For me, the thread's title summarizes what is truly scary about a Trump administration. The orange charlatan will say and do many, many stupid AND dangerous things and we should rely on those surrounding him to mitigate his self-centered actions......however, no one (with maybe Romney as a possible exception) seem to have the guts to tell him what he can and cannot do.
Scary situation.

Lol. Do libs actually believe the crap they spew? No more Medicare, SS, or taxes? Banning abortion? Get back on your meds.The irony here is that people keep telling him he can't do this and that, yet he goes ahead and does just this and that. And you know what,...
That goes for all the things Republicans push. All of their unpopular ideas get shot down at first but then eventually they wear us down and get their shit passed. People don't believe they'll really do what they say but they eventually do. All the cuts Paul Ryan pushed through for example.
This is why I'm sure medicare and social security are toast. ZERO corporate taxes are coming and war with Iran is imminent. So is banning abortion. Keystone Pipeline? All just a matter of time.
Nope. It was just his stepping stone to the US Presidency.I think it is hilarious when idiots act as if Trump licensing his name as a brand for millions of dollars is somehow a bad thing.
The fact that he can do that is proof of a great reputation.
I think he will be the final authority of any and all decisions and I believe even the Supreme Court. He is now
King Tut.

FYI.
Still better than that piece of shit you voted for.Sure, Trump IS rich.....but he made his money by:
a. Having daddy's little bundle of millions and an already lucrative business
b. Screwing people who had done work for him
c. Selling his name like a brand
d. NOT paying taxes for decades
e. "Bribing" corrupt politicians (if you think that Hillary is corrupt, check out how much money Trump gave her.)
f. Going bankrupt how many times?
So, if you think that the above makes him a "perfect" candidate to look out for the common person's benefit and run the most powerful and influential country on earth, you're just as dumb as he is.
Remind me when Pres. Obama violated the Constitution?SCOTUS, just like they told Obama when he violated the Constitution.

He has been defeated in court like 15 or 20 times. Half of them were 9-0. Not to mention they had to deem his trainwreck ACA a TAX so it would be Constitutional. Give me a breakRemind me when Pres. Obama violated the Constitution?SCOTUS, just like they told Obama when he violated the Constitution.

Six times. He filed bankruptcy six (6) times. He's a fraud.
Donald Trump's six bankruptcies, detailed
Bankruptcy No. 1: The Trump Taj Mahal, 1991
Trump’s first bankruptcy may have hit the businessman, personally, the hardest, according to news reports.
He funded the construction of the $1 billion Trump Taj Mahal casino in Atlantic City, N.J., which opened in 1990, primarily with junk bonds at a whopping 14 percent interest. A year later, the casino was nearly $3 billion in debt, while Trump had racked up nearly $900 million in personal liabilities. So Trump decided to file for Chapter 11 reorganization, according to the New York Times.
As a result, Trump gave up half his personal stake in the casino and sold his yacht and airline, according to the Washington Post.
Bankruptcy No. 2: Trump Castle, 1992
Within a year of his first Chapter 11 filing, Trump found himself in bankruptcy court again for Trump Castle, which opened in 1985. It was his "weakest gambling hall," according to the Philadelphia Inquirer, and ironically faced competition from Trump Taj Mahal. In March 1992, the Castle filed a prepackaged bankruptcy plan, and Trump gave up his 50 percent share in the casino for lower interest rates on $338 million worth of bonds.
Bankruptcy No. 3: Trump Plaza and Casino, 1992
The Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, which opened in 1984, declared bankruptcy at the same time as the Castle. A $210 million joint project of Trump’s and Harrah’s, the casino had racked up $250 million in debt by 1992, after a staggering 80 percent decline in cash flow. So Trump Plaza filed for prepackaged bankruptcy that spring as well.
Bankruptcy No. 4: Plaza Hotel, 1992
Later that year, Trump filed bankruptcy on another Plaza, this one in New York. Trump purchased the Plaza Hotel in Midtown Manhattan for $390 million in 1988, but it accumulated more than $550 million in debt by 1992. In December 1992, Trump relinquished a 49 percent stake in the Plaza to a total of six lenders, according to ABC News. Trump remained the hotel’s CEO, but it was merely a gesture; he didn’t earn a salary and had no say in the hotel’s day-to-day operations, according to the New York Times.
Bankruptcy No. 5: Trump Hotels and Casinos Resorts, 2004
Trump Hotels and Casinos Resorts filed for bankruptcy again in 2004 when his casinos -- including the Trump Taj Mahal, Trump Marina and Trump Plaza casinos in Atlantic City, and a riverboat casino in Indiana -- had accrued an estimated $1.8 billion in debt, according to the Associated Press. Trump agreed to reduce his share in the company from 47 percent to 27 percent in a restructuring plan, but he was still the company’s largest single shareholder and remained in charge of its operations. Trump told the Associated Press at the time that the company represented less than 1 percent of his net worth.
Bankruptcy No. 6: Trump Entertainment Resorts, 2009
Trump Entertainment Resorts -- formerly Trump Hotels and Casinos Resorts -- was hit hard by the 2008 economic recession and missed a $53.1 million bond interest payment in December 2008, according to ABC News. It declared Chapter 11 in February 2009. After debating with the company’s board of directors, Trump resigned as the company’s chairman and had his corporate stake in the company reduced to 10 percent. The company continued to use Trump’s name in licensing.

The DoD appt is encouraging. Aside from praying away the gay, and no abortion for women who sin, Pence is not insane. (I can't believe I made that comment.

Trump has started over 500 businesses and less than a dozen have failed. You can only wish for that type of success rate
