Topic: Typhoid Trump: the not-smart, corrupt, coward, loser, thread

[west_london_red]

No - everyone already knows he's a misogynistic, womanising creep and any new evidence proving that won't affect things. 

What I mean is some indisputable evidence that proves that he has carried out an illegal and corrupt act - someting that can be put in front of him and cannot be denied (even by him).

I'm basically wishing in vain that he gets locked up for something before he's even started his term.  I mean, people get imprisoned for having too many parking fines - and yet this corrupt idiot continues to escape? 

Im sure collaborating with a foreign security agency is a crime if its proven he accepted money and support from Russian security services.

[killer-heels]

Most of the nutters with guns and a chip on their shoulder voted for him and practically worship him. He'd have to monumentally fuck up for them to turn against him.

There was always going to be a huge amount of people voting for him and thats a reality of some of the people that reside in that country (and in other parts of the world, including the UK).

But thats not what won him the presidency. He won it thanks to converting the voters in the rust belt and winning the EC. Those people don't worship Trump but will expect some results in terms of jobs and prosperity. If Trump can keep good on his promise on that then he will get a pass on this whole Russia thing.

[classycarra]

I am starting to think that, assuming he manages to avoid starting a nuclear holocaust, it would be far better in the long term if he sees out the 4 years without being assassinated, impeached or forced to resign by the "The Fourth Estate". I want him to make an absolute abortion of his presidency and Republican majority rule to the point that his most ardent supporters turn on him and he gets absolutely dicked on in 2020. If he isn't allowed to fuck up completely his supporters will still support his "policies" and will accuse the liberals of deposing him and there'll be plenty of support for another demagogue to step in with the same policies. 

There's certainly an argument that it'll take him trying and failing independently for the US to effectively move on and progress. There's a century-old precedent (still sadly going strong) for that sort of honourable defeat in the deep south - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_Cause_of_the_Confederacy

What kind of hard evidence would you consider might have an impact? For example, if he was caught on tape, saying in his own voice, that he had sexually assaulted women and thought it was a perk of the job?

The alleged video of him hiring prostitutes to urinate in the bed that the Obama's stayed in at the Ritz in Moscow. That would probably be the stuff of impeachment ammunition.

Nah.  Impeachment is a process in which an official is charged with unlawful activity while in office.

Also, there's one very important thing you have to remember about Trump and his morally dubious actions:

That's all he knows. He's a pitchman for other corporations. He doesn't build anything himself - he gets paid to front his name on buildings for other developers. That's what he's going to do these next 4 years - shill his name as president to the highest bidder.

Not necessarily. "Most impeachments have concerned alleged crimes committed while in office, though there have been a few cases in which Congress has impeached and convicted officials partly for prior crimes." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impeachment_in_the_United_States

Edit. The alleged video is not a crime however, I appreciate that.

[Trada]

Trouble is now any bad story about him he will just call Fake News.

[telekon]

In addition, all the conflict of interest issues that are more or less bound to happen, may also risk impeachment.

[elsewhere]

i don't think he will finish 4 years as president, he will find a way to fuck it up by putting his own business interests first.

[Yorkykopite]

And even when it is fake news there will be millions who will believe it because he's the one denying it. Live by the Lie die by the Lie.

It gets better. He meant to tag L L Bean, a clothing store, but instead directed everyone to a lobster restaurant.

Exactly right, and this is what makes his presidency so fucking scary.

[Red Beret]

Basically in Trump's mind the only true news stories going around about him are the good ones.  Everything else is fake media lies who have an agenda to unlawfully unseat him from office - at which point he will call for us followers to rise up with their guns and overthrow the government.

It certainly is a Buy American policy.

A Yank startup could request a shoutout and his tweet could mean big biz.

Frontman, shill, salesman. 

He's the best.

But who does he put first?  America or The Trump Corporation?

Would he sell out America for an empire on the Black Sea?

Well if people started offering him stuff to do it then at least there's a case for a conflict-of-interest impeachment.  Abusing the office of the Presidency etc.

Hopefully he's too dumb to keep his gob shut and boasts about it left right and centre.  On the other hand, he's probably so dumb people will be able to get  him to tweet without actually paying him anything.  They just have to say nice things about him.

The pound has strengthened by a cent against the dollar since the Trump press conference began


So every time May speaks, the pound drops. Every time Trump speaks, the dollar drops.

I just wish that the penny would drop...

This guy will swap missile positions for a Moscow airport hotel franchise.

[KillieRed]

Im sure collaborating with a foreign security agency is a crime if its proven he accepted money and support from Russian security services.

Collaborating with a foreign power to undermine the democratic process of your own country is treason.

#TraitorTrump

If there is any foundation in the allegations he at best benefitted from the actions of a foreign power to meddle in the election.

[Gnurglan]

I find it somewhat amusing that the Republican party of Ronald Reagan, which though it had destroyed the Evil Empire is now has its own President in the Empires pocket.

Surely there is more to come - the leaking of a tape or something just as concrete. With the amount of hacking, the number of government agencies involved theres got to be more to come?

That would be the same Reagan who said "tear down this wall", while one of Trump's main messages is he will build a great wall on the southern border. It's quite ironic.

[Gnurglan]

Nice one.

Yes, that's how he sees new stories. And because he'll be President, he will be news. Media will have to cover what he says. So expect him to flood the media with nonsense to counter negative stories.

Is there any possibility that Trump's people leaked the report? Far-fetched maybe, but there's a lot of Russian connections that are real with him and they kind have got buried a bit in the salaciousness of the golden showers! He also managed to casually flip flop on it been the Russians that did the hacking without getting any scrutiny on why he has said for six months that it wasn't. I will put it this way, if he didn't leak it then he should have.

[Red-Soldier]

Baldwin has said that he's going to take his Trump on the road 

[Team Sleep]

BBC report.

And Comey sent that fucking letter in October?  He should be in fucking jail for corrupting the political process.

I saw this the other day and thought it interesting that FISA rejected it twice, because:

FISA Court Has Rejected .03 Percent Of All Government Surveillance Requests

After last week's revelations extensive National Security Agency surveillance of phone and internet communications, President Barack Obama made it a point to assure Americans that, not to worry, there is plenty of oversight of his administration's snooping programs. "We've got congressional oversight and judicial oversight," he said Friday, referring in part to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC), which was created in 1979 to oversee Department of Justice requests for surveillance warrants against foreign agents suspected of espionage or terrorism in the United States. But the FISC has declined just 11 of the more than 33,900 surveillance requests made by the government in 33 years, the Wall Street Journal reported Sunday. That's a rate of .03 percent, which raises questions about just how much judicial oversight is actually being provided.

http://www.motherjones.com/mojo/2013/06/fisa-court-nsa-spying-opinion-reject-request

Didn't deny any of the 1,457 requests in 2015 either.

I'd sincerely hope that wouldn't result in impeachment. Water sports and hiring prostitures are not my thing but the world would be far better if people's sexual preferences were nobody's business but their own.

The pettiness (if it's all true) suggest that his petulance and need for revenge make him unsuitable for high office.

The way he's acted from him announcing he was running to actually becoming President makes him unsuitable, hasn't stopped him from being elected.

Justice department now launching an investigarion into FBI conduct around election - including Comey letter. Fucking hell.

4/1 to be impeached within his first year apparently.  Wonder what odds were for 'normal' presidents?

[BarryCrocker]

The longer he stays President the richer he'll be at the end. Someone else will just have to clean up his mess and of course he'll still have the mantle of being a POTUSA. He needs to be booted for something deemed to be corrupt for there to be change. Tarnished to the point that no one will ever deal with him again.
