If you knew how to use Twitter there R followups



Has Trump ever responded to a follow-up, for instance; Mr Pres-Elect, How exactly do you force a sovereign nation (Mexico) to pay for a wall they do not want?

First of all, Hillary Clinton was having a daily press conference on her campaign plane. Trump bans the press from his plane and bans certain outlets (Wash-Post) from attending his rallies.

Second, Trump is now considering keeping Obama's executive order relating to DACA (the dreamers).

Lets be real.

Trump is relying quite a bit on Obama's advice and is one by one throwing all his supporters to the wayside.

It WAS a con job.

Now, in keeping with a great con man...his tweets, which cannot be questioned and are accepted as fact by his loyal followers will not show anything.....he will put up a facade but all that crap he was preaching to prey on people who might believe it is history.

He will avoid press conferences as long as he can.

A question to him on a press conference might show him for what he is, although he is very good with the 'glibness" (if that is a word).

He will continue business as usual. The conservative Republican agenda will be served and he will simply be a vocal front man.

Harsh maybe, but I see nothing to change my mind.

He could have addressed the Mattis appointment face to face, as he says he wants it to be, but he allowed (be honest..you know the Pres elect has a say in congressional action) the Republicans to add it to a spending bill. Oh how he has bitched about that in the past !!!

Oh boy, she never flew everyday, she rested many days between flights.

she had informal questions at best.

Trump just didn't have room on his plane, they flew on second plane.

they were not banned (yet)


Twitter works better he don't need the press his unaltered message to 40 million in seconds.

first part of question he does respond directly and re-posts those tweets with replies.

Did you ever use Twitter? Sure don't sound like it.

You don't force Mex you convince them it's in their best interest....

Barring that you add a tax on all western union transfers from USA to Mex, they send billions every year.

I'm surre there are other ways as welll

"I’ll protect your livelihoods, the newly elected president promised factory employees whose jobs were in danger.

I’ll save you money by rejecting a costly overhaul of my own aircraft, he told taxpayers a couple of weeks later.

I’ll spend billions to repair the country’s crumbling roads and bridges, creating jobs in the process, he told Congress.

I’ll sell my agenda by using the bully pulpit, he told the press, holding rallies around the country and shaming corporate greed that comes at the expense of ordinary people. And to do it all, he would set up a new political organization to pressure anyone who refused to play along.

His opponents were horrified, and said he was abusing the power of the Oval Office.

The year was 2009. The new president was Barack Obama.


Trump follows Obama’s political blueprint - POLITICO

REALLY quite interesting.....

"Trump cut a deal with Carrier to keep jobs from going to Mexico, much like Obama asked the CEO of Caterpillar to halt planned layoffs. Trump said a planned upgrade of Air Force One was a waste of money, while Obama said he didn’t need expensive new Marine One helicopters. Trump wants a $1 trillion infrastructure package, while Obama eventually settled for $830 billion. Trump has launched a “thank you tour” of states he won, while Obama stumped for his stimulus bill. And both men believed in the need to set up an external political arm — Obama for America vs. Trump’s reported Unleash the Potential — to keep their grass-roots bases fired up and ready to go."

"President-elect Donald Trump said early Wednesday that he has run some of his Cabinet choices past President Barack Obama.

“I would say that, yes, I take his recommendations very seriously and there are some people that I will be appointing and in one case have appointed where he thought very highly of that person, yes," Trump told NBC’s “Today" show.
“I do like him. I love getting his ideas. And I may differ in many cases, I differ very greatly. In many cases I’m the opposite," Trump said of Obama"

Actually it is quite smart, but boy do not trust that old Twitter account

Donald Trump Bans 'Washington Post' From Campaign Events : NPR

Rockyrd 12-07-2016 01:57 PM

I love these cute little girly cartoons. Just so you know, that is an old quote with an old answer.....

"Arguing with conservatives is like playing chess with a six year old. No matter whether you let them win, or kick their ass, at some point they'll throw a tantrum, toss the board in the air, and storm out of the room crying. "

Now I take some offensive to that last one as I am a true conservative.

Just making the point that these little cute remarks are not original, very immature, not discussing politics and meant for the play ground.

Rockyrd 12-07-2016 02:01 PM

Not the only one....

"starting in the summer of 2015 — just weeks after his campaign kickoff — Donald Trump banned credentials for a robust list of media outlets, including the Huffington Post, Politico, The Washington Post and BuzzFeed. The action made it harder for these outlets to cover Trump rallies and other events, forcing them to enter arenas with the general public, as opposed to gaining smoother entree to media areas.

The stifling steps against media organizations sprouted from thin skin. The Des Moines Register secured its banishment after it ran an editorial in the summer of 2015 arguing that he should get out of the race. The Huffington Post got the stiff-arm after it decided to locate its Trump coverage under its “entertainment” category, on the thinking that Trump wasn’t a serious political story. The Washington Post got its ban after it published this headline, based on a Trump appearance on cable TV: “Donald Trump suggests President Obama was involved with Orlando shooting.” BuzzFeed got banned for … ????"


Donald Trump wielded an authoritarian press ban against various media outlets for more than a year - The Washington Post

Our new president has a spotty record, not only with race relations, honest but freedom of the press.

Glad you like them.

NEVER said liked.

It is sort of like watching children play in the school yard..sometimes cute, but never worthy of any serious adult conversation.

You are entitled to your opinion.

Remember when you said 100% of all economic experts rejected Trump's financial plan.

I posted this.

I have absolutely no idea whatsoever what your post means.

I had no idea that permission was required for certain colors.

So, in reading the links, the most important message you got was color and ownership of print color ?
