US Election & Presidency

And if he goes it's President Pence. I'm not sure which is worse.

This is big. Trump will be shitting himself now.

Manafort clearly decided the pardon was too big a gamble.

Pence couldn't be any worse..could he?

Yes, that's a fair point. But it's unlikely to happen before the midterms.
After which the President could be a lame duck, whoever it is.

He tweeted two days ago that part of the problem in Puerto Rico was the incompetence of the Mayor Of San Juan. The way he has treated her whilst she has been in the trenches doing what she can to help her citizens whilst he lobbed toilet role at them is disgraceful, I would love it if she was The Democratic nominee in 2020 and she beat him. Never going to happen but I would fucking love it

the rest of the world are now hoping their is a more than credible nominee against him in 2020 never again should the presidency be open to anyone who does not have a political career it is about allowing those who have been governor or who have a seat in the senate for me. Maybe even Boris Johnson would be allowed a shot if he can't be PM.

Still no tweet from Trump about the Manafort plea deal. Manafort attended the Trump Tower Russian meeting and the plea deal he's agreed demands he tells the truth to help the investigators or go to jail for a very long time on the charges he's admitted but under the deal have been dropped. That means that if Trump Junior and Kushner have lied to the FBI about that meeting then they will be facing jail time.

On another point about the Manafort deal he's surrendered assets with an estimated value of over $46 million. That makes the investigation heavily profitable to the US Government!

The crap that Trump spouts is the sort of stuff Pence believes with a passion. He's a proper religious nut job with a history of anti-gay/ women's rights beliefs. All Trump's bullshit about not needing campaign funding was a smokescreen as most of it came from Pence's dodgy backers.

I'm still convinced he's the one pulling the strings behind the scenes in the same way that Cheney and Rumsfeld did with Bush Junior.

Just seen this on F/Book timeline

“Trump allegedly ordered an architect not to include braille in Trump Tower elevator panels because “no blind people” would live in his building—even after being informed that excluding the tactile writing system is against federal law.”

Asshole - bet he doesn't approve of hard oh hearing tenants either..

I don't know if it was true or not, but I read last night he was throwing a fit after leaving Manafort a shit load of messages without reply, supposedly he lobbed his phone in anger. lol.
