The amount of daily gaffs and embarrassment coming out of a Trump White House will almost make all the terrible poo poo worth it. I mean think of all the scandals and poo poo he said in 12 months. Imagine all that four 4 years. It's going to be a disaster and a majority of this country will have buyers remorse by next Christmas

I was discussing this with my girlfriend earlier. We're european, so any time we saw Obama it was after a school shooting or a terrorist attack, or maybe on a comedy skit. But then I told her "remember Bush?" and wow, that is different.

When it comes to Trump, I believe he will be on our TVs weekly with some kind of gently caress up or lovely phrase. He will gently caress up. A lot. And fire other people for it.

I like how trump supporter sympathizers point to people reacting violently to racism and going "THATS JUST AS BAD!!" actually no, reacting violently to racism is exactly what you should be doing if you're able and comfortable doing so. Violence is one of the must honest and pure human responses.

I don't think you're right. Trump's proven that gibberish answers are a thing and people can't do anything about it. There is zero accountability unless congress et al can swiftly and easily impeach him.

quote:

In the wake of Donald Trump's upset victory, advisors to the president-elect have floated the possibility of naming JPMorgan Chase chief Jamie Dimon treasury secretary, according to two people familiar with the matter, but one of them added that Dimon said he would not be interested in the role.

A Trump spokesperson could not immediately be reached for comment, and a spokesman for Dimon declined to elaborate beyond his past remarks that he would not be interested in the job.

It was unclear who within Trump's circle of advisors raised the idea of appointing Dimon, or what other candidates for treasury secretary might be under consideration. Former Goldman Sachs official Steven Mnuchin is reportedly considered to be the front runner.

Dimon has suggested repeatedly, including in an interview at the Economic Club of Washington in September, that he would not be interested in becoming treasury secretary.

This isn't actually as bad or as unusual as it seems. Paulson was ex-GS and was Bush's treasury secretary. Dimon actually helped contain the crisis in 2008 by taking over some banks that were in really bad condition at the prompting of the government.
