Discussion: Obama Says He Was 'Encouraged' By Meeting With Trump At White House

Is still a birther

I foresee that happening as well, but the open question is: when things go wrong, he starts being unfavorably viewed by even his supporters, what happens then? Who is on the other end of “You’re fired” and what comes after?

Would it offend anyone of my fellow primers to say that Trump knows he is in over his head and will have the President on speed dial. Actually he only cares about being loved and making deals. He is in a better position to do some stuff then Sec. Clinton who would have run into Republican yahoos at every turn. He and Chuck Schumer know each other and have much more in common than Trump and the Tea Party crowd. He is not an ideologue and has no philosophy other than putting on a good show. The Democrats will block any foreign policy nut and a Supreme Court nominee can be delayed endlessly even without a filibuster. Cruz, Pence et. al would be a disaster as President. Trump is an ass but wants to leave a legacy of buildings, roads and high fives. Most Republicans especially southern and mid-western ones are beyond his influence and he will quickly dismiss them and deal with Democrats.

Except look at who is around him now. The worst of the worst.

Hey as long as he does good things that work I don’t care if he says one thing in the campaign to get elected and does something else once in office.

He has no loyalty to any of them. He won on his own. He only cares about his kids.

“But go ahead and sell us down the river if you feel you must.”

Darr, is this directed at Obama? What else do you think he should do? It’s his responsibility to implement a smooth transition, whether he likes Trump or not.

Please let this all be fluff while there is some effort behind the scenes to investigate the bizarre results of the election, the connections to Russia, the Comey interruption. Because once he is in office, it will be too late. He is putting together a cast of crooks that will rape and pillage our democracy.

God, I sound like a nutcase….am I? Is anyone else feeling a chill going up their spine? The kind you get when you are witnessing something truly scary?

Wow for the first time I realize the jokes about Trumps hands. They are small…

I tell my friends who voted for Trump that it was fixed.

If the Republicans will let him stay in office. We’re dealing with some psychotics here. Chaffetz for instance.

Even if we survived until 2020 with what Trump will do, the GOP and its allies now know how to steal elections. The U.S. does not have a Parliamentary system. That means 4 years of Trump.

For me, the world ends 20 January 2017.

To say “America is screwed” trivializes what awaits it. I will look at things in the next 70 days as to the process of the Normalization which will take place and the sheeple and the MSM wrap Trump up in a big package with a bow on top.

As the Democrats reel from a hatchet job no candidate for any office has ever seen.

  • Hillary fighting Sanders
  • Hillary fighting FOX
  • Hillary fighting the MSM
  • Hillary fighting Wikileaks
  • Hillary fighting hackers
  • Democrats fighting all manner of voter suppression

and–finally–Hillary Hatch-Act CLUBBED by the FBI

I have some hopes–which presume some common sense and love of country–that Trump’s damage can be minimized…but, right now, the weapons are near-non-existent

Better than Cruz who is a really a dangerous man.

No, it’s not you. It’s probably all of us.

I have the same feeling, although mine is in the pit of my stomach.

I have been shell-shocked over this election and have not commented here in days. It’s painful to even hear the news, or mention of Trump’s name.

I know I’ll eventually feel better, I just don’t know when.
