this is why The Thick Of It would fail if it came out now.I still can't get over what someone posted recently, mate: how he sends photos of his encircled hands to a journalist who criticised them for their small size.

My reference for his behavior back in 2016 when we got to know him more quickly became Eric Cartman from South Park. If you can imagine how Cartman might react to something, that's likely how Trump will react (but Cartman is more eloquent than Trump).It's actually one of the most bizarrely funny things I've read. I was just incredulous, even though we all know by now what he's like.
He's talking about the ketamine he takes.
It's really amazing how a United States president who tweets like an tryhard edgy teenager is now the new normal.
Jesus, Steve, stop spreading this excitement around!Tweet

He wasn't so keen to address the public at the start of the protests.Trump to hold press conference after jobs numbers better than expected
(Sources: Guardian et al)The president has tweeted a copy of a letter that appears to have been written by one of his former attorneys to former defense secretary Jim Mattis, after Mattis heavily criticized Trump on Wednesday for dividing America.
The letter says: “The phony protesters in Lafayette park were not peaceful and are not real. They are terrorists using idle hate-filled students to burn and destroy.”

The little stuff like this still gets me. There's people who want four more years of this guy.
That "kidding but true" and the third person stuff. Why is he so weird?
He called a reporter Fake News recently that made me start to think that this is the next stage of alternative facts. It's no longer the news that's fake it's the people. So anyone who says anything negative, even on camera, about him will be deemed as imaginary by his followers. Funnily enough Russian bots will be seen as real.You mean...they're...imaginary?
He takes up both sides of the aisle* so he can have plausible deniability when taken to task.Tweet

Ah, sorry, chief. My memory's not so great.nimic said:First of all, how dare you?
It's the editor of vanity fair. Trump was upset over an article that criticised the size of his hands so for the last decade or so he's been sending him pictures It's like he also messages FORBES telling them how much he is worth and pestering them about his position on the Rich List. So much so they wanted to remove him permanentlyI still can't get over what someone posted recently, mate: how he sends photos of his encircled hands to a journalist who criticised them for their small size.

Um, excuse me? nimics are people too you racist bastard.First of all, how dare you?
Absolutely. Evangelism is the US is really some vile shit, they are really brainwashed.Religion as well.
If anyone ever needs a reason for why evangelical/fundamentalist christianity is a detriment to society just look up/refer to the Jesus Camp documentary.Absolutely. Evangelism is the US is really some vile shit, they are really brainwashed.
The Theroux documentary was more than enough for me fecking nutters.If anyone ever needs a reason for why evangelical/fundamentalist christianity is a detriment to society just look up/refer to the Jesus Camp documentary.
I think the "flaw" we found in the US these past few years is that enough of the population is wholly unconcerned with the norms of government so they're willing to support an authoritarian, and enough of the populations is wholly unconcerned with the norms of decorum so they're willing to support someone grotesque. We already knew that enough of the population was conservative and/or voted very very narrow interests (lower my taxes, no abortions, don't take my guns, etc), so we shouldn't be surprised that there are Republican presidencies or Republican congressional majorities at times. But while it is longer-term an existential threat to a healthy democracy to have potentially several authoritarian presidencies and majorities, it's also very hard to have a system design that keeps that threat in check if that is what the electorate wants.
