President Trump

[Primemuscle]

You folks seem to miss the point big time. You don't get it: The American Dream is dead. People voting for Trump voted for a guy who is on record saying that he is going to bring back the American Dream.

When do you expect he will get around to doing this?

[Chadwick The Beta]

When do you expect he will get around to doing this?

Probably some time after he takes office.

You couldn't beat much more than your own dick at this point, criminal.  Take a hike already.

President Obama says he would have beaten Trump

President Obama said in an interview released Monday that he would have beaten Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump “if I had run again.” In his most pointed critique yet, Obama said Hillary Clinton's campaign acted too cautiously out of a mistaken belief that victory was all but certain.

“If you think you're winning, then you have a tendency, just like in sports, maybe to play it safer,” Obama said in the interview with former adviser and longtime friend David Axelrod, a CNN analyst, for his “The Axe Files” podcast. The president said Clinton “understandably . . . looked and said, well, given my opponent and the things he's saying and what he's doing, we should focus on that.”

Obama stressed his admiration for Clinton and said she had been the victim of unfair attacks. But, as he has in other exit interviews, he insisted that her defeat was not a rejection of the eight years of his presidency. To the contrary, he argued that he had put together a winning coalition that stretched across the country but that the Democratic Party and the Clinton campaign had failed to follow through on it.

Why Trump needs big inauguration with celebrities... he could say it's cost saving time and hold a small event.

Why Trump needs big inauguration with celebrities... he could say it's cost saving time and hold a small event.
Ratings would go through the roof.

When they say 'A-List' it just means the media creations, to me.  That's all.  It sure as fuck doesn't mean the best talent.

Seriously, Lady Gaga.  What the hell is a "LADY GAGA"?   All the no-talent crap is being pushed by the same liars who tried to say Hillary had a "101% chance" or whatever.  The "acts" who "refuse" Trump are backed by the same people behind CNN and the rest.  All the same in mass media.  I'd be very concerned if that crowd wanted to perform for him.

[Las Vegas]

That's because it's what we want to hear.  Like music to our ears.  The infuriating part is when nationalistic things are said while globalistic things are done.  Like Hillary standing on stage as a zombie, saying "I am for the middle class."  So don't turn into Hillary, Trump.

Trump’s inauguration speech is looking like it will be very “nationalistic"

(Business Insider) President-elect Donald Trump has tapped senior aide Stephen Miller, who wrote most of Trump's campaign speeches, to author his inaugural address, Politico reported on Monday.

Miller has reportedly started composing an initial draft of the speech with Trump's transition team, touching upon major themes such as border security, jobs and outsourcing, and the economy.

The speech will frame "Trump’s first-term agenda in more nationalistic than ideological terms," Politico reporter Shane Goldmacher reported.

Miller, Trump's incoming senior White House adviser for policy, has been a major speechwriter throughout the campaign.

One of his most notable speeches was Trump's address at the Republican National Convention where the then-presidential candidate declared "I alone can fix it" when accepting the party nomination. Many critics, including BI's Josh Barro, deemed it "dark, depressing, and paranoid."

Tom Arnold Says "Watergate Level Journalists" Are Looking into Supposed Trump-'Apprentice' Tapes

The actor posted a series of 14 tweets on Christmas addressing the recordings he claims are in his possession: "All will be reviewed soon."

Earlier this month, actor Tom Arnold made claims to Dori Monson's Seattle-based radio show that he has unreleased recordings of president-elect Donald Trump making racist, lewd and inflammatory statements when he was host of The Apprentice. Arnold said the tapes allegedly feature Trump using "the N-word," "the C-word" and that he can be heard calling his son a "retard."

On Christmas Day, Arnold took to Twitter to update followers on where the tapes currently are and what needs to happen to have them released.

The actor, who had previously taken to Twitter to say that Trump's camp had contacted him about a defamation suit over the claims, laid out a litany of tweets regarding the tapes in response to a question from fellow actor Michael Rapaport concerning the recordings. "Tom, you talking sideways. Where Dem Tapes At?" Rapaport tweeted.

"1. I'm going 2 explain cause I know U rode Trump's butt for the 5 yrs it took him 2 confirm Obama's legitimacy. I received tape via program," Arnold wrote in a response.

Arnold went on to address the privacy of the tapes, tweeting they "had a limited password" and that when he "received [the tapes] no one thought Trump would be Pres."

Also referenced in Arnold's tweets were Putin, JFK, the Russian hacking scandal, John McCain's POW internment and Trump's "playmate girlfriends." Arnold also tweeted about his own personal "risk" in bringing up the existence of the tapes, calling it a "terrible career move."

In conclusion, Arnold assured his followers that "all will be revealed soon" and that "Watergate level journalists are on top of this."

On Monday, it appeared the two actors connected off social media, as Rapaport tweeted that he spoke to Arnold in private and that the release of the tapes "isn't as easy as one would think," He then added, "It's not over."

