Geeze, you have to give the guy more than a few days. Smile

If the leaks continue apace 30 days from now, then he will be proven to be ineffective.

Of course some leaks from any WH are deliberate tactics of a strategy.

Trump has successfully proven that just about anyone can be president, so maybe we should hold everyone up to the new presidential standard.

Remember when people said that Obama was disrespectful to the office of the presidency??

Yeah, he put his FEET up on the DESK, and sometimes he DIDN'T even wear a TIE!!

It's a brave new world where nothing the crass clown does is too low.

Yes

Do you know these same people don't believe Trump has been disrespectful to the office?

Otherwise what's your point?

Well putting 755 Russian out of work will sure teach us a lesson!

Perhaps some Americans are in that number. But most media (here) reported that it mainly were Russian stuff like interpreters, secretaries, drivers, service persons etc.

I don't doubt it Walter, I just find it amusing in a black humor sort of way.

I only know what those people are saying Finn, none of us know what we're thinking unless you write it down.

I've been reading more FoxNews, Infowars, Newsmax. Not a lot of talk about Trump being disrespectful to the office. Maybe you could find something there that I've missed.

My point is that people were/are full of **** when the said that Obama was disrespectful to the office of presidency but don't say the same about this guy.

Why would I try?

Here again you are claiming to know that there are people who made a claim about Obama who are unwilling to make the same claim about Trump and yet you've admitted you can't identify them

1) again? where did I make this claim the before this
2) you're misrepresenting what I said. I said that I haven't seen the same groups of people (people who write articles at specific websites in fact) publish that claim. They may think it in their heads, but with Obama they appear to have shared those thoughts with the world...but with Trump, it seems like those thoughts are staying in their heads. Again, referring to right-wing websites I view, and I stated that this is my viewpoint...I haven't conducted a media study or anything.

Not sure why you're picking-nits here.

Do you believe that right-wing websites ARE complaining about Trumps disrespect for the office?

Do you not think Trump is disrespecting the office?

I really don't know what you are getting at and I'm curious.

@maporsche,

Damn is this guy just dense? You said Faux News, InfoWars and Newsmax are the ones who made the claims about Obama, but never say the same about Trump. But he keeps saying you can't identify anyone. Does he need names and photos? I think he's lonely and has to play dumb to keep you talking. Kinda sad. Kudos to you for humoring the poor wretch.

Beats me.

I wish there was some policy or something to discuss but this presidency really hasn't accomplished much and there really isn't much on the table to discuss....just this constant flow of Trump's image problems.

@maporsche,

and some worries, presently on the smaller side, about him going off half cocked militarily. His natural interests (golf, his image) seem to pull him away from complicated attack modes day to day, so far.

@maporsche,

Right. May well be the start of something small. I take it as a positive movement though.

@izzythepush,

One interesting cultural difference between England and US/Canada is in the use of "cock" and "****". Far more taboo over here. I'd guess the version(s) of protestant faith and traditions over here are the main cause.

An interesting tweet quoted in the piece

Quote:

Dmitry Medvedev ✔ @MedvedevRussiaE
The Trump administration has shown its total weakness by handing over executive power to Congress in the most humiliating way
1:38 PM - Aug 2, 2017

Notice how he is pushing Trump's buttons in this.

@blatham,

Mueller has empaneled a DC Grand Jury. I think you can call this a 'holy ****' moment for Trump supporters as well as the rest of the country.
