It's all about Me! President Trump sent a Thanksgiving Day message to the nation Thursday: It's time to be very grateful. To him. In an early-morning tweet, Trump wrote: "your Country is starting to do really well. Jobs coming back, highest Stock Market EVER, Military getting really strong, we will build the WALL, V.A. taking care of our Vets, great Supreme Court Justice, RECORD CUT IN REGS, lowest unemployment in 17 years….!” USA Today. Let's remember that last year our President spent the day serving meals to homeless Veterans, this year our President is golfing at Mar-A-Lago. Is it odd to anyone else that he said “your country” not “OUR country”?

Is it odd to anyone else that he said “your country” not “OUR country”? Good catch. He must be thinking about his future home Russia, when he seeks political asylum. There must be a gulag with his name on it.

Ugh, what an ugly Thanksgiving message. He probably doesn't know the origin of why there's a day of Thanksgiving.

Ret. Lieutenant General calls Trump Thanksgiving remarks ‘insulting’BY BRETT SAMUELS - 11/23/17 01:30 PM EST *********** “First of all, I’m thankful for the fact that he did address the soldiers. But the message I heard and some of the things he said would not have rung very well with me had I been a deployed soldier,” CNN military analyst and retired Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling said. Trump spoke from his Mar-a-Lago estate to troops deployed overseas via video teleconference. During the call, the president praised the military’s recent performance, and the state of the economy, echoing his comments on Twitter. “We’re really winning. We know how to win. But we have to let you win. They weren’t letting you win before,” Trump told the troops. “We have been winning,” Hertling said on CNN. “You’re talking to soldiers and military personnel around the world who have been in this fight for 17 years, and to suddenly be told they’re winning now when they weren’t winning before is somewhat insulting.” Hertling said troops likely don’t care about the economy or stock market, but just want to be thanked for their service. “The comments about the economy and where the economy is growing, deployed soldiers don’t want to hear about that, they want to hear, ‘hey thanks,’” he said. ************* thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/361673-ret-lieutenant-general-calls-trump-thanksgiving-remarks-insultingCan someone teach him anything?

Axelrod to Trump: Thanksgiving is 'not about you’BY BRETT SAMUELS - 11/23/17 02:45 PM EST David Axelrod, ex-adviser to former President Barack Obama, fired back on Thursday at President Trump’s comments earlier in the day about the economy and military. “Give it a rest, will you? Thanksgiving is about family, friends, the blessings of life. IT’S NOT ABOUT YOU!!!” Axelrod tweeted. Give it a rest, will you? Thanksgiving is about family, friends, the blessings of life. IT’S NOT ABOUT YOU!!! t.co/uvEVcWBzkj — David Axelrod (@davidaxelrod) November 23, 2017Axelrod was responding to a Trump tweet from Thursday morning in which the president touted the stock market, the military, the appointment of Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch and the unemployment rate. Trump also vowed to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

Trump visited a coast guard station today uninvited. (They had no idea he was coming)
He gave them a speech about how proud he is of them and how he was glad they were there for the country. Then....
He freaking ASKED THEM IF THEY HAD ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE COUNTRY AND HOW WELL HE WAS RUNNING IT!
NO shit, It was just shown on my local news. He asked them to go ahead, ask me anything about how great I'm doing!
Nobody said a word. He just stood there with that stupid fish lip thing he does.
What a fucking idiot.

Remember he doesn't count them the same as the other military branches and last I heard was cutting their budget!
In some ways, we live on the coast, we see them do more locally and all the rescues with the hurricanes this year, every year.

Of course, but he tweets, plays golf and pats himself on the back, where as a year ago the president was serving meals to the homeless.

