Trump, May 2017: 100 days of [unintelligible]

loads of inbred monarchs were dumber and more ignorant of the world than trump, they also didn't have nukes

Bullshit from McMaster: he denied what the story hadn't asserted.

So dumb

So if McMaster is in charge of damage control for this, does that mean we should expect him to also be the next to be thrown under the bus by Trump? Seems to be the pattern Trump likes to follow.

Why make a one-day story out of something you can turn into days of this, says this WH, always https://t.co/9vSaaNer0H

Live on @CNN, WashPost's @GregPMiller is reacting to McMaster's on-camera statement. "The White House is playing word games here..."

Not even Reagan was dumb enough to lose his savoir faire as often as Trump has.

I suspect McMaster just happened to be the most relevant figure readily available, there's no way Trump saw this coming as a problem and strategized about it, that's not what he does

Cryptic.

CNN hinting pretty strongly that this info POTUS allegedly shared traces back to why laptops are being banned on US-bound flights.

well duh, that was obvious from the details in the WaPo story

I suspect McMaster just happened to be the most relevant figure readily available, there's no way Trump saw this coming as a problem and strategized about it, that's not what he does

Perhaps. I saw a comment that apparently the Post asked the White House for comment some hours ago before running the story.

I mean gee, just how do they connect those dots, quality reporting there CNN: It was during that meeting, officials said, that Trump went off script and began describing details of an Islamic State terrorist threat related to the use of laptop computers on aircraft.

xp

(quoting the WaPo story there)

Trump never strategizes about anything. He appears to enjoy tossing blame for his fuck ups to the nearest chump. I'm sure he'll find a way to that here as well.

Why does it keep working?

Greg Miller on CNN stands by WaPo story "absolutely"

If it's false why did Nat Sec team run to CIA and others to alert them, he asks.

you think this administration is "working"? they're stumbling ineffectually from one self-inflicted wound to another

xp

it's not working, it's disastrous for him.

It "works" so long as there are still suckers willing to stick their necks out for Trump in exchange for a stab in the back.

^^^

but that's just in terms of him staying in office/out of jail, not "working" as a Presidential administration should. Dude his not accomplishing much of anything policy-wise.

yeah, its working because youre not short of chump

Oh here's some fun

Per @TreyYingst, Bannon, Mike Dubke, Sarah Sanders and Spicer walked into cabinet room just now. They did not look happy.

Can now hear yelling coming from room where officials are. https://t.co/xh8LQ0paPM

Reporters in lower press don't know which side of hallway to lean near because so much going on during tense evening.

— Adrian Carrasquillo (@Carrasquillo) May 15, 2017

ok lolz

Hahah

WH comms staffers just put the TVs on super loud after we could hear yelling coming from room w/ Bannon, Spicer, Sanders

— Adrian Carrasquillo (@Carrasquillo) May 15, 2017

Wow

Sarah Sanders just came out and said they'll have nothing more tonight beyond McMaster statement.

— Rosie Gray (@RosieGray) May 15, 2017

But what about when the president gets mad about what he's seeing on cable news? https://t.co/66IH4utI8J

— Josh Barro (@jbarro) May 15, 2017

are those three doing the yelling or being yelled at

90 seconds with no questions should put a lid on this, good job

i still want one of those insane max headroom broadcasts from trump tower

You do you, Sarah

Sarah H. Sanders told reporters she didn't know anything about yelling. https://t.co/1CNSSomWKY

— Jim Acosta (@Acosta) May 15, 2017

are those three doing the yelling or being yelled at

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if they went in there and just primal-screamed it.

She don't know from no yelling

Not even Reagan was dumb enough to lose his savoir faire as often as Trump has.

"lose"

"his savoir faire"

Can now hear yelling coming from room

I hope someone out there is figuring out the captions for another Downfall "Hitler Reacts" video.

The importance of carefully handling classified information was one of the big lessons of 2016 . All leaders should be held to same standard

— Carlos Curbelo (@carloslcurbelo) May 15, 2017

can anyone think of a dumber head of state? i mean, historically not currently.

There's been a few royals who, through no fault of their own, were inbred, especially the Habsburgs, but I can't think of many who were ELECTED.

The transcendentally stupid Jeffrey Lord is speaking now.

Corker says White House "in a downward spiral."

Methinks a certain senator is a nine inch nails fan

Trump def hurt himself today.

To see if he could feel

lol

Treeship! I laughed!

History was made today

"lose"

"his savoir faire"

dude, Reagan was an actor. He studied chalk marks on the ground.

History is made at night.

The ugly background to this is that very large numbers of Americans pay little attention to this stuff and if the sole takeaway from their brief moment of paying attention is "Washington D.C. is in an uproar over Trump's actions", then quite a few of them will assume Trump must be doing something right if it upsets all the D.C. insiders.

The one massive self-inflicted would Trump has suffered that seems to have genuinely jolted his followers is the bag of shit called the AHCA. Health care is very real and immediate to people and Trump promised them the moon and stars and dancing unicorns, not 24 million poor folks kicked off coverage and massive cost increases for 55-65 year olds. That is a betrayal people grasp quickly and thoroughly.

AHCA has not jolted his followers fyi

Lord A., all I meant to do was question whether T. has any knowledge to lose.

84% of the GOP approves of Trump
