    ^^^lol...anyone notice Trump's hair has changed?...from orange to greyish blonde, shorter in the back and not as pointy in the front....looks much better.

    ...and sorry, but Jon Stewart's facial expressions can make me laugh without even saying a word;

    ^^^^^It's his way.........badger & belittle to prove he's top honcho, then ease up as if he's a nice guy!
    Chaos is his way too. Just part of the whole picture. Obnoxious, crude, & swaggering > the real Donald.

    ..........It is what it is.

    Tom, I really don't know your terminology for the word "tard". But, I find it derogatory &
    offensive. The word is slang for a person with mental retardation. "Libtard" in your dictionary
    would refer to leftists being retarded or in other words those who act stupidly. Not very humane
    on your part. Why? Because people do not have be defined by inflammatory language for you to make
    your point. BTW, I am no Libertarian, but I have been a teacher for the handicapped.

    indeed his make-up and hairstylists is detoxing Donald from those 1,000 shades of orange, on his face and in his hair. Using the "distinguished white" in lieu of the sly fox orang-utang. Someone's got to make him look presidential or diplomatic since his own mouth, and twitter feeds don't....! Gone is the shark front, next will be a dorsal fin on top.....

    ^^^^ good stuff:
    This may surprise you but whilst I’m not a fan of the way Mr Turnbull has been handling matters on this one I’ve got some sympathy for him because, quite bluntly, I don’t think you can run an American-Australian alliance by Twitter.

    I do believe these same sentiments were declared here first, 1/2 a yr ago; these boards were/are being hacked by the RNC... Yanxboardgate...!

    Tuck Frump....??? :biglaugh::biglaugh::lol: :lol: :prince:

    ...^^^ Matts, what's really troubling to me is that our government evidently has a very serious national security problem...like him or not, how can Trump get anything done if he's trying to do it by way of "Twitter Diplomacy"? ...for lack of a better term, Trump in a way is playing "a game of poker" and to win he really needs to hold his cards closer to his chest instead of showing them too quickly.
    ...It's hard for anyone to successfully negotiate anything when the other side already knows what you are thinking...I mean that's like being at war and telling your enemy ahead of time what your future moves are going to be.
    ...the other security problem Trump has is how are his supposed private phone conversations with other world leaders being leaked?...and who is leaking them?

    ^^^^ well stated, the very best thing Trump can do, right now to get the show on the road, is toss the Twitter completely. He's using his Tweets (like you said, titling his hand), with a neurotic like itchy trigger finger for a multi-media net based diary.... formally exposing his thoughts, dislikes, before he get's any kind of input or briefing on any subject matter. Very un-presidential like hogwash. For a formal businessman, whose got to keep his cards close to his chest, seems like he shows his hand, becomes offensive, creates a global scene to the very press he swears he disdains most of, picking and choosing who he likes this week or not....This guy is a real monster, makes me wonder how long he can keep up his torrid pace, without his health failing, or his toupee rugs getting shedding baldness disease....

    Anyone that can't grasp the value of twitter diplomacy has officially jumped the shark and its time to retire from AOL and the internet.....just sayin'.

    I really believe he does not want to be put in the mold of what a President should be.
    He does not want to look presidential. He does want to be in touch with his followers.
    I can't imagine the goings on in the White House. Decorum does not come to mind.
    I am sure he will continue to Twitter. God help him if he does not twitter, his fan base
    will revolt! Lol

    ...wow, yet another lame personal shot at me...spiffy. (FYI, I have not been an America OnLine subscriber for nearly 20 years now...you obviously don't know the difference between using AOL as an internet provider vs a simple imap)...if you're going to try to insult someone, at least know what you're talking about.

    ...FYI, I understand the value of using "Twitter Diplomacy" quite well, thank you...the issue I have is not with Twitter per se, but instead how and when Trump is using it...see the difference?

    ...Like I said, there are times when it's much wiser for someone to keep their intensions to themselves. Trump has exhibited on many occasions that he doesn't always think or investigate before speaking.



    ...not sure why you have such a problem with people speaking the truth, but that's on you...just sayin'.

    Liberalism is a mental disorder, physiologically and psychologically proven. If you aren't liberal and you're offended then we call that being a fucktard. Have a nice day.

    ...and I am neither...and I did have a nice day.

    ..."Liberalism is a mental disorder, physiologically and psychologically proven." ...hmmm, lemme see, when a conservative uses his biased "opinion" to write a book disparaging conservatives, it should be taken as gospel, but conversely, when a liberal writes a book downplaying conservatives it should be totally ignored and discounted...hey, there's a novel idea...hypocritical much?

    ...your second statement is equally jaded and baseless, not to mention completely false, as well as offensive.

    ...but by all means, continue to speak in broad generalizations as well as trying to prove your point with opinion and innuendo instead of facts,

    ...yup, and I learned that anyone who does not agree with every move Trump makes is by default, either a "libtard" or a "fucktard".

    ...fwiw, as I said earlier, the looming battle between the 3 branches of our government will be epic and far reaching, one way or the other.

    ...^^^ I know he's not your typical "politician" and he's pledged not to be, but he needs to realize that being President is in fact a political position...I just wish he'd start learning from his mistakes.