When do you expect he will get around to doing this?

No one knows. But that Trump publicly recongizes the massive retraction in socio-economic conditions is a start. I'm sure he is going to be pushing certain things, but the how far is yet to be determined. If he defunds the military by a few billion, something he can easily do without putting us in danger, then I can see light at the end of the tunnel. If, from the get-go, he decides to expand the deficit (meaning passing your and my tab to your and my grandkids,) then we will be entering dangerous territory.

Any genuine intention of bringing the American Dream back by Trump MUST start by not flushing the military awash of cash and setting limits. He then will have to spend that money in infrastructure improvement and finding ways of ensuring Americans a cheap source of energy. In doing so, he is going to piss off a lot of powerful people, although The Donald doesn't seem to be particularly worried about people's feelings.

ANY and all solutions entail finding a cheap energy source. First obstacle: US corporations.

Too late. Plus it's Tom Arnold. He was a chromosome-damaged, poor man's Robin Williams at best to begin with....and that was when he could still do mountains of yayo.

[Primemuscle]

Why Trump needs big inauguration with celebrities... he could say it's cost saving time and hold a small event.
Ratings would go through the roof.

Trump is an egomaniac. He needs a "big" inauguration regardless of the cost. This explains why he's offering to pay performers to show up. It is unheard of for  performers at the Presidential inauguration to be paid....they do it gratis.

[Las Vegas]

Too late. Plus it's Tom Arnold. He was a chromosome-damaged, poor man's Robin Williams at best to begin with....and that was when he could still do mountains of yayo.

This is from an Opinion piece in the Star-Tribune (Twin Cities).

Arnold's allegations first came to light during a Dec. 16 interview on Seattle's KIRO radio. According to the Los Angeles Times, He told host Dori Monson then that he had outtakes from "The Apprentice" in which Trump says "every bad thing ever, every offensive, racist thing ever. It was him sitting in that chair saying the N-word, saying the C-word, calling his son a retard, just being so mean to his own children."

Arnold claims he got the tape from "Apprentice" staff members who circulated the video in early November as a funny Christmas gift, not expecting that Trump would actually win.

Arnold didn't provide many details until fellow actor Michael Rapaport challenged him on social media to cough up the tape. Arnold said the material had a time-limited password, but he did go more in-depth after Rapaport's tweet in a flurry of postings in which he stated that he had talked to several other Hollywood players who had also seen the tape.

IDK if "time-limited password" is his way of admitting that he doesn't really have access to it, or what.  But when he right-away refers to "other people" who "have seen" it, it sort of sounds that way.

This is from the same:

NBC has said it doesn't own "The Apprentice" outtakes. Mark Burnett, who created the show as well as "Survivor," has said he is powerless to help, saying in a statement that MGM, which acquired his company, is restricted in releasing such material, due to various contractual and legal requirements.

[Las Vegas]

Yes, turns out "time-limited password" means he doesn't have access to it.  He now says a cover-up by "seven powerful people" who "have everything" has blocked it from being analyzed.

[Las Vegas]

He's claimed before that "hundreds" of people have seen it.

Someone should ask him if he'll name just one.

Tom Arnold insists video exists showing Trump using C-word and N-word in 'Apprentice' taping – and now claims Hollywood conspiracy to cover up file with 'limited time password'

Comedian Tom Arnold is re-upping his claim that there are videotapes from the archives of 'The Apprentice' showing Donald Trump using what polite society refers to as the C-word and the 'N-word.'

But now he has insisted on Twitter that a vast conspiracy of '7 powerful Hollywood people who have everything' is engaged in a cover-up to hide the outtake footage from public view.

Still, Arnold alleges that '[a]ll will be reviewed soon. Smart Watergate level journalists are ontop [sic] of this.'

Arnold explained to B-actor Michael Rapaport in a series of Christmas Day tweets that he had seen the video, forwarded to him through 'a program used in our biz 2 prevent piracy.'

He claimed he can't bring the purported video to light because the presumably encrypted computer file 'had a limited time password' – making it like a Snapchat message.

They have nothing else on him except to make a big deal about nothing and then go to the movies the next day to pay for something that they are sooooo offended by.

Who cares? What alpha male hasn't used the c word or n word.

Some alpha males of a certain age use terms such as these words you're not able to post on fairly raunchy Getbig. Most men outgrow employing misogynistic, sophomoric and degrading terms as they mature. Trump was still talking shit when he was well past middle-aged. He probably still does in certain company. That recorded conversation might be okay for a college aged person hanging with his buds.

It's not just what Trump said, it is  that it is indicative of his feelings about women.

Trump team: ‘Positive' news for workers coming Wednesday

President-elect Donald Trump will be making a "positive" announcement on economic development Wednesday afternoon, according to transition aides.
 