It’s probably a good idea if Trump doesn’t serve meals to the homeless. I can see him now with a scoop of potato and lobbing it to a plate like he tossed the paper towels.

trump...
“Will be speaking to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey this morning about bringing peace to the mess that I inherited in the Middle East. I will get it all done, but what a mistake, in lives and dollars (6 trillion), to be there in the first place!
After Turkey call I will be heading over to Trump National Golf Club, Jupiter, to play golf (quickly) with Tiger Woods and Dustin Johnson. Then back to Mar-a-Lago for talks on bringing even more jobs and companies back to the USA!”
I mean the man is really stupid isn’t he. Notice how he knows the cost of whatever he is talking about but not the number of lives.
What is really interesting is how the US was left out of the meeting with Russia, Turkey, & Iran to discuss what trump and Erdogan will be talking about which is Syria. It wasn’t to long ago that Turkey and Russia were at odds and now they are buddies at the expense of the US.
It’s all fine and dandy to think trump is bringing jobs to the US. But the real question that tiny hands is never asked is are those jobs going to where they are needed, are they high paying jobs, and do potential workers have the skills for these jobs. Unless people who need the jobs get these “I’m bringing jobs back to the US - MAGA” what’s the point?

Fox News...
“.@dbongino on his time working with @hillaryclinton while in the Secret Service: "I found [her] to be the most deceptive human being, manipulative political person in a position of power I'd ever met in my entire life." #Tucker”
Prompted this response from Niclk Merrill....
“I’ve worked for Hillary Clinton for a decade and 2 things are true. 1) She has enormous respect for the Secret Service & a great relationship with the agents on her detail. 2) This guy was never on the Clintons’ detail, & I don’t recognize him in the slightest.”
There is a video with the Fox News tweet of this guy. The captions running underneath are like Hillary now after Obama.
What this tells me is Fox is trying to distract its viewers and trump’s base from the news that Flynn is more than likely making a deal with Mueller. Which can’t be good for trump.

Is that Turkey the country, or Turkey the bird, and does he know the difference? Am I remembering incorrectly or weren't these trending in this direction before he took office? And you are correct. Any economic gains are due the Obama, as we are still operating on 44's budget.

I live in an area that has a lot of Secret Service members as neighbors. In general, they have never truly trash talked members of the administration past or present. Whoever that is, has no clue. I wonder if they're actually Secret Service.

These false facts given out by Fox News is repeated as though it's reality. This is why his base (esp elderly white men) would rather side with him vs. HRC. It irks me because I've never known her to be disrespectful to anyone in the Secret Service or in Government. She's worked for the public sector as far back as when she received her law degree. Compare that to Trump who wormed his way into real estate by dear old disgusting daddy. Trump doesn't know a thing about anything!! I hate to hear these lies being perpetuated about HRC or about anyone that Trump speaks about. I'd rather put a mute button on him and his minions.

Another thought, the older white male dislikes the accomplished, successful female with power! Think Moore, barefoot and pregnant and 14 years old and his supporters who think pedophile is better then a Democrat. NO value of women in any way! Oh and the grabber too!

Think Senator Kamala Harris asking wimpy Sessions questions that he didn’t want to answer and the old white GOP Senators trying to shut her down.
But it was Ok for the male GOP members of Congress to drill down on Hillary. Remember that 11 hour questioning by Gowfy & company..

Newsweek...
“Bernie Sanders could be the one to beat Donald Trump in 2020, say top Democratic strategists bit.ly/2jWncD8”
Not going to happen. We have better Democrats than Sanders that could beat trump. There is a move by some in the Democratic Party trying to build up Sanders as the savior of the party. When in fact he would be the Democratic version of the Tea Party. Notice how well that’s working out for the Republicans. Too extreme to get much done.

“Time Magazine called to say that I was PROBABLY going to be named “Man (Person) of the Year,” like last year, but I would have to agree to an interview and a major photo shoot. I said probably is no good and took a pass. Thanks anyway!”
Prompted this response from Dan Pfeiffer...
“This Tweet is so sad. Imagine being super rich, President of the United States, and still being so needy for approval”
