White House Leaks: Trump is easily triggered

[Sorshen]

Did you win a medal for that long-distance logical leap?

Did they say something mean about my Trump? Raise the Hilary placards!

[Wyrt]

Good. I hope people keep pissing him off. Those pending lawsuits of him violating the constitution should be great fun to watch.

[HHHGame78]

I doubt he lasts 4 years before resigning and handing his mess over to Pence.

Leaking Trump is easily triggered, would be like leaking Hillary is a bitch.

True, but to many of his supporters, they refuse to acknowledge such things even when it is brought up to their face and will actively make excuses to dismiss it.

[Quincey]

As a Trump voter I definitely question my sanity when casting that vote... but thinking about voting for Hilary still gives me the willies.

Bernie though... especially this entire last month, has really made my nether regions moist. Hope he stays alive long enough and tries to run again in 4 years.

Either him or Biden would make excellent presidents.

And michelle obama sometime after that..

In the event DT does actually do some damage to the presidency in his 4 years (for the record, I'm holding out hope that he might surprise us) at least you have some decent prospects on the horizon.

also for the record. I still think better him than Hillary.

[Edge-]

How long do you think before the White House starts lying about economic statistics?

They'll use alternative metrics to deliver alternative facts!

[Daedius]

Seriously, why have Trumpkins such a boner on Hillary? She lost to your candidate, get over it!

The hilarity of this comment -- considering this forum gets a Trump thread every 30 minutes, even before the elections.

BTW, I ain't a "Trumpkin", I ain't a fan of either of them - they're both disgusting beings, but I find Hillary to be more so... and am honestly sick of seeing this forum swamped with nothing but Trump threads...

To actually show them in the real world protesting and speaking their minds instead of statistics and text through a computer screen. To show that people being against Trump isn't "fake news" and there's a substantial amount of them willing to get out in the streets and protest against his actions. As much as Trump and his team wish it were so, you can't fall something "fake" when it's staring you right in the face in the real world and not the twittersphere

Especially when the president is insisting that he really won the popular vote because 5 million illegals in California voted. Guess which state had the largest amount of people protesting in the women's march?

Yes, it's a common trait I see in both parties.

[Berndorf]

The Washington Post is right leaning, though. It didn't endorse Clinton during the election, iirc they supported the libertarian candidate.

In any case, "media bias" is not relevant when one can watch what Trump/his press secretary says for themselves.

Washington Post right leaning? Get real. Regardless of how you want to characterize it politically its been extremely anti Trump for the last year or so which has also coincided with his feud with Jeff Bezos(who owns both Amazon and the Washington Post). The Post and Bezos both hate Trump.

[Glorious Leader]

I agree. So you agree with me that the lefts marches are pointless?

Not at all. My point was that their seems to be a very selective outrage machine. Theyre all welcome to protest.

True, but it's funny to watch the "triggering" on this thread.

I hope he surprises us to, but at this point, that ship has already set sail after looking at what he has done preparing for the role along with his picks and then combined with just his first few days, I really don't see it as a remote possibility. He would rather go scorched earth or walk away before he ever gave up on what he wants and accepted reality.

I can understand your point, but I think you take the "fake news" idea way too far here. No one thinks the tens of millions of votes not for Trump were fake. Even those who believe there may be a component of voters who are "illegals", would not claim such a thing. No one in this country questions the voracity of the left and their fight for their causes. Most of us have to put up with it daily. It's annoying. Your opinions are not more valuable because you get in others faces and scream them loudest. Interfering with our daily lives because female contraception isn't free, is annoying, just annoying.

It's like they need "alternative fortresses", since "safe space" is already taken.

We won't really know until the next election. The reason there were so many people out there are because the left is an activist group. A community organizer on steroids. It's what they do. It's the same group of people that thinks posting a hashtag cause on their twitters is changing the world.

No, the reason they were out there is because Trump is widely loathed. As stated the protest was the biggest since those against the Vietnam war. If its because the left is activist, then name me the other times in recent history people have come out in such numbers in support of leftist causes.

I doubt he lasts 4 years before resigning and handing his mess over to Pence.

Despite Trump winning the POTUS, the GOP actually has the ability to coup d'etat him in literally an afternoon - bloodlessly - and put Pence in charge, just by collectively claiming Trump isn't mentally fit for the role of POTUS. They don't need the approval of any Democrats, they don't need a Senatorial or Congressional or Judicial hearing, or anything like that. Literally all the people who would need to agree to such a coup are GOP insiders - Reince Preibus, Paul Ryan, Mike Pence, etc.

If he puts out a particularly weird tweet, they could all choose to collectively claim he's no longer mentally fit for office - and he loses all power on the spot. There is also virtually no official channel by which Trump could retake power once ousted in this way, except for the same GOP'rs to revoke their previous claim.

Notably, they don't need to prove insanity - as you might expect - because maintaining the chain of command is so vital to national security, the mere idea of Trump's unfitness is enough to oust him.

Trump clearly thinks he won the popular vote.

[Fugus]

Agreed, I have seen too a few on the Democrat side who still refuse to admit that Clinton worked with the DNC and the media in an attempt to rig the primaries. They keep trying to claim she did nothing wrong and the only reason she won was because she was the better candidate and then blame Sanders on her losing the general and not the facts of what she had done.

[Fojos]

I can see it with my own eyes he is easily triggered, therefore this story doesn't sound far stretched.

This is how plebs confirm their bias. Luckily none of you work with research.
