Among all the other madness - Trump basically says there won't be a NAFTA deal.  Canada should just walk away now.  Lets see if he can even get rid of NAFTA - I doubt it.

Has he actually done anything he said he's gonna do in order for us to be worried about NAFTA?

Someone will show him a picture of Trudeau in a miniskirt tomorrow and he'll forget all about tearing up NAFTA.

Hey, guys! Let's split the AntiFa topic into a new thread.  I want to talk about what a **** senile imbecile the POTUS is.

He's having a big rally in Phoenix, and there are rampant rumours that he might pardon America's Toughest Sheriff, Joe Arpaio.  And as one of Trump's biggest supporters, I wouldn't be surprised if America's Biggest **** did indeed get a pardon.

America's Dumbest Shitbag is due to face jail time for willfully defying court rulings regarding racial profiling. This is pretty much like convicting Al Capone of tax evasion, or convicting Charles Manson of loitering.  Arpaio is a human **** stain. I think prison violence and prison **** are reprehensible and I normally wouldn't wish them on anyone. But given the humiliation and cruelty deliberately inflicted on prisoners by Arpaio, and given the deaths of individuals in Maricopa County custody due to deliberate denial of medical care, Joe deserves anything happens to him in prison.  Which won't be anything, because he'll no doubt be serving his time in a powder-puff prison, not a real prison.

Every single day there is something with his administration, and not something small, major things.  Some days more than one.

I was just watching CNN and Don Lemon paused for a moment when thinking of the word to describe Trump's speech and his guest said 'rant' which was very fitting. 

I was talking to my mom earlier saying what a ****-show this administration is and how I've never seen anything like it.  She said she's 70 and she's never seen anything like it either.  Even Nixon she said was one issue and long-standing, it wasn't the way this administration is crumbling every day.

Firing everyone around him, bringing in all his kids, ranting about starting nuclear wars, praising the 'good' nazis, personally profiting off playing golf and blowing through the secret service budget by August, wanting to see himself depicted in good light as a briefing while not caring about actual intelligence briefings... it's all so surreal.

It makes George Bush and his Iraqi genocide seem so tame.

Most of it is bullshit though.  He can't seem to actually do anything.

Trump is a narcissist, and the reporter who got it best on MSNBC said that really, all Trump cares about is the applause. He'll say and do whatever that Trump base will cheer for. Being president is no fun. Locked in a boring building without a view and surrounded by boring people trying to get him to work? Who needs that when he can be out in front of cheering crowds. He likes running for president. He doesn't like being president. I would not be surprised if he decided not to even run for re-election. His base would probably still show up to cheer him afterward anyway He'll be 75 by then. does he want to spend another boring four years in a building which is practically a slum dwelling? The toilet fixtures aren't even gold, for Christ's sakes!

And since he and MCConnell aren't on speaking terms he won't get much done without senate support.

Well, he did withdraw the U.S. from the TPP. Granted the history was a bit different... NAFTA is a long-established trade agreement and TPP hadn't been implemented yet, but it shows a willingness to walk away from trade agreements.

Well Donald stuck pretty close to his teleprompter during today's speech. I would imagine he was strongly advised not to go all wonky in front of a room full of veterans.

Did the "blacks for Trump" guy catch your eye yesterday?  He totally did mine and I wondered what's wrong with him.  It turns out, plenty.  He's a nutjob.

http://www.salon.com/2016/10/27/that-blacks-for-trump-guy-at-donald-trumps-rallies-is-even-weirder-than-you-think/

ETA, it's funny, as a minority I've had politicians want to use images with me in marketing (while sidelining my white husband), so I know they all do it, but seriously?  This is the best they could come up with for the directly-behind-the-president angle?  Just sad.

Interesting. I had a feeling it had to be a put up job. Who the hell in their right mind, (especially a Black man) would stand upand hold a sign in support of a man who has demonstrated his racism multiple times.

It's probable that the reason they're so desperate to put a black person in a visible position is to mend his racist image, but I can't believe his handlers haven't done their proper homework into the guy.

Having a sea of white faces (a la Paul Ryan) is honestly better than exploiting a mentally-disturbed individual as your token black guy.

Trump is a walking disaster, but to compare his failures with W. Bush is absolutely ridiculous.  Bush killed hundreds of thousands of people & destroyed nations based on lies.  It's an absolute joke that Bush & admin were never seriously investigated.

Where was the mainstream media when Bush & his cronies were doing such obviously horrible things?  Some of them hammered on Bush, like MSNBC and others, but nothing like how virtually every outlet not obviously rightwing piles on Trump.
