At first I thought Trumps tweets were funny and it was going to be a funny 8 years.
But now I'm just embarrassed for the guy!! He acts like a petulant child. Especially the way he ends each tweet with "Sad!" or "FAKE!"
It's like he is still in campaign mode.
And I think that's because he never wanted to be president. He just wanted the attention of being a nominee. Spouting bollocks at a rally is what he does best. Now he has the presidency he hasn't a clue what to do or how to act. So he is just carrying on in campaign mode.
Sad!

Hey WB, you said $26Bn for his wall, that sounds like a bargain. Over here they spent almost £1Bn (of city taxpayers money) laying an 8 mile stretch of tramline which took about 6 years of the city centre being dug up. It runs at a loss, is no use to the majority of residents and blocks up traffic in the city but is hailed as a success.

Suckers! You could have bought five or six F35 joint strike fighters for that much!

And if you want a real money waster. Loook at H2O. £60 billion predicted, so you can bet it'll be double that.
And the result, city folk can get from Birmingham to the city about 20 minutes faster. They probably don't want to get there 30 minutes faster, it won't give them time to drink their coffee, eat their croissants, read the paper and check the stick exchanges.

Suckers! You could have bought five or six F35 joint strike fighters for thapt much! Haha, yep, then we'd have something we can put on our new carriers. For some reason they decided not to bother with catapults and arrestors. Maybe we could bring the harrier back into service.

WB! Is this real? Did Obama use GCHQ to spy on Trump? I used to think Obama was the bees knees. Not sure about him any more.

Do you think it is? Consider the source and then consider that the FBI has asked to WH to retract the comment because it's false. Don't allow yourself to be misled. So the president can't "order" a wiretap that would be illegal as it's authorized only with a court order. The other thing is... if indeed a court had ordered the wiretaps, then there was enough evidence presented to a federal judge to warrant it. If there was evidence, Trump could order the records to be shown, and he hasn't. Just like he hasn't shown his tax returns, just like he hasn't explained why everyone in his administration was either in contact with the Russians or getting paid as foreign agents and that went undisclosed and lied in Senate hearing about having had contacts with the Russian Ambassador, because they forgot. So everyone else in Trump's organization has lied or been shown to be complicit financially but we rely on Fox & Friends to deliver the anonymously sourced news that completely blames Obama while dismissing the dozen of so incriminatory facts that have been shown. Sometimes you have to ask why people have a tendency to believe the one incredulous thing while discounting the evidence in front of them. www.nytimes.com/2017/03/13/us/politics/kellyanne-conway-obama-microwave-surveillance.html?_r=0Now lastly, consider the fact that Trump just ordered every lawyer appointed by Obama to the Federal State Attorneys to resign immediately and the one State Attorney that declined to resign was fired. As was the acting Attorney General. So it's either Microwaves spying on the people or Trump has something to hide that he's keep on not having anyone find out. There's a bigger impact to have people believe the great big lie than there is to having to walk back the lie you told, because the corrections never ever get the same headlines than the scandalous claims.

The problem is that the out and out detachment from reality in the political sprectrum, is a handy mechanism to keep people confused... even better, disinterested because they see it all as a din and then lump it all into the who cares, it's all fake category.
Allowing corporations to do shit like this.
and now this guy is the Secretary of State setting America's global foreign policy. So this guy, another one of Trump's appointees, with ties to Russia, having made an attempt to have Exxon Mobil make the largest foreign deal by an American company with Russia, and being on the board and the CEO for a corporation representing Russian oil industry interests before becoming Secretary of State is something is overlooked.
So what they count on is people being shocked about a Fox News segment saying Obama ordered wiretapping of Trump, when the reality of what's actually happening goes by without commentary. It's an upside down world we're living in.

I'm not being misled, MSM, fake news. It's why I asked you, but I have seen it in more than one source. And I do have question marks over Obama. It is an upside down world. But more and more I'm questioning things I took for granted.
I know Trump's sacking people, but all the presidents do it. They all clear out. I read somewhere that Clinton cleared out more than anyone else, but I can't remember now where I read it.
I don't suppose we'll ever find out the truth, the 1% super rich elites put the lid on everything.

But you can't say that and also ignore the details of the Trump administration that are known. Presidents do it, but no president has ever done it en mass in one fell swoop like Trump has and that while being under investigation.
You don't find that suspect?
I am and have been against Obama for much more time than you have I'm sure. He deported more immigrants than any president before him, he held a long standing policy of drone attacks that have perpetuated the justifications of muslim terrorist groups against the west and he walked back just about all of the progress made by pulling the armed forces out of Iraq and Afghanistan. He didn't prosecute or go after a single Wall Street banker, and he hired the same Wall St. guys to run the fed that got the world into an economic tail spin in 2008.
He was a horrible negotiation, horrible at leveraging the bully pulpit (Something Trump is great at) and gradually became just as much a corporatist as Hilary, and even exceeded her in some respects. Under his watch we went from a Democratic Congress, Senate and Presidency to a Republican Congress, Senate, Presidency and 9 out of 98 state houses.
So clearly his was a failed policy.

Here's Sean Spicer, Trump White House Press Secretary clarifying how "wire tapping" is not wiretapping so clearly it absolved Trump from having to show proof of what he randomly tweets about on Saturdays after watching Fox & Friends.

I was taken in by Obama. Thought he was a genuine nice guy. Only recently finding things out. I think there's a lot of hypocrisy surrounding news .
On the firings, I think Trump fired 43 , Clinton fired 93 out of 94 , but we didn't hear so much about it.
I'm gonna reserve judgement on Trump, see what he actually does. I thought him a horrific prospect for president, but then I thought Obama was the real deal.

I thought him a horrific prospect for president, but then I thought Obama was the real deal. Did you catch the part about firing them all at once, and the part about him being under investigation? There are now three people in the Trump administration that have been shown to have direct ties/dealings with the Russian government or have been acting as foreign agents (something that went undisclosed) reciving money to promote another country's agenda while serving as an an advisor to Trump, there are piles of additional points coming to light every week and you don't see this particular firing suspect? He lied to the American public by refusing to disclose his tax returns, and you're still willing to give him the benefit of the doubt? I'll give you time, but man I'm surprised you're not seeing anything suspect; at some point you have to accept that people are who they're showing you they are. In other news, not that I condone vandalism, but this is actually a pretty brilliant way to get one's message noticed.
