Fox News and it's "so called " experts are lying again and Trump is believing every word of it.

Theresa May should be feeling very uncomfortable.

Not only has she invited a petulant child on a state visit with unseemly haste, said petulant child doesn't care who he alienates to justify his lies.

Since May thinks this is the man to save us after Brexit I hope she's bright enough to be worried

To be fair, I don't think Trump ever said it was an Irish proverb.

True though contextually implied. Mmm contextually? No, you are right he didn't say it.

Collapse of the name Donald - as long as you ignore the very small numbers involved.

A lame duck Presidency in less than 100 days! Great news for Friday.

If the report I heard is true, then someone ought to be investigating his intellectual fitness for office.

According to him, the failure for his proposal was due to insufficient Democrats supporting his proposal not too many Republicans not supporting his proposal. He blamed his failure on the opposition not changing its mind rather than an insufficient number of his own party members prepared to support him.

I suspect ... I hope ... that his inadequacies as a politician will sooner or later (preferably sooner) push him into resignation from his Office.

Problem is that even were he to resign we wouldn't get an election, we'd get Pence as president for the rest of the 4 year term. And that wouldn't be good.

Oh, I agree Pentz wouldn't be good, Prof - but at least he knows how the system works. Last night's farce shows a very much weakened presidency, and, whether we like it or not, that is never a good thing.

What makes you think that is a bad political move? Trump's supporters will lap this up. It's all the fault of the evil Democrats.

Yes but last night's debacle was good for Americans. If Pence was in charge, the bill might have gone through, in fact a more extreme bill might have gone through. A lot of the Republican dissenters were people who thought the new law didn't go far enough.

Maybe they should be taking seriously the women who have complained about Trump's wandering hands. If they have substance, maybe it would be one way of getting him out of office, before more drastic measures are employed!

As has already been noted that just gets us President Pence

As unpleasant as that would undoubtedly be, Pence appears to be sane, unlike Trump.
Which is a problem because his policies would likely be even worse than Trump's but he might be competent enough to get then through.

Can it be?

Is Trump an illiterate constipated Pongo?

Quote
Comedian Samantha Bee created a great round-up of the evidence back in October citing his dislike of teleprompters, a clumsy deposition hearing and numerous telling quotes from his past.

Recently, former “SNL” star and Donald Trump impersonator Taran Killam has confirmed everyone’s worst suspicions about the commander-in-chief’s time on “Saturday Night Live”: Trump “struggled to read.”

“He struggled to read at the table read, which did not give many of us great confidence. Didn’t get the jokes, really. He’s just a man who seems to be powered by bluster.”

Great. Good job he doesn’t have many important intelligence decisions to make. Oh, wait...

That's scary, he's putting businesses before our welfare, by hiding the evidence there is a problem.

It is nothing new for people to choose to dislike or agree with a persons beliefs or what they represent.
What I find oddly amusing and even sometimes prejudicial is the way you believe the worst or the best of news about
a person based on your own personal 'like' or 'dislike' of the person.

Donald Trump could not have got where he is today if he did not have the intelligence and forethought of a good business
deal. He represented the thoughts of the majority of Americans and even when it added up he won.

It is a fact of life that people treat others how they think they deserve to be treated based on their own personal dislike or like
of the person.

How did Hitler come across with the promises of a better and stronger nation and future?
Do you think that if those people had seen the results in the years ahead, they would still have put him in power?

The prejudicial thinking of mankind is without doubt the reason so many evils happen in the world.
Why do many people are harmed or hurt by other humans.
I would ask all who posted to examine their own thinking.  Where have you offended or hurt another person simply because
you did not like them or their beliefs?

President Trump whether illiterate or not still became a successful business man and billionaire and even President of the United States of America. For a man to achieve that if he was illiterate makes him one of the greatest presidents of America that has been. Because he showed he is capable of achieving great things even when lacking in the basic skills of mankind.

A man to be reckoned with, if it was true.  But man does not look at personal achievement and exception they look to their own bias. And so no individual really recognised for their capabilities or exceptions. They are purely judged by the personal prejudice and dislike by other individuals towards them.

Meh - Trump is a failed Businessman prone to multiple bankruptcies. In fact, he's not quite the self-made mogul he makes himself out to be.

For a start, he got considerable assistance in his business ventures thanks to his real-estate developer father; whose name helped open many doors for the young Trumpster when he began his career in real estate, after all his father was one of the richest individuals in America at the time with a net worth of roughly $200 million. (The equivalent of $1 billion today.)

His early success was ultimately depended on many important privileges that were obtained with his father's extensive support, including having a name that opened doors to banks and insurance companies and New York City Hall, Trump also benefited from financial assistance from daddy that was worth many times more than $1 million he claims he started out with.

In fact, he and his businesses have also enjoyed public help in the form of tax breaks, loans from his siblings, and protection from bankruptcy courts worth well in excess of $100 million.

So it was his father who made sure Donald got a big head start in life and really not anything to do with his so-called acumen!!

Bad Eggs!

What ever money he used. His investments proved good.
He bought up all the old buildings and turned them into something new and made a lot of money doing so.
The fact his Father helped him up the ladder is neither here or there.He succeeded.

He ripped people off Sassy, he succeeded in business because he's ruthless.
How much money a person manages to make, isn't a measure of them as a human being.

IMO how they made it, matters.

Donald Trump might be a success as far as material things go, but as someone I respect, he fails. I'm not that taken with " people with money"  HOW they got it, is all important to me.

He fails because he doesn't know how to treat other people, especially people he considers beneath him. Vulnerable people.

You might admire someone because they have lots of money and see it as success, but I don't.  Some people would sell their own grandmother to get it.

I look at how they treat people they consider beneath them, how well they keep their word if it isn't in their own best interest, their honesty, their personal integrity.

Donald Trump fails.
