Kayleigh McEnamy is not a bimbo, she's highly educated. Why has she gone down the path she's currently on? - no idea.

Some would say "Bimbo is as Bimbo does". Maybe that's too simplistic. 

 

It's difficult to imagine what future gain she believes she will make by lying for Trump. If she's really bright she must surely understand that she is sacrificing her credibility for the rest of her career. 

 

The only explanation I can find is that like many Trump supporters she scrupulously avoids finding or discerning the truth. This affects the most even the most brilliant minds and is called willful ignorance, prideful ignorance, or simply saving face. 

This is a fatal disease that few can recover from without painful self-recrimination.

She wants money and fame and will bench her religion and morals to get it. An intellectual bimbo but still a bimbo.

I hope the money is good because it may be all she makes for a while. She really isn't getting much fame either and Trump will dump her soon anyway. He likes to keep a fresh stable of blondies rotating thru the Whitehouse.

Blond, 32 year old Harvard educated lawyer. Don't kid yourselves, she could go very far in right wing politics in home state Florida or nationally. Governor? President? Who thought Trump could end up as president when he was that age? This woman's credentials are far beyond what his were. Wonder if she changes parties like H.R.C. or E. Warren?

Trump is trying to claim he only acted like Churchill!

 

"We have to be calm. We don't want to be crazed lunatics. ... When Hitler was bombing London, Churchill, a great leader, would oftentimes go to a roof in London and speak. And he always spoke with calmness" 

 

Churchill's first speech to the house contained the following

 

"I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat. We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many long months of struggle and of suffering"

 

One suspects Trump would have been saying 'Hitler will just disappear', so more Neville Chamberlain than Winston Churchill.

How can you compare Trump to Churchill or Chamberlain? Richard Nixon maybe, liars and crooks!

Yes, trump businesses did so for years, while he was ranting against the practice.

 

A member of the minority, the majority are diametrically opposed to trump's highly divisive rehtoric - roll on 03/11 for the elimination of trump and his sycophants. 

Really? In the business of Real Estate? Simple1 really now. I am unaware of any manufacturing operations undertaken by Donald J Trump. Perhaps you can elaborate. If you cannot elaborate you know what that means right!

Richard Nixon was known for an attempt to break into the Democrat National Committee to obtain information. Donald J Trump is known to be a victim of a spying campaign to remove him from office which used a Dossier to obtain warrants that was bought and paid for by the Democrat National Committee. As for comparison to Chamberlain or Churchill. just to put things into perspective. Donald Trump has sounded the alarm on China (as did Churchill on the Nazis) while his predecessor claimed to hit a reset button that just made a sound. On the other hand Donald Trump's alarm has been followed with concrete actions, both of an economic and defence nature, which those who care about such things are very much well aware of. New bases going up in the Asian region, increased patrols of the South China sea, and a confrontational approach to trade that refuses to allow China to continue to NOT play by the rules. Expect further military trade and cooperation with Taiwan soon. Chamberlain was not very confrontational at all.

You are more then welcome to pick the points you wish to dispute and then do your best to dispute the points you disagree with. That is how argument is properly done. On the other hand you can join the pack and post another childish insult to something you disagree with, as you have done.

You should take a closer look at the business interests within China of Trump and his family.

 

He’s busy making a noisy distraction for his base, while Trumps are being offered favorable access to China’s markets and while America’s farmers pick up to tag.

Your posts aren't worthy of reply. Just childish Trumpian rhetoric. Funny though. Can you compose another one whilst I make another coffee?

As the Justice Dept. investigator Michael Horwitz, as well as lots of other have pointed out, the investigation was not instigated by, or based on, the Steele report. You might want to consider ceasing to make this baseless allegation.

Trump's campaign wasn't spied upon, members of his campaign were investigated for suspicious ties to Russia.  His campaign manager was sent to prison for some of his Russian shenanigans.

 

Trump's confrontation with China is incoherent and his objectives unknown.  We and the rest of the world would be in a better position to control China if we had stayed in the TPP.  Instead our trade deficit with China has widened, American jobs  and farm exports have been lost, and nobody knows what Trump is hoping to accomplish.

 

What new bases are going up in the Asian region?

So reminiscent of Lincoln. I'm sure somewhere in the history books it will be found that Lincoln once called his political opponents "human scum."

"The fact is I'm a cheerleader for this country. I love our country and I don't want people to be frightened," Trump said at a White House event

"We've done well from any standard," he added.

The only thing he did not want "frightened" was the stock market. And that is the only thing he is a "cheerleader" for. Every thing else is subsidiary to the stock market for him. He would cheerlead smallpox if it got another 10 points on the S&P. 

[Jingthing]

His brand is chaos, panic, and gaslighting.

 

He has now solidified his place as the worst president in American history.

Relax and do not panic. Donald Trump is in charge.

Interesting news!

"The health department’s politically appointed communications aides have demanded the right to review and seek changes to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s weekly scientific reports charting the progress of the coronavirus pandemic, in what officials characterized as an attempt to intimidate the reports’ authors and water down their communications to health professionals."
