Trump engages in an analysis of today's news

It was positively entertaining to watch Trump analyze some of today's news, very revealing.

First, Trump talked about the upcoming Congressional hearing featuring Robert Mueller, scheduled to take place Wednesday. In one sentence Trump revealed his personal strategy of having it both ways.

Trump said, "No, I won't listen, but probably I will listen to a little bit." "Little bit?" See, now that is funny.

Trump then went on to describe his relationship with the Mueller Report.

“We had no collusion, no obstruction, we had no nothing,” Trump said. “We had a total no-collusion finding.” That is not what the Mueller report says. Trump was lying.

"No obstruction." Mueller’s report details 10 episodes in which Trump potentially committed obstruction of justice. Trump was lying.

“The Democrats were devastated by it. They’re not doing anything. They’re not doing health care. They’re not doing infrastructure,” Trump said. “All they care about is a phony investigation.” House Democrats are working on bills to better things for Americans. Trump is working on The Squad. It has dominated his conversation for a week.

“Robert Mueller, I know he’s conflicted,” Trump said. “There’s a lot of conflicts that he’s got, including the fact that his best friend is Comey.” Comey testified late last year that he and Mueller are “not friends in any social sense.” Trump was lying.

Trump then asserted that “he wanted the job of FBI director and he didn’t get it.” Former White House strategist Steve Bannon said that Mueller “did not come looking for the job.” Trump was lying.

Trump noted that he and Mueller “had a business relationship where I said no and I would say he wasn’t happy.” Mueller was once a member of Trump’s Virginia golf club, but terminated his membership and asked for a partial refund of his membership fee. Trump was lying.

This all happened in less than 90 seconds.

Reporters in the Oval Office asked Trump about Iran’s statement that it arrested 17 Iranian nationals recruited by the Central Intelligence Agency to spy on the country’s nuclear and military sites. In a note of pure irony ...

“That’s totally a false story. That’s another lie,” Trump said.

Also, Trump informed us today that he could win the Afghanistan war "in a week" adding that the country "could be wiped off the face of the Earth. I don’t want to go that route." Trump made the claim sitting alongside the Pakistani prime minister, Imran Khan. (That's embarrassing) Trump said he would not do it because "I just don't want to kill 10 million people." Many wonder what Khan was thinking after Trump made a complete fool of himself. We know what reporters and viewers were thinking.

I told you this would be very entertaining. Trump is a very funny guy.

He sounded like he liked Trump.

 

What exactly does potentially committed obstruction mean?

 

More on today's news, only this isn't funny, not one bit.

Trump withdrew the U.S. from the nuclear deal (JCPOA) with Tehran, which permanently barred Iran from making a nuclear weapon. The agreement was working, but Trump decided to punish Iran for being in compliance with the JCPOA. He ratcheted up sanctions on the Iranians.

On June 20 Iran shot down an American $110 million RQ-4A Global Hawk Unmanned Aircraft System or UAV.

This has all happened since July First.

Iran has breached the limit on its stockpile of low-enriched uranium set under a 2015 nuclear deal.

Then Iran breached a crucial limit on the level of uranium enrichment set out in the 2015 nuclear deal, going from 3.67% to over 4.5%.

Britain seized an Iranian tanker bound for Syria.

The USS Boxer brought down an Iranian drone.

Iran seized two British tankers.

Iran says it has arrested 17 spies who it says were working for the CIA, and sentenced some of them to death.

In 2003, the Iraqi armed forces were a defeated organization. Its air force did not even fly. Baghdad was captured in less than 30 days. The eight-year long Iraq war with its nearly 5,000 dead Americans, 25,000 wounded Americans, and over one million dead Iraqi civilians would be a walk in the park compared to a war with Iran. She has sophisticated fighter aircraft, sophisticated ballistic missiles, effective anti-ship cruise missiles, and her proxy forces are encamped throughout the Middle East, many within the same grid square as American bases.

Today, Trump cast doubt on reaching any possible compromise with Iran as tensions continue to escalate. "We are ready for the absolute worst, " he said.

Trump has a really big mouth. He thinks all this is a television drama, and he is the star. What an idiot.

 

Here's a hint. Try reading the entire sentence, not just three words of it.

