President Trump Optimism thread

Whew, if she could look at someone like Trump and see anything but a dumpster fire, and worse, see him as a viable US President, then yeah, you dodged a bullet, it sounds like.

Scary part is she was basically a hippie the whole time we were together. Now she’s a Christian fundie or something and hates everyone to the left of Mike Pence for some reason.

See? Nobama managed to sneak his Muslim curtains into the White House back in '66.

Nefarious!

Pretty neat trick for a five year old. But those Sekrit Muslims are crafty like that.

Five years old? Prove it. Show me the birth certificate.

You know what uranium is? This thing called nuclear weapons and other things. Lots of things are done with uranium, including some bad things. Nobody talks about that.

I’m pretty sure uranium powers the time machine Obama used to go back to hang up those curtains.

One point twenty-one gigawatts!!

Donald Trump defeats terrorism with one crazy trick! Bad hombres hate him!

That was plutonium.

So how did America like that Trump press conference from yesterday?

… and that’s a three day rolling average, so it’s not even the full effect yet.

And speaking of polling, Trump has, at long last, beaten Obama fair and square at something.

… He’s more hated now than Obama ever was during his entire administration.

Saw quite a few people mention that meeting out there. Everyone involved uniformly had no comment.

Good speech. But I’ll repeat my statement about McCain and others that give good speeches while not doing anything: we have Twitter and Facebook for that. The people with actual power need to actually do something. Still props to him for doing it.

From Lybians!! Or technically, for Lybians, I guess. That’s why they were so pissed.

Makes me wonder if the FBI is going to serve Gen. Flynn with a notification of investigation. It certainly seems they may have cause–unauthorized contact with a foreign power is a felony, as is lying to FBI agents under questioning.

Things could get interesting. He may be willing to be the fall guy, but if he decides to roll…

I have to wonder if Pence has been quietly recruiting a prefab cabinet to drop in when Trump is inevitably removed.

This is Pence’s cabinet already. If he wasn’t on board with these picks, they would not be rammed through the way they have been. Pence would be a blessing from the image-abroad, stability, and general business-as-usual standpoints, but he would be just as big a policy clusterfuck.
