From trump.....
"I am committed to keeping our air and water clean but always remember that economic growth enhances environmental protection. Jobs matter!"
How does allowing the coal mining industry to dump crap into the streams "enhance the environment" ?
All the jobs in the world are not going do anybody any good if they can't breath the air or drink the water.

From Christina Wilkie at the Huffington Post....
"I heard from a bunch of people today who never made the donations the Trump inaugural says they did. Every #CitizenSleuth deserves a medal."
Yesterday Christina posted the names of the donors to trump inauguration and asked if they had actually donated. It seems maybe not.
Rachel was wondering about this on her show the other night and if the information this reporter is digging up is accurate this could end up being anither negative story involving trump and other people's money. Like his Foundation.

Sunday morning's tweet
"ObamaCare is in serious trouble. The Dems need big money to keep it going - otherwise it dies far sooner than anyone would have thought."
Let's be honest here trump. It only dies if you kill it. trump needs the Democrats to get the funding for the wall so he is threatening them. Proof again he doesn't care for the little guy.
I suspect this response is by a bot but there is a certain amount of truth in it.
"You don't want a good healthcare system. You want OBAMA to not have created a good healthcare system. #SundayMorning"

Still at it..
"The Democrats don't want money from budget going to border wall despite the fact that it will stop drugs and very bad MS 13 gang members."
"Eventually, but at a later date so we can get started early, Mexico will be paying, in some form, for the badly needed border wall."
First the drug runners will just tunnel under your wall or come in along the coast. So will the M13 gang members.
Second It is not badly needed and you won't get Mexico to pay for the wall.

I had no idea what the M13 gangs were so I looked it up. I'm sure there is more to the story than this little blurb. But the fact that the gangs originate in Los Angeles tells me two things.
1. tiny hands thinks Los Angeles is south of the border.
2. He is assuming the gangs consist mainly of undocumented folks and by building that wall the gangs will disappear. In reality that assumption more than likely isn't true because CA has a large very legal Hispanic population to recruit gang members from. Which would mean, wall or no wall, the MS 13 gangs will continue to exist.
In other words another scare tactic used by tiny hands to get a win to feed his very fragile ego.
"MS-13. MS-13 (Mara Salvatrucha; also known as simply MS or Mara) is an international criminal gang that originated in Los Angeles, California. The majority of the gang is ethnically composed of Central Americans (mostly Salvadorans) and active in urban and suburban areas."

Ah tiny hands found a poll from fake news that he likes...... "New polls out today are very good considering that much of the media is FAKE and almost always negative. Would still beat Hillary in ....." "...popular vote. ABC News/Washington Post Poll (wrong big on election) said almost all stand by their vote on me & 53% said strong leader." And here is the rest of the story. That 53% number falls under the umbrella of "trump's traits". Here are the rest of the numbers... Trust in a crisis. 43% yes 52% no Judgement. 41% yes 56% no Honest/trustworthy 38% yes 58% no Personality/temperment 38% yes 59% no Empathy 37% yes 61% no link

Of course tiny hands is ignoring this poll.
From Washington Post Greg Sargent....
"New Q poll:
Trump approval: 40%
50% say Trump foreign policy worse than Obama
52% feel less safe under Trump

And he does this photo op with wifey to give a war hero who lost his leg in the line of duty a Purple Heart. And he tells the soldier 'congratulations'
You don't say congratulations to a war hero, you say thank you.
And all his supporters are gushing at what a wonderful gesture their president made. No, it wasn't a wonderful heartfelt gesture, it was a photo op, plain and simple.

From SF Gate....
"Trump turns on the television almost as soon as he wakes, then checks in periodically throughout the day in the small dining room off the Oval Office, and continues late into the evening when he's back in his private residence. "Once he goes upstairs, there's no managing him," said one adviser."
Maybe his time could be better spent like, I don't know, preparing himself for his public appearances and meetings with foreign leaders so he doesn't look a first class idiot.

