The Trump Administration (just Trump) Thread

Trump has a problem with snitches. He should hang out with Carmelo Anthony.

 

[Mr. Orange]

It looks like you forgot one. I wonder why?

 

[TyGuy]

So everybody that has referred to North Korea as a shithole in privacy is a racist.

 

[Kiddo]

Not on purpose.

Nigeria is a shithole. I'm not aware of those comments about the hut.

Wait ... what??

Why is Nigeria a shithole? Upon what basis could you possibly assert this as a fact?

It's not racist to suggest a place that is a dumpsterfire is a dumpsterfire. Not in good taste, sure. Racist? No.

Again, you're late. We've been over this already about why it's ignorant and the rest of his comments make it blatantly racist. That's not even a debate.

You defending it is racist too, in case that wasn't clear.

Did you forget about North Korea? Or is it okay to call them a shithole?

Standing by what Trump said says everything about you and nothing about me.

I could keep going on and on....

SUCCESS! Donald Trump, President of the United States of America has had a very successful 1st year in office. Oh and his approval rating climbing...Just wait until the tax cuts start happening.

Can you teach me some native Russian later?

It's been real being back here for 12 hours... But now I remember why I left these threads in the first place. I'm back to lurking.

 

[The Human Q-Tip]

There is no way such a comment remains private in such a setting.

Oh, I'm quite sure a lot of Presidents have made non-public comments that the people present chose not to make public because it might hurt the country.

I'd be interested in knowing who leaked this, and to ask them what they hoped to accomplish. Because for all the claims that they "care about the country", their political motivations clearly triumphed over that.

And I don't think for a moment thay is limited to this incident.

Let me ask you this...

If Trump used the n-word in a private meeting with Democratic lawmakers; do those lawmakers not have a responsibility to their constituents, Black and White alike, to inform them of what they heard?

The country has a right to know something like that, right?

So while this situation is different, the general idea that lawmakers have a responsibility to protect the President, I think, is a bit flawed when it comes to instances where the President says something so divisive and damaging.

 

[Binkster]

It baffles me how many of you are willing to go down with the sinking ship. Of all the hills to die on - defending racism and xenophobic rhetoric should not be it.

I thought most of you had a line that could not be crossed. I should have known better after the staunch defense of Roy Moore.

The real issue in my mind is that this speaks volumes to the actually policy that he wants. That make it relevant, and that makes it important for the American people to know.

I’m sorry this place isn’t enough of an echo chamber to your liking. I have some forums to suggest.
