Trump Derangement Syndrome - Orange man bad. Read the OP! (ᴛʜɪs ᴛʜʀᴇᴀᴅ ɪs ʟɪᴋᴇ ᴋɪᴡɪ ғᴀʀᴍs ʀᴇᴠɪᴇᴡs ɴᴏᴡ) 🗿🗿🗿🗿

What if Trump made parade comments to tri k someone? Specifically Kim Jong Un?

Trump said he saw the French parade in July, so why did it take 6 months before he brought up the notion?

North Korea has been going heavy on their charm campaign and the Olympics. Sending over their pop stars, KJU's somewhat attractive sister (also NK's official propaganda chief), and cheerleaders. They were the ones to reach out to the south and call South Koreas ppresident something other than "Imperialist dog".

KJU watches the news and sees Trump giving the Pentagon a couple weeks to make a plan, decided to say "mine is bigger and we did ours first", then shows off his nuclear-capable arsenal not 50 miles away from a sporting event that promotes peace and has athletes from almost every country on Earth.

Congratulations Kim Jong Un, you played yourself.

It's almost as if you guys need to reset the system and start over with something that might be able to function despite the increasingly-extreme partisanship that seems to become more and more entrenched by the day.

You say this like this is something new. American politics has been heavily partisan since 1825. Shit, we fought a Civil War over partisan politics.

But things still manage to get done. The reason is that it is all political theater. It's all a show put on for the public so that they can get reelected. The campaign season never ends.

Dragging in third parties just changes the type of show the public gets. It doesn't really effect much. You are still going to have the far left and far right nutjobs. The moderates. The libertarians. The bible-thumpers. The kooky black ladies who wear brightly colored hats. And they are going to be making policy, because their districts elected them. The only thing that would change is the letter in parenthesis next to their name.

Civil War aside, as I said, it's a shitshow. Meh. Will be interesting to see how the mid-term elections pan out.
There are some voices of common sense in the Congress, but the lunatics always get more coverage.

After years if not decades of carefully managed spins and images there's clearly an appetite for someone relatively unspun. This is how Trump worked because despite being a Billionaire he eats his steaks well done, enjoys a cheeseburger and acted like a big kid while honking a horn in a truck at the White House.

Nigel Farage played exactly the same (who advised Trump in the early days) and Jacob Rees-Mogg (an out and out Baron) is also now wildly popular despite their stances on various things.

Like any good advertising campaign, they sell an image that people will want to buy into.

Hasn’t it been proven by now hat Clinton had more connections to Russia than Trump at this point?

“Ah but let’s wait for the investigations into Trumpssia to finish first.” Which they never will

Also Trump is easily going to get away with this. He’s stepped in murkier water before and came out less wet than when he entered somehow.

Edit: by “this” I meant the MeToo comment he made above. Clarified now i hope.

The media has basically prevented the POTUS from discussing women’s issues because of that pussy grab tape. He doesnt touch the subject with a pole, but he has to represent the entire populace and 50% of that is women.

Pretty much. There's apparently pretty good evidence that it went way beyond the vague, not-actually-illegal "collusion" Trump is constantly accused of and into outright abuse of authority, if not actual treason, as well.

But no one wants to talk about that. Instead any media outlet still willing to talk about what was in the memo is desperately trying to spin it as actually supporting the anti-Trump witch hunt.

What used to be conservative vs liberal in the old days would get you called a Nazi or SJW by each side respectively these days. Ever since the Obama birth certificate and now the Russian Conspiracy. It feels like the extreme ends of the scale are the ones driving things, while we people are trapped in the middle: Conservative, Liberatarian, Classical Liberals, etc.

Go to one place, they accuse you of being an SJW, go to another place they accuse you of being a Nazi. I go to read an article about some random bad event. Trump is guaranteed to be mentioned in the comments, even when it's not even tangentally related.

It's like that crazy homeless man babbling on the corner, if the owner of the New York Times just gave the newspaper company to him.
