He's still at it:

Trump just took credit for preventing airline deaths. Here’s why that’s absurd

Welcome to international relations in 2018: “Mine’s bigger than yours is”

 

[TheHead]

Remember when the Trumpettes said Hillary was a warhawk who was going to start WW3?  This clown is practically egging a maniac on to start a Nuclear War.  This is embarrassing.  His twitter account should be taken away from him like a 12 yr old's gameboy gets taken away when he misbehaves. 

 

[PuckChaser]

I have a feeling he's got a whole bunch of really classified intelligence on whether the NK nuclear threat is actually real and operational. No sane person thinks a tweet is going to start a nuclear war.

 

[McG]

It has been argued that Twitter should not cancel his account.

... but maybe Congress and Senate could pass a piece of legislation that takes it away.

How many sane people thought that a dead duke in the Balkans would lead to years of a world war?

 

[FJAG]

But are his tiny hands strong enough to push that bigger, more powerful button?  ;D

He sure has proven that he doesn't make knee jerk reactions and say insanely idiotic things on twitter.  I agreed with him today when he went after Pakistan (even though several months before he was tweeting that he was developing a relationship with them).  At first when he was elected I got a chuckle that the US elected the village idiot.  Now he's gone from the lovable idiot to dangerous.  Are you honestly justifying this type of behavior from the President of the United States.  If Obama did this there would be mass outrage from the usual suspects on this board. 

This tweet, like most of his hypocritical attacks on Hillary and Obama, won't age well.

I'm old enough to remember the Cuban Missile Crisis. It's difficult to imagine President Kennedy behaving the way their current president does.

C'mon cut him some slack.  At least he's admitting his leadership is horrendous.


And he's not wrong about Pakistan as far as I'm concerned.  I've thought that same thing for many years now.

A fire broke out Wednesday at property owned by Bill and Hillary Clinton in Chappaqua, N.Y., authorities said.

Burn Bags? ;D

 

[TheHead]

That'll show that evil "deep state"

All jokes aside.  The Trump circus continues with Trump poster boy Steve Bannon calling Trump's sons contact with a Russian lawyer treasonous.  In return Trump goes on tirade saying Bannon was fired and lost his mind on twitter.

The great thing about Twitter is it can't be blamed on the mainstream media boogeyman or fake news.

( Ivanka ) privately mocks her dad’s infamous hairdo.

“She often described the mechanics behind it to friends: an absolutely clean pate — a contained island after scalp-reduction ­surgery — surrounded by a furry circle of hair around the sides and front, from which all ends are drawn up to meet in the center and then swept back and secured by a stiffening spray. The color, she would point out to comical effect, was from a product called Just for Men — the longer it was left on, the darker it got. Impatience resulted in Trump’s orange-blond hair color.”

And you'll be able to read it sooner then planned. Apparently Trump's "cease and desist" letter has prompted the publisher to release the book tomorrow instead of next week.

And given himself and the White House réaction it will be a best seller.

And given himself and the White House réaction it will be a best seller.

I expect the presses will be running red-hot turning tonight churning out more and more copies. It was already running as #1 best seller on the Amazon pre-order site and considering the low price (US$14.95/CA$15.99 Kindle' US$20.98/CA$35.78 Hardcover) should be selling like hotcakes.

That book is going to be a boon for the press. Every bit of work is done for them, they just have to quote a few passages. Single source journalism, nothing like it.
