POTUS 45.14 - No Confusion, It's Collusion!

Re: POTUS 45.14 - No Confusion, It's Collusion!

Wrong. I've been saying since the day things kicked off six or seven years ago that it was a mistake for us to get involved. The dictators are obviously horrible people, but it's better than anarchy and non stop war between the various factions.

Well yeah, because.......................Obama.

Sounds like Dump went fully insane yesterday.

On Wednesday, Donald Trump had an interview with the New York Times in which he said … everything. He threw attorney general and early Trump supporter Jefferson Sessions under the bus. Then drove the bus himself. He followed this up by accusing former FBI Director James Comey of attempted blackmail. And he put the cherry on top of the jaw-dropping hubris-a-thon by providing his own special red line for Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

From what I heard last night any Attorney General who heard that from the President would resign immediately.

But, not Jeff Sessions.

Breaking News: Jeff Sessions said he'd stay on as attorney general "as long as that is appropriate" after President Donald J. Trump criticized him in an interview.

You can see all these people around the President wanted power/positions/authority etc. And they don't want to lose it more than anything else in the world.

Holy ****.

Did you read more of the interview exerpts? Here's a gem regarding Obamacare and Healthcare Coverage:

TRUMP: It was good. We are very close. It’s a tough — you know, health care. Look, Hillary Clinton worked eight years in the White House with her husband as president and having majorities and couldn’t get it done. Smart people, tough people — couldn’t get it done.

...

So pre-existing conditions are a tough deal. Because you are basically saying from the moment the insurance, you’re 21 years old, you start working and you’re paying $12 a year for insurance, and by the time you’re 70, you get a nice plan. Here’s something where you walk up and say, “I want my insurance.” It’s a very tough deal, but it is something that we’re doing a good job of.

In Trump's mind and heart, healthcare insurance coverage is one in the same as life insurance.


Otherwise, if someone has a $12 per year Blue Cross Blue Shield plan, sign me up yesterday!!

Do you think freedom and democracy have worked in either Afghanistan or Iraq? Someone in charge is better than no one in charge. Asia is a completely different story.

Yes, go into a country to defeat them with no idea on what to do after you win was a great idea.

Just because your party doesn't think of that doesn't make it a bad idea. We should not just let other countries take over, that's just stupid.

Have a plan to be effective- know HOW you rebuild a country before you go and destroy it. Which means that having nobody in charge isn't going to happen.

Had we helped out Afghanistan out when the Soviets left, it's HIGHLY likely that the Taliban would have had nothing.

Isolating the US from the rest of the world helps nobody, including you.

Yep. Scooby's link earlier leads to this page of transcript exerpts, which as others have pointed out, veer dangerously beyond the "Do you think this guy is getting dementia?" territory.

See my point about Health Insurance = Life Insurance two posts back.

I can picture him running his businesses the same way. A bunch of toadies and hangers-on taking a beating whenever he goes on an insane rant, but as long as they keep their mouths shut they have lifetime employment at a high salary so why not?

Wondering if Trump is going to go full on Howard Hughes soon, where he turns into a recluse and never leaves one of his mansions!

We(Obama) didn't learn from Iraq and Afghanistan. We can't be completely isolationist but we also shouldn't get involved (or at least any more than we have to) with situations like Libya and Syria.

What has five years of fighting accomplished other than death and mayhem?

It's become a war of attrition. Prolonged death and mayhem are the accomplishments desired to meet the ultimate goal.

I'm not sure that's even really a question at this point. His family certainly seems to know it.

SCHMIDT: Did you actually have a one-on-one with Comey then?

TRUMP: Not much. Not even that I remember. He was sitting, and I don’t remember even talking to him about any of this stuff. He said I asked people to go. Look, you look at his testimony. His testimony is loaded up with lies, O.K.? But people didn’t — we had a couple people that said — Hi baby, how are you?

ARABELLA KUSHNER: [enters room] Hi, Grandpa.

TRUMP: My granddaughter Arabella, who speaks — say hello to them in Chinese.

KUSHNER: Ni hao.

"Arabella, what's the first thing they taught you about China?"
"That they haven't been manipulating their currency for a few years now. See Grandpa, it's amazing what you can find out if you bother to do even the most passing research into a subject."

I was pretty sure you pasted that incorrectly and he actually said something like $12000 or $1200 or maybe even $120, but no he actually said $12.

Right...I am sure you even believe that. Still waiting btw for you to objectively tell us how Hillary was a bad Senator and Secretary of State...

You mean the the same way the current GOP didnt learn from Obama and did the exact same thing after ripping him for it?

Maybe the issue is the swamp's bait-and-switch. Obama campaigned against the wars, and yet spent every single day of his Presidency in a war. Establishment GOP whined about wanting to repeal PPACA, and now that they have their chance, all of a sudden they don't want to do it. Bankers pushed for the killing of Qaddafi because he wanted to go on the gold standard. Welcome to the wonderful world of campaigning.

I've seen Trump wanting to do his job rather than try to keep his job, and although he's made some mistakes along the way, such as the visa expansion and negotiating with a political group that has absolutely zero interest of negotiating, he has made some good strides for the greatest country in the world.
