It's often what I do.....
They laughed out of respect
Yeah I saw that one.
US Ambassador Nikki Haley desperately grasping for a positive spin for Fox & Friends, no matter how absurd it is.
“They loved how honest he is,” Haley said. “It’s not diplomatic and they find it funny. ... When he goes and he is very truthful, they kind of were taken back by it.”
Yeah that'll be it right enough. Definitely not that they think he is a massive orange bellend who lies almost every time he opens his mouth.
Almost? I’d double check the time if he said ‘Good Morning’ to me!
Trump later told reporters that his boastful comment was meant to draw laughter.
“Oh, it was great,” he said. “Well, that was meant to get some laughter, but it was great.”
Apparently he meant to get the reaction he didn't expect
Just seen him accuse China of election meddling in the mid terms at the UN to the apparent bafflement of the Chinese delegation...
INFAMY, INFAMY, THEYVE ALL GOT IT IN FOR ME!!!!
Is that in case the drop too many seats and can claim it was the Chinese who won it for them
Like my favourite quote about Sepp Blatter
"He has 99 ideas a day,
100 of them are bad"
What would you say to his face if you had the chance (and gripped his little paw hard enough to hurt, obvs)?
I’d probably go with: “Jesus loves you (pause), everybody else thinks you’re a c**t”. 😃
Jesus thinks you're a c**t so does everybody else. Apart from the other c**ts and they're not sure, they just like your money.
"Bet that was a great night in Moscow"
Smile and walk away
Mr Big Brain to you!
I still find the "ME ME ME" narrative of Trump's press conferences just astonishing.
When asked about Kavanaugh's alleged conduct, he responds by talking about women who've accused him.When asked questions about North Korea, he asserts that without him, the US would be a war with North Korea right now (yeah, he actually said that) In answers about the trade war he's conducting with China, he suggests that all trade experts thinks he's very smart...and on and on and on.
The man is the president, you literally can't go higher in the US, and yet his ego is so fragile that he still can't help justifying himself either through obviously check-able made up Trump "facts" or just flat out lies, it's just weird.
bigbutslimmerbloke wins the internetz! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
‘Nice to meet you. What’s your name? I see. And what do you do for a living, Mr Trump? No, you must’ve misheard. What do you really do?’
There's a lot of people making money out of writing books about Trump
Funny that his crowning achievement will be the creation of an entire new genre of literature devoted to exposing just how stupid and vain he is.
Bloopers reel from his UN chat with the media...
...Its not a bloopers reel at all.
Frankly, that link of Trump that Jolmes posted is terrifying!

With a couple of his statements I did have to glance at the screen to see if it had swapped up to some stand up comic mimicking him.
There’s nothing like planning is there...
Bannon later told friends. “I go, ‘Holy ****, this guy [Trump] doesn’t know anything. And he doesn’t give a shit.’”
I had known about the ‘no one turned up till inauguration day’ thing, but ****ing hell.
As much as most take the piss out of the civil service, at least we don’t change it every time a new PM comes in...

Like a really bad impersonation

well whether hes a rapist or not (tho his accuser seemed pretty convincing) you can see why Trump likes Kavanagh: abraisive, self-centred & shouts down people who dare to criticise him
Well after a bit of consideration the NYT gave me an idea of something Trump has accomplished
Well I think at this point he has kicked off and woken up a power and a fury in the US and possibly gone a long way to start breaking up the old white man monopoly that has locked down politics in the US
I don't think this was in his plan though
NSFW as sweary, but hilarious...
There’s a horse loose in a hospital
More credit to trump
By age 3, Mr. Trump was earning $200,000 a year in today’s dollars from his father’s empire. He was a millionaire by age 8. By the time he was 17, his father had given him part ownership of a 52-unit apartment building. Soon after Mr. Trump graduated from college, he was receiving the equivalent of $1 million a year from his father. The money increased with the years, to more than $5 million annually in his 40s and 50s.
Not sure how many other 3 year old had used theis skills to earn 200k a year.
Or the other version
From The New York Times:
Trump Engaged in Suspect Tax Schemes as He Reaped Riches From His Father
The president has long sold himself as a self-made billionaire, but a Times investigation found that he received at least $413 million in today’s dollars from his father’s real estate empire, much of it through tax dodges in the 1990s.

