Look, how can Trump possibly hope to get his agenda passed when there are so many more pressing emergencies he must fix that were created by Trump?

evilweasel posted:he doesn't because he is too afraid of personal confrontation to actually fire people, according to an overwhelming number of leaks from his administration When you have direct confrontation with someone you learn just how much they respect you, Trump knows the moment he loses power over them they don't even have to pretend to have a veneer of respect. Hell I doubt even Trump supporters have any actual respect for the man, he's just someone who is a projection. There's nothing about him that you would hold in esteem and anyone given a moment would punch him Richard Spencer style. He's possibly the least respected President in history, if such a metric exists, in which he's being treated like a ceremonial figure head with no tangible power and who just happens to be in a role of supposed power but no one takes seriously. I'm not saying this in a way of "you should take himseriously", I am aware his bigotry and hatred and voicing and love of eugenics etc. are all words and ideas that through him and his various proxies gain power and traction, but that doesn't change that the man himself is somehow someone who will never be respected (and part of me believes he wanted to be President because then everyone would have to respect him, and it didn't work so he's lashing out with "Why Won't You Love Me?!")

CEOs leaving Trump's symbolic councils is going to eat at him far more than any other aspect of the Charlottesville incident. Having so many of America's most successful people insult him so publicly is probably the single worst part of his presidency. We will be getting angry Saturday tweets about this for years to come.

Fitzy Fitz posted:If I really have to clarify this: I'm aware of the prison industrial complex, that modern nations have slavery, and that human trafficking is a major issue in the US. If they wanted to make a show about realistic forms of slavery, I don't think it would be about a modern fantasy version of the Confederacy. Welp. Sorry about being a triggered snowflake. Lid posted:The thing is that Trump voters can't pretend, they can't convert and say "I voted for Hillary" because both the narrative isn't she was good either, but there is nothing good in saying that to them. It's more likely they'll justify the idea of Trump, the Lost Cause of the Whites Will Rise Again. They don't want to pretend. It's usually proudly spun as "I will vote for anyone opposing nasty Hillary."

Basically, Trump wanted to throw a party, but all the people he invited told him it would be social suicide to be seen with him, so he yelled "Hey, everyone! I'm cancelling my party!" in the hallway.

i mean basically no nation has more cause to hate nazis than the former nations of the ussr (edit: besides israel, which is a real obvious one I missed) so we'll see if putin can manage to look the other way just because they support trump (edit: why, look at where israel has managed to talk itself into!)
