"I inherited a mess"

[edbermac]

WASHINGTON — President Trump dismissed reports about contacts between his advisers and Russia on Thursday and defended his performance in his first four weeks in office in a contentious news conference that showcased his unconventional and unconstrained presidency.

At a hastily organized White House event ostensibly intended to announce a new labor secretary, Mr. Trump engaged in an extended attack on the news media and boasted that his new administration was a “fine-tuned machine,” not the chaotic operation perceived by many in Washington.

The challenges, he said, were a result of his predecessors. “To be honest, I inherited a mess, a mess, at home and abroad, a mess,” he said.

2. The month Obama was sworn in the economy shed 800,000 jobs.

on its way to shedding several million more in 2009.

There were two badly mismanaged wars being fought on two fronts.

That's what you call inheriting a disaster. Full employment and the lowest national homicide rate since 1964? Not so much.

3. I'd love to pin him down on what he considers a MESS

but I'm sure it would be like nailing Jello to a ceiling--it's just a bumper sticker and he really doesn't know anything about what he's talking about.

6. Bullies always work hard to project on better fighters

When they are getting their ass kicked. Their bullying and shitty ability to fight is never caused by them being cowardly assholes. Trump is doing what is expected of a bully. The key question is when will the Press call him out on the spot?

4. He"inherited a mess" Bull Crap!

Hell, I just had one vote and wanted more against you Trump!

5. What he inherited was created by the obstructionist GOP Congress.

He deserves the mess they left for him.

7. Let me be clear. The only mess President Obama left that asshole

is the republicans of Congress. President Obama left a much better nation in ALL important regards than the one he inherited.

8. He THINKS he inherited a mess. The reality is much different. n/t

9. from their perspective, yeah: gays being treated like people; "lazy" people living off their money;

a BLACK MAN in the White House???@!!?? and all these regulations stopping companies from making money...not fair! And it's against God!!

so, yeah, a big mess, from a certain perspective.

just like "drain the swamp." You probably thought that meant getting rid of the borderline-criminal element of corporate lobbyists and piratic Wall Street financiers and such...Nope! As far as some of these fuckers are concerned, swamp's gettin' drained! Of a bunch of "libtards" and other assorted elite snobs and social justice warriors. Not Christian enough!!

the morons who still support this jackass will probably change their tune if they manage to force a bunch of this "America First" trade-war bullshit on us. I'm kind of hoping it won't come to that, but so far hoping hasn't gotten me much....

10. Trump's mess is his administration. No elected President inherits an administration.

An elected President is solely responsible for their administration.

Pence will inherit a mess.
