Trump Being An Idiot, Part 3,789...

[Mozz71]

So, the POTUS has got his bra strap in a twist now because a foreign language movie (which he hasn't seen) won the best movie Oscar. Plum.

Wish he was in charge here!!

[Spicerack]

Ditto.

[Mozz71]

What would Dominic Cummings do if he was? ;-)

[Spicerack]

VP.

[Mozz71]

Better than Pence I guess.

Trump's single redeeming feature is that he's funny. Unintentionally a lot of the time, but that's ok, it's still a good thing.

[ichkeria]

Yes the White House’s own McGonagall :-)

Bloomberg is far richer than Trump, and self made, so if it's about billions accrued he's a shoo-in later this year ...

david small - // You sad lot and your snide armchair comments. He’s a multimillionaire and the President of the United States of America. What have you lot achieved? //

There is no requirement for anyone to have 'achieved' anything in order to make a comment on a public figure's behavior - any more than the fact that President Trump has achieved the rank of President should allow him to revel in rank stupidity and cultural ignorance and pass them off as desirable personal qualities in the leader of the free world.

My comment was neither 'snide' or made from my armchair!

//if it's about billions accrued//

It isn't.

naomi - // //if it's about billions accrued//

It isn't. //

Indeed not - if it was, Bill Gates could be President any time he feels like it.

[Ellipsis]

Oh it isn't about billions accrued? Then this gush was a bit pointless ...

naomi24> Donald Trump, they cry, is a failed businessman - one who inherited two hundred million dollars from daddy … but they neglect to acknowledge that Donald Trump is now worth an estimated 3 billion. That’s BILLION people! Some failed businessman! Magic!!!

[Spicerack]

Erm, Naomi didn't say it's about assets accrued, you did, just before you bigged up the asset stripper.

Spicerack - // Erm, Naomi didn't say it's about assets accrued, you did, just before you bigged up the asset stripper. //

Although naomi is defending President Trump's assets as a businessman, that does not negate her point that having lots of money is not a guarantee of success in the Presidential contest - in my view the two are not connected, and Naomi did not suggest that they are.

[Spicerack]

That's what I said, isn't it?

[andy-hughes]

Spicerack - // That's what I said, isn't it? //

On re-reading, it is indeed, I mis-read your post - my apologies.

[Spicerack]

No problem. ;-)

Trump is a very funny bloke. His quips are legendary.

It’s not about how many billions he or Bloomberg has or how they got it. (((Oh and although not in the same league, Sanders who has only ever worked in government jobs is a multimillionaire with three homes, way to go socialism))). Or about how much money, assets or how many businesses they have or have had. If he was a penniless farmer as president they would be saying exactly the same. Failed businessman.

It’s about Trump is not a Democrat. That’s it in a nut shell. If he had been a Democrat we wouldn’t be talking about him in such derogatory terms.

The MSM, Democrats and all the liberal left and woke Hollywood glitterati have not accepted his presidency and have from day one done their utmost to take him down. And with 93% negative coverage they have done a sterling job of convincing their base both at home in the US and abroad.

TDS means that his actual words, to those sufferers, don’t actually mean what they say. TDS is such that the words mean nothing but spin and bias is king.

US politics, both in government and the nation has become vile and hate filled. Not because Trump is vile and hate filled but because the ones that are hell bent on taking him down are vile and hate filled. The decisions in the US is coming from the left.

Clint Eastwood said Trump should be more genteel.

Well he can’t be more genteel. 1 I don’t think it’s in his nature but 2 more to the point he has had to push back lie after lie after lie about him. He has had to push back on the bias against him. He has had to push back on the hate and the negative reporting on anything and everything.

I didn't big up anyone. I've got no time for Bloomberg or Trump, which is why I thought bringing someone's wealth into a measure of how great they are was pointless.

[naomi24]

//which is why I thought bringing someone's wealth into a measure of how great they are was pointless.//

You’ve had a ‘whoosh’ moment. If you read and understood the thread you would find that it was suggested that Trump is an incompetent businessman. The ensuing information concerning his accumulated worth was posted in order to dispel that lie. Nothing more, nothing less.
