I remember Omarosa from when I used to watch The Apprentice. The biggest issue with her was her laziness, she just wanted to sit back and let everyone else do the work on the tasks and them blame everyone else as being the reason they lost the task. Trump fired her because she was lazy and couldn't play well with others. So apparently those traits are now exactly what he wants in his White House staff. But she's attractive and has massive fake boobs - so she must be qualified for the role. His obsession with breasts is beyond creepy, bordering on the repulsive. When Tiffany was a baby, Trump and his then-wife Marla were interviewed for a show. They presented their baby, Tiffany, and he said, "She has Marla's legs." Then he holds his hands in front of his breasts and says, "We don't know if she's got this part yet, but time will tell." This was a baby...not even a year old. Disgusting. . His comments about Ivanka are gross as well, which makes me think even more poorly of her role as "stand in First Lady". Yuck.

I can't, I just can't. These tweets from tiny hands regarding our Intelligence Agency and his distrust in it is getting us in deep 💩.
I just saw a piece on Vice News how agents are getting disgusted with the prez elect tweets and some are possibly thinking of leaving their post if everything they do is going to be disputed. What is that telling other countries? Good grief, someone please, for the love of all that's holy, take that damn phone away.
PLUS!!! PLUS!!! This is his own personal phone. Talk about a hacker's wet dream to hack into that bad boy.

I get people voting for him because they wanted to vote Republican. I am okay with that, well not really but at least I can understand it. What I cannot comprehend is how they defend his stupidity with illogical arguments and lies. Literally, it scares me. It's like they have been DECEIVED. It's like a cult. I don't think I am exaggerating. He is definitely a classic narcissistic personality with bully thrown in for good measure. Most of all, he is a LIAR! I cannot for the life of me understand how they defend the lies and think that isn't wrong.
I am a Christian and beyond appalled at the evangelicals voting for him. I wonder why they don't read this verse and obey it.
2 Timothy 3:1-8New International Version (NIV)
3 But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.
Only thing I can't check mark on this list is "disobedient to their parents."
I wish someone would tweet that scripture to Mike Pence. My twitter account is for work.

You almost need to bathe after reading his lewd comments about his own daughters. (I have my own opinions about Ivanka that are not complimentary. She aided her father in defrauding buyers in a Mexican resort development. Ended up in CA court. Buyers were bilked $22M-$30M. And not the only time this happened.)

trump tweeted again and I wasn't going to put it here because the reality is, it could become a full time job. But this tweet developed a twist. "Toyota Motor said will build a new plant in Baja, Mexico, to build Corolla cars for US. NO WAY! Build plant in US or pay big border tax." Problem Toyota is shifting jobs from Canada to this new plant in Mexico. So either tiny hands didn't know this before he fired off his threatening tweet. Or he did and he is letting certain companies know if they want to avoid a "border tax" they have to build the product in the US. If he tweeted threatening a company without knowing the facts is certainly bad. But if he did know the facts and is threatening that if you want to sell your product in the US then it needs to be built in the US "or else" is just as bad. The fact is the greatest potential for growth for US companies is outside the US. We start adding "border taxes" to products because they aren't built in this country my guess is other countries will do it to US products. But does anyone really know what tiny hands mean? That is another problem with his tweets. Talking big about everything needing to be made in America satisfies his base, who don't seem to be able to think past their initial reaction to his statements. "Yeah! Everything should be made in America. See, I told you Trump was going to bring the jobs! Oh wait....now our companies aren't going to be able to make it because they have to pay workers more here, AND they aren't going to be able to affor the taxes that the other companies impose to sell there? I didn't think of that." But by that time it is too late. That is, if Trump even stands behind his threats (which I hope he doesn't in most cases). Maybe with all of the regulation rollbacks they want to implement, U.S. employers will be able to get by with making people here work under sweatshop conditions like they do overseas, longer hours for lower pay, kill those pesky and expensive safety and environmental rules, etc. so they can be more competitive with the prices of what they make.