Aides did not provide further details, but spokesman and future White House press secretary Sean Spicer intimated to reporters that the news will be about American jobs.
 
"The president-elect will have some news on the economic front later this afternoon that should be very positive for American workers," he said during the daily call with reporters.

The news is expected around 4 p.m., Spicer said.
 
Trump has taken a more hands-on role than other presidents-elect, particularly in the hopes of delivering on his promise to bring jobs back to the U.S.
 
He announced a deal last month with Carrier to keep about 800 jobs at an Indiana furnace plant in the state instead of moving to Mexico and support another 300 jobs that weren't slated to leave the country.
 
Trump also stood onstage alongside Dow Chemical CEO Andrew Liveris in Michigan while the executive promised new investment in the state.
 
Trump's opponents have panned that type of direct diplomacy, arguing that he is rewarding companies who threaten to leave and that the style is too small-scale to provide significant economic impacts.

Who knows if it was even said, really.  Something is dumb when Tom Arnold tries to describe it as so cruel, so awful, so terrible, so "mean to his own kids" and all the rest.

Then he says it was distributed to be a "funny" message.

So which is it?

Chris Christie Bets on Trump‘s Inner Circle to Fail... And that Trump comes running back to him when they do.

By Tina Nguyen

New Jersey governor Chris Christie has not had a good 2016. Between losing his presidential bid, losing his dignity to Donald Trump, being passed over for vice president and then attorney general, losing his leadership position on Trump’s White House transition team, and finally being shut out of consideration to chair the Republican National Committee, few in politics have had a more dismal year. Say what you will about Hillary Clinton, but at least her approval rating is higher than 18 percent.

Now, as 2016 draws to a close, the governor is looking ahead to a new chapter in his own personal drama with the man he reportedly called “Mr. Trump”—the part where the spurned protagonist’s lover realizes his errors and comes running back. As The New York Times reports, Christie “still believes he has a political future nationally” and is pinning his hopes on Trump coming back to him once he grows disillusioned with the current White House management team of chief strategist Steve Bannon, chief of staff Reince Priebus, and Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner. In Christie’s fever dreams, after that trio fails, “[he] will be tapped as the skilled manager, like David Gergen, the former aide to Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan who swooped in to steady Bill Clinton’s administration after a raucous first year.”

Fantasizing that Trump’s inner circle will fail, and that Trump will pluck him from political exile to pick up the pieces, marks a sad epitaph for the career of a man once considered a rising star within the Republican Party and its best hope to win the White House. But it is only the latest in a series of setbacks for Christie, whose humbling at the hands of the Trump campaign has often appeared to be personal. While Christie fell out of favor with Trump around the same time that two of his allies were found guilty in connection with the 2013 Bridgegate scandal (a third pleaded guilty in 2015), several of the governor’s associates are expected to receive plum positions within the administration—a clear signal that the repudiation of Christie is about more than just Bridgegate. Bill Stepien, Christie’s former campaign manager whom he fired over the scandal, is now expected to become White House political director. (When Trump hired Stepien during the campaign, Christie, who opposed the hiring, was reportedly uninvolved in the decision.) Debra Wong Yang, his lawyer during the Bridgegate trials, is reportedly Trump’s top pick to run the Securities and Exchange Commission.

While no national position of his own appears forthcoming, Christie seems to be working on plan B. “He has spent several mornings guest hosting a New York sports radio show, prompting speculation that he is auditioning for a more permanent role should the Trump administration not come knocking,” the Times reports.

Chinese mall unveils huge ‘Trump rooster’ mascot to ‘attract a lot of customers’

(Washington Times) A Chinese mall has tied some of its future profits to the allure of an anthropomorphic statue of President-elect Donald Trump.

The 45th U.S. commander in chief’s likeness has been turned into a rooster in the city of Taiyuan. Customers at one of its local malls will be able to celebrate the Chinese zodiac sign for 2017 — the year of the rooster — by marveling at a 32-foot tall statue or buying a miniaturized version for $57.

Cao Mingliang, the deputy director of planning department from N1 ArtWalk Mall, told CNN Tuesday that “Trump Rooster” will be its new mascot.

“I think the rooster is very cute and funny, the hairstyle and eyebrows look very much like Donald Trump. I’m sure it will attract a lot of customers,” added Wei Qing of Shenghe Yangtai Business, which sells replica Trump Roosters.

Deep-pocketed Chinese fans of the billionaire can buy their own 32-foot-tall statue for $1,739.

Chinese New Year begins Jan. 28, just eight days after Mr. Trump is sworn into office.

So which is it?

Did you not hear the recording of Trump's conversation with Billy Bush in which he says: "I'm automatically attracted to beautiful [women]—I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait. And when you're a star they let you do it. You can do anything ... Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything." This was in 2005. These are the words of a 60 year old who should have out grown "locker room talk" a long time before this.

It's not exactly the same as calling women cun.ts but it's the same sort of degrading talk.
