For sure the Republican party think they can benefit from him as President as they control both chambers, but they are not going to get him to do things their way anyway!! He hasn't put one profile Republican into his team at all, he is going to try to do it his way and the Republican party are the vehicle he is using!!
In 2018 there are big elections for a lot of senators and congressmen, if Trump cannot show some measurable progress then I can see the Republicans losing both the House and the Senate, at which point the Democrats will be able to block anything he tries to do!! Thats if he is still in place by then!!!

That explanation of what Uranium is was positively brilliant. :lol:
You truly wont see a better Hour of absolutely riveting batshit crazy TV anywhere than that last press conference there. Incredible stuff.

Re Trump's regular 'fake news' jibe, this is clearly a guy who is trying to delegitimise certain news items that are actually factual but contentious news issues. There was a recent issue re anti-semitism raised by a journalist and Trump dismissed this pertinent question and told the guy to sit down. The next questioning journo should've raised the same question again and stop him trying to orchestrate queries that suit his dialogue and likes! In other words, force him out of his comfort zone and challenge a president who should be challenged.

And now the lunatic is inventing non-existing terror attacks in sweden....or did he really mean that he saw the a report on immigration/crime in Sweden on fox, then one about the suicide bombing in Sehwan, Pakistan, and the two somehow merged in his mind ?
Either way the swedes are not very happy. It just highlights what a xxxx liability this trumpet is.

That story and the Swedes' bemused response to this 'drivel' was laughable! A case of EHHHHHH???? Trump is not a reputable statesman and never will be TBF. As said previously, he really does remind me of an unintelligent punter 'off the street' who reels off any kind of nonsensical opinion/info off the cuff without thinking or studying the subject! Great statesmen are born and are 'few and far between'! Trump is not one of them and is gradually becoming a great embarrassment to the USA and it's people, many of whom voted him in as president!

He is not dissimilar to George W Bush. Bush wasn't blessed with his fathers intelligence and you could argue was just like the man off the street like Trump is. But they both had money and were able to buy the presidency. Where they differed was GW recognized his weaknesses and surrounded himself with a very experienced political team and was then prepared to listen to the advice they gave him. Trump has surrounded himself with yes men and people with no political experience!! The lack of any ability for Trump to take any criticism or to even remotely think he is wrong, certainly sets him apart from any previous President!!!
