Laughing is the only way to cope with this at the moment
Browing that link took me to another one.

Both Trump and his wife
couldn't stop laughing.There's pretty much a new 'shocking' story emerging by the hour right now, how much of this do we think is actually true?
It sort of undercuts her wanting secret service protection if she is using it as license to get into fist fights.
Most of them are true, unless of course it comes from Trump's mouth.
I make jokes, but I seriously discount anything that seemingly has slim sources, and not picked up by more reputable vehicles.
There are alternative facts now, truth has no place anymore.
Yeah, I am getting a bit galvanized towards the whole thing to be honest. Discussed it previously about things like Trump getting some KFC and McD and the twitter attention seekers going full "omgz, looksie at that simpleton eating that crapz!", while Obama would be hailed as one of the people and a true representative of the common man if he did the same. I mean ffs, there was literally a jizzfest if he even entered a pizza parlour.
People should be wary that they don't create a 'boy cried wolf' situation here. People are starting to get fed up by the twitter brigade and all their sensibilities.
I'm fairly glued to Twitter, and didn't see this crop up once. Not to say that people haven't said it, but I'd question whether it's at all widespread.
Remember there is no difference between the Democrats and Republicans....Oh and Hillary is JUST THE WORST
Is this what I think it means? What's the context?
It was like this during the campaign as well. Information overload until we become desensitized and confused over what to believe.
It goes both ways, Obama was heavily scrutinised on every decision he made too, and his family and personal life weren't off limits.
It's going to be the same for Trump. You reap what you sow.
I don't follow, give examples of things you believe are being exaggerated or misread atm.
Edit. Other examples as I've not even heard of this one you reference, so couldn't comment on any reaction to it.
I think the tweets actually appeared in this thread as well. General consensus was what a simpleton he was since he is able to get any meal he wants in the world, but then opts for "trash" food like that.
Very banal, I know, but if every silly thing becomes a point to scrutinize him with people will just start to get fed up.
A good example can be the video with closeups and zoom-ins of his wife during that speech. Who the feck knows why she looked that funny or had that look after Drumpf turned around, but it very quickly becomes a talking point that she probably is miserable in her inferno like marriage to the evil overlord Drumpf.
I dislike the guy as much as most, but still it is all starting to become a bit ott. The guy will feck up plenty enough where it actually matters. If his hair is a bit iffy, Melania looked the wrong way or he had KFC - yeah I simply give a feck.
Edit: To the guys giving me alerts, I won't even start to sort through tweets or things posted here to give examples of things I find exaggerated. I simply don't care enough about the subject matter and feel no need to prove it as such. Reading this thread you should have plenty of examples.

I think Sean Spicer will eventually go because he's not crazy enough. So when asked about Trump's claims of 5m illegal votes, he just says "its a belief he has", instead of "yeah, there were 5m illegal votes". Not sure Trump will enjoy that style too long.
I think you may have the context of my comment mistaken as I don't understand what your point is here?
If Trump was smart he will gradually feck off the likes of KellyAnne, Flynn, Bannon et al and bring professionals into those roles. The campaign is over and there's no need to keep them around.
Obama's every utterance was also dissected and taken literally. Sometimes even edited to sound worse. This will be big trouble for somebody like Trump who says whatever pops into his head.
Is using 'galvanised' in this way a common thing? I've never seen it before and was rather confused, at first, as I'm used to it meaning 'energised' in non-scientific contexts.
But professionals won't do as he says. Takes a special kind of person to put up with his crazy.
Is it not possible that this is a minor talking point? For example the equivalent of a passing comment or conversation you might have with a friend? Is anyone in here indicating that they think this is a major issue, on par with dodgy cabinet picks and dishonest press conferences?
I'd worry if the media were concentrating on these stories instead of serious stories, or if people were paying more attention to these issues than the real issues. Not quite the case though... Not atm anyway.
Wasn't even asking for that. Just for a few examples off the top of your head.

Tbf. I don't know, I'm terrible with English.
I meant it as blasé though. Not sure if it was the correct use.
I got what you were getting at, eventually (after googling to check what galvanisation of metals actually involves...).
It would obviously go hand in hand with Trump gradually normalizing (a bit) over time. The longer he keeps these campaign people in place, the greater the likelihood of problems. Bannon, KellyAnne, and Flynn for example, are operating completely based on their own interests. The only person I respect is Kushner.
Exactly, so I have no remorse about treating Trump with the same kindness and acceptance.
Respect has to be earned.
It's tough to tell, I think standards have been lowered for Trump. But, at the same time, given the campaign he ran (and his alternative facts presidency)...maybe that was inevitable?
What isn't in doubt is what he has signed: pipelines, EPA, abortion, Obamacare.
I don't know about others but my social media feeds are considerably more full of people talking about these than they are the gossipy bits.
It's relative to who you follow I suppose, and which media you expose yourself to.
Zoom-in and closeup of Melanias facial expressions, his son being authistic or 'weird', his hair, him eating kfc and mcd, yellow showers in Russia ++
Just feels like there are a lot of attention seekers out there trying to create a name for themselves on twitter by being morally outraged and jumping on the whole bandwagon atm.
This cnut will do plenty of actually serious things that should be scrutinized, let's focus on the things that matters and not make him into some comedic cartoon villain.
Some of the replies about the date are pretty funny
In the replies, someone alludes to him already deleting a tweet since he has been President. I must have missed that one, anyone have any idea what it was about?
1. Wife's facial expression? Meh, without facts I have no opinion.
2. KFC trip? Like I said I haven't heard of it so cannot comment.
3. Golden showers? Funny as fcuk and part of a bigger story which was newsworthy, Trumps possible collusion with Russia.
So if those are your examples, (and I'm not trying to be an arse) I just don't follow your line of thought regarding crying wolf and making mountains out of molehills. Different perspectives I suppose...
'Bring the power back to the people!'
They keep asking Spicer about the voter fraud.

He spelled 'honored' - honered
Ah yeah I do remember that one, thanks mate.
zip it!
