This is a follow on, not a continuation of the "President Trump" thread.

Please keep the focus on issues related to the Trump Presidency (vs pre election issues). Items discussed in other threads should not to be raised here.

To those who think Trump's the bottom of the barrel; he burrowed under that barrel and kept going.

Donnie doesn't seem to realize: Kim Jong Un isn't a plumbing contractor from Queens that has been having delivery problems. He is a brutal dictator responsible for executing dozens of political opponents. He is an enemy of freedom and liberty.

And those are just his good qualities.
 
And another nut-job lands an appointment: Trump Just Picked a Contraception Skeptic to Head Federal Family Planning Efforts

The sub-title suggests she was only referring to 100% protection but here's the crux of her ignorance:
Manning has questioned the efficacy of contraception in preventing pregnancy, and also said the government shouldn't play a role in family planning—the foundational ideas behind the federal family planning program she will now be tasked with overseeing. In a 2003 radio interview, Manning noted that pro-choice advocates "promote contraception and birth control as a way to reduce the incidence of abortion. There really is no evidence to support that. In fact, the incidence of contraception use and the incidence of abortion go up hand in hand."

Anti-abortion drivel. Apparently she also claims it's been proven that abortions cause breast cancer.
 
Speaking of nut-jobs, one sobering reality about Trump and the use of nuclear weapons is, one of his biggest backers is billionaire conservative Robert Mercer. Mercer is also funding an Oregon biochemist Arthur Robinson, who believes human urine holds the secret of extending the human lifespan The Mercer family has supplied grants that Robinson has used to acquire huge refrigerators holding over 10,000 human urine samples. Where it really gets interesting is with Robinson and Mercer's view on nuclear weapons and what influence this may have on Trump.
[Mercer and Robinson] believe that nuclear war is really not such a big deal. It's survivable...And they've actually argued that outside of the immediate blast zone in Japan during World War II - outside of Hiroshima and Nagasaki - that the radiation was actually good for the Japanese. So they see a kind of a silver lining in nuclear war and nuclear accidents. Link

It's troubling to some because, while Robert Mercer stays behind the scenes, daughter Rebekah does not. She has become increasingly politically active in recent years and played a key role in the Trump campaign and continues to have influence in the Trump White House. Conway and Bannon are two of Rebekah Mercer's close allies.
Rebekah Mercer helped persuade Trump to hire two key strategists on his campaign — pollster Kellyanne Conway, who served as campaign manager, and former Breitbart executive Stephen Bannon, who served as the campaign's CEO. Both sit in Trump’s inner circle at the White House. Rebekah Mercer served on the executive committee of Trump’s transition team, alongside three of his adult children, Bannon and other key advisers, including Silicon Valley billionaire Peter Thiel. same source as above

The Mercer family are also part-owners of Breitbart News.
 
Anyone else watching the White House press conference today? Possibly the strangest one yet... Also, just for ***** and giggles, here is a propaganda video about Trump's first hundred days (I thought he just said it was an artificial timeline, after saying he was going to MAGA in 100 days throughout his campaign). Anyhoo, extremely strange and full of what pass for "wins" in the Trump Administration... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gET1cyM-G24
and the one from the White House

Holy ****. This may the most Trump Trump has ever been. It's from the summer of 2015, but my god:

Look, having nuclear—my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart—you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world—it’s true!—but when you're a conservative Republican they try—oh, do they do a number—that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune—you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged—but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me—it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are (nuclear is powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was right—who would have thought?), but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners—now it used to be three, now it’s four—but when it was three and even now, I would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years—but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us.

Just a little more than 100 days into his presidency and turmoil and controversy continues to build.


Sources: Former Acting AG Yates to contradict administration about Flynn at hearing

Washington (CNN)Former Acting Attorney General Sally Yates is prepared to testify before a Senate panel next week that she gave a forceful warning to the White House regarding then-National Security Advisor Michael Flynn nearly three weeks before he was fired, contradicting the administration's version of events, sources familiar with her account tell CNN.

Recently Donnie said being prez was tougher than he thought, he thought it would be easier. That he's also amazed at the sheer size of the federal government, bigger even than "big companies." Yesterday on the CBS' news show Face the Nation, he backed off a tad on how tough being POTUS is.


I couldn't believe he said that. What was tougher than being President of the United States, running the New Jersey Generals football team? But I thought Donnie topped himself for sheer nonsense when he spoke about North Korean's Kim Jong Un:



USA to rest of world: H-E-L-P!!! :(

As President of the United States, I have concluded after careful consideration that Trump is as sharp as a bowling ball.
