Trump: Monday will be day one of administration

What Trump said about our governor is sadly true though he probably didn't help himself in New Mexico by saying it as she is well liked. New Mexico is not significantly better off after six years of Susana and she has been unable to get several good ideas through our legislature that is controlled by Democrats. We have definitely had worse governors. But Trump didn't 'throw her under the bus' any more than he has thrown anybody under the bus. When people attack him unjustly or maliciously, which she did, he returns fire regardless of who they are.

Up front, blunt and candid. Those were highly regarded values in the large corporation where I worked for many years. Highly valued in many others businesses as well it would appear, and might be one of the charms identified with by many of his supporters, I suppose.

By your measure, I'm sure. So in other words, never met. Yeah, I really doubt that playing the race card is going to end any time soon.

Thing of it is, many are getting tired of it, have stopped believing it, after it being proven so wrong so many times, and soon, if it isn't already now, will be damaging yourselves by using it. Boy that cried wolf.

But, as you were.

Here, the attention lies on what Trump has said re NAFTA. However, observers note that Trump has not, to my knowledge, said anything regarding Canada, and even if NAFTA is scrapped, the US and Canada revert to it's predecessor, the US - Canada trade agreement.

This news leads me to believe that Trump has played his hand with some finess; that just about everyone concerned is in for some surprises with this guy. I, however do not share your interest and enthusiasm for Trumpcare, from all early appearances it will be a stripped down Romney care. What IS curious is how he will deal with an existing diagnosis. I have a funny feeling he's going to make the insurance industry gag on it.

Yes, TrumpCare will be very ObamaCare like, but that beats the Ryan plan: Health Savings Accounts and better competition by selling insurance over state lines?

Basically, that means start saving young (real young) for your cancer! :doh

When Trump comes out and says a Mexican can't judge fairly, that's racist.

When Trump comes out and suggests grabbing women by the *****, that's sexist.

When Trump imitated a disabled reporter, that was just plain offensive.

Trump didn't imitate a disabled reporter. This has been debunked.

Who knows all the details surrounding Trump's case before that judge. Maybe it's true.

As stated by Trump himself, locker room talk, so braggadocio caught on a hot mic.

If you want to see how sexist Trump is, take a look at how many qualified and skilled women he hired to, or promoted to, executive positions in the business. He's done the same with his administration.

We said he didn't have any applicable experience when he got elected. He wasn't vetted at all AT ALL by the MSM. Trump has gone through the gauntlet of hell with the MSM.

Bull****. Both Trump and the MSM got what both wanted. The Media got ratings and sold papers. Trump got BILLIONS in free publicity.

You Cons with blaming the media for all of your, and Trump's problems and screw-ups is comical. The Right admit Trump has faults and is/was 1 of the worse candidates in the Republican field. But then when he screws up and the media points out his F'ups and faults you guys scream 'bias media'. LOL

The media is now the go card for the Cons. They play the 'victim card' for everything wrong on the Right and in the GOP.
 
A friend of mine grumbled about Obama's orders... I checked: he issued fewer orders than many of his predecessors.

Sorry to bust your & Trump's bubble, but it looks like North Korea isn't taking the weekend off!

Hey, I'm not going to beat on Trump here. I know that "on the first day" crap, is metaphorical B.S.

But the world doesn't take off on weekends (as we see here) ...

Good thing Trump only sleeps 4 hours a night, rarely takes a day off, and is found to be either working or thinking almost all the rest of the time.

AMERICA WINS!

He said "you should see this guy" and then imitated him. This has been absolutely, unequivocally proven.

Trump said that because of his Mexican heritage, he was biased. That is brazen racism.

And yet somehow no other president in history has ever been in this hypothetical, magical locker room that can turn a man into such a despicable human being. Interesting.

You really wanna go there? Okay, let's talk about the women he has business relationships with- like the girls as young as 15 he barged into the changing room to see naked.

To show the depths of the deceit, one CNN reporter explained, while displaying a still photo of him, that Kovaleski, “suffers from a chronic condition that impairs movement of his arms.” Again, the implication is that Kovaleski can’t control his arms from moving. To the contrary, Kovaleski appears perfectly calm when giving interviews. Thus, if Trump truly wanted to mock Kovaleski’s disability, he would have had to stand perfectly still with a flexed right hand and not flail his arms. don’t believe me? Watch the video:


In addition, Trump used the same flailing arm movements in a South Carolina rally to impersonate a flustered Ted Cruz being asked about waterboarding. To my knowledge Cruz is not physically disabled:



Thus the true story is as follows: Donald Trump embarrassed the media by finding the 9/11 Washington Post article. The media found the reporter who tried to backtrack. Trump impersonated the reporter backtracking. Media points out the reporter is disabled, but only releases still photos of his flexed hand. Public assumes from Trump’s impersonation and being told by the media that he is mocking a disabled man that the reporter must not be able to control his arms and Trump is a dirtbag who hates the disabled. In reality muscle spasms or involuntary arm movements are not part of the reporter’s disability. Therefore Trump could not be mocking a disability that doesn’t exist. Hear Trump respond to the claim below, which perfectly coincides with the series of events described above:



Thus, Trump’s impersonations of a flustered reporter several months ago was turned into a left-wing and Establishment GOP narrative whereby Trump somehow hates the disabled. This despite the fact that Trump has given millions to charities that help the disabled including raising nearly six million dollars for Wounded Warriors just recently, a million of which was his own money.

You realize this thread is about how he's basically calling off the very first two days on the job right? :lol:

Trump: Monday will be day one of administration

[D]ay one – which I will consider to be Monday as opposed to Friday or Saturday. Right? I mean my day one is gonna be Monday because I don’t want to be signing and get it mixed up with lots of celebration,” Trump said, according to a transcript of the interview.
Trump will be inaugurated on Friday and is expected to attend celebrations that night.​

Remember during the campaigning Trump was promising "on day one I'll... on day one I'll... on day one I'll... on day one I'll..."? So the asshole gets inaugurated on Friday, and is immediately taking time off. The hilarity of this is that GW Bush took more vacation than any modern prez and now this from Trump but the last eight years we had to hear about how Obama was golfing and vacationing too much from the likes of the trumpanzees.

Day one is too hard for me... I'm gonna push day one back. :lol:

The Russians could nuke us on day one, and Trump won't have the codes to strike back. Nope. Like it or not, he is going to be working Saturday.

Well, he says he's taking-off this weekend, and Kim Jong-un seems to be getting feisty over tomorrow.

Oh of course I thought not. Hey listen, you can prove just about anything you want if you pick out the words that support what you want to prove.

How about you ready the entirety of my post and look at the video. The gesticulation carries over across multiple instances across multiple people, therefore not applicable to any one of them in particular. The claim that Trump mocks a disabled reporter has no foundation.

That Trump mocked a reporter, sure. He has mocked a number of people, including most everyone in the primary as well as other reporters.

Moving off the first of his executive orders to Monday is probably not such a bad idea, as no doubt there will be a very loud part of the media screaming that the even issues one. He still has to get the rest of his cabinet confirmed.
 
I'm just glad we finally have someone who confirm that we have actually encountered aliens cause there is no way he is going to be able to contain himself after the guys at Area 51 let him poke the bodies with a stick.

It is your choice if you want to pick on every minute detail. If that's what's make you happy, then knock yourself out. If it just makes you angry, than try focusing on some of the things we all have in common and take off some of the filters that you are using to see everything through.
