James Cordon responded perfectly to Trump's continued unethical and unconstitutional insanity with this excellent reply...
This is great. Thanks for sharing!

There has been plenty of feedback indeed. People are the same in more ways than they are different.

Another nasty shock--POTUS appeared to advocate police brutality (urged cops to be "rough" making arrests) in a talk to some Long Island police--he sure needs to use a speechwriter and not speak off the top of his head It's ironic his new head of "communications" at the White House was communicating lots of dirty shocking things to the classy "The New Yorker" magazine, no less. That's just peachy. His administration is trying to demonize marijuana, calls it "dangerous." Actually it has several beneficial uses including medical marijuana, of course, and is hardly a "hard drug" that kills people Then there's the claim #45 said "29 inappropriate things" to the massive gathering of the Boy Scout Jamboree in West Virginia. POTUS made it sound like all or many immigrants are violent killers in another talk recently and described some horrible violent acts which sounded like what terrorists did in London recently, stabbing of innocents out strolling in the heart of London. As if he got it from that. In reality the overwhelming majority of immigrants want to abide by the laws and succeed and contribute. And are not terrorists! They might wish to retain some of their customs and traditions, but that should be considered okay. However, "Time" magazine pointed out three things the Trump administration has done right recently, including the Russia sanctions, recovering some kidnapped Americans from overseas, and says there are three worthy members of the admin. who could be sent to other countries that are allies and try to smooth things over so the latter won't be so apprehensive of the U.S.

The List keeps growing and growing... Trump vs America

Isn't it more like... Trump vs the World? Suzy...not to worry, Trump couldn't stand watching himself acted out by Anthony Scaramucci. We should look at what he had to say very carefully, as I'm thinking he probably said pretty close to what he heard from Trump, verbatim. Even his gestures were the same, weren't they? Well, must have been hard for Trump and others to watch him "give away" what the actual Trump was saying...so he got the "You're Fired" ð???ð?¼ The most telling sign however, about his replacement...when the tweet about getting rid of Trangenders in the military kicked out, and when Trump was tweeting, that he was talking to his Generals, yet the Pentagon and other Generals woke up claiming he had not talked to them... Now we see what general he was talking to... Look at how unstable Trumps decisions are. He is treating this country as if it's a business that he owns. You can see that in his mind, he feels that he owns our country and our healthcare and our Medicare and our Social Security money. He is threatening the the people in our government, as if they are the workers in a company that he owns. If they don't follow his lead he will withhold money from their "project" (the state they represent) See his threat to Lisa Murkowski for example https://www.adn.com/politics/2017/07/26/trump-administration-signals-that-murkowskis-health-care-vote-could-have-energy-repercussions-for-alaska/ He is threatening all of the innocent people in Alaska who are represented by Lisa Murkowski, to withdraw aid to the State of Alaska...because she (a woman, no less) had the temerity to vote against a health bill, that she felt would remove healthcare benefits to the people of Alaska....the state she represents and speaks for!!! This is a very dangerous state of our reality and to our way of living in this country. No other President has been so unstable. Look at all of the players Trump has surrounded himself with in the government, how many of them are being investigated for extremely serious charges... True to his show the Apprentice...he wheels and deals and fires people on his own whim...regardless of their true talent. Being a part of that team, means having a job in which you are constantly walking on eggshells, no matter the quality of your work. Kellyann Conway and Omarosa both tried to warn us, from the very beginning, you don't go up against Trump, or "You're Fired" yet you don't see them out front anymore. The truth of Trump has been given to us from day 1, now that you look back on what has transpired in this short time of his Presidency. Our country has become the "Apprentice Show" in reality. It's all there...just look. An American movie...cutbacks on the leading edge of Science, which is handing over the reigns to China, on a golden platter...as the new world leader, the retoric of the Climate Change...which has has been proven the world over, in scientific paper, after paper for decades...his downright unstable awkward behavior at major world meetings http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-07-09/did-trumps-g20-performance-indicate-us-decline-as-world-power/8691538 Pushing another NATO leader aside, and then puffing himself up like a peacock https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2017/05/trump-nato-shove Trumps refusal to walk with world leaders at the G7 and refusing to take part in the Paris Climate accord, which our country has backed and science backs. http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/335424-trump-rode-golf-cart-while-g7-leaders-walked-through-siciliy He has a very poor command of the English language in his speeches and especially his tweets, acts erratically and child like, is a bully, is egotistical and retaliatory to a dangerously unstable level and he promises to pardon everyone, including himself, who is breaking the law, in his name... Very dictatorial, harmful to every citizen and it is a very bad movie with a very bad ending promised...this is real life...it's happening right now!!!

You're spot on, L2T, it's frightening and pitiful. He's barely even educated. I watched "The Apprentice" maybe twice, and found it entertaining, but might have tired of the show had I watched it more. "You're fired!" from the Apprentice seems engrained in his psyche and M.O. Part of the reason people voted for him is because he was a T.V. star of a popular successful show. He gets fantasy mixed up with reality, a very dangerous trait in someone with the power to start wars. The showman in Trump compels him to put on those ridiculous rallies (also you wonder if he's emulating Hitler)--other Presidents were satisfied just to be President. That was enough for them. No big "rallies" once they had won. One also fears he might already be campaigning, which is ludicrous. To already be on the campaign trail again. It appears the entire gig of being POTUS is, among other wrong things, one huge ongoing advertisement for him and his "brand," in his mind. A series of "commercials." I think "Mooch" may have culled the vulgar sleazy notion of men sucking their own penises (he used the offensive slang term for penis) from a recent "Time" magazine column by staff writer Joel Stein in which Stein surprisingly referred to that bizarre attempt/action. Anthony Scaramoucci must have read that essay. I wondered why Joel Stein wrote about such a thing in a magazine like "Time."

Someone at that dinner table must have read the article. I still think from the lips of the POTUS to your ears via Anthony. Now Trump has written the account of his son's meeting with Russia...coverup...coverup.

I'm thinking more like... "The People Of Earth" The Whole List...just keeps growing and growing and growing The man is just not emotionally mature enough to do his job in an objective and mature manner. He's a businessman, and not a truly qualified political leader it appears
-
He's barely even a businessman. More like a spectacularly successful grifter.

Best quote I ever saw related to this: The most successful Trump ever was with business, was pretending he was a successful businessman.

It's no surprise because she's a woman and smart women are hated by Trump. This is insane behavior. I'm going with Donald Trump is clearly insane.
Let's be fair. He doesn't hate smart women. He hates all women. And most men. When I was young, I was told that character is how you treat those who can do nothing for you.

Let's be fair again. It might sound strange to us, but every man on the planet wishes he could do it.

It doesn't look like anybody has anything good to say about Trump, its all BAD!!!

Well, he made another highly offensive and obnoxious remark, called The White House "a dump"--

If Trump doesn't want to live in the White House, he can always move out to the hood and open a toupee shop! Trump is just full of sh*t isn't he? Trump hasn't kept one promise since he's been in office!

The only promises that oligarchic profiteers try hard to keep is to make themselves even richer at the expense of working people at all income levels.

I'm thinking he's raiding the pantry as we speak. Didn't he make some comment on things the Obamas and the Clintons kept? I'm sure he will far outdo both of them put together. The auditing will be like his tax returns, not available.

If all of Trump's officials resign, pretty soon he's going to have his whole family working in the White House. This is nepotism at its best!
