Can Donald Trump be trusted with what he says or tweets anymore?

[oreo]

No. The man has communicated almost exclusively in hyperbole since the minute he got off the escalator.

His supporters know this, and this is where the phrase "take him seriously but not literally" comes from. They gave up trying to defend him.

All you can do is look for clues within the hyperbole as to his opinions and intentions.

Not a good situation when dealing with the most powerful person on the planet, but it is what it is.
.

Describing it as simple hyperbole is being generous. It's not as innocuous as you make it sound. This behavior undermines the confidence in, creates dysfunction and damages the effectiveness of our govt.
Ultimately, this crap will become untenable for the admin as Congress will be forced to act. That would be an epic and historic failure for no good reason other than humoring a lunatic.

Well, there is Trump's intent and then there is effect.

I think this is just the way he communicates, it's the way he's always communicated. In his commercial real estate business, he's been able to simply maul people through the sheer force of his personality and the power of his bluster. That doesn't mean he's particularly intelligent or gifted, it just means that it has worked (to varying degrees) for him in that industry.

His behaviors are REALLY familiar to me. I've known a guy in my city for 30 years who is just like this. He gets his way downtown all the time because he just runs roughshod over people. Interestingly, he's from NY, too. But this is national/international politics, and Trump won't be able to get away with that alone.

I'm horrible at predicting political stuff, so I don't know what's going to happen.
.

If Trump can't see the results of his actions and adjust accordingly, then one can only conclude that he's a lunatic.
It's not hard to see where this goes. It's already happening. The speaker is trying to get HC and a budget done under already difficult conditions while Trump is creating and perpetuating unproductive and unnecessary shitstorms. The Republican leadership has already distanced themselves as far from Trump as possible. They will have to choose between the Republican president and their own agenda. Trump will be the least influential and productive president in history if he loses Congress.

This is why they didn't want him in the first place. Trump has no Republican friends on the hill, other than the typical physco babble interpreters that have surrounded him throughout the campaign. He insulted most of them during the campaign, so his cough cough agenda gets put on the back burner to theirs---while at the same time, they get to babysit the ass clown.

That's why Trump's behavior is dangerous for him and his agenda. His relationship with Congress was already tenuous. He will not get funding for a wall or anything he wants if he continues his lunacy.

I seriously doubt that Congress would have approved of a 23 billion dollar wall. This cost is estimated for materials only. Certainly a Republican congress "wants" to give a Republican President what he campaigned on, but it's clear they're very tired of being railroaded by his tactics, because it is they that have to answer to it.

As far as the Wall. Look if walls & fences worked there wouldn't be any illegal's in this country today. Here is a great video on this with the cost associated that we've already spent on useless measures.

Trump can be trusted. Once the media starts interpreting what Trump said, that can't be trusted.

Another libtardo shows up too stupid to connect the dots which clearly shows Obamakov had his mole in the NSA leak wiretaps of Trump's headquarters and phone taps of Trump's conversations of the President of Mexico and Australia's Prime Minister.

The President of Mexico released a transcript of his conversation with Trump.

No big surprise that the President of Mexico is in cahoots with that criminal and master spy ex-President Obama. Wouldn't surprise me at all to learn that both Presidents tapped Drama Queen Donnie's wires. </sarcasm>

Trump Sued over the Real Amount of His Personal Debts
Source: LawNewz


by Alberto Luperon | 12:58 pm, March 19th, 2017

A new federal lawsuit claims President Donald Trump’s federal financial disclosure forms may not have identified his actual personal debts.

From the complaint, filed Tuesday in a Washington D.C. federal court:

The purpose of these disclosure requirements is to allow members of the public to make informed judgments as to whether candidates for federal office have financial conflicts of interests that may impair their ability to faithfully execute their duties as public servants.


Health law finance attorney Jeffrey Lovitky is suing pro se, so he’s acting as his own lawyer here. He claims POTUS is grating against the Ethics in Government Act, but he actually doesn’t allege any wrongdoing here. He says he just wants more information for the sake of transparency. POLITICO, who broke the story, managed to get any interview with him.

Right now I think the Sewer needs to be drained--and by that I mean this administration that has been engulfed in one lie after another, and one accusation after another and all of them have proved to be FALSE.

You're right, the libtardos have accused Trump of one lie after another and one accusation after another and all have been proven FALSE. Now cough up the proof Trump colluded with Russia or go to your safe space and pout where the adults won't laugh at you.

It's coming:




So where are we so far:

USA Today. Gordon had advocated for language in the GOP platform that the Ukrainians not be armed in their battle against pro-Russian separatists, an effort was ultimately successful. But Gordon says he was simply advocating what Trump himself had expressed -- that he did not wish to see major war break out over the situation in Ukraine.

What are the LIB MSM going to do when their bullshit lies blow up in their faces again?
I can imagine Man Brow holding up a scrap of paper with President Trump's autograph he signed for the woman at the meeting of left handed people back in 1996 when he was walking through a hotel lobby. The BREAKING NEWS will be: "I have the handwriting of President Trump! It proves he attended a meeting falsely claiming he was left handed!!!!!".
