Trump, July 2017: Tweet more

The general Trumpian level of hygiene alone bespeaks unwellness.

what I want to know is - why is this highly damaging and super sketchy rationale (he thought the russians would give him dirt on clinton!) the explanation given by the trump people?? the previous NYT article about this meeting yesterday said the meeting was about adoption policy. now this.

At a guess, it's probably because they told a bunch of people that was what it was about at the time. The most recent article suggests that there were a few people corroborating who were informed.

The timing might have something to do with the fact that the case against Prevezon was only settled a couple of weeks ago - in a manner that let the company maintain the idea that they had not been found guilty of any wrongdoing (while paying $6m).

ok what the fuck is foxygen

It's a search engine that helps you find out about things you don't know. Kind of like Google.

I get the feeling he actually thinks this is smart:

I cannot imagine that Congress would dare to leave Washington without a beautiful new HealthCare bill fully approved and ready to go!

That this is using a unique connection with voters to put pressure on congress, instead of looking irrational, impulsive, unhelpful. He is believing his own hype, that's one of the stupidest things about him.

he inherited a lot of money. in the united states, that makes you better than everyone else, except for the other people who inherited a lot of money

I don't have cable, so I'm just gonna assume this is exactly what was said on Fox & Friends this morning (since he's already retweeted their account like six times today):

When I left Conference Room for short meetings with Japan and other countries, I asked Ivanka to hold seat. Very standard. Angela M agrees!

Meant to include Part 2 of this "thought":

If Chelsea Clinton were asked to hold the seat for her mother,as her mother gave our country away, the Fake News would say CHELSEA FOR PRES!

It's amazing that he's still able to form words even as the Creutzfeldt-Jakob eats away what little is left of his brain.

This strikes me as a bad move.

Obviously I'm the first person on a campaign to ever take a meeting to hear info about an opponent... went nowhere but had to listen. https://t.co/ccUjL1KDEa

I dunno, the 'but other people probably did it before I did it so what's even the big deal!' strategy is a pretty canny move. This chess has an infinite number of dimensions.

It's not the crime it's the coverup, doofus. It's not that you took the meeting (though it might be) it's that you did not admit to it, and it's sketchy/suspicious enough that your cohort had to amend a disclosure. Dum Dum Jr.

I love how Trump's Chelsea tweet is basically admitting that he's giving the country away.

Good morning Mr. President. It would never have occurred to my mother or my father to ask me. Were you giving our country away? Hoping not. https://t.co/4ODjWZUp0c

Don Jr. basically looks exactly like what he is, the greasy bad guy son of the evil bad guy in an '80s comedy.

I mean, I get it. If he hadn't had Melania save his seat while he was away, some other country could've snuck in and taken the US's place among the G20.

lollll at how predictably stupid and self-incriminating Junior is proving himself to be. JiC otm

He's going to go under oath and blurt out "Do you know who I am? Do you know who my dad is? You can't stop him. He's going to buy this whole damn town and run it over with a bulldozer, and there's nothing you nerds can do about it!"

Henry F. Potter Jr.

loool Josh

Chelsea Clinton is no more qualified for that role than anyone with a PhD in International Relations.

and no less

lol JiC

a friend called kid sized scoop donnie "discount patrick bateman" which is pretty otm

He only listens to the Weird Al parodies of '80s pop hits.

donnie half scoop

One Scoop Short of a Full Pint.

Omfg those are all great

"discount patrick bateman"

still think "inflated Rupert Pupkin" is a better match

cool twitta thread

(h/t DM) 72 hours after Don Jr met with a Russian agent at Trump Tower, the top Trump fan-site had its largest-ever membership spike by FAR. pic.twitter.com/3ntfZ6USfi

Is Seth Abramson that 'wishful postmodernism' guy or whatever that was?

metamodernism :/

He's the worst.

Well, maybe not the worst.

He's one of these twitter hardy boys people always looking for patterns in the carpet.

If ever a weak Bond villain deserved his incompetent army of lackies...

These racist frogmen credit themselves with Trump winning the presidency.

They aren't wrong

Susan Collins is calling for the Senate Intel committee to interview Don Jr. Strikes me as potentially a big deal.

Turds all the way down.

yes, he is extremely dumb and it will be funny to watch him be interviewed if it's public

Don Jr. under oath with a Trump family lawyer in tow would be quite a thing to see.

it's gonna be hard when Half-Scoop has to live the rest of his life like a schnook

Yeah, it's a little sad that these kids don't realize they're participating in the destruction of whatever inheritance/legacy they might've had if their dipshit dad had just kept his head down and focused on being an amazing businessman and dealmaker.

Operation We Got Don Jr.'s Back

Fucking really?!

Can we exile the Trump family to a fertilizer farm in Mississippi and send all of these vile little bootlickers to be their subjects?
