However Trump does not seem to like it.
Could have been worse, they could have used this one.@CNN just released a book called "Unprecedented" which explores the 2016 race & victory. Hope it does well but used worst cover photo of me!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 2, 2017
Trump also seemed to take offense at the characterization by CNN that he was surprised right along with everybody else at his election night victory.
Various media outlets and pundits say that I thought I was going to lose the election. Wrong, it all came together in the last week and.....— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 2, 2017
You know I seem to remember reports that Trump did not have a victory speech planned and that his campaign staff sat around in stunned silence when it was announced that he had won.I thought and felt I would win big, easily over the fabled 270 (306). When they cancelled fireworks, they knew, and so did I.— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 2, 2017
So I call bullshit on these tweets as well.
Trump may well have known that all sorts of voting irregularities (machine failures, tallying glitches, etc.) were going to happen. Why else were the recounts thwarted?
ReplyDeleteBeaglemom
For christ sakes.. there was no evidence in regards regards to machine hacks or counting errors.. Trump won by using fear tactics and promised he knew he cannot accomplish like putting coal miners all back to work.
DeleteThe election is well over. How about spending time on planning his overthrow.
7:16
DeleteThere was evidence of hacked machines in Wisconsin!!! Trump beat Clinton by 27,000 votes but 300,000 regular voters were suppressed!!!!
Many other states had irregularities as well!!
http://lwv.org/press-releases/2016-presidential-election-was-rigged
And, Hillary Clinton won the popular vote in a landslide and that is what is STILL aggravating Trump.
DeleteHe knows subconsciously he is not loved, respected and liked by the majority of American and his ego will not allow him to accept the margin in which he lost the popular vote. That's why he continually has to tell America how he won 'so bigly' even though he knows his statement to be totally false!
He is going into this presidency with the lowest approval rating in eons and knows he is in huge trouble.
We Americans will keep the asshole honest whether he likes it or not.
It's too bad Donnie boy, but I see your first year being a massive disaster as well as very difficult!
You are NOT going to have fun!
And, I so hope you are impeached and run out of D.C. on your large fat, white ass!
7:48, you are absolutely right. But things sure got shut down fast, specially in WI where they didn't study those machines and refused to allow a hand recount.
DeleteSo many things were done--this started back in 2000 right after Bush v Gore, and anyone who follows election politics is well aware of it!--and in WI they also made it a point to prevent college students from voting with new form and ID restrictions, and that is absolutely fact with emails that prove it was a very focused and intentional part of ensuring that young Dems didn't vote.
Deleteomg, he is STILL gloating about the election?? Where can I sign up for a front seat in the Rapture, and how far away will we get from Earth?
ReplyDeleteYeah cute. He knew! He knows he lost and it was a bigly show of actors to create a last minute win. No more vacations and lounging around with the developers and buddies. Yes that is job creation, give low paying jobs to the unemployed ceo's and billionaires that have been on lifelong vacations and now must be servants, punch a clock and answer to the We the people. What could go wrong? How long before the thrill is gone? On the flip side? Mr Trump and bullies said the election was rigged and civil war would happen if anyone said different.

