Phil1111 1,182 #1 December 15, 2016 We need a thread to discuss the latest ballistic meltdowns of trump's ability to control himself as president. So today its Vanity Fair magazine. Here is the story: http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2016/12/trump-grill-review "You Are What You Eat Trump Grill Could Be the Worst Restaurant in America And it reveals everything you need to know about our next president."... "The bathrooms transport diners to the experience of desperately searching for toilet paper at a Venezuelan grocery store."... "Our waiter, coiffed and charming, was determined to gaslight us into thinking we were having a good time. “Trump gets the taco bowl and the lasagna and baked ziti,” he said, before subsequently informing the table that we could not order the lasagna or baked ziti. I asked the waiter what Trump’s children eat. He didn’t seem to understand the question, or, like Marco Rubio, appeared unable to depart from his prescribed talking points.“Oh, I’ve shaken hands with him before, and they’re pretty normal-sized hands,” he responded." Then comes trump's response to a single critical review of one of his investments. "President-elect Donald Trump took aim at a new media target Thursday morning, writing on Twitter that Vanity Fair magazine is “dead”. http://www.politico.com/story/2016/12/trump-feud-vanity-fair-232675 trump, Putin and President Rodrigo Duterte of the Philippines should get together to discuss how to manage political critics and opponents. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/dec/14/philippines-president-rodrigo-duterte-personally-killed-criminals "After Russian President Vladimir Putin called Donald Trump "very talented," the GOP frontrunner has defended Putin against suspicions that Putin kills journalists who don’t agree him. It started on MSNBC’s Morning Joe last month when host Joe Scarborough asked about it. Trump responded, "He’s running his country, and at least he’s a leader, unlike what we have on this country. I think our country does plenty of killing also, Joe, so you know." "I’m confused," Scarborough pressed. "You obviously condemn Vladimir Putin killing journalists and political opponents, right?" "Oh sure, absolutely," Trump conceded. A few days later, Trump defended Putin again, to ABC’s George Stephanopoulos. "You're supposed to be innocent until proven guilty, at least in our country. It has not been proven that he's killed reporters." http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/article/2016/jan/04/does-vladimir-putin-kill-journalists/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baksteen 84 #2 December 15, 2016 Quote Trump responded, "He’s running his country, and at least he’s a leader, unlike what we have on this country. You gotta appreciate the irony here. Now back to my popcorn."That formation-stuff in freefall is just fun and games but with an open parachute it's starting to sound like, you know, an extreme sport." ~mom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phil1111 1,182 #4 December 18, 2016 ryoder And Drumpf invoked the Streisand Effect: http://thehill.com/homenews/news/310754-vanity-fair-breaks-subscription-record-after-trump-attack-on-twitter Most people would look with disdain upon anyone making fun of the disabled. They would take action when observing someone abusing animals. But there is something entertaining about those making fun of trump. Poking his fragile ego, lack of sensibilities and absence of restraint. It always gets the same reaction. SNL is going to reach new levels of popularity come Jan-Feb. 2017. Their opening skits get widespread play already. Alec Baldwin can write his retirement ticket during the trump presidency. Thats if trump doesn't order the CIA to kill him for treason first. But I forget the CIA,FBI.NSA are all conspiring against trump. He just may order his Secret Service driver to go to the NBC studios in NY to personally punch out Baldwin. But that won't do much damage because after all... trump has such small hands. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
