Fox news is claiming that Conservatives are mobilizing to Counter Anti Trump protesters.
In ancient times, men built wonders, laid claim to the stars and sought to better themselves for the good of all. But we are much wiser now.

If the road is easy, the destination is worthless.

Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.

I meant to post this before the press conference, but then it was like looking at a train-wreck...

Anyway, the New York Times is reporting that Trump will try to get an independent review of the intelligence agencies by an investment CEO, Stephen Feinberg.

WASHINGTON — President Trump plans to assign a New York billionaire to lead a broad review of American intelligence agencies, according to administration officials, an effort that members of the intelligence community fear could curtail their independence and reduce the flow of information that contradicts the president’s worldview.

The possible role for Stephen A. Feinberg, a co-founder of Cerberus Capital Management, has met fierce resistance among intelligence officials already on edge because of the criticism the intelligence community has received from Mr. Trump during the campaign and since he became president. On Wednesday, Mr. Trump blamed leaks from the intelligence community for the departure of Michael T. Flynn, his national security adviser, whose resignation he requested.

There has been no announcement of Mr. Feinberg’s job, which would be based in the White House, but he recently told his company’s shareholders that he is in discussions to join the Trump administration. He is a member of Mr. Trump’s economic advisory council.


Fantastic, hope the lead prosecutor will be a democrat with an impeccable anti-corruption record.

In Trump's own words:

WAAAAAAAHHH! THE PRESS IS UNFAIR!!! THEY ARE FAKE!!! BOO-HOO!!!'


Holding a press conference because you think the Press is being unfair to you is the most worthless waste of fucking time and resources imaginable. Bush didn't hold a Press conference every time the Press made fun of him, and Obama didn't either whenever Fox News made a stupid as shit, and ultimately false, claim. Trump is the God-Damn President, and needs to fucking grow up and toughen up.

"If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen."

Seangoli wrote:Sooner or later his supporters are going to realize they elected a 70-year-old manchild to the highest office in the land, and his constant crying about how the media is unfair to him is only damaging him more than anything. He's a fucking child who has had everybody just give him whatever he wanted for so long, and now that people are calling him out he can't handle it.

See, this is where I differ from you: Trump is the crybaby candidate of a crybaby constituency. I think they'll relate to his petulant whining because when push comes to shove, they're whiners, too.

At a press conference about his choice for Labour Secretary, he talks about Acosta for eight truncated, Trump sentences and then not once for the rest of the whole fucking thing.

Yup, I mean I've been dissolutioned with big protests ever since Occupy was infiltrated by irrelevant third parties that successfully discredited it from the inside. Now that big business is invested into protests it gives pretty much both parties the ability to from mass protests at will, when there is something to protest of course. We saw it with the tea party, and while there is certainly grass roots movements involved in these aspects, it's not the same as say the Kennedy Era.

Still, Trump seems to be progressing things far more rapidly than I would have imagined. God only knows how effective he will be if he gets a successful pretence to do something.

And the fact that he is devoted so much time and effort into something so incredibly pointless is embarrassing for our entire god-damn nation. He needs to grow up, be an adult, accept that some times people are going to be mean to him, and move on.

Donald "Arrested Development" Trump stopped growing up at the age of 8 (except with regards to his sexuality, where he pretty much stopped developing at 15). If he hasn't managed to become an adult in the 62 years since then, it's not ever going to happen.

Yes.

Also, I think it is funny you assume he'll win even though you're disappointed in him last I checked. But it is hard to know since Trump seems to have people support him even when he goes against what they previously supported, so.