"Trump to order review to open new offshore drilling areas politi.co/2pb8GrI"
Why when it's becoming clear that the greatest potential for jobs is in the renewable energy field.
And it seems he was not paying attention to the depression and the cause of it for oil industry jobs.

trump 8/31/13...
"Be prepared, there is a small chance that our horrendous leadership could unknowingly lead us into World War III."
He tweets we should stay out of Syria yet he bombs Assad's airstrips. That really didn't do anything.
He slamed President Obama for playing golf but he has played golf almost every weekend since he took office.
Now this tweet from 2013. Should we be worried?

Every time, as I open this thread, I think, "what the #$%@ has he said (tweeted) now?!?!" And yet I persist. I don't know why he still surprises me the stuff he says. I suppose it is because of his lack of common humanity? I suppose it is good as it keeps us "woke" as he persists in his rhetoric. He can't help himself or shut up so we are constantly being made aware. Can be exhausting though. We should take turns paying attention.

He can't focus long enough on one task to even begin to rehearse or practice. He is addicted to television. It was stated many times by Tony Schwartz that it took so long to write the Art of the Deal because Trump has the attention span of a gnat. Even at board meetings, Schwartz attended, Trump had tv on and had to be asked several times to pay attention. If asking a question, Trump would shush people while watching tv. It's a classic sign of his sociopathic personality. Obsessed. I can see him in the briefing room during a crisis telling people to shut up because he is watching television. Idiot.

Monday morning and someone found out the rest of the information in the ABC poll trump was touting yesterday.
"The two fake news polls released yesterday, ABC & NBC, while containing some very positive info, were totally wrong in General E. Watch!"
But I'm not sure what we are suppose to watch.....

And he is back with the wall....
"The Wall is a very important tool in stopping drugs from pouring into our country and poisoning our youth (and many others)! If"
Dear president tiny hands, if you think the wall is so important then tax the rich to pay for it instead of taking tax dollars away from programs to help the middle class and the poor.
Notice how he ends the tweet with "if". If what?
Edited to add....
And here is the rest of the wall tweet. Only took him three hours to finish it.
"....the wall is not built, which it will be, the drug situation will NEVER be fixed the way it should be! #BuildTheWall"
So now the main reason for the wall is drugs. But correct me if I'm wrong, isn't the biggest threat/concern is opioid addiction from prescription drugs?

"Trump budget chief Mick Mulvaney on Fox News Sunday: "We put up more executive orders than any previous administration in the last 50 yrs."
Response from Anthony deRosa of the Daily Show
"Remember when these same people said Obama was a dictator for his use of executive orders?"
He does have a point here....

I heard their answer to this on NPR this morning... apparently, Trump's use of excessive executive orders is okay, because he's writing them to LESSEN regulations.

Friday trump did an interview with AP that was odd even for him. Huffington Post did a recap. The link for the full transcript is in the article. From the article. "TRUMP: [Chinese] President Xi [Jinping], we have a, like, a really great relationship. For me to call him a currency manipulator and then say, “By the way, I’d like you to solve the North Korean problem,” doesn’t work. So you have to have a certain flexibility, Number One. Number Two, from the time I took office till now, you know, it’s a very exact thing. It’s not like generalities. Do you want a Coke or anything?" Does this even make sense?. Sometimes I think there is something wrong with him and other times I think he has realized he is in way over his head and trying not to panic.

Many young people are dying from one use. He should bed more concerned about that and oxy, you're right. He wants the wall for one reason and one reason only..to keep non Americans out.

What I don't understand is why do they think they need to pull a health care plan together in a week. Last time they, tried they may have worked on it for a couple of weeks. This time they want to have it done in about a week. Novel thought...why don't they take a month, or even 6 months and come up with a plan that will be beneficial to all?

"Canada has made business for our dairy farmers in Wisconsin and other border states very difficult. We will not stand for this. Watch!"
And that wall again...
"Don't let the fake media tell you that I have changed my position on the WALL. It will get built and help stop drugs, human trafficking etc."
Oh now it's stopping human trafficking as well.

Its really sad that when the president is scheduled to make a speech and you read a tweet like this and you think " yea let's just hope he can make it through the speech without insulting the subject and embarrassing the country."
