(5,857 posts)they were pretty aggressive on a number of fronts -- failure of leadership in the healthcare debate, mocking the WH for the Tillerson / Jared fiasco, poll numbers, etc.
One of the better lines was the rhetorical question asked by one of the guests -- "What's it mean for your health policy when the bill's support and your approval numbers are less than 50%?"

(65,393 posts)Obama an Clinton--or even W!--escaped extreme criticism during their terms as president. But they did not respond in this way.
Even W was not that uncivil and bizarre! He said and did some ridiculous things (like mocking David Gregory for asking the French president a question in French while in Paris), but nothing like the kind of crap Donny Two Scoops pulls.

(9,895 posts)Four score and twenty seconds ago, Jefferson Davis did say (I'm told, I do not listeneth to his snot) that my hat is too tall and my beard too dark. When he was in Virginia back in 1859, we wanted to know my tailor and I sayeth "Nay, Jeff, he is not for those as low as you".
It was all punctuated by a drawing of one man in a resplendent top hat and coat and another with no hat and a shrugging, beaten expression...

(70,510 posts)How much botox is in Don's forehead?
calimary
(81,302 posts)She's a former model so I'd suspect she'd be into Botox, particularly at her age. Gotta keep those appearances up, especially at this level of visibility and image-consciousness. Possible use of fillers in her cheeks could explain why her eyes don't open all the way.
As for him, NOBODY ON EARTH is more image-conscious than this jerk. And for him, I'd wonder how many facelift scars that weird hair is covering.
You aren't exactly a looker yourself, Donald. Nice glass house you live in.

(81,302 posts)Right after their very public and nasty divorce. Got herself a complete facial overhaul. And neck job. And other stuff, too. Spruced herself back up again.
She looked like a million bucks. Vogue magazine put her on the cover. It was sort of a "up yours, donald!" type of gesture.
Only problem with that strategy is - that great youthful look you can get from a VERY good plastic surgeon only lasts a few years. And then time and gravity start outshouting it, and then you're faced (pardon the pun) with a choice. Do you keep going back and getting tweaks and tucks - fighting the inevitable - til you don't even look like yourself anymore? Or do you just relax and be with it, and let nature take its course?
Having covered multiple American Film Institute Lifetime Achievement Award events, they always brought out "Old Hollywood," I could see this in every celebrity who strolled down the red carpet. You start looking like a gargoyle after awhile. Facelifts don't age well. None of those procedures sustains for more than a year or two.

It could be dementia. Anyone with a properly functioning mind knows the president shouldn't be spending his time being a petty asshole. This would be part of a case for invoking the 25th amendment.

(17,276 posts)First, he's long been in a bubble of his own making, and has the idea he can get away with anything.
Second, he focuses on this petty stuff because defending his ego is his #1 priority. And-- he doesn't have enough skills to do much else! So he shuffles around the White House pretending to be Presidential, in between checking out what's being said about him in the media! Attends meetings and pretends to know what is going on, meets heads of state and smoozes, and the rest of the time is obsessed with his media coverage.
Very pathetic.

(101,320 posts)---snip---
The book, by former Texas Monthly and Newsweek reporter Harry Hurt III, described a harrowing scene. After a painful scalp reduction surgery to remove a bald spot, Donald Trump confronted his then-wife, who had previously used the same plastic surgeon.
Your fucking doctor has ruined me! Trump cried.
What followed was a violent assault, according to Lost Tycoon. Donald held back Ivanas arms and began to pull out fistfuls of hair from her scalp, as if to mirror the pain he felt from his own operation. He tore off her clothes and unzipped his pants.
Then he jams his penis inside her for the first time in more than sixteen months. Ivana is terrified
It is a violent assault, Hurt writes. According to versions she repeats to some of her closest confidantes, he raped me.

He's got tiny fingers to go along with his non-existent heart. He cares for no one or nothing except himself. He says nice things about other dictators and mafia figures, but doesn't care about them either, except when it comes to money laundering and then he's all in.

Those who still stand with him must do so because they ARE him. They must like this mean-spirited juvenile pissant shit. This must be who THEY are, too.
That's all I've got, anymore. That's the only way I can even try to understand those who think this is proper and reasonable "presidentin' stuff."
They're evidently okay with this. So then, one is forced to ask - is that who and what THEY are, too?

(14,576 posts)from the sublime, with careful yet caring words from Obama and Clinton, to the just-plain-ridiculous rantings of an emotional five-year-old that somehow conned his way into the presidency.
Every day I recoil in horror at this buffoon and his antics. It's more like watching orangutans in a zoo flinging feces and masturbating than anything else.
How, we wonder, can we have EVER elected such a small-minded, egocentric, uncaring, traitorous, and sociopathic individual to the highest office in the land is utterly beyond me. The guy is truly a giant phallus.

