DT: Mueller's appt hurts us terribly and shows, "we're a divided, mixed up, not-unified country."

[pnwmom]

And DT is having a terrible, horrible, no-good, very BAD day!




http://www.cnbc.com/2017/05/18/trump-says-appointment-of-special-counsel-hurts-our-country-terribly.html

President Donald Trump said Thursday he thinks the appointment of special counsel for the Russia investigation is bad for the United States.

"I believe it hurts our country terribly, because it shows we're a divided, mixed-up, not-unified country," Trump said. "And we have very important things to be doing right now, whether it's trade deals, whether it's military, whether it's stopping nuclear — all of the things that we discussed today. And I think this shows a very divided country."

Trump made his comments during a lunch with reporters and TV anchors.

"It also happens to be a pure excuse for the Democrats having lost an election that they should have easily won because of the Electoral College being slanted so much in their way. That's all this is. I think it shows division, and it shows that we're not together as a country. And I think it's a very, very negative thing. And hopefully, this can go quickly, because we have to show unity if we're going to do great things with respect to the rest of the world."

1. DT is "a divided, mixed up, not-unified" consciousness. nt

[Saboburns]

2. Right on Donald

I for one want to thank you for uniting this country. Your work in screaming about POTUS Barack Obama being born outside the US was hugely helpful. Leading the lock her up chants to Hillary Clinton, was again, a master stroke of unity.

It is to fecking laugh.

Its just madness.

Madness.

3. YOU DIVIDED IT.

by insulting your way to victory.

it's one thing to beat an opponent when you're gentlemanly about it, but people don't forget insults. go ask any Deplorable if they've forgotten what they think HRC called them.

[smirkymonkey]

23. +1000

How dare he accuse anyone else of being divisive when that is what he based his entire campaign and now his presidency on. His hypocrisy is astounding!

[former9thward]

24. When they started lableing states red and blue was when it became divided.

I think that was in 2000 but it might have been before.

[maxsolomon]

26. when they impeached Clinton i became 100% partisan

I'm not laying this on the MSM

[cyclonefence]

4. Does anybody have the faintest idea

of what DT means when he says (and he's said it several times now) that the electoral college is "slanted" in the Democrats' favor, making it hard for a Republican to win? Does he understand that he won the electoral college vote? When he was showing people those red and blue maps showing which voting districts he won, did anybody explain to him how that works?

I have met ivy-league-educated men who are not very bright, and I understand that with "legacies" and donors like Jared Kushner's father, not everyone admitted to a selective college is going to be a genius. But surely they have to have a normal IQ? I'm not convinced that DT has an IQ above 90, and I'm as sure as I can be that he can't read--hence his second-grade vocabulary.

On top of his crippling mental health issues, this--well, stupidity, I guess--must make his life very difficult indeed. It's a good thing he inherited a lot of money; otherwise he'd be unemployable.

[pnwmom]

5. He doesn't mean anything. He'll SAY ANYTHING he thinks might work. And he does get some

ignorant people to believe anything he says.

[marylandblue]

6. Before the election the Democrats had a "firewall"

that added up to 242 electoral vites. Unfortunately Teump took 3 states in that firewall.

[cyclonefence]

11. I bet you're right

because the second part of his verbiage is about how the Democrats should have won--but that was a situation related to voting itself, not to any inherent bias in the electoral college, which is what I think *he* thinks he's talking about. But I think you've solved the mystery for me--thanks.

7. This shit is just annoying

He could at least have the goddamn respect to put together coherent sentences instead of sounding like a nine year old.

[defacto7]

8. yeah, it's divided againt you.

One ugly note... Trump has the executive power to dismiss Mueller. Hope he's not gearing up to do so with this false rhetoric.

[pnwmom]

10. He would have to fire both Rosenstein and Mueller.

And then he can sit back and watch himself get impeached.

[defacto7]

12. Hope your right....

Listening to Dan Rather on Rachel Maddow yesterday he warned that if Trump dismisses Mueller in the next 2 or 3 weeks Trump would probably get away with it and it could be the end of the Republic. If he waits, it's more likely to catch up with him. Not sure what his reasoning was but my heart sank a bit. I didn’t know it was possible to dismiss him.

[canetoad]

17. I read somewhere in GD yesterday

That Trump cannot directly fire Mueller. He CAN fire Rod Rosenstein but he has to find a new Deputy AG who will fire Mueller. I think I got this right...

[defacto7]

19. I'm going to listen to that Maddow show again...

There was a senator on the intelligence committee (I think) and Dan Rather and both seemed to agree the president has the power to fire... I'm curious now... maybe I got it wrong.

[defacto7]

20. I just listened to part of the Maddow show...

Start at about 35 min into the show to the end. Neal Katial (spelling??) former attorney general who wrote the regulation by which Mueller was appointed. Rachel asked bluntly what we should worry about, he said directly that the president can dismiss Mueller. That's what we should worry about.
It's repeated by Rather and another time when Rachel was quoting another source.

It sounds like the president can fire Mueller.

Glad to hear if there's an argument that contradicts those sources.

[canetoad]

21. Surely he's not THAT stupid

Well, maybe he is.

[defacto7]

22. Rather makes a scary point about

the reasoning. You should just listen to it, I don’t want it to be my word, I'm just parroting what I hear. Makes me uneasy.

[titaniumsalute]

9. WE ARE NOT UNIFIED you fuck face

I will not EVER unite with you and your piece of shit, ass-backward, cross-eyed, mental midget, administration.

[Iggo]

13. It's the truth, idiot. We ARE divided. We're NOT unified. And it SHOWS.

[malaise]

14. If Hillary's three million more votes haven't shown him

that the country is divided, he's a bigger fugging idiot than I previously thought.

[WinkyDink]

15. He said 5 truthful words: "...hopefully, this can go quickly...."

[tblue37]

16. He means it hurts HIM. To Trump, "L'Etat, c'est moi!" nt

[onenote]

18. So does the Donald support getting rid of the Electoral College and going to a popular vote election

[roamer65]

25. You are re-unifying it, Dump.

The visceral hatred of your sorry ass is the catalyst.

[C_U_L8R]

27. Yeah right

Who's the fucking wall builder?

[neeksgeek]

28. Definitions

The word unified, in Republican, is synonymous with the word compromise.

Both words mean, "I get what I want and to hell with your ideas."

[Eliot Rosewater]

29. Some of us, the ones who want to see your ass in jail, arent divided.

[NCjack]

30. #45 campaign lies and his broken promises to help the 47%

are dragging him underwater.

[MyNameIsKhan]

31. Trump needs to be locked in Gitmo once Muller will indict him...

[Turbineguy]

32. Bigly

guilty.

Will the republicans save the biggest Russian intelligence operation ever?
