US Politics - Trump cancels summit having to do with North Korea

All negative polls are fake news now?!?!

This has gone so far beyond parody it's almost proof of the Matrix.

Any minute now, Melatonin will come out as having been pro-Trump the whole time. A few days later, DML will reveal he has fooled us all... again!!

Trump's appealing to his base again; those that have never left America and think everything outside of Breitbart, Fox News, InfoWars and his Twatter feed is fake news.

But it's clever though, because if your get-out clause is that all the media is lying and this stuff is unreported or a grand conspiracy you can't argue it...because your argument is based on the very source they debunk. And the wonderful thing is you can ever expand on the conspiracy. 'Well nobody is mentioning these terrorist attacks because the government has silenced everyone who witnessed it!'

It's like Trump never won the election and is still campaigning. It might be a clever tactic, "I'm not failing, it's just fake news! "Bad economy? No it's great it's just CNN lying!" "None of my policies are going through? It's because of the liberals!".

Trump: But only because the Great American People wouldn't let them get away with not reporting on it. Were it up to the press they'd ignore it. Very sad. Kill the press. Smooches to my Vlad. (Not a killer.)

I agree, my concern is that mainstream media are absolutely appalling when you really dig into the detail of any major story they run, which unfortunately gives idiotic soundbites like that from Trump some legs.

He's preparing for 2020, hence already putting in his application for it.

Much like this time, he has absolutely no idea what to actually do as President. Actually being President doesn't seem to be what matters to him. What he wants is to be able to say he won the election and then say after the fact that he was President when he goes back to directly running his businesses. He's treated the whole thing as just a giant business opportunity.

Trump wanted to be president purely to secure his legacy as something more than a business man. The only thing he has to achieve now is preventing, at all costs, becoming a one term president.

He isn't running the show and I don't think he has the interest in doing so. He is probably happy for Bannon and Pence to run things so long as they don't do anything that he really feels hurts his brand.

His brand is tarnished for good! That's gone forever!

Kellyanne Conway banned by CNN (& others)? -

It depends what you consider as tarnished. Trump undoubtedly believes his brand is exactly how he wants it to be perceived. It's the same with guys like Rupert Murdoch, they don't care if the vast majority of us think they are a c*nt because they consider that as having been a great businessman. They hold the majority in absolute contempt. Just as well, because the feeling is mutual from me!

You do know that none of us actually exist and you've just been chatting with an advanced computer program the whole time.
I thought it was time you knew the truth.

The sheer stupidity of doing that

With America as it is today, I wonder if things would've went a lot worse if they had brown skin.

It does make you wonder what they imagined would happen when they walk into a police station with guns and wearing a mask.

The White House has distributed a list of 78 terrorist attacks to support Donald Trump’s claim that the media is failing to properly report them.

But the list includes many atrocities that received blanket western media coverage including the Paris Bataclan attacks, the Nice truck killings and the San Bernardino shootings.

Many others including the Sydney siege and Germany’s Christmas market attack received wide international coverage.

The list also includes multiple errors and spelling mistakes, including ‘San Bernadino’, and for no apparent reason excludes terror attacks in Israel.

Hmm. I wonder which Chief Strategist wrote that list. Hmmmmmmmm.

I just can't see how this administration is going to last 4 years, it's beyond parody.

Is there going to be a new joke about two idiots walk into a police station in masks and armed?

"Illegally pulled over", strawberry floating morons

What’s terrible about the whole thing is that I think we kind of need Trump to last his entire term while also turning America/the world into a disaster. If he was impeached, quit, died or was assassinated then the idiots that voted for him will just come up with conspiracy theories on how the liberal elite sabotaged him/murdered him and they would go right back to voting in another nutcase.

What we need (and it is really going to hurt!) is for him to do his whole term and get his own way on most things. And we need it to be an absolute strawberry floating shitshow that plunges the world into a ridiculous amount of financial pain that really has a massive negative effect on the rust belt fools that voted for him. Then maybe, just maybe, they will wake the strawberry float up and stop voting for utter cretins that don’t care about them and spend their whole time lying to them.

The idiots aren't capable of learning.

Maybe not, but they are capable of realising that they are in an even worse state and that they were lied to by the orange clown.

Doubt it.

You're gambling on letting the situation going to unprecedented levels of gooseberry fool, in the hopes walking case studies of dunning kruger somehow learn something
