US Election & Presidency

Trump has no empathy for other humans, he is all about himself, that shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.
He was pretty much shooting from the hip here, rather than reading a script, and as is often the case, his true colours show through in that situation.

One possible bright spot, I did see a headline earlier yesterday saying he has had the biggest ever drop in support for a newly inaugarated president. I didn't immediately read the details, and given the events, I didn't get back to it later either, but that's something to cling to. Some of his immediate actions are proving less than popular even amongst his supposed fan base.

Seen an example of this myself where a Trump supporter's wife who is Venezuelan and was going through the process of becoming a US Citizen was deported back to Venezuela after being arrested in an ICE immigration raid.

He's now begging Trump to do something to help him

When he took office he changed his mind and now says it will take him 100 days.

1 day when he was a candidate,now in office where it matters will take him 100 days.Talk is cheap,action costs.

I do wonder what excuse he/they will use for failing, because Putin doesn't give two shits about Trump, with Israel there is some influence, not with Russia.

That's bromance for you

I would think whatever Trump says now, we have to take with a large pinch of salt

On the The Last Leg tonight

Adam Hills (to the actor Brian Cox): What do you think about Donald Trump?
Brian Cox: He's a c**t!

Donald Trump just talks the most jaw dropping load of absolute bollocks of anyone in the history of the universe. Passing himself off as an expert on everything when he knows next to nowt. And his supporters believe him . I mean if it wasn't so appallingly serious it would be funny.
But he just comes out with outlandish nonsense over and over as regards every subject. It's completely bonkers. I mean FFS .

Trump's bringing back 'sex'.

All Federal Officials have now been told to remove all gender neutral pronouns from EMail signatures.
And also on their websites and communications to remove the word 'gender' and replace it with 'sex'.
