Trump has always lived his life by the axiom that one should try his best to get along with everyone.

Is Trump planning a military Arms Race? Shouldnā€™t he inform the public of his plans for an Arms Race?

Totally. Spineless. Orange. Quisling.
I never thought Trump would be so mealy-mouthed. What kind of tough guy is this?

He should try and get along with US Citzens.

Trump, who goes crazy at even the merest hint that he is subservient to or less than anyone else in the world continues to bow down to Putin right out in public for everyone to see. It is eerie. I dislike all conspiracy theories, right or left, but I hope I find out the explanation for this one before I die. It is just so fucking weird.

Unless Ivankaā€™s (or Mel or Ivana) been dating a Russian model/dancer since 2013 or even earlier, this is not a seismic shift. PuPPetā€™s been pursuing since at least then but, as Corn and Isikoff have told us, it peaked in 2013 when Moscow hosted the Miss Universe contest, and PP sold his soul for a real estate development which is no further along now as it was thenā€¦

The WaPo reporter Carol Leonnig described it as an ā€œOMGā€ scramble. They havenā€™t learned yet how to manage the day care center PPā€™s made out of the White House.

ā€œGetting along is a good thingā€ is exactly how trolls from Putinā€™s troll farm positioned themselves on social media leading up to the election. If getting along was so important, one would think 45 wouldnā€™t so hastily call for his political opponent to be jailed.

He wants to talk it over with Putin first, how best to scare the people in both countries into letting the two of them steal their countries blind.

Trump had ignored a plea from national security advisers written in capital letters in briefing materials: ā€œDO NOT CONGRATULATE.ā€

Thatā€™s really all anyone needs to know. Trump purposefully acted in the opposite manner of that which was directed by our intelligence community, whose objective is to protect the Constitution and the United States. I wonder if any Republicans have the patriotism to stand up to him and remove him from office?

This is probably EXACTLY how Donald Trump the real estate and casino developer treated the powerful mafia bosses in NYC and New Jersey.

Iā€™m old enough to remember the times when the GOP was supposedly adamant in its resolve against Russian involvement and interference in American politics. My how times have changed.
