That puts the OPEN right where I expected it!

One is always interested in a fantastically open discussion where we start with your position, and y'all are expected to agree with it.

Such open, much honest.

Sensational.

What are some of Trumps biggest flaws and mistakes as president?
 
I see that Trump is not talking much about the polls the past two weeks since his pool numbers begun to tumple down.

Haven't we gone over this crap argument already? More than once?

According to you and other Trump supporters using this shallow argument, if Trump can talk and sign his name he is meeting the required duty of the office.

Move on.

Anonymous opinion piece in the NYT by someone in the Trump White House

Claims that a number of officials are deliberately tempering Trump's worst instincts. Not a very charitable description.

Wowowow.
I liked CNN's chyron - ANONYMOUS HIT. Too bad the space is in there...
I'd love to see the Vegas betting on who wrote it. My first offhand thought, Ivanka. For some reason, CNN's insistence on gender-neutral pronouns makes me think it's a woman. And after all, it mentions McCain, and she showed up uninvited to his memorial.

You know, with the publishing of the above piece, I actually have a little faith that those folks around The PDJT in the White House really do have the country's best interests at heart. It is one man that's doing all this (although he's had several enablers which should take responsibility.)

Leading the country with dignity and being an eloquent proponent of its values is always a bonus.

Don't be too sure.

The article does have a section where the author talks about the "good work" that's been done with Tax reform (which of course is resulting in a huge increase in government borrowing), deregulation (which makes the financial system less stable, and leads to more pollution) and safety (which Trump's policies have actually had the opposite effect). I can assume that if the republican health care plan had passed, they'd be praising it as well.

It doesn't necessarily sound that the author has the "country's best interests at heart"; more likely they just want to make Trump's horrible policies more palatable. i.e. they are saying "I'm a racist asshat but I'm trying to hide the fact that Trump is a racist asshat".
 
.@PressSec: "The individual behind this piece has chosen to deceive, rather than support, the duly elected President of the United States. He is not putting country first, but putting himself and his ego ahead of the will of the American people."

Lets talk about how purple the White House is. Or closer, how white it isn’t.

That Trump has major misalignments with Republican and American values is a statment of fact. His ignorance and eratic behaviour is on display and observations of this by people inside the administration are coming to light. This is a disastrous presidency.

Trump loves the rallies and the attention and all the pomp and circumstance. But he has ZERO capacity for the job. He's beyond lazy and is being used to do horrible and stupid things. He doesn't have a clue about the Constitution or ramifications of any of policies.

I hear it'll be "Flim" and "Flam", first two volumes of the epic Flim-Flam series ("A Song of ICE and Firing"), to be followed (rumour has it) by "Flip" and "Flop". Contains scenes of a childish nature.


Or it might just be "Fart", whatever. :cool:

I'm sure people have already begun subjecting the article to stylometric analysis and will uncover the identity of this traitor. No surprise that we have people in the White House actively working against the President's agenda. Bush-McCain elites thwarting the will ~26% of eligible AMERICAN voters who chose To Make America Great Again. Contrary to what anonymous claims, the Deep State is real.

Ah, but you see, Dear Leader is the one who determines what is Truth. His followers (because we're talking about a cult, here) simply take what he says as granted.

I agree there's a cult but I don't see Trump as its leader so much as its most enthusiastic devotee. Typically, of course, cult leaders try to monopolise the information its members receive : on that basis the real leader of the Trump cult is Rupert Murdoch via FoxNews.

It could be worse : at least Bannon isn't playing Wormtongue as he once hoped.
