Jingthing Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 (edited) Now elected (what a tragedy!) man baby, obviously mentally ill trump now begins to prove what we already knew, he is totally unfit to be president. twitter mad man strikes again. Tone of a president? More like an immature child, which is why the MAN BABY label has stuck -- Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump 2h2 hours ago Happy New Year to all, including to my many enemies and those who have fought me and lost so badly they just don't know what to do. Love! Quote Trump keeps saying he wants unity — and keeps showing that it’s up to everyone else Past presidents have similarly entered office to lead a divided nation. For Trump, the path to unity is narrow: Stop complaining about him and unify around him. When given a teleprompter, Trump makes the sort of pronouncements about working together that you'd expect of a president-elect. Once he grabs his phone and starts tweeting, though, his real thoughts — as always — leak out. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/12/31/trump-keeps-saying-he-wants-unity-and-keeps-showing-that-its-up-to-everyone-else/?hpid=hp_hp-cards_hp-card-politics%3Ahomepage%2Fcard&utm_term=.9736a716cd56 Edited December 31, 2016 by Jingthing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilostmypassword Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 A quote from Michael Lewis, the author of Liars' Poker and The Big Short as well as many other books: "The phenomenon of Donald Trump, whose crassness is alien to Michael’s upbringing, has reinforced this basic premise of his morality. “The truly bad thing about Trump is that he’s exploiting for his own gain the envy that some people feel, playing on their resentments,” Michael tells me with a political intensity I have never before noticed in him. “He denigrates and preys on people who are unlucky and then reinforces the good fortunes of people who are already lucky.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/books/becoming-michael-lewis/2016/12/29/5b412c54-c0a3-11e6-897f-918837dae0ae_story.html?utm_term=.67f17c82f5fd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet now you credit him with being knowlegeable on the subject of hacking? Do you have access to his private deliberations?

Just pointing out he's not stupid, and anyone can learn about hacking without knowing how a computer works. A person who does not know computers can learn the sophisticated hacking that involves surreptitiously planting a program on someone's computer and have it stay there un-noticed for months while gathering and sending information to the hacker? Nobody's buying that nonsense. I'm also not buying the "he's not stupid" claim. He has the kind of stupidity that allows him to reject all facts that he disagrees with and invent facts that support what he wants to believe. That is a special kind of stupidity shared by many of his supporters. It's also an extremely dangerous kind of stupidity for POTUS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andaman Al Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 This guy is truly off the plot. Are they really going to inaugurate him in 2 weeks. I mean REALLY?? Quote Donald J. Trump ✔@realDonaldTrump The dishonest media does not report that any money spent on building the Great Wall (for sake of speed), will be paid back by Mexico later! 6:19 PM - 6 Jan 2017 2,634 Retweets 6,916 likes So now it is "The Great Wall", he will be calling himself Ghengis Trump next. Just how will the USA make Mexico pay it back later? Increase taxes on their imported goods? The consumer pays for those therefore the "Great Wall" will be paid for by the American people as they will pay for the increased price of Mexican goods. The Mexicans are to the USA what Chinese were to SE Asia and Indians to Africa and Europe. They make the economy's run. Take them away and the fabric of economy and trade collapses. Idi Amin thought it would be a good idea to get rid of the Indians from Uganda, they were the economic powerhouse behind the country. Within a very short time after the Indians were evicted from Uganda the economy did indeed collapse. If Trump messes around with the Mexicans he better have a really good strong plan B to make sure the US economy does not go down the toilet. Obama had "Obamacare" I guess Ghengis Trump not only wants "Trump Care" but also "The Great Trump Wall", he probably wants it to be seen from outer space as well.

Opl Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 (edited) How Trump's 10-year-old son could guide U.S. cybersecurity " Astonishingly, Trump's imagination for what computers can do — and therefore what technical vulnerabilities today's companies, consumers and governments might face — appears limited by the observed skill set of his 10-year-old son." His technical incuriosity helps us understand why, for example, he (wrongly) believes that manufacturing jobs are primarily disappearing due to insufficient tariffs, rather than automation. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/commentary/ct-cybersecurity-computers-internet-trump-perspec-0104-20170103-story.html Edited January 6, 2017 by Opl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Now, what will happen in the near future. USA is going to have a mentally sick president, who suffers from narcissistic disorder. A president who is easily directed to a certain direction by a few 'nice' words from the people or countries who are willing to abuse his shortcomings. Putin is ahead of the game, in Kremlin they are already calling Trump with worse names than 'Our britch' The USA allies, basically the whole western world, western Europe etc. have to rethink their position over again. The once reliable friend is no longer reliable anymore. What should we do? If we can't trust the president of the United States anymore, why should we trust the country anymore? If we can't trust the country, why should we buy our military equipment from untrusted source. Why should we trust that there are no malware included to our new fighter jets? It would be stupid. On consumer products, this trust of the origin country is going to be ever more important in the near future. It was talked in the telco world a decade ago and it's now coming to the everyday electronics. Trump is killing that trust and United States with it. Either knowingly or just being simply to narcissistic that he don't understand or admit that he is been played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
