Cont: President Trump: Part 3

Also she will not be a government employee and thus will be exempt from disclosure rules.

If Trump wants to give her an office in the residential part of the White House, that is his business. It is wanting her in the "Official Part" of the White House that gets my hackle.

I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt in assuming that she referenced that poll. The alternative is that she just invented it and pulled it out of her backside.

Which do you prefer? Do you prefer that she insults a huge swath of americans based on facts, or that she insults a huge swath of americans based on her imagination?

Well, that's one alternative, but not the most likely one. Are you under the impression that the one poll you found is the only publicly available one with similar information? Are you unaware that presidential candidacies typically undertake their own polls, which are not released to the public?

I mean, I'm sure you wouldn't knowingly introduce a false dichotomy.

He didn't grab her genitals, so he is really doing much better than people expect. This was one of his most presidential moments since his speech to congress.

He didn't mention the War either.

Many adult children live with their elderly parents to provide the special care they need.

Ouch.


I'll say again... I wish missing daughter Tiffany (the Kelly Bundy of the clan) were in DC. If nothing else, it would make the Secret Service agent's lives interesting.
(not that they need the help this past month)


--- I'm wondering if son Eric can be compared to Grandmaster B Bud. Probably not. He's taking a ton of SNL flak for being "slow" (though I've seen little of him to decide) but he seems to want little more than to continue to run the Trump Winery... though not a standout, it does appear to be the one remaining success from Donald's many failed ego driven name branding attempts.

I was only half kidding with my remark about adult children taking care of their old folks. Maybe Ivanka is the only one that can reign Trump in, maybe she was volunteered by Trumps family/ inner circle to make sure he doesn't go off the rails.

Do you agree then that 1/3 of Clinton's supporters are racists?

Save it for the cross-burning, Adolf.

So now I read the FBI are investigating connection between Trumps associates and the Russians:

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-03-21/trump:-comey-confirms-fbi-investigating-russia-links/8371516

What will be the ramifications of this if it holds true?

Donald Trump's claim that the Obama administration had "wire-tapped" his Trump Tower headquarters has been thoroughly and publicly debunked by FBI director James Comey, who also publicly confirmed the bureau was investigating possible links between Russia and Mr Trump's associates.

 

[CapelDodger]

And, Trump's energy is a major problem, which is why Trump has the lowest approval rating of any new president and why his approval rating is now the lowest since becoming president.

That's before he's had time to disappoint his true believers.

Alright then: third alternative, Clinton did a secret study, that hasn't been released to anyone, that can't be verified for using appropriate and valid survey technique... but that totally supports the thing she said.

Not really sure that's any better either.

Did you just call me a nazi?

You'll find the answers to all your questions by applying the Bible Code to what you imagine Hillary Clinton might have said, but didn't!

I see. So not just a nazi, but also a conspiracy theorist. Nice to know.

 

[dudalb]

He has already disappointed quite a few of the "Lesser of two evils" people who voted for him. Buyers regret is starting to set in.
Look, Trump will always have 35 to 40% of the vote. Any Republican will get that...it is the independents who decide elections.

You know, the election is, indeed, history.
You can let it go, now. We actually have other problems that are more important than this particular correctnessfest...

Ivanka is getting a White House office:

It is the Security Clearence part that worries me.

It's called paying your family members salaries, make up fake jobs for them.

Besides, there are probably more offices available there at the White House than Trump has cronies willing to fill them.

Is Hillary Clinton the topic of this thread?

They're purposely not paying her. Avoids disclosure rules and makes insider trading easier.

 

[Skeptic Ginger]

Also she will not be a government employee and thus will be exempt from disclosure rules.

The First Lady is not usually a paid employee either.

What do you want to bet that "not an employee" doesn't mean no expenses are paid on the government dime. And she can collect a salary from the re-elect Trump fund. Does she have paid staff?

These people find endless ways to skip out on taxes and filch out of various coffers.

Doubt there'll be any salary... none of them have any need for it anyway.

Donald has already gotten more than eight year's salary in paid trips to Florida, plus the protection and travel costs for his ongoing rallies not covered by his already existent 2020 CREEP (he's in Nashville today I believe).

Of course he'll "donate" that POTUS salary... he says Treasury OR a charity. What're the odds that "charity" is the Trump Foundation (or whatever it gets renamed) ?

As for Ivanka... with her hubby's family holdings picking up a cool $400 Million on the 666 Park Ave. deal (does that figure include the $200 Million mortgage write down?), she's go to go as well. Thanks China.

That's actually well timed... she may not be surviving on her product lines much longer.

Good points.
