I was reading an article in the Washington Post about what tiny hands did this week. This one part is really disturbing. I find I'm really agreeing with lucyg in that we are indeed doomed "Counseling Trump in the effort will be Stephen K. Bannon, the White House chief strategist whose influence inside the administration is expanding far beyond politics. In a separate presidential memo, Trump reorganized the National Security Council to, along with other changes, give Bannon a regular seat on the principals committee — the meetings of the most senior national security officials, including the secretaries of defense and state. That memo also states that the director of national intelligence and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs will sit on the principals committee only when the issues to be discussed pertain to their “responsibilities and expertise.” In the previous two administrations, both were included as regular attendees."

Today's rant about "fake" news. He just can't leave it alone.....
" Somebody with aptitude and conviction should buy the FAKE NEWS and failing @nytimes and either run it correctly or let it fold with dignity!"
Forget the fact I don't like him but this just isn't behavior from a grown man. It's just not.

And he continues...... "Our country needs strong borders and extreme vetting, NOW. Look what is happening all over Europe and, indeed, the world - a horrible mess!" Well tiny hands doesn't seem to have a plan for the tunnels the Drug Cartels keep digging at the border. Or a plan for the oceans on either side of the country. Or a plan to stop those pesky Canadians from sneaking across the northern borders. Just joking on the last one.

Latest.....
"Christians in the Middle-East have been executed in large numbers. We cannot allow this horror to continue!"
A lot of innocent people are being killed in The Middle East and parts of Africa. So when did one life become more important than another?

When you are trying to incite a holy war between Muslims and Christians?

I mean, he's right! HE is busy starting WWIII! How dare they try and steal his thunder! /sarcasm I swear, the more I see/read/hear, the more I try to convince my dh to have us move back to Canada. I already miss home, but this makes me feel like it's a no-brainer to go back home.

Trump Hotels Tweet:
"Tell us your favorite travel memory - was it a picture, a souvenir, a sunset? We'd love to hear it!"
Jill Biden's parody account response....
"When people showed up to airports to protest your owner's xenophobic, unconstitutional #MuslimBan"
Love it!

Monday morning and he's off......
"Only 109 people out of 325,000 were detained and held for questioning. Big problems at airports were caused by Delta computer outage,....."
And
"protesters and the tears of Senator Schumer. Secretary Kelly said that all is going well with very few problems. MAKE AMERICA SAFE AGAIN!"
And...
"There is nothing nice about searching for terrorists before they can enter our country. This was a big part of my campaign. Study the world!"
And...
"If the ban were announced with a one week notice, the "bad" would rush into our country during that week. A lot of bad "dudes" out there!"
Change of subject....
"I have made my decision on who I will nominate for The United States Supreme Court. It will be announced live on Tuesday at 8:00 P.M. (W.H.)"
Now what is he talking about.....
"Where was all the outrage from Democrats and the opposition party (the media) when our jobs were fleeing our country"
I like how he's blaming Delta for all the protests at the airport. The man really does live in a reality of "alternative facts".

An excerpt from an interview Kellyanne gave on Sunday. So now we know trump and company expect blind allegiance from the Republicans.
"President Trump's counselor Kellyanne Conway defended President Trump's criticism of GOP Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham today, saying the president's fellow Republicans need to back his leadership.
"We want them to be there for the president and support him," Conway said on ABC News' "Good Morning America" on Monday.
Conway was responding to questions from ABC News' chief anchor George Stephanopoulos about Trump's response on Twitter on Sunday after Sens. McCain and Graham issued a joint statement criticizing the president's executive order on immigration and refugees."

I really thought/hoped CNBC was jumping the gun or misunderstood something.
I saw a tweet that the EO is regarding small businesses.

He has yet to prove he got not only the popular vote but all the votes???
ETA above was in answer to post before me. (as this is a 24 page thread to be more specific):
"It is almost February. WHY is he still tweeting about the general election?"

And......
"The American dream is back. We’re going to create an environment for small business like we haven’t had in many, many decades!"
If you actually look at the reasons why small businesses fail you will find regulations and taxes are at the bottom of the list. And the other thing I find interesting about tiny hands going on about those pesky regulations. A lot of regulations are State and local. And then there are states with few regulations but they are also some of the poorest states. So it will be interesting to see how his latest EO or whatever he signed is going "create an environment for small businesses like we haven't see in many many decades".
As far as "many many decades". Apparently he hasn't been paying attention. The majority of the business that started in Silicon Valley and other tech heavy business areas started out as small businesses. Start ups. Some produced the latest crop of billionaires, some are doing nicely, and some failed. That's the nature of the beast.
Another thought, how are getting rid of regulations going to save the mom and pop stores from the likes of Amazon? Doesn't matter if it's brick and mortar or online only.

Well considering when DDT used smaller businesses as subcontractors, he often refused to pay what he owed, I find it fairly ironic that he's now going to protect small business. Kinda funny actually

Latest....
"The Democrats are delaying my cabinet picks for purely political reasons. They have nothing going but to obstruct. Now have an Obama A.G."
It seems the fact the acting AG isn't going to defend his EO has caught tiny hands attention so he used his tiny fingers to show his displeasure.
And it could be the Democrats are delaying the confirmation of these folks because they are a bunch of losers.

I have no idea.... But again, it's the hypocrisy that makes me shake my head. The GOP blocked Pres. Obama at every turn. Every chance they got...but now it's an issue? FFS.

It seems tiny hand's did more then use his tiny fingers to express his displeasure about acting AG Sally Yates not defending his EO. He fired her tonight.
I'm sure Sally Yates figured this would happen when she released her memo. But she did take a stand and raised questions that need to be addressed.

Just in case anyone is interested, the Washington Post has started a new podcast called "Can He Do That" that will be updated on Fridays. The first one was last Friday and focused on Trump's tweeting.
