Donald Trump just insulted a union leader on Twitter. Then the phone started to ring.
Source: Washington Post
Half an hour after Trump tweeted about Jones on Wednesday, the union leader's phone began to ring and kept ringing, he said. One voice asked: What kind of car do you drive? Another said: Were coming for you.
Nothing that says theyre gonna kill me, but, you know, you better keep your eye on your kids, Jones said later on MSNBC. We know what car you drive. Things along those lines.

This guy makes pennies for what he does, Voorhies said. What he has to put up with is just crazy. Now hes just got the president-elect smearing him on Twitter.

Trump obviously has Alzheimer's. He has NO filter whatsoever. He doesn't give a damn what kind of damage his tweets do to ordinary hard-working people in the US. He's anti-American worker and completely wrapped up in himself.
Further proof of Alzheimer's. His father had it at donald's age.

and of course a "republican"-----------enough said
And the "media" is trying to "normalize" him by NOT SAYING the words that he a a serial predator, fascists, megalomaniac, fraud, cheat, narcissistic, liar, bigot, racists and crooked republican, that paid no taxes, because he was a "developer"
F*** him and the horse he road in on, he is not my president

(58,785 posts)or react like normal people would. His thoughts are jumbled and erratic, especially if he tries to think about things not about him. He constantly contradicts himself, but truth can always whatever he wants it to be at the moment. If he has a conscience at all, it's vestigial--just enough to warn him that he could get in trouble, but not to feel guilty.
His "affection" for family members probably does not extend beyond his feelings for them as possessions and pleasure in their looks as proof of his own superiority. He is incapable of being interested in anything that he does not see as about him--the reason for his incredible, astonishing degree of ignorance.
He has a very dysfunctionally short attention span, another big reason he probably hasn't read a book since he left school a half century ago, if he did then. His emotional development was arrested some time during childhood. He reacts to embarrassment by erupting in what are called "rages" but not the same as just being angry. And on and on.
I just mention some of this because the OP is accusing him of Alzheimer's, which may well be in play also, but it, like your list of truths, does not begin to get at what an incredible thing we have done to put this dysfunctional fraction of a human being in the oval office. A finger-raper could formulate responsible government policy, this clueless buffoon never.
Kurt Eichenwald has stated he "believes" Trump was institutionalized in the 1990s, but he obviously cannot prove it or it'd have been in Newsweek. Trump would have been diagnosed at that time, though.
Done ranting.

(14,559 posts)as a people to elect a moron like Trump on the heels of his two very successful, even great, terms in the Oval Office.
In order to 'go high when they go low' the Obama family has had to tolerate numerous sickening, hate-filled racial slurs, dog whistles and a Republican party that agreed ON THE NIGHT OF HIS FIRST INAUGURATION TO OPPOSE EVERYTHING HE BROUGHT UP.
Obama is a very, very patient, moral and intelligent man. No doubt about that. And a great president.
But he's probably at the end of his rope. OUR PARTY DIDN'T EVEN COME OUT FOR CLINTON and allowed a guy to be elected that would overturn much of what he and Michelle accomplished. A wanna-be-brownshirt moron who sold us all a bill of goods.
I'd be surprised if he and Michelle aren't thinking, "OK, you elected this asshole. Fuck you, then. You have the government you deserve. Hope you enjoy the social and economic upheaval that will come with that hate-filled new government."
Bless his heart that he actually hasn't SAID that. But we, we Democrats, ran a weak candidate whose campaign didn't even have her visit Michigan and Wisconsin. Not even visit! I'm pretty disgusted about this whole shitty thing.

And, look for the good ol' boy Trump deplorables to form a Sturmabteilung (SA) so they can march against protesters and 'crack heads.'
Look also for a war we unilaterally begin that pits us against the rest of the world.
I mean, let's hope not.
Fervently.
But doesn't it seem like its going this way.
And our people were stupid enough to elect this charlatan.

At the height of the Third Reich, SS-Heinrich had millions working as slave labor in camps and dying in assembly line fashion in others. I don't think Gitmo is big enough to house all the people that will be arrested during the Trump administration.
So where will the camps be, do you think? Red states?
Hey, detention camps are as American as apple pie! Ask the people of Japanese descent.

http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-blasts-carrier-union-leader-hes-done-a-terrible-job/ar-AAlhK3y
Donald Trump blasted the Carrier union's president Wednesday after he said the president-elect "lied his ass off" about terms of the deal to keep Carrier manufacturing jobs in the United States.
"Chuck Jones, who is President of United Steelworkers 1999, has done a terrible job representing workers," the president-elect tweeted Wednesday. "No wonder companies flee country!"
In a subsequent tweet, the president-elect slammed the union for not being able to keep the jobs in Indiana initially.
"If United Steelworkers 1999 was any good, they would have kept those jobs in Indiana. Spend more time working-less time talking. Reduce dues," Trump tweeted.

His Hotel here in Vegas has been ordered by Federal Court to begin bargaining with his Employees Union. Pickets continue to circle the Hotel. SEIU has his number and he is pissed to say the least.
