You've Been Trumped!

Still in the sandbox I see.

Nope, she's older than me.

That means she's smarter than you.

I can give you a longer list of her lies.

Wrong.

You need to get your head out of your 4th point of contact.

Not a puppet! You're the puppet! You're the puppet!!

Politicians lie, but have they done so since birth? I do wonder if you know what 'congenital liar' means. I never suggested Hillary Clinton is perfect, but a reasonable degree of balance is all that is required to trump assumptions about biology we do not know.

He just wanted to say genitals is my guess. It's titillating. Maybe not, but I really wanted to say tit.

Donald Trump 25th September 2016 on the Affordable Health Care Act:
Obamacare’s going to be repealed and replaced. Obamacare is a disaster if you look at what’s going on with premiums where they’re up 40, 50, 55 percent.

Donald Trump 11 November 2016 on the Affordable Health Care Act:
President-elect Donald Trump said he would consider leaving in place certain parts of the Affordable Care Act, an indication of possible compromise after a campaign in which he pledged repeatedly to repeal the 2010 health-care law.....Mr. Trump also showed a willingness to preserve at least two provisions of the law after Mr. Obama asked him to reconsider repealing it during their meeting at the White House on Thursday. Mr. Trump said he favors keeping the prohibition against insurers denying coverage because of patients’ existing conditions, and a provision that allows parents to provide years of additional coverage for children on their insurance policies.

“I like those very much,” Mr. Trump said.

Donald Trump 18 October 2016
Decades of failure in Washington, and decades of special interest dealing, must come to an end. We have to break the cycle of corruption, and we have to give new voices a chance to go into government service.
It is time to drain the swamp in Washington, D.C.

That is why I am proposing a package of ethics reforms to make our government honest once again.

First: I am going to institute a 5-year ban on all executive branch officials lobbying the government after they leave government service.
Second: I am going to ask Congress to institute its own 5-year ban on lobbying by former members of Congress and their staffs.
Third: I am going to expand the definition of lobbyist so we close all the loopholes that former government officials use by labeling themselves consultants and advisors when we all know they are lobbyists.
Fourth: I am going to issue a lifetime ban against senior executive branch officials lobbying on behalf of a foreign government.

Fifth: I am going to ask Congress to pass a campaign finance reform that prevents registered foreign lobbyists from raising money in American elections.

He'll end up outsourcing the presidency. Plain and simple.

He'll end up outsourcing the presidency. Plain and simple.

It's already started

[fred41]

Since we are speculating on all these threads so much before the new President actually takes office in January..
In a comedic vein, not to be taken seriously ...assuming for a moment that the Trump Presidency goes, at least, well...
you could actually see this matchup (in a Disney universe at least):
Ivanka Trump vs. Chelsea Clinton

Let's hope so.

What is not so amusing is that if he is prepared to dump or 'amend' some of the things he said in the campaign and appear pragmatic in the process, he will have to deliver on some of the other items- but which ones? Also a lot depends on how Trump is manipulated by the party in Congress, which may, for example, continue to harass the Clinton family and foundation. This could be the first Presidential veto, if he has the power to stop it. At the moment, the Paris Climate Change Agreement could get the red pencil, ditto the Trans Pacific Partnership. But agreed, a lot of this has a comedic vein, if a darker one than late night tv.