I can hardly wait for Bill Maher's show to begin again in January! He is the one that started the term 'orange arangatang' (spelling?) with regard to Donald Trump. If I remember correctly, Donald Trump sued Bill over it and lost the case!!!
DeleteBill's show is on cable and I recommend everyone watch him - he's funny, well read, well versed in politics and has no respect for The Donald!
Plus, he typically has great panelists on his shows to include folks that don't think as Bill does - creating great conversations (and arguments) to say the least!
Of course Trump thinks all pics used should be run by him. Groan. The book's picture is one of the least horrid pics out there. Whenever Trump chooses a pic, it's the same one seen at his website that has been used on his books. He looks less turkey neckish and has his face lowered slightly so that his eyes glance upward as he scowls. He thinks he looks so hawkish and intimidating. Of course, the fact that his lips are white in the pic and so are the areas around his eyes doesn't bother him.
ReplyDeleteHardball? Softball‘s more like it. MSNBC’s Chris Matthews asked Donald Trump’s top dog Kellyanne Conway about the president-elect’s plans for 2017, got barraged with a steaming, stinking fusillade of total bullsh*t, and surrendered with nary a whimper.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.bipartisanreport.com/2017/01/03/what-kellyanne-conway-just-told-chris-matthews-about-north-korea-is-horrifying/
Chris Matthews has not been effective on Hardball for a long time. I stopped watching his show a year ago at least.
DeleteDrive his ratings down further, America, and perhaps MSNBC will cancel his show and suggest his retirement.
He has diabetes now and I suspect will begin having health issue due to the disease and the automatic aging process. He is, after all, an elderly senior citizen now!
I used to love Matthews but he has changed. His shows are so diluted. He has always loved politics and he becomes so filled with pride at the idea of the American democracy, but he now acts as if his job is to make Republicans feel good and he goes out of his way to bring them on his show and treat them so nicely even when they're dogs. And no matter what that witch Conway says, he just accepts it and always has to tell viewers that he's known her for years, like that legitimizes her. I'm half Irish and I cannot stand how he acts toward his guests who are Irish and Catholic, like Conway is. He gives them the kid glove treatment.
DeleteThe picture used at his Twitter is the 2009 cover pic from his book Think Like a Champion. 2009! Of course Lardass uses an old picture. He doesn't use one that's anywhere close to recent.
ReplyDeleteEarliest I saw the pic published is April 11, 2009. So, in a few months that pic Trump uses all the time and to tweet with will be at least 8 years old.
DeleteToday his tweet about the ethics office is just BS. It was said last night on the news that he would be expected to come out as opposing the gutting of that office. He'd have to come across that way. And so there is a tweet, yes. But in the middle of it he calls the office's behavior "unfair." He only complains about the timing of the House's move. And Caveman Conway was on TV earlier today criticizing the office and claiming its "overreach."
ReplyDeleteHouse Republicans Pave Way For Rampant Corruption Under Trump By Gutting Independent Ethics Panel
ReplyDeleteHouse Republicans just made it clear that they are for sale and intend to put ethics aside during Donald Trump’s reign in the White House.
On Monday night, Republicans voted 119-74 to cripple the independent Office of Congressional Ethics, which has been an outside watchdog working to root out corruption by members of Congress ever since a string of lobbying scandals rocked Capitol Hill. Under Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s leadership, the panel was created as a non-partisan entity and has done a good job.
But Republicans are gutting it because the panel has done its job too well so they passed an amendment which basically gives them direct oversight of the panel and the power to kill investigations they don’t like. So if the panel is investigating a Republicans, they can kill it and then turn around and allow an investigation against a Democrat.
http://addictinginfo.org/2017/01/02/house-republicans-pave-way-for-rampant-corruption-under-trump-by-gutting-independent-ethics-panel/
Civil war in America - here we go! The Republican led Congress is such as evil as is Trump. Any of them that come up for reelection (IF we all live that long!) need to be voted out of office. This is going to be a sickening year and I suspect we are going to see deaths, carnage and corruption that America has not experienced in years!

ReplyDeleteTrump Shouts Out Dubai Business Partner in New Year’s Eve Speech
ReplyDeleteDuring a ten-minute speech delivered to 800 guests at his New Year’s Eve party in Florida, Donald Trump called the press “garbage,” said the “beautiful” generals he’s met with “make Tom Cruise look like dirt,” and repeatedly praised a Dubai-based business partner, according to CNN.
Hussain Sajwani, whose company built Trump International Course Dubai, was at the party with his family, whom Trump called the “the most beautiful people.” The billionaire’s company, DAMAC Properties, is set to open a Tiger Woods–designed golf course with the Trump Organization in 2018.
Trump’s reference to Sajwani illustrates, once again, his difficulty separating his political life from his business.

But he doesn't care. He always cheats to win and does unethical things and comes out looking good and that--what the public sees--is all that matters. He has no conscience, so nothing bothers him, eats at him. All he cares about is perception. His whole family is this way. They are so fucking plastic. They are simply products, not human beings.

He knew he was going to win because he paid off the crooked electors and had his daddy-putin "fix" the election for him.
ReplyDeleteAss-ange is another traitor. Doesn't anyone think the whole thing is weird.
ReplyDeleteI guess the man is so full of himself, he's in denial about how awful he looks and doesn't realize the kiss-ass CNN picked one of the "best." LOL
ReplyDeleteI'll bet he's going to want his official photo to be one taken 20 years ago. (at least)
ReplyDeleteThe official portrait will reflect his younger self too.
He wants to be Dorian Gray. Which is kinda appropriate, given his character.
If Trump is sensitive about *that* photo, he better not look at any political cartoons for the next forever.
He knew he was going to win. It was set from the day he came down those elevators. I watched George Carlin on youtube last night and he talked about how our country has been bought and paid for a long time ago. The owners wanted Trump. Carlin also said in the past episodes that our country would eventually fall into the hands of someone like Trump. It was inevitable.
ReplyDeleteCarlin used a term that had me laughing. CID, circling the drain. That's what he said our country was doing now. Going around and around and down.
Remember during the summer months when mr trump would scream to his deplorable crowd. I need that data? where is the data? Better have that data? That data better be in by end of august. Would that data pertain to machines?, the hacking?. The stacking of false votes for mr trump?
ReplyDeleteI don't want an old man that tweets as my president. It is gross. odd. creepy and freaky.
ReplyDeleteThat book cover photo is about the most "flattering" photo I've seen of Trump. Last summer, when in Chicago, I bought a monthly calendar with modernist-isa paintings of downtown Chicago scenes for each month. When I put it on my bulletin board the other day I noticed that Trump's building (w/o his name) appears in one or two of the images. For those months I'll put up another calendar.
