Donald Trump Presidency-Day One

[Stavros]

I can't decide which is more surreal, Trump's quest to make the glass all empty, or the millions of voters who put him in charge. I say the latter.
I guarantee you Fox News targets stupid people.

There has always been a segment of the US population that incline toward the God, Family and Country ideology fostered by a diverse set of people from evangelical Christians (if indeed they are Christian), to libertarians, Klansmen and so on. What would normally be puzzling is why even Fox News cannot ask the most obvious questions that undermine the performance of the President they defend so much. Just on the US Embassy move to Jerusalem the obvious question to ask of the man who claims he makes the best deals, is: What has Israel given to the US in return for the US moving its Embassy to Jerusalem? The answer: nothing. More than that, the US didn't even ask for anything, let alone demand a concession from Israel. Fox News and other supporters are fully aware that this is a giveaway President so incompetent, so utterly bereft of political nous he is prepared to dance to the tune of anyone who he thinks will make him look good on tv -and what does it mean to fulfill a campaign promise that was not worth anything to the USA anyway?

Just as the President has reneged on his tariff strategy with China, shown that sanctions against Iran can be violated with his approval; that the President can decide to recognize North Korea without the approval of Congress -just as these events illustrate the perils of American Kingship as opposed to American Democracy, so his supporters cheer him on, terrified of losing power. They should be more terrified of losing their freedom as the Head of State of a country that rebelled against an Imperial power imposing its rules on British America now strides across the world imposing -or trying to impose- its rules on everyone else. A King in all but name, until the day his luck runs out and he doesn't look so good on tv anymore.

I'm sure things get clearer when more pieces of the puzzle show up in evidence, to show Trump's guilt and explain some of the curious steps he takes. We'll all find out Trump has a thing for his ego and his gold. It probably is as simple as that.
But it seems like Trump's supporters have all been hypnotized, brainwashed. They hate Hillary and Pelosi more than our enemies in Russia, Iran, N Korea, etc. If Trump gets nailed for being involved with the Russian Mob, where will his Faithful turn? In the long run, Republican v Democrat means nothing, it's the character of the entire Country that matters, that's what scares me more than that little prick Trump.

ONE Donald Trump I can understand, but his 50 million followers seem to defy reality. He doesn't even represent them!
There are two Trumps: the one who pretends to champion conservative media values, and one who cashes in on his newfound good fortune.
Behind it all is the fear that the United State's time as TOP DOG is coming to an end, and this is what that looks like.

I have read three people, that claimed there will be violence, if Trump is impeached. One was Rodger Stone, another was televangelist Jim Bakker. My point is, if this is true, that would mean their loyalty is to Trump over the Constitution, or the rule of law.

In his latest example of policy incoherency, Trump wants to save the Chinese phone company ZTE from being pushed into bankruptcy as a result of fines and trade restrictions imposed by the US for trading with Iran and North Korea. US intelligence agencies are also concerned about cyber-security risks from ZTE phones. This is from the same guy who has been talking about US jobs being lost to Chinese companies breaking the rules, and also wants tighter sanctions on Iran.

One theory is that Trump is trying to curry favour with the Chinese to get a trade deal, although it's an odd negotiating strategy to grant the other side a favour without getting something in return. There are also suggestions that there may have been a quid pro quo already: a Chinese company recently provided a loan to the developer of a Trump resort complex in Indonesia. https://www.vox.com/policy-and-polit...esia-lido-city

Whatever, the real reason, it underscores that if Trump has his way the US will be literally a lawless country where everything depends on his passing whims.

When told that Senator John McCain would not endorse Gina Haspel as the new Director of the CIA, a member of the President's staff said It doesn't matter, he's dying anyway. The White House has refused to apologise for the comment, but the President has made his own statement via Twitter:

The so-called leaks coming out of the White House are a massive over exaggeration put out by the Fake News Media in order to make us look as bad as possible. With that being said, leakers are traitors and cowards, and we will find out who they are!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 14, 2018

Does this mean that the 'traitor' who leaks information from within the White House will be arrested and charged, and if found guilty of treason in a court of law be executed as a result? Because Treason is a serious crime in the USA punishable by death, so one would expect the President of all people to immediately order an investigation with the intention of prosecuting the person responsible for betraying the United States of America -right?

Or maybe these days, as Yodajazz suggests above, treason is just one of those things and nobody need worry about it...least of all the justice department.

I hate Liberals.....

Do you even know what the word means? Most Americans would define the party you claim to support as liberal. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern..._United_States

The brave internet warrior Peejaye
Wanted to debate politics every day
But he found try as he might
He could not tell left from right
So he had to oppose whatever 'they' say.
