So we're about halfway through his Presidency.

But it's progressing at an increasing rate.

Soon, scandals will break before they even happen, and then it will all be over.

The world, I mean. Though that also means the end of Trump's presidency, so maybe OK still

lol, its been 4 months

The old Trump thread had 12 million views since the election. The Middle East thread that's been around since the Arab Spring in 2011 has 10 million.

We'd probably break 200 million views if the forum software would support a thread with that many replies (and we weren't switching) over the Trump presidency.

Trump doesn't understand the philosophical differences between what he said during the campaign and the people he hired to write his budgets and it is going to hurt him A LOT politically.

Hot take: Trump contradicts himself so often because he can't actually remember anything he's said in the past.

Considering how useful Benghazi was for them, I don't see how this isn't advertising to cut harder and faster so that they can go apeshit blaming whatever democrat they want to try to blame it on next time. They don't give a gently caress about the safety of embassies or americans.

@daveweigel (Dave Weigel, Bloomberg Politics, formerly Slate): "Idiosyncratic libertarian" journalist who is second only to Robert Costa in connections/interviews with Republican officials. Contrary to popular belief, not D&D superstar Joementum.
@BruceBartlett (Bruce Bartlett, ex-Reagan/Bush official): "Lifelong conservative who now thinks the GOP panders to fools, whom he calls wankers. My tweets should not always be taken seriously."

If it weren't for how cripplingly bad for this country Trump is i'd give him the benefit of doubt for possibly, and finally, destroying the republican party through sheer incompetence.

For fuckin' real how do you nominate and get in a bernie madoff economist, like literally profited from Madoff. Madoff worked because nobody scrutinized it as it happened, this poo poo is pulled apart within an hour.
