Mega-Thread: Trump Focused Discussion

[Edge-]

Remember those sanctions that the Trump administration is nearly a full month late on implementing?

The shut down the office that oversees sanctions policy. It's now literally just one guy.

[Breccia]

It's now literally just one guy.

"The State Department declined to comment."

Well duh, apparently that's just one guy, too :P

[Mormolyce]

What's up with Supreme court judge nomination (and confirmation)? why is that such a proud achievement they riding on it so hard?

Because they essentially stole it from Obama. Plays well to the rubes.

But he's not controlled by Putin or anything

[Blur4stuff]

Trump and the republicans haven't accomplished much of anything. Most of it can easily be undone by the next administration.

The biggest thing to point to, as others mentioned, is the supreme court appointment. But, that really has nothing to do with Trump. McConnell and others perverted our democracy to pull that one off. The end result would still be true with president Kasich or Rubio.

This will be their biggest problem between now and 2020. They aren't actually doing anything beneficial. It one thing to be lost in your ideology and pretend that taking healthcare further right or cutting taxes on the wealthy is a great idea. When reality hits and people suffer it changes votes.

Some folks will still vote republican even when their lives get worse, sure. But, there are millions of people who will vote dem or not at all because of how badly republicans and Trump are doing.

And it's arguably the only thing he's accomplished so far.

[Mormolyce]

I wouldn't really call rubberstamping that an accomplishment.

Hence the word "arguably"

[Breccia]

Until recently, @Skroe and I might have added the Russian sanctions that Trump signed, crying like a bitch.

But he's made zero attempts to enforce them, as @Edge- has said.

So, yeah. That's it, so far.

So....Trump apparently invited the White House press corps kids into the Oval Office while they were dressed up for Halloween in an attempt to do something nice. I'll say it's one of the more "human" moments I've seen from him.

But he still can't stop himself from making odd comments (joking about kids weights?) and remarking about how he's a victim of the media.

At least he tried : |

Well they're finally moving on the sanctions front.

3 weeks late, but the threats finally motivated them.

[Breccia]

*ahem*

"potential".

Potential Russian sanctions.

They're not technically late: they have nothing.

Trump is fucking desperate for approval. He needs people to tell him he's good and they love him so much, but he's got so little to work with, that he's going with handing chocolate to children.

Yep, there's totally room for him to be making comments on other people's weight . . .

Literally the first thing he did in office was lie about a triviality like the size of his inauguration crowd.

Seven months later, the prototypes of The Wall are finished.

Then they bake in the sun for 30 days.

Then they get tested for 30 to 60 days.

Then they...long story short. Construction in ten months, maybe more.

Oh, and there's still no funding.

Mattis: North Korea threat has ‘accelerated’

Not sure if North Korea is being brought up as a deflection (seeing as how there are no new developments), or if they're taking advantage of Trump's chaos in the WH. Neither option is redeeming.

[Kontinuum]

While not at all presidential I must point out that the Sloppy Michael Moore Show on Broadway was a TOTAL BOMB and was forced to close. Sad!

lol
I think Michael Moore is a hack, but his show was limited run for 12 weeks and ran its entire run.

I like the first reply to that.

"Why start being presidential now...."

[Cthulhu 2020]

When Trump met with the remaining Senate GOPers that he hasn't insulted to the point of unworkability yet, the meeting was hailed as a success, because nobody called anyone an ignorant slut.

No really. That's an exact quote from a GOP Senator.

That's where the bar is, ladies and gentlemen. A meeting with Trump is considered positive, if it doesn't devolve into personal insults.

That sound you hear is the bar dragging along the ocean floor.

I keep thinking the bar is somewhere along the Marianas Trench, but then it goes even lower, and somehow we're still not there...
