Yeah, I cant tell if thats a sky news Australia reporter trying to be humorous, or an actual passage. "Things people can say about Trump and be considered credible"

Donald Trump: lovely dad, lovely husband: quote:“Donald Trump’s marriage was perplexing to almost everybody around him—or it was, anyway, for those without private jets and many homes. He and Melania spent relatively little time together. They could go days at a time without contact, even when they were both in Trump Tower. Often she did not know where he was, or take much notice of that fact. Her husband moved between residences as he would move between rooms. Along with knowing little about his whereabouts, she knew little about his business, and took at best modest interest in it. An absentee father for his first four children, Trump was even more absent for his fifth, Barron, his son with Melania. Now on his third marriage, he told friends he thought he had finally perfected the art: live and let live—“Do your own thing.

If you've ever been to the wretched hive of scum and villainy that is Atlantic City, you'll love this one:quote:“Trump’s understanding of his own essential nature was even more precise. Once, coming back on his plane with a billionaire friend who had brought along a foreign model, Trump, trying to move in on his friend’s date, urged a stop in Atlantic City. He would provide a tour of his casino. His friend assured the model that there was nothing to recommend Atlantic City. It was a place overrun by white trash. Edit: holy gently caress quote:“Trump liked to say that one of the things that made life worth living was getting your friends’ wives into bed. In pursuing a friend’s wife, he would try to persuade the wife that her husband was perhaps not what she thought. Then he’d have his secretary ask the friend into his office; once the friend arrived, Trump would engage in what was, for him, more or less constant sexual banter. Do you still like having sex with your wife? How often? You must have had a better gently caress than your wife? Tell me about it. I have girls coming in from Los Angeles at three o’clock. We can go upstairs and have a great time. I promise … And all the while, Trump would have his friend’s wife on the speakerphone, listening in.” pantslesswithwolves fucked around with this message at 21:27 on Jan 5, 2018 |

I'm about halfway through, and God help us all, this book is making me feel empathy for Steve Bannon. This white house is Dwarf Fortress IRL

I'm roughly 35% through. The book has re-framed Steven Bannon from "insightful right-wing strategist" into "career loser who suckers rich people" quite well.

I actually feel kind of hopeful, it paints Trump as so, SO mercurial and easily manipulated that the first year of the administration was consumed by a bitter three way tug-of-war for his attention by Bannon & Co, Priebus/Ryan, and Kushner/Ivanka. If one of those power centers is able to consolidate and basically lock him in a room where nobody else can talk to him this thing might be halfway salvageable. We think he's been doing a speedrun of Stupid Nixon but maybe it's more a speedrun of Bizzaro LBJ shame on an IGA fucked around with this message at 16:08 on Jan 6, 2018 |

OMFGquote:His daughter and son-in-law, their urgency compounded by Charlie Kushner’s panic, encouraged him, arguing that the once possibly charmable Comey was now a dangerous and uncontrollable player whose profit would inevitably be their loss. When Trump got wound up about something, Bannon noted, someone was usually winding him up. The family focus of discussion—insistent, almost frenzied—became wholly about Comey’s ambition. He would rise by damaging them. And the drumbeat grew. E: shortly after that, the most complete and cogent breakdown of Trump's psyche I've seen anywhere. quote:Here was, Bannon saw again, the essential Trump problem. He hopelessly personalized everything. He saw the world in commercial and show business terms: someone else was always trying to one-up you, someone else was always trying to take the limelight. The battle was between you and someone else who wanted what you had. For Bannon, reducing the political world to face-offs and spats belittled the place in history Trump and his administration had achieved. But it also belied the real powers they were up against. Not people—institutions. shame on an IGA fucked around with this message at 19:17 on Jan 6, 2018 |

Relentlessly personalizing everything is a good phrase. Like whackjobs who can't conceive of something not being the purposeful result of (for example) the government / CIA / whatever planning and executing some kind of plan.

Finally getting to The Mooch chapter: he basically just kept showing up every day until somebody gave him a job to get him out of their drat way E: quote:Almost from the beginning, the president had been interviewing potential new press secretaries. He appeared to have offered the job to various people, one of whom was Kimberly Guilfoyle, the Fox News personality and cohost of The Five. Guilfoyle, the former wife of California Democrat Gavin Newsom, was also rumored to be Anthony Scaramucci’s girlfriend. shame on an IGA fucked around with this message at 20:38 on Jan 6, 2018 |

The poor, pathetic excuse for a human being is just pathologically incapable of firing people in person. I really don't get this one. It was his god drat tag line for years on 'The Apprentice', yet he can't do it. He lived his life trying to portray himself as a hard-rear end, bigly successful businessman, yet he can just not bring himself to fire people.