OMG- aside from his complete lack of understanding of what he is talking about this is just so completely absurd, ridiculous, scary- not even enough words- but for the PE to be talking about major issues and making statements/threats like this over twitter- it's just so bizarre and ridiculous. Like his ideas or not, this is not the way to do politics or communicate policy. I also really hate how he makes everything into him and his supporters against the enemy. Having a difference of opinion or disagreeing with someone does not make someone your enemy. There is no room left anymore for rational, reasoned discussion and compromise.

It could happen--Trumpster is not in favor of a higher minimum wage, in fact he's Calais that American workers get paid too much. He's going to create sweatshop conditions--it's the only thing he knows about labor.

I'll tell you what is very very concerning is that the US and allied countries share highly classified intelligence.In doing so there is a high level of trust between them that it will still be kept highly classified once that info has been passed to the other. Other countries will think very carefully about what they share in the future, to the possible detriment of your security as well as their own, if once they share what they've got with your intelligence, they find a couple of days later it's also shared or refuted on Twitter for all the world to see by Trump! The man isn't safe to know such highly classified intelligence.

Every time I read comments on political articles (or sometimes just regular local news articles) I lose a little more faith in humanity. However, after reading the comments on the announcement that Megyn Kelly was leaving fox, as well as on John MCCains Facebook page last night, I am even less hopeful that rational, kind, intelligent people will be able to overcome this stupidity. I don't know how to get back to using facts for information rather than emotions and believing anything that goes along with what you want to believe. Pointing out that there are fake news stories has done no good, because they fail to understand what is fact and what is opinion. I also don't understand the blind faith that they have in Trump. What has he done to earn that? Even on his victory tour he seemed to be admitting that a lot of what he said was just for public approval and to get people pumped up and win votes. It is disheartening to see the country go in this direction. What happened on McCain's fb page? I guess I need to go look. After I posted something about inflammatory memes reflecting upon the character of the poster rather than the character of the intended target, my uncle went on the war path for me. This normally logical man has lost his mind. I posted a link to a NYT article about how a bipartisan effort by voters as well as disparagement by Trump made Republicans back down from dismantling the ethics office, he went off on how I had just posted an inflammatory meme. A news article by a respected news source is not a meme. And how was it inflammatory? Since then he's been on a meme rampage, but most aren't memes, they are twitter screenshots. I'm not going to disabuse him of the notion that a screenshot is a meme. He's also posted several things about people no longer having manners or respecting their elders (I'm 46, hardly a spring chicken). At the end of the day, it devolves into him deciding to take exception to whatever I say and 100% agree with whatever Trump tweets. My dad is far worse. I no longer comment when something is wrong or argue with people, I simply report it to facebook. It is a tactic the alt-right and other groups that want to sway the news a certain way in FB have been doing. They report things so they are not seen as often. So now if I see an inflamitory meme, article, comment, whatever I report it. My thinking is that the more they get reported that eventually they will be seen less. That is my hope anyway.

The man isn't safe to know such highly classified intelligence. They were discussing this in a news show last night and is something that I hadn't thought about. They also said that the intelligence agencies (both here and abroad) may start to decide that it isn't worth it to put someone's life in danger if nothing is going to be done with the info anyway. There are so many consequences of the actions of the president that he is not considering or is not aware of and it is so, so dangerous.

Ding ding ding ding. We have a winner, ladies and gentlemen. GOP and Big Biz wet dream is to turn the US labor market into a 3rd world style labor market. Just think of it: no benefits, no safety regs, no pollution regs, cheap wages and NO TRANSPORTATION cost - get all that banana republic goodness right here in the US of A w/o having to load all your goods onto a Chinese container ship to get them back here to the market.

The only problem with that is - who is going to be able to buy your product? If everyone is making barely survival wages, it doesn't matter that you don't have to ship your crap across the ocean, there won't be a market for it here anymore.

Oy, the fireworks. Twice in the last few days. A decision about fireworks on election night seems to hold great importance to him. The canceled balloons must feel a bit slighted. Did they portend nothing about his ascendancy, dammmit?
