Could be Trump?

[odeon]

Actually Trump is that thin-skinned, Al. If you don't believe it you just haven't been paying attention or have basic comprehension issues. Or both--the two frequently go together, now that I think about it.

It's kind of sweet that you seem to completely ignore anything that goes against your beliefs--which is pretty much everything--but hey, we all have our heroes and thus our blind spots.

They come even in his absence, leaning against the metal barriers that line Fifth Avenue, posing for selfies and group photos or just gazing up at the soaring black tower that is home to Donald J. Trump, the president-elect of the United States.

On a recent evening, with Mr. Trump out of town for a victory lap in Indiana and Ohio, a stream of tourists from around the world paused to take in the Midtown Manhattan building emblazoned with his name. A man hawking political buttons exclaimed, “It’s a feeding frenzy!” Sarah Britcher, a teacher from West Virginia, said she and her friends had been shopping in the area and made a point of stopping by Trump Tower.

“It seems like a more important building than it was before,” Ms. Britcher, 29, said. “We just wanted to make sure we could pass by and see it.” Another passer-by fumed to her companion, “I wish I could throw something at it.”

Mr. Trump has long been an intermittent source of irritation for New Yorkers, from his days as a tabloid exhibitionist to the long months of the 2016 campaign. But that clash has reached a new and potentially explosive phase since Nov. 8, as he has transformed his signature building — home to his penthouse apartment and business headquarters, and previously his campaign office — into a base of operations for his frenzied presidential transition.

New York has never before given the nation a president so disliked by its own voters. The last New York native to have won the presidency, Franklin D. Roosevelt, earned a festive serenade from throngs of his neighbors in Hyde Park in 1940 to celebrate his historic re-election to a third term. In contrast, Mr. Trump’s victory touched off days of angry protests in Midtown, where demonstrators chanted, “New York hates Trump.”

It is you that has not been paying attention and who's comprehension is lacking. The reason is because of your ideology. That same ideology that has you falling all over yourself to "defend Muslims" from people who are discussing the effect of radical Islamic extremism. That is YOU. You and your blind spots.

But here is where confirmation bias comes in. I EXPECT Trump will fuck up. Not with everything but along the way in the next 4 years. I do not think he is a "nice" guy. I would not probably like him as a friend or relative. But unlike you, I am prepared to look at him an Clinton and acknowledge from a couple of bad options, he was the best. I am also not that much of a slave to confirmation bias as you are, that I will spend the next 4 years looking for every opportunity to shoot him down in flames.

That is you too. If your blind spots were any larger you would need the help of cane, white dog to and radio propaganda from Lord Haw Haw about how wonderful Granny Satan is and how nasty Trump is.

Who knows? He could be the first world leader to start a war because of butthurt over a tweet.

The only person butthurt is Clinton, who was crying hysterically in her hotel room and drunkenly trying to attack people

Trump is full of hot air.

Anyone that's followed him in the news the last 30+ years knows how full of hot air he is and what a narcissistic fuck he can be.

"Look at me, look at me, look how wonderful,
powerful, .and brilliant I am...look at all the great things I've done so far. Let me twitter about them.

Don't you dare disagree with me, or I will troll you."


If it wasn't so sad and creating so much division among everyone, it would actually be fun to watch.   

It sort of reminds me of how Nixon used to drunk dial people.

Mass murdering, pathological lying psychopath- narcissistic troll.

I didn't expect you to admit your issues. Luckily what you think (or rather don't) is of very little consequence to anyone.

It sounds to me like a bad case of projection but then I don't expect you to admit your shortcomings.

Here is the difference though, I do not know if Trump is going to be good, bad or indifferent. I am open to either possibility. I know he talks a big game and I expect a lot of it is hot air. I know him to be a flawed human. I am also open to the fact that he may do good too.

You are not. One of us may have issues, but I hardly think that is me.

Someone like Kasuch, Rubio or Cruz may have been a "better choice" than Trump, but would have been murdered by Hillary.

Actually, the polls showed that any of those 3, Kasich especially, would've easily beaten Clinton because of her high negatives.

At this stage you arent saying that you trust the polls, right?

Trump easily handle each of those three. She would have too. With the media and the establishment on side, even smooth clean Marco Rubio would have been fitted up. Poor old Ted would have been stitched up worst of all.

  Nixon drunk-dialed?  How funny!  I wonder if Trump is a drunk tweeter.

No he does not drink or do drugs. His older brother died of alcoholism very young and he swore off both.

"Hey did you hear the one about Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq. They are there, perhaps we should invade them because of it. Whoops. lol"

What about the video that resulted in Benghazi?

I think at the moment what we KNOW is that there was hacking. That COULD have definitely have come from Russian sources. DID it absolutely? No one knows. It is best guess. If it did come from Russia or a Russian, was it done with knowledge of Vladimir Putin or the Russian Government? No idea.

Would it be the height of dishonest calling this fact and retaliating against Putin based on this as suggested in the Clinton New Network's article? Of course.

Al is right, he doesn't drink.

Which makes it even more scary. 

The jury is out on the drugs, coke always flowed freely at his parties as it did with most, but if he does it (and I really have to agree with Carrie Fisher on this one though)...he's smart enough to do it behind closed doors so no one can see.

Something to keep watching. I think it's only just begun.

I just can't understand what took them so long.
