He watches SNL just so he can tweet about it.

Those SNL folks are really gonna be ashamed when they find out how much they're hurting Trump's feelings

 

[EddieDoyers]

Trump's tweeting about SNL is really reverse psychology
Remember he's the executive producer of the great apprentice, an NBC program
Literally bringing more ratings to NBC with this publicity

unimaginable. i really feel bad for them. they know not what they do.

edit: Trump's tweets are largely incoherent. is he ok? should we schedule an intervention?

Is Ninja triggered?

 

[moe fab]

I dunno bout all that, but it seems like some in here are soft as charmin. Letting words on a skreen hurt your feelings, n now you so quik to snitch? Well all i kno is, that **** dont happen over here. But i guess trump was the law n order guy. So by applying simple mathematiks, if a+b=c, then b+a=c. So in the same vein, if the same people that advokate that type of kandidate, are usually kop kallers, snitches, n tattle tales, then...ya kno?

“[NATO] is obsolete, first because it was designed many, many years ago,” Bild quoted Trump as saying about the trans-Atlantic military alliance. “Secondly, countries aren’t paying what they should” and NATO “didn’t deal with terrorism.”

Among Trump's other comments to Bild::

the Bush administration’s decision to invade Iraq may have been the worst in U.S. history;
that Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law, is a natural talent who will bring about an accord with Israel
Trump plans to keep using social media including Twitter once he’s in the White House to sidestep the press and communicate directly with his followers
People entering the U.S. will face “extreme” security checks, possibly including some European nationals

US media in a nutshell

So the people who brought the word "****" into prominence are now super cozy with the idea of being submissive, boot-licking lapdogs?

The ironing is delicious

Take it from someone who works as an economic analyst, it is a finesse move. It will just be used as a way to justify tax cuts because "our model says they will be great".

Even if they do have perfect forecasting models, he promised a certain course of action.

Also once again, politics and economics are different.

I remember one of my professors had sign on his office door: "Economists do it with models (theoretically)"

That dude was always going about how dishonest and political dynamic scoring was.

So wait, conservatives are in favor of appeasement of a dictatorial regieme?

Is it far fetched to say that Trump is engaging in market manipulation?

Around 65 percent of BMW's production from its factory in Spartanburg, South Carolina is exported overseas. BMW builds the X3, X4, X5 and X6 models in the United States.

"It is surprising that Trump singles out the carmaker that exports more vehicles from the United States than any other manufacturer," analysts at Evercore ISI said.

Trump called Germany a great car producer, noting that Mercedes-Benz cars were a frequent sight in New York, but claimed there was not enough reciprocity.

Germans were not buying Chevrolets at the same rate, he said, calling the business relationship an unfair one-way street.

Chevrolet sales have fallen sharply in Europe since parent company General Motors (GM.N) in 2013 said it would drop the Chevrolet brand in Europe by the end of 2015. Since then, GM has focused instead on promoting its Opel and Vauxhall marques.

Could it be that Europeans drive less than Americans, that cars there are much less of a necessity than in the US, and that they are satisfied with what their automakers produce?

US media in a nutshell

Funny how this cartoon is supposed to be pro-Drumpf yet it basically admits that Drumpf wants to ally himself with an animal that can't be reasoned with.

Parody/satire is just not a right winger thing. They should stick with what they know: Lying and screwing poor people out of medical aid.

"I consider NATO ... a throwback to the Cold War era. It was created at a time when there was a bipolar system of international relations," said Putin, who has frequently criticized the alliance and its eastward expansion.

April 2012, Putin was President-elect then.

Many years ago, eh?

NATO: Founded in 1949

Electoral College: In use since 1788

Plus, in addition to being much younger NATO has the advantage of not being a completely idiotic idea.

That's why da trump brought back relics from the Bush administration in his cabinet. Not to mention, his VP supported the invasion.

Can we do away with the assumption that people waltz their way in the US already? Half of illegal immigration is people overstaying their visas, so they come in legally; in addition, the majority of immigration applicants have to wait years or even decades to settle in this country permanently.
