Trump’s Soft Spot for Strongmen Harms U.S. Image, Say Critics

Kim Jong Un of North Korea keeps as many as 200,000 of his own citizens in prison camps. But to Donald Trump, he is a "smart cookie."

Rodrigo Duterte of the Philippines has bragged about killing drug dealers, and has been accused of encouraging thousands of vigilante killings. But President Trump invited him to the White House.

The US military is disturbed in regard to the rhetoric of Trump and his contradictions on North Korea.

Ryan pulled the vote, Trump has no power over that.

Ryan's side says he took the bad news to the White House and they jointly decided to not have a vote(knowing they would lose). It was Ryan's decision to make, formally, but Trump was in agreement.

Whether that's because the most recent discussion at that moment was with Ryan and most-recent-tip always wins Trump's support or because he actually thought it through? I'll leave readers to decide.

Trump's initial reaction was "Oh, yeah?? Well, I'll just go work on something I know everyone supports me on... tax reform!" Apparently the Anti-AHCA forces got his ear, though, and he's back on track to fail yet again at getting Trumpcare passed. (And not getting his tax reforms, either.) He's got to be getting tired of all the winning.
 
President Trump Was 'Directly Involved' in Hunt for Tweeter of Inauguration Crowd Photo

President Donald Trump was "directly involved" in the quest to find the staffer from the National Park Service who retweeted a comparative photo of his inauguration crowd with that of his predecessor, former President Barack Obama.

On the day of Trump's inauguration, the official account of the National Park Service retweeted a photo showing a crowd for Obama's event, compared to a smaller crowd that had gathered for Trump's that day. The retweet was quickly taken down.

According to a report from CBS News, who cited emails about the exchange released through the Freedom of Information Act, Trump contacted acting National Park Services director Mike Reynolds about the tweet.

He has to be the dumbest person to ever be president.

The USS Carl Vinson and Andrew Jackson fiasco, among other things such as appointing Flynn in the face of warnings, confirms that Trump is one of the dumbest presidents in US history. And, for him to say that he didn't think the job as president was that difficult underlines the fact he has no business being in the White House because he is too dumb to be president, a fact which he confirms with almost each passing day.

The way Trump is going each passing day, he won't need Air Force One to get to China. At the halfway mark of his term, he can use the same hole to get back to the White House and think how much that will save the taxpayers in fuel savings from support aircraft in addition to Air Force One that's required whenever a president travels overseas.
 
Less politics, more another example of ego and a poor relationship with facts.

Trump National Golf Club has a historical marker for a Civil War battle that never happened.

President Donald Trump was roundly mocked yesterday for the historical illiteracy evident in his Andrew Jackson quotes. Now Golf Digest is revisiting an earlier scandal involving Trump’s ignorance of the Civil War.

“Many great American soldiers, both of the North and South, died at this spot,” reads the inscription a faux historical marker on the course of the Trump National Golf Club, according to the New York Times. “The casualties were so great that the water would turn red and thus became known as ‘The River of Blood.’ ”

The battle never happened. “No. Uh-uh. No way,” Richard Gillespie, the executive director of the Mosby Heritage Area Association told the New York Times. “Nothing like that ever happened there.”

When Trump was informed by the New York Times that three different local historians had said as much, Trump replied, “How would they know that? Were they there?”

The fake historical marker on Trump’s golf course, commemorating the fallen in a battle that never happened, was signed by Donald Trump. “It is my great honor to have preserved this important section of the Potomac River!”

Yeah, how would those Ivory Tower elitists know anything about their field of expertise?

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.

And look how many Americans consider that a presidential statement. That is the kind of brilliant analysis that the republican party needed to win.

This text, more than many, make it obvious that Trump really can say whatever he wants, or shoot people in broad daylight without losing followers.

This level of devotion is just plain unsettling.
