Trump has (

trump beat 16 republicans, faux news, the entire GOP who went after him and a woman who rigged the DNC election. currently kicking ass everywhere as well.
so whatever he is doing, it's working for him, liberal heads are exploding and he is playing them like a fiddle .

Oh I'm sure it is. Trouble is, it isn't working for the rest of the country or the world at large.

Workin' fine for me too. But then again I was fine under 41, Clinton, 43 and Obama as well. It's almost like if you're American and have your shit together it doesn't matter so much who the president is.

In Slyfoxx's world, the Bush's shall not be named.

The Bush's, Clinton, and Obama were all internationalists and supporters of Western liberalism.

How do you write the plural of Bush? Can't really be an apostrophe can it though I understand apostrophes have become quite the thing these days.
Have to say that not one of the changes of UK government, since 1972, have really made a hap'orth of difference to my personal circumstances so I'm with Sly on that one.
The latest US version, though, seems to border on the outright dangerous, IMO. Who'd want to be an ex-diplomat in that country. Or even a legal immigrant with a misdemeanour record?
I still don't understand how anyone can support someone who lies day in and day out in the way Trump does. Do millions of people really have no ethical or moral principles?

says you , NK is talking to denuclearize, economy even with his stupid tariff war is doing good, unemployment for AA's & Hispanics at a record low. other than liberal protesters who have their feelings hurt things here seem to be fine.

If Trump's presidency has been good for one thing, it's been great for drawing out the assholes that previously lurked undetected among us.

When the word of an ex-KGB agent overweighs your own country's entire intelligence apparatus:

WASHINGTON — Two weeks before his inauguration, Donald J. Trump was shown highly classified intelligence indicating that President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia had personally ordered complex cyberattacks to sway the 2016 American election.
The evidence included texts and emails from Russian military officers and information gleaned from a top-secret source close to Mr. Putin, who had described to the C.I.A. how the Kremlin decided to execute its campaign of hacking and disinformation.
Mr. Trump sounded grudgingly convinced, according to several people who attended the intelligence briefing. But ever since, Mr. Trump has tried to cloud the very clear findings that he received on Jan. 6, 2017, which his own intelligence leaders have unanimously endorsed.
[...]
Almost as soon as he took office, Mr. Trump began casting doubts on the intelligence on Russia's election interference, though never taking issue with its specifics.
He dismissed it broadly as a fabrication by Democrats and part of a “witch hunt” against him. He raised unrelated issues, including the state of investigations into Mrs. Clinton's home computer server, to distract attention from the central question of Russia's role — and who, if anyone, in Mr. Trump's immediate orbit may have worked with them.
In July 2017, just after meeting Mr. Putin for the first time, Mr. Trump told a New York Times reporter that the Russian president had made a persuasive case that Moscow's cyberskills were so good that the government's hackers would never have been caught. Therefore, Mr. Trump recounted from his conversation with Mr. Putin, Russia must not have been responsible.
Since then, Mr. Trump has routinely disparaged the intelligence about the Russian election interference. Under public pressure — as he was after his statements in Helsinki on Monday — he has periodically retreated. But even then, he has expressed confidence in his intelligence briefers, not in the content of their findings.
That is what happened again this week, twice.
Mr. Trump's statement in Helsinki led Mr. Coats to reaffirm, in a statement he deliberately did not get cleared at the White House, that American intelligence agencies had no doubt that Russia was behind the 2016 hack.
That contributed to Mr. Trump's decision on Tuesday to say that he had misspoken one word, and that he did believe Russia had interfered — although he also veered off script to declare: “Could be other people also. A lot of people out there.”