(3,435 posts)She may have a possible defamation suit. Elfeogringo, the ugly and very bad and very loco American (vicente Fox' name for eltrumpf not mine ) is the head of the federal government, HIPAA's (accronym for Health Insurance Protability and Accountability Act ) primary function is patient medical history privacy protections, so now he has access to All of our tax, health, well ....really every thing information. What's good for the goose is good for the gander, so everyone out there release everything you got on this man, now holds bar, we need to fight fire with fire!
Is he Heddy Lamar incarnate, tabloid gossip monger? It suits him, he wears it well and seemingly an ideal career for him, and NOT PRESIDENT OF THE USA because very soon, I pray, he'll be searching for a new job in the not so distant future. We're approa -ching the batialla, battle all wrong, since he is obviously into tabloid gossip, pretty much consumes his day...we need our own legitimate tabloid (oxymoron right? ) newspaper social media, tv channel , maybe Oprah can lend us a spot to run non stop tabloid Fake news about him and his 24/7, 365days non-stop, until he's impeached, resigns, voted out. He's the king of fake news, so lets give him what he thrives on.
My very Catholic father, the kindest generous man you'll come across, purely altruistic, well one morning and by pure accident he saw a photo of elfeogringo's wife in a nude newspaper photo on my kitchen table, aye! He almost had a heart attack, he's brilliant green eyes almost popped out of their socket;, he had come in from irrigating, off the aceqia, his alfalfa field, he lives a few acres down, so my house is more convenient to come to for a short rest, or just to platicar, talk about our favorite topic, politics of course, or just came in out of the heat for a drink of water, well the man left dismayed, a little dizzy -- maybe it was the heat. Of course we weren't going to discuss what he saw, good cahotlic Spanish/Hispanic father's do not talk about those things, just dont! Yet, I imagined had I said something it would be "it's okay dad elfeogringo, assured us that she was a professional model." Mind you, I did not purposely seek out that photo, it was in a free press liberal newspaper I picked up at the local tienda, store, just down the road. To this day, I make sure to comb through anything I leave on my kitchen table..aye! At the usual father's day brunch at my sisters across the way from my house mis hermanas all sat around the dining table, my parents, all the children ( my parents grandchildren and great-grand children) were out side playing in our commonly shared land (very common among hispanos, Spanish to lI've next door to each other, on inherited ancestreal land; otro storia for another time ) so it was just the adults in the room , and as usuall we'd linger for hours talking about this and that, parents were present (spouses? it was fathers day so I surmise they were home watching a game,) not to worry sisters sent them a plate of food...smart huh so sisters didn t have to cook, (I've got their number!) anyway, so conversation was gauged ...no swearing or talking about female stuff, ok when it's just sisters... So, one of my sisters says elfeogringo, no my thoughts as she speaking, besides we do not use racial slurrs ever... she says his wife was elegant and beautiful, that came about because we were talking about how poor Spicer only wanted to see the pope, a big thing for all Catholics even for me who has been on a perpetual saabstical from all things religious well for most of my life really... I asked did you see them in Rome wi8th the pope? ( my parents have been to Rome a couple of times so, yes, we travel too and abroad..were just average folk, yet when we travel it is to a pilgrimage theme, cuz why travel then, not to manaco to gamble, however parents have been their too) . So I passed the photo I downloaded from Du, pope looked so sad and all those hypocrites and women in their chapel veils, mantillas it was the untimate desecration ! So my sister inserts oh she so beautiful and eloquent, I give her look to kill figuratively speaking, aye she's a closet republican she's trying to provoke, got to keep it nice in front of parents, Damn her..so I say. She not as beautiful or elegance as Michelle, Jesus, I said, trying to goade her, never heard, you say that about Michelle ( oh by the way, we' re very informal regarding the Obamas their familia, our family.. my parents especially, the even have the Obama's family photo on the dining room hutch for all to see, , you've got to love my liberal NEVER VOTE REPUBLICAN parents! Funny, no photo of me and my kids, their grandkids) anyway I looked at her in a way like, you know, I know your no comment of Michelle is because ah ah ..she's black their black yup she's a republIcan..those bigots come in all colors she probably voted for eltrumpf, something noone in this family would ever admit especially in front of my staunch democrat parents. So then, the gloves are off, I prodeeded to tell the story of dad walking in and seeing nude photos of the person in question, .my mom expression oh my...no mom the the body parts were blurred I say...,same sister said, yes I know the ones your talking about, youre right she's tells me and people around the table, that's not so elegant, but that's ok elfeogringo said all ok here cuz she was a professional model, it was all done in good taste I added. Another sister chimed in, and now the they media or someone is saying elfeogringo'a wife is now the most holiest of holy practicing Catholic woman ever to be in the white house, Jacqueline kenedy, of course was first; my dad says yes (he's half listening cuz he's reading the Sunday paper) that's correct, he's the historian and knows his politics. Aye,,,seems to me, I said that in order to be a practicing Catholic one has to be married on the church, not sure are they? I queried people at table so , they all shruggedn now I say we' re to venerate to the non -Catholic woman living in the white house who was a professional nude model? Other sister inserted, seems to me I read some where in Catholic rules state or order that in order to receive communion you need to be of a standing " no sex" if your not married, and can only be remedy wi8th going to confession right after the act (aye not sex word in front of parents) and before you recieve communion. Yes my mom says, thats true.. so got my sister! you need to call them out, point out the hypocracy of elresidente in chief, remind familia that he, his republikkan base, republikkklan congress are not have never been our friends and at every turn wish to do us harm, and that they are all liars!
