Spokesperson for British Prime Minister Theresa May condemns Donald Trump's anti-Muslim tweets from yesterday, so of course Trump fires back.

After those incendiary videos were retweeted by Trump yesterday, this was the response from the office of the British Prime Minister:

Within hours of the anti-Muslim films going up, the Prime Minister’s official spokesman tried to distance Number 10 from Mr Trump’s posts, saying: “It is wrong for the President to have done this.”

That of course inspired this tweet from Trump:
And that in turn had the Prime Minister responding with this just today:  

Speaking on a trip to Jordan, the PM replied to President Trump's public challenge made overnight on Twitter. 

She told reporters: "The fact that we work together, does not mean that we're afraid to say when we think the United States have got it wrong. 

"I am very clear that retweeting Britain First was the wrong thing to do."

Trump was also rebuked by the Netherlands Embassy which responded to yesterday's Islamophobic tweet storm with this:
In other words the perpetrator was NOT an immigrant, but simply a bully taking advantage of a weaker peer for the entertainment of his friends who were filming him.

Trump's actions from the last 48 hours or so have brought the conversation about his mental health front and center, with the ghostwriter of "The Art of the Deal" even saying that people in the White House are "absolutely terrified" about what he might do next.

I guess those of us who have been occupying the "absolutely terrified" section of the bleachers are going to have to scoot over to make room for the late arrivals.

But not before we whisper under our breath, "It's about damn time!"

      "Beginning in early 1973, Agnew was investigated by the United States Attorney for the District of Maryland on suspicion of conspiracy, bribery, extortion and tax fraud. Agnew had accepted payments from contractors during his time as a Maryland official, and the payments had continued into his time as vice president. After denying his guilt for months, Agnew negotiated a plea agreement that would involve his resignation from office. On October 10, 1973, Agnew pled no contest to a single felony charge of tax evasion, resigned his office, and was replaced by House Minority Leader Gerald Ford. Agnew spent the remainder of his life quietly, rarely making public appearances. He wrote a novel, and also a memoir defending his actions. He died in 1996."

    TRUMP IN 'EARLY STAGES OF DEMENTIA,' 'MORNING JOE' SCARBOROUGH CLAIMS

    MSNBC Morning Joe co-host Joe Scarborough fired back at President Donald Trump on air Thursday morning by claiming “people close to him during the campaign told me he had early stages of dementia."

    Trump is "completely detached from reality,” Scarborough said. "You have somebody inside the White House that the New York Daily News says is mentally unfit, that people close to him say is mentally unfit.”

    Looks like I picked a good day to stop responding to Trump's bizarre tweets. He is not well.

    6:32 AM - Nov 29, 2017
    ---------------

    The early symptoms of dementia include increasing confusion, memory problems, personality or behavior changes, reduced concentration, loss of ability to perform everyday tasks, and apathy, withdrawal or depression. 

    Scarborough, who is not the first person to question Trump’s mental health, on Thursday said it is time for the Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment, which allows for the removal of the president from office when he is “unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office.”.....

    3. Early stages?

      Face it. He was unable to perform his duties from day one. BEFORE day one.

      The Republicans didn't have a problem with him until it looks like he's going to fuck up their 2018 election prospects. They'll get rid of him when they know he's an albatross. I think they're waiting for to see if Moore or Jones wins. (Busby doesn't have a chance.) If Jones wins, they'll be dumping Trump faster than they're trying to get this tax bill passed.

      Doesn't look good. McCain, Murkowski and Collins may be on board. (You're stupid to trust them Suan, You know better.) But Flake and Corker, who have nothing to lose voting no since neither is running for re-election. All it takes is one more and the bill is dead. Now that the analysis shows it is NOT debt neutral but will add a TRILLION dollars to the national debt over the next 10 years, I think they won't have the 51, not even with Pence.

      Why do I think they don't have the votes? They're delaying:

      https://www.yahoo.com/news/senate-tax-bill-stumbles-deficit-focused-trigger-001648163--business.html

      "The Senate debated the legislation late into Thursday and adjourned, putting off any votes until Friday morning. It was unclear if a decisive vote on the bill would occur then.

      The delay underscored nagging concerns among Republican fiscal conservatives about the deficit impact of the bill. That set up the possibility that its deep tax cuts might have to be moderated, that future tax increases might be built in, and that some conservatives might seek to attach spending cuts, all approaches that could throw up new political problems."

      "Republican Senator Bob Corker and others had tried to add a provision to the bill to trigger automatic future tax increases if the tax cuts in the bill did not boost the economy and generate revenues sufficient to offset the deficit expansion.

      But the Senate parliamentarian barred Corker's "trigger" proposal on procedural grounds.

      The trigger amendment was needed to win Corker's vote and those of others worried about the deficit - worries that intensified when congressional analysts said the bill would not boost the economy enough to offset the estimated deficit expansion, as the Trump administration had said it would."

      Gee, who knew tax DEFORM would be so hard?

    Donald Trump is completely unfit to be president of the United States.

    That is not an ideological expression. That is an expression of the shock of mounting evidence that he is intellectually deficient, temperamentally unsound and morally bankrupt.

    Just this week, he has once again underscored the degree to which he is openly hostile to people of color — I call that racism and bigotry — and demonstrated his lack of impulse control to conceal his contempt even when doing so would be to his benefit.

    On Monday, Trump defiled a White House ceremony to honor Navajo veterans of World War II (a meeting already defiled because it was held before a portrait of Andrew “Trail of Tears” Jackson) by using a racial slur, pejoratively referring to Senator Elizabeth Warren as “Pocahontas.”

    These men deserved better, and if Trump were thinking more about them and less about himself — as almost any other American president would have been — he wouldn’t have dragged their moment down into his muck. But this is what happens when you “let Trump be Trump”: He shows up as the bestial creature that he is.

    Calls to cancel Trump visit to UK put queen in tough spot
    http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/uk-faces-calls-cancel-trumps-state-visit-tweets-51482199

    In Britain's constitutional monarchy, the queen invites foreign leaders to state visits — regarded as a great honor — on the advice of Britain's Foreign and Commonwealth Office.

    In this case, it was the prime minister, Theresa May, who extended the invitation to Trump on the queen's behalf just days after Trump assumed office. While no date has yet been set for the visit, both governments say the state visit is still on.

    It would be extremely awkward for the queen to rescind the invitation, and there is no indication the Foreign Office wishes her to do so.

    What hasn't been mentioned in the news is his first tweet to May was the wrong Twitter handle and sent to a private citizen.

    What else has he been sending to the wrong people? Nuclear codes,passwords to WH servers?

    Moron as well as liar.

    Also is this all an act to get out of being charged with colluding with the enemy? Trump has a long documented history of never taking responsibility for his behavior,maybe he is faking dementia to stay out of prison.
