Trump Thread

[spmetla]

Interesting article Xiahou posted from the New Yorker. Pretty much confirms everything I thought about him during his first interview which painted him in my eyes as a boasting New York show boater with mafia style loyalty to his 'Don', he will undoubtedly go far with his new boss.

Trumps ability as president to ruin all he touches is rather astonishing.

Even the Boy Scouts are needing to apologize:

I want to extend my sincere apologies to those in our Scouting family who were offended by the political rhetoric that was inserted into the jamboree. That was never our intent. The invitation for the sitting U.S. President to visit the National Jamboree is a long-standing tradition that has been extended to the leader of our nation that has had a Jamboree during his term since 1937. It is in no way an endorsement of any person, party or policies. For years, people have called upon us to take a position on political issues, and we have steadfastly remained non-partisan and refused to comment on political matters. We sincerely regret that politics were inserted into the Scouting program.

My dad and uncle were both Eagle Scouts and were certainly shocked that the President would give that type of speech to an audience of children. He just can't turn off his reality TV personality even for a moment.
