Or maybe they do. Which is an even bigger problem.

#DrainTheSwamp

 

[DJ Kornphlake]

What's amusing is he actually *is* draining the swamp, but unintentionally, and to his own detriment.

Jesus, still on with Uranium One. I am guessing it is because it sounds scary.

 

[samsnee]

Sounds like he’s the one doing the witch hunt.

Whatever he accuses those against him of, you can bet he is even more guilty of doing it.

CNBC - A mysterious payment to Manafort's lawyer reveals a hidden chapter of Trump's 2016 campaign

• Recent court filings are shedding new light on a mysterious $125,000 payment to lawyers for Paul Manafort, paid by a firm that has not been identified until now.
• The firm is called Multi Media Services Corporation, and its silent owner is Tony Fabrizio, a longtime Manafort associate and the chief pollster on Trump's 2016 presidential campaign.
• The route this money traveled, from its origin as a donation made to a pro-Trump political group, to its final destination in the bank account of Manafort's attorney, offers a window into relationships Manafort built over decades.

Scoop: Trump lied to RNC donors about "Tim Apple" video

Republican donors in attendance called it one of Trump's weirdest lies ever. On Friday night, under a tent erected over the pool at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida, President Trump claimed the media were spreading "fake news" when they said he called the CEO of Apple "Tim Apple."

Trump told the donors that he actually said "Tim Cook Apple" really fast, and the "Cook" part of the sentence was soft. But all you heard from the "fake news," he said, was "Tim Apple."

Two donors who were there told me they couldn't understand why the president would make such a claim given the whole thing is captured on video. Nobody cared, they said, and Tim Cook took it in good humor by changing his Twitter profile to Tim Apple.

• "I just thought, why would you lie about that," one of the donors told me. "It doesn't even matter!"

Between the lines: This isn't the first time Trump has tried to persuade people not to trust video. As The New York Times first reported, Trump privately told a senator that the Access Hollywood tape, in which he talks about sexually assaulting women, was fake. (Trump had previously admitted the voice was his, and apologized for "locker room talk.")

He's so ridiculous.

How does this save "time and words"? Is his time precious because he's missing Fox News stroking his ego? And why is his ego so sensitive that he has to even address this? Everyone misspeaks, why not just laugh at himself and say "My mistake". It's like covefe when they tried acting like it was an intentional word.

Aha, so he wanted to save time and words...but wastes them on this idiotic tweet.
The guy is so small, its incredible.
I bet you that if you go at the guy a bit hard he starts to cry...and i mean literally starting to tear up because he cant handle it.

Wait, what on Earth is a "Military Challenge Edition" of the Bible?

Orange Idiots ego is so fragile he refuses to admit he simply made a mistake and said the wrong thing, and in doing so just looks even more bloody ridiculous.

I thought some of the military academies pushed religion. Could be from there?

That's all he'd need to do. Just show some humility. Someone needs to shake him and tell him, "people will like you more if you at least pretended to be more human!" This is nothing. Say, 'oops,' and move along. Jeeze.

Wait, what on Earth is a "Military Challenge Edition" of the Bible?

Ive seen a bunch of different types of topic bibles. Archeology, history, chronological etc but I've never seen a military challenge edition. I assume it focuses on the military campaigns in the bible. Maybe it has trivia. My local Barnes and Noble had a military bible that had a metal cover that locked shut. That was pretty cool and would have come in handy at school. My school required us to carry a KJV bible and I destroyed a bible every year. Itd end up at the bottom of my bookbag under my doorstopper textbooks. The cover always tore off.

The thing is he can't. He literally cannot stop lying about literally everything. Someone in his 70's who still is lying about his height is a pathetic individual and not a person that should be invested with broad ranging powers to affect society at large.

But this pleases a slice of the electorate who probably wouldn't put up with yhis kind of behavior in someone they knew personally.

I agree. He is pathological.. no exaggeration. He's sick... it's just that his sickness is accepted, even encouraged in the ranks of the grotesquely rich, so it's gone unnoticed up til now. But I believe he truly can't help himself. He's a dry drunk. It's just that his addiction isn't alcohol... it's power and lies.

Isn't it part of the problem that no one really calls him out on blatant lies? (To his face) And when people do try, he'll just change the subject or yell "fake news" and then that's the end of it, everyone moves on...
