Have trump supporter actually ever listened to him talking?
I was more eloquent when I was 5 years old.

That's why I supported him in the election, he's not a career politician.
Well, I can't say that this surprises me ;)

But seriously, I think you should support politicians for their agenda and what they have done so far and not for how much you like the way they talk.

Sounds reasonable.

I think the muricans chose the worst candidates from both parties. Well, I though have to admit I kind of enjoy the clown fiesta currently happening in the USA, even though I'm a bit worried.

I don't think he's insane, just egotistical and incompetent.

and he does not remember what he said before.

see at what he now say about china. now he praise the chinese president as a great person and also china as a great country.

the same thing with north korea, he calls the dictator a smart cookie.

Something can be great without being good and moral. In that sense I would agree China is a great country.

Someone can be smart and intelligent while being a sociopath, I would also agree that Kim Jong is "smart". Most dictators throughout history have been intelligent although a few have been arguably evil.

A bad memory ==/== insane.

Speaking of insane, Trump just shot himself in the foot again.

After his staff and the VP have spent the last few days swearing up and down that the Comey firing had nothing to do with the Russia investigation, and was done only on the recommendation of the DOJ... " class="bbc_link" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Trump gives this interview, discrediting all of it. Lol.

Then, after leaks about some legally dubious conversations between Comey and Trump, Trump threatens Comey on Twitter with this:
Quote
James Comey better hope that there are no "tapes" of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press!

To which everyone collectively squealed with glee, "There are tapes?! Yes please!" Congressional dems have already requested info about the existence of the tapes.

This could be huge, assuming any amount of cooperation from republi... oh... nevermind.

My favorite part is the loyalty oaths Trump apparently requires from all the top people.

The "tapes", I don't know why the quotation marks are necessary, is an interesting situation.  Normally threatening someone with tapes like this would just be a tactic meant to intimidate idiots who don't know any better.  But since he's the president the situation is a little different.  Those "tapes" are now part of the Russian investigation.  Investigators are fully within their authority to possession of them in their entirety.  Trump can't outright refuse to hand them over or claim to destroy them, that would be a felony.  But he also can't hand them over since, um, it's hard to surrender something that doesn't exist.  He can't retract the claim because it would make him look even worse.

So basically we can look forward to Trump spending our tax dollars fighting the intelligence committee's demand for tapes that everybody knows doesn't exist.

Calling someone insane bacause you don't like them is pretty weak Totes, I'd say I expected better but at this point I really dont. I also refuse to go on twitter.

Seems to me like it wasn't totally unreasonable to sack the guy from the FBI we were told months ago they had evidence of a russian "hack" and they still can't deliver any, I agree that they should up their game. I'm not saying Trump isn't also incompetent, although saying anything that even agrees with him 1% is against the narrative and therefore shunned.

We could sit here and rip into the corruption of pretty much every president since JFK, however I personally believe the corruption runs much deeper than the president of the day. We were warned by early presidents of the US about this corrupt influence, I belived we failed to act.

In the year of 2000 there were seven countries without a privately owned or controlled Central Bank:

Afghanistan
Iraq
Sudan
Libya
Cuba
North Korea
Iran

Three left.

I know I know, I'm insane too etc, the 6pm News tells us everything we need to know about everything. I don't mind being called crazy anymore.

I am sorry that politics are so bad at the moment, it's not good for anyone. I'm not even sure how we can start to fix it anymore.

I call him insane because of the insane things he says and does on an almost bi-weekly basis. But by all means, continue your little perpetual tantrum against me.

#MAGA!

I suspect he will claim that the tapes were just hypothetical, and that he was only saying that if such a tape existed, it would prove him right. I think there is a strong possibility of the tapes actually existing though. If the administration continues with the "no comment" strategy, then I would be pretty confident that the tapes actually exist.

The irony of this whole situation is hilarious though. "How low has President Trump gone to tape tappe my phone calls during the very sacred investigation process. This is Nixon/Watergate. Bad (or sick) guy!" -- Comey, hopefully.

It's possible there are tapes.  It's happened before obviously.  I doubt it though for a few reasons.  A recording device around a president is more of a liability than an asset. It's a government record so it's illegal to destroy.  To act against a president requires an enormous amount of hard evidence.  These recordings would be a goldmine.  Conversely a president can act against anyone with a much lower burden of proof.  It has to be taken as a whole so whatever it reveals about Comey it would probably turn up more dirty laundry on everyone around him.  With this president, recording all the conversations in the oval office would be even more of a liability.  He can't stop incriminating himself in public.  Can you imagine how bad the things he says in private are? 

All of that aside if there were a recording of this dinner conversation I seriously doubt that releasing it would help Trump's case.  Comey knows the law and most likely acts as if he's always being recorded anyways.  Trump... whenever he says something accurate I'm always taken aback.

I'll make a prediction.   

Trump is safe so long as his republican mates stick by him.   The moment it reaches a tipping point and the likes of  Ryan, Sessions,  McConnell decide to jump ship,  he will go down in flames.

As to what that tipping point might be,  I don't think firing Comey was it,   and it depends how deep the likes of Sessions and others are involved in collusion with the Russians over the election hacking.

Rachel Maddow is always good for an update,  although her style of leading the audience is a bit off putting at times.

Well yeah, the smart thing would be to not record everything. But this is Trump we are talking about. I'll bet 10 aisantaros-bucks that those tapes exist. I'll bet 10 more aisantaros-bucks that the whitehouse maintains a strict "no comment" policy on the existence of the tapes... until Trump starts making off-the-cuff, slightly contradictory denials of their existence out of frustration.

The official, who spoke to Reuters on condition of anonymity, said the arms package could end up surpassing more than $300bn over a decade to help Saudi Arabia boost its defensive capabilities while still maintaining US ally Israel’s qualitative military edge over its neighbours.

Super yuck.

Banks should be public rather than private, like water and healthcare.

Trump is obviously mentally ill. Also he shows clear signs of dementia.

No, believing something is wrong only because the "media" say it is true is not a reasonable approach.

I agree, it would be better if he stated that.
On the other hand, this is an online forum. So, unless sources are provided or something is specifically stated as a fact, I generally assume it's just the posters opinion.

You do not have to be a doctor to see that somebody is lame. Except he simulates.

Likewise you do not have to be a psychologist to see that Trump has a narcissistic personality disorder and is demented (though, of course, lots of psychologists have warned the public that this is the case).

but who knows, maybe it's all part of a incredibly smart, devilish plan.

And yes indeed, it is quite commonly known that American politics is corrupt.
