He's more like a WW player who's about to get voted out for being a wolf at the moment than an actual, functioning President.
 
Are the caps normal for him? I don't recall seeing them before. He seems rattled even by his usual standards.
 
I was going by the post on the_donald. From their glee I thought he had linked to the document earlier which was picked up. Seems like he only made some vague post and is now claiming this is all his doing.

Yeah. Basically what happened is that Rick Wilson was giving it large "Dump incoming, gonna sink Trump" etc. etc. and someone made a pre-emptive" I sent Wilson fake info and now they're talking about spies" post, when the Russia story had been going all year anyway.
 
Just read the press release Trump is referencing in his tweets. The Putin spokesman said "the Kremlin has no compromising information on Donald Trump".

Neither the FSB or the SVR are HQ'd in the Kremlin. Figure of speech or sly way to tell a half truth?
 
I genuinely can't believe he won. Can there be a less presidential president?

Thats very true :lol:

He's too used to being the big boss with no one questioning him, now it might be the 'top job' but being president involves a lot of scrutiny. The quicker he quits twitter and learns to do this stuff through his press office the better.
 
If the allegations are fake, the person who wrote them has an amazing and crude imagination, finally tuned to knowing what is utterly scandalous.

There is literally nothing in the 'being pissed on by Russian hookers in a bed that President and Mrs Obama slept in' can bed bettered.

Trump should find that guy and hire him.
 
To be really honest, the public not knowing what the media is doing, what is real, and what sources to trust is probably a good thing for Trump, that's the sad reality.

Can't see the allegations and most of the claims being true. But with Trump and his clan there's so much shady things going on, something very real, compromising and verifiable is going to come out eventually.

Let's just hope it's not going to be a 'Boy who cried wolf' scenario then, where not a single feck is given anymore. But then again if it's really 'compromising', it becomes irrelevant what the public believes.
 
Not even as a fictional character in a sitcom. Honestly, if this was all a script in a TV show you'd get producers asking the writer to rein things in a bit to make the president more believable.

People used to say elements of House of Cards were farfetched. Not anymore.
 
The hacking campaign, according to this analysis, was designed to split the Democratic Party so that as president, Clinton would have to spend enormous amounts of time dealing with domestic discord driven by Republicans and progressives tricked into believing that the Democratic National Committee had rigged her nomination. For example, as part of the campaign, Russian hackers obtained emails from the DNC that were then sliced into small bits and put out on the internet through participants in the propaganda effort. In many of these instances, the real documents were misrepresented. For example, WikiLeaks released a number of May 2016 emails on the eve of the Democratic convention that made it appear as if the DNC was solely pulling for Clinton; in many online postings, the date was removed so readers would have no idea unless they searched for the original document that was written at a time when Sanders could not possibly have won the nomination.

Indeed. Do feel like CNN kind of rushed this, or made too big a deal of it (could've just made it another story on the homepage and kept working on it). Especially when we learn that it seems like everyone in DC already had the memos.
 
He should prove he has no financial ties to Russia (among other things) by releasing his tax returns.

I'd argue this is months too late. The dossier should have been published sometime in October.

Interesting. Also makes it even more frustrating that so many Sanders voters refused to get behind the other Democrat candidate, even after their guy has specifically asked them to. Looked like a crazy decision at the time and looks more and more stupid with the passing of time.
I'm not entirely sure that happened. There was a big deal of Bernie or bust types, but I doubt there were enough of them to swing the key states. I could be wrong though.

There were just about enough Stein voters in each of Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania to cover Trump's winning margin, though it's probably unlikely that all of those were Bernie or Busters.

We'll never know if it swung the result but it was definitely a real phenomenon. A very stupid, real phenomenon. So when we're pointing fingers at people who contributed to this disaster then they shouldn't be pointed at Trump voters alone.

Clinton's camp put the blame firmly on Comey fwiw, saying the letter and retraction energised his base enough to get a big R turnout.
