm sure he was just joking

Not only is it a blatant lie, he's using the death of soldiers to brag.

At least he stopped short of claiming he invented the telephone just so he could call the families of fallen soldiers.

Don't know the legalese but not sympathetic. Any collusion (likely IMO) happened before Trump stepped into it.

Well Kap and Trump have one thing in common:

They both tried to sue their way into the NFL

Trump's, Fuck the GOP, strategy is going swimmingly. A new CNN poll gives Dems a +16 advantage on the generic ballot.

Don’t worry. “Fake news”, “build the wall”, “5.2M off the national debt”, “Obamacare is dead”, “amazing tax cuts”, and other mantras with no basis in fact will stir up (R) votes.

Almost best for the media to not publish polls to not allow Trump to rail against them.

I don't believe polls anymore.

He said that was what he was told and I don't doubt it honestly. I'm sure the way his administration gets him to do things he doesn't want to do is to tell him Obama didn't do it.

Does he know Obama never resigned?

Well fuck, that should open up a whole new playbook.

Obama wanted to Nuke NK
Obama thought Iran was not adhering to the nuke agreement
Obama was against tax cuts for the middle class and only wanted to give rich folks a break
Obama wanted to build a wall
Obama wanted to eliminate subsidies
Obama was on twitter too much
Obama listened to everything Hannity told him to do
Obama thought climate change was a lie
Obama was a white supremacist

Damn, they get good enough at this and we may end up with a serviceable President afterall.

DOLA:

We aren’t the highest taxed “developed” nation in the world either and it’s not really even close.

For the third time, Donald Trump, U.S. is not 'highest taxed nation in the world' | PolitiFact

But he believes we are, and so do his followers. That overrules any stats you have that can prove otherwise.

Isn't that how a cult works as well?

So thank god other "No other Presidents called the families of fallen Soldiers" if this is what they are told.

Seriously, this is who you allegedly comfort a grieving family?

Frederica Wilson says Trump told widow of fallen soldier 'he knew what he signed up for'

Disgusting remarks from a guy that avoided military service on 5 different occasions and now treats the military as a toy he can play with.

Yesterday, he also used his Chief of Staff’s, General Kelly’s, dead son as the reason why he hadn’t called the families since Obama didn’t call Gen Kelly after his son died in combat. Just gross that he would use someone’s dead son as an argument to cover up for his lie. The man has no shame.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn...all/index.html

As a former military member, I didn’t sign up to be ambushed and/or die; I signed up to serve and protect my country. I knew that I could possibly be in situations where my life would be taken, and I was prepared to lay down my life if the situation called for it. Hell, I had that conversation with my wife on many occasions. I also expected my family to be comforted after the fact with the knowledge that I didn’t die in vain. Telling a pregnant spouse, that just lost her husband after being ambushed, “he knew what he signed up for, but I guess it still hurts” is just appalling and shows the lack of empathy or caring that he truly has for anyone that serves. We aren’t toys that you can move around on the floor, Don; we’re people too.

But, hey, flags and kneeling is disrespectful to the military or some bologna.

But he says he has proof that he didn't say that (of which will never see/hear of I'm sure)

And your comment here illustrates your agenda.

Thanks for your service ... but having served doesn't mean you can't be a clueless git either.

So he's calling a gold star family liars over something they have no reason to lie about.

But the anthem guys!6

Saying "that's what he signed up for" to a widow almost sounds exactly like fake news from the DNC. It's almost too good to be true from an oppositional standpoint. I wouldn't be surprised if he indeed did not say any such thing (just as I wouldn't be surprised if he did). But, here's the deal: it's been proven on a daily basis that he lies about things, so there's no benefit of the doubt here.

And thanks for your citizenship, but being an American doesn’t mean you can’t be one as well.

His benefit of a doubt card expired about 6 months ago. Guess we will see when the family finally comments, but he is so fucking awkward when he has to talk off script I am not even the least bit shocked he would say something so insensitive. I will also be curious if the other families that he called comment.

I am probably too late and I am coming at this from a very biased place.

Leaders of our Country,

Please leave this death out of your political discourse. I am begging you. Please.

RIP Wheelie King.:(

Mother of fallen soldier: 'Trump did disrespect' my family | TheHill

What in the fuckity fuck?

WaPo is reporting that in June Trump called the father of a deceased soldier and offered him a 25K check.

Which of course he didn't send until the report was public.

He's a deeply broken man.

Already enjoying the delicious tears of people who are upset about this.

The anthem thing is totally about respecting our troops though. Trump and his supporters have the utmost respect for them which is why they are so offended when someone kneels.

Now this is a conspiracy theory I can get behind!

People Think Trump Just Used a Melania Body Double and Everyone Is Freaking Out

(Edit: I love how Trump mentioned his wife, and then unnecessarily emphasizes that she is, in fact, allegedly, standing next to him at that current time)

I think we can all assume Melania Trump has fallen into a coma and has been secretly replaced by Calvin Kline?

Here's the (possible) start of Trump's Benghazi.

http://www.cnn.com/2017/10/18/politi...nse/index.html

GOP controls Congress. We'll see another investigation of the actual Benghazi before any fingers are lifted to supervise whatever happened in Niger.

T can literally say anything he wants, true or not, without any ramifications. This is learned behavior and thus far, he's right and likely has been his entire life so until he's proven otherwise bet on the trend.

Corporations to keep tax break lost by millions of Americans - CBS News

Glad Gen Kelly is in the White House to help keep an eye on things. Very good press conference today on the “Trump phone call to Gold Star family” situation and helped put things in perspective a bit. Trump was wrong, the congresswoman who ran to the media was wrong, the staffers in the White House who doubled down and brought Kelly into it were wrong. Sad that Kelly had to be the one to, hopefully, put this thing to bed considering what he’s had to go through with losing his own son.

The fact that he can willingly work for a man who has denigrated others in his position, as a gold star parent, causes me lose nearly all respect for him.

Only calling on reporters that personally knew a gold star family was bush league.