I think we would all have struggled on with that sort of hard start in life.

Trumplestiltskin must be loving this
I doubt he's read the book.
As an aside, I'm more perplexed that Quentin Blake appears to think that Matilda would go on to run a Hair and Beauty Parlour in her 30s:
Which makes me wonder if he has read the book either. Matilda's mum, who ignored her and finally abandoned her, was the one obsessed with looks. It would be an odd thing for Matilda to fall in to.
The other suggestions seem much better to me:

Being trolled by his own bog roll now.
At least his Golf empire is doing well.
The Turnberry golf resort owned by US president Donald Trump has racked up millions of pounds of losses for the fourth year in a row.
According to Companies House filings, SLC Turnberry's parent company Golf Recreation Scotland was in the red by almost £3.4m in 2017.
In the previous year, it posted losses of £17.6m after the resort was closed for six months for redevelopment.
Since Mr Trump took over Turnberry in 2014, its losses have totalled £33m
I am sure it's all 'fake news' and people can't see his long term vision.

It's like the NYT article got it right, his businesses are successful if you ignore the fact his dad was bailing them out over and over again, perhaps his strategy has not adapted to him being dead,
I'm sure Trump will take credit for the new unemployment stats but, in reality, they are only following the trend of the last 8/9 years. If anything, the trend has been slowing down since Trump took over:

He does do one check every morning.

Dont think that is quite correct. I think his check is "are they talking about me?ME ME ME" If so then good else say something until they start talking.
Very compelling article in the New York Times.
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/04/opinion/trump-kavanaugh-ford-allegations.html
Nah, that's not compelling at all, in fact it's not compelling enough to overthrow my initial impression i formed of him after watching his aggressive self gratifying performance whilst under questioning, he came across as a self-satisfied dick.
Doesn't make him a guilty dick though.
Tens of millions of dollars has been directed at the Kavanaugh confirmation battle from both sides, a sign of exactly how important a lifetime seat on a sharply divided Supreme Court is to the direction of the US for decades to come.
from https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-45714482
The truth doesn't matter to either side, all that matters is which side gets control. Both will play every dirty trick in the book to get their way, and use any pawns necessary to do so.
All this will backfire if guilty until proven innocent becomes the norm. Next time the sides could be switched around, the precedent now set. Such is the brass neck of these people the same scripts will simply swap hands (and sides) and be recycled.
The hypocrisy over #believeallwomen isn't getting enough scrutiny either. It should be #believeallwomenaslongastheyareonyourside. Lots of the people backing action as a result of these accusations are the same ones who will downplay or ignore the many more made about the Clintons over the years.
Republican drinking buddies of Kavanaugh when with him in college, have individually reported that he was often stumbling drunk and later, unable to remember what happened during these bouts.
They have had all the usual attacks from the lunatic right via social media and even death threats delivered direct to their homes, yet stand by their statements.
Leaving aside his sexual violence, the above evidence alone disqualified him for the Supreme Court job. He lied under oath.
His supporters in the GOP know this but push through on his behalf anyway. There are upcoming legalities ranged against Trump and he needs a buddy on the Big Bench.
Doesn’t make him a guilty dick though.
It doesn't make him a suitable person to be a lifetime appointment on the supreme court either.

This. He clearly, provably committed perjury in his testimony (an imprisonable offence!). Others have listed the many many ways in which he lied, but even down to simple things like claiming he was of legal drinking age when he was in college. He wasn't. It was 21.
He knew he was lying, he knew people could look it up and see for themselves, he knew that multiple perjuries would be overlooked by a GOP desperate to get him into power.
The GOP might take a hit in the midterms over this, but they'll have control of the Supreme Court for 30 years - doesn't sound like too much of a price to pay.
I wonder how Senator Susan Collins will feel when she realises that she may have just cast the first stone in overturning Roe vs Wade here.
Hmmmmm - THAT'S interesting. Don't know much about her, but it's occurred to me that she'd probably make an excellent future republican presidential candidate.
Hopefully this is a decision orchestrated by her - rather than Trump pushing her out to replace her with one of his crazies in order to derail the dialogue UN. I know she's denied it, but it really wouldn't surprise me if he tried to give the job to Ivanka.
He's already suggested Ivanka is the most qualified person, like, ever
What? More qualified than HE is?