I don't have time for this.

 

Trump's followers are pathetic. How can one support a man then allow others to criticize him and not say a thing? That is something I just can't understand.

Fox News reports, "Nearly every day over the last week, the president has blasted four freshman progressive House lawmakers -- Reps. Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., and Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass. He has argued they should leave the United States if they don’t love America, provoking accusations of racism.

"On Tuesday, he referenced Omar’s recent vow to be a “nightmare” for him and said: “No, AOC Plus 3 are a Nightmare for America!'"

This has gone now for ten days. Will our simpleton President continue this until the November elections next year? This is surreal. These are four Democratic extremists, freshmen Congresswomen. They have been lectured by the Speaker to cool it. Trump acts like they are spokespersons for the Democratic Party.

Is he really that stupid or is he just addressing his base? They are sure to believe that Trump is attacking the Democratic leadership. They believe anything he says.

 

Sometimes I wonder what you are talking about. The rest of the time I don't care much.

 

Sandy,
"The rest of the time I don't care much."

There's your answer as to why Trumpist's aren't outraged........or even bothered by Don's lies.

If they admit he lies pathologically they admit they voted for a pathological liar. End of story.

 

No argument from me. President Trump has been an entertainer from day one. What you are seeing is his performance. It’s not about truth or lies, it’s about putting on a show.

Are you entertained!!!

 

I didn't vote for him, but I bet you voted for Hilary who committed a felony with her emails.

 

Do you understand why that is so difficult to believe since you defend him for everything........give him a pass for everything. It's not how someone who didn't vote for him typically behaves. Your posts suggest you are a member of his cult. Just sayin'.

 

Just another one of your obvious exaggerations. Why should we take anything you say seriously?

 

Too busy starting hate threads?

I read the whole opinion piece and questioned one nonsensical term, which you cant explain because you made it up.

Get back to us with an indictment... otherwise your posts are just so much sour grapes.

 

But.......it's not. You do defend Don all the time for everything. It's not my problem if that embarrasses you.

 

Speaking of today's news...........here's some about Don's "very fine people."

You just can't avoid exaggerating, can you? I comment on maybe a quarter of the threads.involving Trump. I only comment on a few of the posts in each thread. But lets look at it another way. Trump gets up in the morning. I don't comment on it. He goes to the bathroom and I don't comment on it. He eats breakfast and I don't comment on it. I comment on an infinitesimally small percent of what Trump does. Only you could make that "everything".

Now what I do comment on are those very few things I disagree with. It is not my problem if those very few things bother you.

 

Trump is (obviously) a Completely Unprepared MORON (who never should have been elected in the first place).

Trump is a Pathological 24/7 LIAR.

Of course his "Supporters" (who are exponentially over-represented on social media) don't care.

Let us not forget that he was elected with the votes of only about 27% of the eligible electorate.

 

Thanks Sandy, you should start a news service. Your comments rival that of CNN.

 

Well, apparently there are a lot of things you can't understand but that is not our problem.

 

You couldn't understand my statement? Wow! I think the meaning is quite clear. Trump's followers can't defend Trump.

 

Just what DO you have time for? Reminiscent Hillary much?

 

It is not just the lies, Lee. It is everything Trump does and says. They don't deal with Trump ... period. Look at the replies on this thread.

There is a lot about Trump and current events on this thread. http://politicalforum.com/index.php?threads/trump-is-making-a-fool-of-himself.558229/

The title gives it away. Despite enormous criticism of their hero, Trump's fans completely ignore the thread. They won't defend their hero.

You, I, and many others cannot possibly understand that. If we support a political position, we will defend that position.

Perhaps they know they have completely screwed up and they wish to avoid the subject altogether. The threads they are interested in largely concern Democrats. I don't get that, either. Theoretically, they are Republicans.

Maybe they don't know what they are.

You do, and I will give you full credit for responding and dealing with the issues. Lee knows that, too, and we both appreciate it. You are one of the very few exceptions.

That said, your statement about not caring kinda ticked us off.

 

Two more Trumpets with wild accusations they can't support while failing to deal with any of the main issues in the OP. One seems to have a reading problem. She couldn't read my reply.
