Has now had a pop at Prof. Ford's testimony a couple of days after calling it compelling.

He's not even trying to maintain a front of consistency.

Or decency. He's utterly disgusting.

Reminds me of John Lee Hooker, One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer. Pretty good delivery, it has to be said.

I always thought it would be Trump's past financial conduct, including tax evasion, which would be his undoing. However, he isn't held to same standard as anyone else who has been in politics. It seems he can say/do anything and go untouched. Anybody else who had started the 'birther' conspiracy about Obama, for example, wouldn't have been able to run for the presidency, let alone win it. It's reached the stage where he can seemingly do anything and survive. Perhaps he was right: maybe he could shoot someone in broad daylight in New York but get off.

We'll see what happens, but I suspect his supporters will cry 'media conspiracy' and the Republicans in Congress will protect him.

It says more about the American electorate than about Trump tbh.

It's mental. I saw somewhere that the biggest Presidential scandal for Obama was when he saluted two soldiers whilst he was holding a cup of coffee. (I haven't fact-checked this, so I could well be wrong).

This performance was disgusting though, on the back of disrespectful remarks to a female journalist, the guy is a grade A welt.

Given what has happened already, it's hard to see what will catch him out eventually. He seems to be made of Teflon.

I'm convinced that he's really Mike Myers having us all on.

It's about time someone took a tough stance on gun ownership.

Who will hand in their guns, the good guys, or the bad guys?

Sensible would be to make all those who get caught with guns the bad guys.

He is a first class twat.Opens his mouth and spouts absolute garbage.

My daughter, something of a rabid liberal herself, went long to the trump rally in West Virginia the other night (the one where he declared the mutual love he and Kim Jong Un have) as she is studying not far away and thought it would be interesting.
Her view was that it was monstrously depressing. The crowd (not anywhere near full despite the claim of 10,000 waiting to get in - I saw the pics) howled at everything, and content was crass, totally lacking any substance and rambling beyond coherence.
A thoroughly squalid event, by all accounts.

Going to need a bigger boat.

I thought that was a prerequisite for any political post?

It's hard to be shocked by anything in the Trump presidency, but this actually is shocking.

Trump has a very public argument with a CNN reporter ‘You are a rude, terrible person.’

Have to say, don't think the CNN reporter came across that good.

Blatant lie. They've wanted to punish him by revoking his pass and if they can potentially trash his reputation with ‘the base’ some more, all the better.

***Hibernia&Alba*** · 08-11-2018 06:35 AM

Jeff Sessions sacked as Attorney General. It's been reported for months that Sessions was for the tin tack, due to recusing himself from the Mueller investigation. That's the thanks he gets for giving up a senate seat and being the first big name to endorse Trump. He's a digusting person, so don't feel pity for him.

Reporter was absolutely fine. Trump used various avoidance techniques which the reporter refused to be obstructed by, so Trump then tried to bully his way out of it

He shouldn't have touched her arm, if he'd grabbed her by the p**sy he'd have been fine.

To be fair the press conference was about the mid term elections and the reporter was going on about Russia when Trump shut him down , the Russia thing was 2016 but Acosta cant help himself from bringing it up every time he's near a camera/microphone.

To be really fair it's an on going investigation and the results of the midterms mean the democrats have a better chance of perusing the accusations.

I suspect the other reporters who couldn't get a question in might sympathise with the president's comment. However, the phrase "takes one to know one" has rarely been more apposite.

***silverhibee*** · 08-11-2018 05:16 PM

For a wee 2nd I thought Trump was going to try and grab the mic from the reporter.

Trump not attending the cemetery for the fallen American soldiers because of the weather... He's sending a woman instead (Kelly and his wife).

Will be hard to spin that, even to his base.

It will be interesting to see the reaction to this given the hysterical nonsense, orchestrated by Trump, about the NFL anthem protesters 'disrespecting the military'.

His base won't care; he can do anything and still retain their support. Remember when he said John McCain wasn't a war hero because 'heroes don't get captured'. This from a guy who obtained multiple deferrals (draft dodging) from Vietnam because of 'bone spurs' in his heels. His supporters looked past that. He's totally fireproof.
