Don’t treat Donald Trump as if he’s a normal president. He’s not

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/jan/14/donald-trump-not-normal-president-congress-theresa-may

I thought this was an interesting take on the situation. Unfortunately I don't see any western politicians breaking with tradition and protocol any time soon as they won't want to get on the wrong side of him. Maybe the Chinese will treat him like the fraud he is if he keeps going as he is.

I'm not saying that May would be right to cosy up to Trump, but the UK seem to be in a difficult position. It has distanced itself from the EU and the US are the only other suitable partner out there. I'd Definitely keep some kind of distance to Trump. However, I'd also try and stay a bit closer than some of the other European leaders. Merkel will keep away from Trump as much as she can, because most Germans see him for what he is. I'd say that is true for quite a lot of the EU. It's mostly right wing and v populist parties who seem to support Trump. However, even their supporters are probably wary of him.

Brexit and Trump are prime indicators that the Deplorables (the lunatic fringe, not the frustrated disenfranchised) see their views validated by the ballot. 

The Age of Terrorism has caused Liberalism to once more become a negative quality that implies weakness and failure.

Theo Padnos:  Watch his HardTalk interview.

And how the fuck is it possible that someone who could not pass muster to be in his own Cabinet can become the POTUS?

All future candidates should be uniformly vetted to prevent clever clowns from stealing elections.

Interesting article by Polly Toynbee in the Guardian that says that when she interviewed him years back he had utter contempt for the UK and there's no reason to believe he's changed his mind. The Art of the Deal is a shite book but it's how he operates. Cosying up to Trump will be seen as a sign of weakness. He is going to shaft us in every way he can. There will be no special relationship if he can fuck us over.

Judge him by his friend - the other chancer, Nigel. At least the real Nazis had the occasional Night of the Long Knives to thin out the pricks.

He probably hates the UK because Diana wouldn't date him and the Scots won't roll over.

He's a fool for flattery.  Leaders should fawn over the fat fucker and watch his head explode.

Donald Trump and Theresa May.

It actually makes me nostalgic for Blair and Bush.

His great plan to Make America Great Again is to make everything else shit again, and damn the political fallout.  It's like Old Tories pining for the grandeur of the empire.  Idiotic and delusional.

Close up of Trump's folders from the press conference:



Not surprised that they seem to be blank as you can't really sign a document willing away your conflicts of interest when you continue to hold financial and familial interest in the business. Just showmanship from a man who knows his supporters will wash this away too or just say "look at how many papers he's signed!".

Charlatan.

Yes, the white rich boy who dodged the draft 5 times telling a black man who got his head split open during a civil rights march from Selma to Montgomery that the man's all talk, no action.

Fucking privileged orange buffoon.

My congresswoman Nydia Velasquez is one of the first 8 20 to announce a boycott of the "illegitimate" bastard.

Just retribution for his birther exploits.

I have no doubt that the small fingered one has no earthly idea who John Lewis is, beyond the fact that he's a congressman from Atlanta. He also automatically assumed he represents a slum inner city area, when it looks pretty nice and is the corporate HQ of Coca-Cola, Delta Airlines and a bunch of other large companies.

Well the bigoted, racist son of a racist slum landlord probably assumes that all black people live in slums.

Someone pointed out that the civil rights legislation that the likes of Lewis helped usher in was what enabled the DOJ to sue slum landlord Trump and his dad for racial discrimination. I'd say that was action and results, rather than talk, talk, talk.

[jambutty]

Just a correction, imo, none of the Trumps were slum landlords. 

Fred's buildings were low to middle income units built as bastions against the slums. 

They did not rent to blacks afaik.

But we (the UK government and the Brexit press) are desperate for a deal for PR purposes to sell to the masses. We are going to get TTIP+, and its going to be a disaster but at least we can shout we got a trade deal! It won't matter that, as his aide Wilbur Ross said, a trade deal will be used to steal busines from the UK- all that matters now is that action happens that looks good and can be claimed as a success. We are goind to get bent over.horribly

[GreatEx]

The deal will generate twenty-two new greenkeeping jobs on Trump-brand golf courses and spawn a month's worth of self-congratulatory Frottage tweets. Supporters/Kremlin spambots will be enthralled. 35% of Scotland will then disappear beneath the sea.

The only question now is when. When people will open their eyes, when they will see who he really is and what he's all about. It should be impossible for him to keep doing like this. At some point he will have to answer questions instead of throwing out statements.

Trump is, to borrow one of those statements from him, a terrible man.

Sadly, once again something that should sink him will only make him stronger. In living rooms across the country (well, parts of it), the word "uppity" will occur with increased frequency tonight.

For now. We shall see what happens when people realize that there is no end to the madness.

Read a column in a Swedish newspaper today, from a reporter who lives in the US. The proposed Secretary of Defence is for the deal with Iran and against torture. The candidate for Secretary of State likes NATO, but not Putin. The boss for Homeland Security thinks a wall to Mexico is pointless. The boss of the CIA is already in a battle with Trump regarding their intelligence reports. They are not even representing the same views as Trump. The boss of the Department of Energy wants to get rid of it. The list just goes on and on.

It will be a disaster if this is anything to go by. Initially Trump will blame things on others. He'll fire them and hire new staff. That will make him look strong. But time will catch up with him. Guaranteed.

[Gnurglan]

The usual. It will be a pissing contest with Putin or CNN.

[So… Howard Philips]

I don't know why anyone is surprised by Trump's catty comments about a Democrat civil rights hero when he made similar childish comments about a Republican Vietnam war hero.

If anyone remembers "Just William" Trump comes across as the Violet Elizabeth Bott character.

[Red Beret]

But time will catch up with him. Guaranteed.

Yeah.  Like I said, it's just a question of how much damage he does in the meantime and how easily that damage can be fixed.
