Yep. I am pretty sure that this is the plan.

They want to be able to pin any of the aforementioned, once they fail, on him.

Good grief. Obama was born in Hawaii. Unless you're convinced that Hawaii isn't a state. In which case, there's no help for you.

I'd take a trained seal right now over Twitler. No matter where it was born.

Your guy is crazy as hell.

And he doesn't give a damn about you unless you're a rich guy, like him.

Nah... who else are they gonna vote FOR?

Trump is eroding his following. Don't glance around this right-slanted forum population and let it convince you otherwise.

People are whispering to one another about it... people who VOTED for him.

Sooo... Trump makes some people giggle because they see him as "sticking it to the lefties?" Big deal.

That's just not enough to keep them going once he screws them over.

Yet... he talks about his stupid ratings all the time. If it was a joke, it was a really terrible one told at a highly inappropriate time.

A small, lighthearted joke of a self-effacing nature would have been fine. That's not what he told.

Maybe you people should put down the propaganda for once, actually educate yourself on whats going on so you don't look silly every time you open your mouth.

Honestly, I am not trying to be argumentative, but if Trump encouraged people, jokingly or not, to play golf at one of his resorts, it's wrong. Impeachable? No. Because he was careful to ask "Americans" to pray.

Anyway, maybe he'll have Arnold deported. Yes, I know he is an American citizen, but he kept his Austrian citizenship (Austria made an exception for him) So he has dual citizenship. Maybe Trump will ask the Supreme Court, once it's controlled by the far right, to revoke dual citizenship, since you really can only be loyal to one country. I mean, why not? He wants to send troops into Chicago and Mexico, yells at the Australian PM, calls being a friend of Putin an asset and signs an order to handcuff 5 year old boys at airports. The man is unstable.
Does he do anything that is not a conflict of interest, really? He brings is sons into the White House to hobnob with Congresspeople, and he plugs his show all the time... Ivanka plugged a bracelet from her collection...

Come on... this is who these people are.

Ugh.

Just imagine this post as a mirror.

And the time to even the score was at the National Prayer Breakfast? This is not middle school, NxtGen! He is our president, and he needs to stop acting like every public appearance is an appropriate setting for him to pull out his member and prove how big it is. (Sorry, but there's really no other way to describe this nonsense.) BTW, I saw this story and the clip on The Hill, a conservative news site, and then watched the entire recorded speech to ensure I understood the context. Is that what you consider propaganda?

Edited to add: I rather like the response by the former Governor of California:


"Schwarzenegger promptly replied via a Twitter video: "Hey Donald. I have a great idea. Why don't we switch jobs? You take over TV, cause you're such an expert in ratings. And I take over your job, so that people can finally sleep comfortably again."

a rather nice zinger from arnie.
