What does a TRUMP presidency look like?

[Razgovory]

On Sunday, just before his huge twitter fit on impeachment Trump retweeted another tweet reporting an verbal attack by Kim Jung-Un against Joe Biden.  Trump's tweet addressed the dictator as "Mr. Chairman".

Okay, I'm done.  I'm taking my crazy pills and going back to sleep.

TRUMP REGULARLY 'CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT HE'S SAID OR BEEN TOLD,' WHITE HOUSE INSIDER SAYS

President Donald Trump regularly struggles to "remember what he's said or been told," an anonymous senior government official behind a new exposé on the inner workings of the White House has claimed.

Much of the nearly 260 pages of the anonymous official's tome, A Warning, which hit bookshelves on Tuesday, has been dedicated to sounding the alarm about Trump's alarming behavior.

While the anonymous author, who is described only as a "senior official in the Trump administration" admits they are not "qualified to diagnose the president's mental acuity," they can say that "normal people who spend any time with Donald Trump are uncomfortable by what they witness."

"He stumbles, slurs, gets confused, is easily irritated, and has trouble synthesizing information, not occasionally but with regularity," the official warns.

Often, they say, "the president also can't remember what he's said or been told."

"Americans are used to him denying words that have come out of his mouth," the senior official writes. "Sometimes this is to avoid responsibility."

However, they say it often "appears Trump genuinely doesn't remember important facts."

One clear example of that, the official recalls, is when the president claimed he was not sure if he had "ever even heard of a Category 5" hurricane, despite having been briefed on at least four other Category 5 hurricanes during his time in office.

"Was he forgetting these briefings?" the author questions. "Or more problematic, was he not paying attention at all? These are events that affect millions of Americans, yet they don't seem to stick in his brain."

The official writes that while Trump has often claimed to be highly intelligent, they say they have "seen the president fall flat on his face when trying to speak intelligently" on a number of topics on which he claims to be an expert.

"You can see why behind closed doors his own top officials deride him as an 'idiot' and a 'moron' with the understanding of a 'fifth or sixth grader,'" the unnamed senior official says.

In addition to questioning Trump's ability to recall basic terms that he has said or heard, the anonymous author also accuses the president of an "astounding" level of "intellectual laziness."

Asserting that Trump barely reads and has required that briefings be shorter and include fewer words and more pictures, the senior official says they are "bewildered how anyone could have run a private company on the empty mental tank President Trump relies upon every day to run the government."

"On television, a CEO-turned-showman can sit around a desk and bark orders at subordinates and then go to commercial," they write. "In real life, a successful CEO has to absorb a lot of information, about the economic climate, about his or her competitors, about product and consumer trends."

"How can you manage a sprawling organization if you won't read anything?" the author questions. "Not very well, it turns out.

While the anonymous official says some Trump defenders might be tempted to write their warnings off "as the musings of Never-Trumpers," they say, "that is not the case."

Anyone who has spent time with Trump and "would claim otherwise" of their account, the official says, is "lying to themselves or to the country."

Trump's intense stupidity must have been known to everyone in NYC real estate at least since the 80s, and surely cannot have been very secret since (even if it wasn't communicated to the general public).

Trump's intense stupidity must have been known to everyone in NYC real estate at least since the 80s, and surely cannot have been very secret since (even if it wasn't communicated to the general public).

And NYC, bar Staten Island, roundly rejected him at the ballot box.

https://abc7ny.com/politics/how-each-nyc-borough-voted-(hint-clinton-didnt-win-them-all)/1598306/

The overall results for the five boroughs overwhelmingly picked Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton with 79 percent of the vote

...

But the results, while consistent among four boroughs, nearly flip-flopped between Clinton and Republican nominee (and now president-elect) Donald Trump on Staten Island. There, Trump secured the majority with 57 percent of the vote and Clinton getting 40 percent. In Queens, the borough where Trump grew up, 20 percent of voters showed their support for the businessman.

The Bronx showed the most support for Clinton, with 88 percent of voters casting their ballot in favor of the female candidate. Manhattan was second with 86 percent of votes being cast for Clinton.

In another installment of proof that Trump can't be a real Russian agent, because a real Russian agent would be far less obvious in demolishing US national security interests, it's being reported that Trump is pressuring the Pentagon to withdraw troops for South Korea:

Perhaps his really good bubby Mr. Chairman Kim told him this would be a good idea.  Right after they had a touching heart-to-heart phone call to talk about what a big old meanie that Joe Biden is.

[Sheilbh]

Didn't he ask for a huge financial contribution?

A bit like how the US sent troops to Saudi because they'd pay a lot for it

Yeah, I heard he was doing a shake down of South Korea.  Something like increasing the housing costs by 500%.

I think that is in fact exactly what happened.

If nothing else, Trump needs to be impeached just to avoid him running wild for 2.5 months after the election (obviously assuming he loses, which is far from given).  If this is how much damage he's willing to deal now to every institution that makes the US strong, then imagine the rampage when he has nothing to lose.

A more realistic worry is how to prevent him from running for a third term.

[Valmy]

Well that would require a Constitutional amendment....that and he is a really old guy.

[Habbaku]

No way Trump doesn't stroke out during his 2nd term with all the pseudophedrine he's doing.

[Sheilbh]

Will add interfering with the military's internal procedures, to meddling with the FBI and politicising the Fed to my list of things where, in 2016, I thought Republicans might draw a line.
