Trump: One of my 2 greatest assets is “being, like, really smart”

[HoganIsGOAT]

US President Donald Trump has deleted a Tweet citing his "consensual presidency" after the typo was caught by the Twittersphere.

Trump initially misquoted conservative columnist Michael Goodwin with two tweets citing Goodwin as saying:

"'His is turning out to be an enormously consensual presidency. So much so that ... there has never been a day that I wished Hillary Clinton were President. Not one. Indeed, as Trump's accomplishments accumulate, the mere thought of Clinton in the W.H., doubling down on Obama's ... failed policies, washes away any doubts that America made the right choice. This was truly a change election, and the changes Trump is bringing are far-reaching and necessary.' Thank you Michael Goodwin! (Please read entire column) mgoodwin@nypost.com"

lol

He is a genius, just playing with the media now, throws out some mad tweet to keep the snowflakes busy, but it saddens me to see others take the bait. Just relax, enjoy his words, they're funny and between the lines he's fixing ****.

[JediRN]

His use of the word "like", and calling himself a genius is an obvious incitement to provoke a violent white foam at the mouth reaction from the liberals that are nothing more than cry babies. And he knows that. Classic trolling. He is doing all this on purpose. The guy has a sense of humor.

Wouldn't he be bragging about it if he was doing it?

Is this the best use of his time? You're implying that he doesn't take the job seriously if everything is trolling.

I edited Moksha's post a little because I don't think it's helpful to insult people.

However, I agree 100% with everything else Moksha is saying here.

Also, it's important to note the same exact thing happened during the Watergate scandal/crisis. Nixon lied the entire time. Nixon attacked the investigators. Yes, there was a gradual dwindling of support amongst the GOP as it became increasingly clear Nixon committed some terrible crimes. But remember: Nixon's core supporters supported him the entire time. And they kept supporting him up until the very end until you could simply not refute the allegations any longer. And, even after Nixon resigned, there were still Nixon supporters who kept on supporting him...despite all the illegal activity which was uncovered.

But the good thing is not everyone has to be persuaded that Trump is a terrible leader. Only enough people have to be persuaded. Trump only won by a small margin in a handful of states which put him over the top. The same moderates/independents that supported him last time have already turned on him.

I believe Trump is a threat to the Republic, and I know people like Nutsy think I am being hyperbolic, but I caution everyone to consider that the Roman Republic did not transform into an Empire overnight. Nor, did the Weimer Republic suddenly transform into Nazi Germany within any short period of time. In both cases it was a slow process that took place over years, decades.

There is no political policy which is more important than the Republic itself. Whatever you think Trump is doing right in terms of policy none of it matters in the long-term if our institutions are destroyed in the process.

Nixon was trolling. He had a great sense of humor.

There has definitely never been a day that I've wished Hillary were President. At least that part of it is true. LOL.

New reporting shows his "schedule" is pretty light. https://www.thedailybeast.com/presid...executive-time

He starts his official day at 11am, has a 1 hour lunch and ends shortly after 4pm.

And part of the 4 hours of "work" time is 2 1/2 hours of "executive time" which is short hand for watching TV and calling friends.
This leaves him doing 1 1/2 hours of actual work (2 1/2 if you consider the lunch a working lunch).





At this point it seems he's little more than a figurehead leader that will rubber stamp whatever his party leadership puts in front of him and whatever his advisors tell him needs to be done. There's scant evidence that he has invested any real time to understand the complex issues his administration is tackling and is more comfortable serving as the visible 'front man' much like how he led the Trump organization.

But Trumpers have been telling me he works very hard, golfing is work, tweeting is work, and never sleeps? Whom am I to believe?

Does this man ever stop lying

I don't like the tweet. I've defended him tweeting. But I don't like this particular one. However, what exactly did he lie about?

He was a very successful business man, top TV star, and he did become president on his FIRST attempt at it. I'm willing to bet that if most ppl experienced the type of success Trump has, they'd probably be cocky, arrogant and just as narcissistic.

A level head can be almost impossible to have with that type of success.

"Robert Reich, is the Chancellor’s Professor of Public Policy at the University of California, Berkeley, and a senior fellow at the Blum Center for Developing Economies. He served as secretary of labor in the Clinton administration"

[ItsWhatIDo]

They know what he said was stupid, but they can't ever criticize their master so:

Anything good he says is good
Anything bad he says is "trolling"


Therefore no fault in anything, ever.

For being the world’s greatest troll, he seems to get baited into being an insecure baby on Twitter.

Trolls don’t get worked up and defensive every morning to start their day.

He's 4D trolling, LDO.

"Robert Reich, is the Chancellor’s Professor of Public Policy at the University of California, Berkeley, and a senior fellow at the Blum Center for Developing Economies. He served as secretary of labor in the Clinton administration"

The funny part is Reich's primary source is a book that has been largely discredited, while UC Berkeley Professor Emeritus George Lakoff who actually studies the subject has admitted Trump is a genius with his messaging and branding even though he's as anti Trump as they cone.

Bingo!


He's like the opposite of a troll. Trolls rile up other people, but Trump is the one getting all triggered and upset.

exactly! name one tv superstar that can get the likes of garey busey pauly shore omorosa and brett michals to appear on a tv show together

[fishnbrah]

if you don't respect Trump, there is actually no use wasting your time even making light of it anymore. Trump is wrecking himself every single day without any effort from anyone else. It is delicious

what has he wrecked?

He continued the strategic planning of Obama. Train the Iraqis and then support them. This started a long time ago. He's every bit as successful as Obama in Afghanistan, ie not very.

He also stopped the Obama era CIA arm transfers to Salafists (ISIS, Al Nusra) in Syria.

I actually write it that way on purpose. It just sounds warmer. But thank you for the courtesy spell check. Your contribution is well noted.

Yes, but gave bigly arms deals to Ukraine and Saudi Arabia.

[markduschane]

What I love about Trump, is he holds all the cards and has all the answers vs. the MSM. Just completely fuks with them on a day to day basis.

Anyone who says MSM is regular-minded.

[DouLou]

What surprises me most is the credit people give trump still. You'd think by now it would be blatantly obvious he isn't a troll, just incredibly sensitive and immature. But people still rever him as some PR specialist playing a game so deep that we cant fully comprehend the depths of the effects his words has.

Theres probably people in NK who dont think as highly of their god emperor as some americans think of this infallible man who is Trump.

Don't get me wrong im not commenting on his presidential abilities to get things done or whatever. Just can we all agree its not a ****ing mastermind act and he is in fact an impulsive overly emotional bloke who is kinda annoying. Imagine trump was in your group of mates, he'd be the one you all kinda tolerate when he is there and he'd probably think you were all super good buddies who respected him but secretly you'd all have a better night when he wasn't there and then chat about how lame he was.

[Seatard]

If Trump is retarded the left must really cry to be defeated by a retard who also overturned everything the left worked to achieve.

Agreed.

It reminds me of the goobers who cry about der jerbs being taken by uneducated, non-English speaking illegal immigrants. If you get beat out by a retard you best look inward and figure out where it all went so wrong.

[z4v4]

To the troll theorists: Did you watch the meeting yesterday? Is being a clueless buffoon trolling, or was this 5D chess? How many people said, "I don't think that's a good idea, Mr. President. We should not invite the press" and Donny shot them down?
