Trump is an embarrassment to: the office, his administration, his family, the GOP, the male gender, rich white elitists, the human race, people with any shred of decency, Russians...
For God's sake hand the keys over to Mike Pence now!!! Day-in and day-out you prove yourself to be unfit for the position!!!!! I wouldn't hire you to cut my grass because you would screw that up too!!!!!!!!!!
Please go away, you f*cking a-hole. I knew your tenure would certainly be a cluster f*ck but you have managed to surpass even my lowest of expectations.
The question is why the media treats Trump's toilet-flush tweets as important news.
Everybody poops. Trump poops with his mouth and tweets. Yes, he does it in public but hey so do gorillas at the zoo. Do you sit around all day and watch gorillas throw sh*t at the walls? All right then.
He never makes any sense nor does he ever really say anything. I can't believe people actually support a candidate that cannot string a sentence together, let alone complete a rational thought.
Fox news is now literally putting words in his mouth.
“I didn’t tape him, you never know what’s happening, when you see what the Obama Administration, and perhaps longer than that, was doing, all of this unmasking and surveillance and you read all about it and I’ve been reading about it the last couple of months, about the seriousness of the and the horrible situation with surveillance all over the place. You been hearing the word unmasking, a word you’ve probably never heard before, so you never know what’s out there and I didn’t tape and I don’t have any tape and I didn’t tape.
“But when (Comey) found out that there maybe are tapes out there, whether it’s governmental tapes or anything else or who knows, I think his story may have changed and you’ll have to look into that because then he’ll have to tell what actually took place at the events. And my story didn’t change, my story was always the straight story, my story was always the truth, but you’ll have to determine for yourself whether or not his story changed. But I did not tape.”
Earhardt then gushed, “It was a smart way to make sure he stayed honest in those hearings.”
“Well,” said Trump, knowing an opportunity when he sees one, “it wasn’t very stupid, I can tell you that. He did admit that what I said was right and, if you look further back before he heard about that, maybe he wasn’t admitting that.”
Read it out loud and see if it makes any sense to you.

What's this? It says he behaves like a boorish clod, despite having been charged with the highest office in the land and representing our nation to the world?
...but there is a big difference between intentional transparency and unintentional transparency. Trump may be "unintentionally' transparent but (looking at the big picture) you cannot say that one of the qualities of the current White House Administration is transparency.
Perhaps I was reading too much into your statement. It's his inability to regulate his thoughts and impulses via his tweeting that will continue to to haunt him however long he is in office. He's child-like in so many ways that it boggles the mind.
I wouldn't trust him to be able to prevent a grease fire while operating the fry machine at McDonald's... let alone run a country.
"It's his inability to regulate his thoughts and impulses via his tweeting that will continue to to haunt him however long he is in office. He's child-like in so many ways that it boggles the mind. "
That's the thing: isthat inability ever going to catch up with him? Right now he's partially protected by Republican majorities in both Congressional chambers, since the party still thinks that he can improve matters and/or help it hold onto power. When Trump's inability to think straight and behave like an adult becomes a political liability for the GOP, it may try to push him out.
But as long as Trumpistas stay locked into the echo chamber of FOX, Breitbart, InfoWars, etc. it's not clear that they're going to turn against the party in Congressional elections. There may be a Katrina moment where the scales fall from their eyes and they realize that the GOP and Trump are leading them to disaster, but there's no guarantee that moment of Trump-as-political-liability will come or that Trump supporters will turn against their leader.
There's also a possibility that Trump's stupid, impulsive logorrhea and galloping narcissism will become a legal liability (hello, obstruction of justice!). But even that avenue may not go very far: there's not much precedent for punishing a sitting president, short of impeachment and removal from office. IIRC, some legal scholars claim that the president cannot be prosecuted while he's in office. And if it's up to Congress to serve as judge during criminal proceedings against Trump, it doesn't look as if much will ever come of that: you'd need Democratic majorities in both chambers for those proceedings to have any real consequence. Right now I see Trump as a combination of:
1. an insane Humpty-Dumpty
2. a toxin-filled snowball, rapidly growing as it rolls downhill towards disaster
3. a Magic Eight Ball, jacked up on crystal meth as it tweets out all sorts of crap, without regard for truth or reality.
to which point i was referring...his inability to keep his mouth/tweets shut makes his lies more transparent than other president who appear to be a little smarter, or at least disciplined with their lies.

The only... and I mean only... place where he may be somewhat transparent is in his ridiculous knee-jerk tweets.

Which president could we trust? One thing you can say about Trump, he's transparent.
Transparent? Huh?
Is that why they no longer open up the White House visitor logs to the public or why they don't want to answer how often he is playing golf instead of working? Is that why they are conducting fewer and shorter press briefings with cameras sometimes not even being present? Trump hinted that he may have had tapes of Comey and could have disclosed that he did not (right after Comey's testimony) but chose not to until later... is that transparent?

The real issues being him being a Russian agent ? As long as that is front and center, there isn't anything else to talk about. It means that the effort to have him removed from office is steadfast and ongoing and everything centers on that goal. And all the arguments against Trump are built upon that argument. The other argument builder is how his temporary travel ban has been stopped. That one will fall apart as soon as it gets to the SCOTUS and Trump will be upheld. All's that's left is the Russian thing after that is gone. And that is all that there is going to be for the next 4 years or until he is removed from office, which ever comes first. Those fighting will never stop or accept Trump as the legitimately elected POTUS. It's institutionalized political corruption's last stand.
Looks like I got a couple of things right.
Trump now switches from defense to offense and he's really, really pissed. And rightfully so.
The only people arguing about him being POTUS are the ones who enjoy posting "he won. get over it." That's childish. The issue is whether or not he's a competent POTUS. He's not.
Sounds like he's following in the path that John Dean has recognized:
Donald Trump’s tactics are conspicuous to anyone who follows his actions, and can be reduced to two (sic) overriding activities: (1) He lies consistently and persistently; (2) he cheats whenever the opportunity presents itself to do so, and (3) he tries to intimidate everyone with whom he deals.
Try to make sense of "There was no meddling. Sad!" "At this private meeting, I need your loyalty." "I'm firing the guy looking into this." "OK there was meddling, but it didn't affect me. FAKE NEWS!" "Of course there was meddling - who said there wasn't? And what about that other guy - it's all his fault!"
Without being distracted by pointing fingers at everyone else, let's sit with what we have: Our/Your President is a liar. We cannot trust him. There is no second choice there. The answer is not "but her emails."
