Can't be wrong that way You are probably overestimating Trump because chances are he literally does not know any foreign leaders other than Putin, Nieto and Merkel, maybe Hollande and Cameron.
Cameron is out, although I'd believe that Trump doesn't know that.

He's just telling it like it is in barely comprehensible nonsense late night tweets that upon reflection don't make much sense and contradict the many times he's talked about "many people saying."
Plus, Alicia Machado doesn't actually have a sex tape.
Great quality for the a big league president!
It's like he's doing everything he can to make whataboutism the only possible way to defend him to make his supporters have the hardest job in the universe.

le pen? she's a female!

The best part is she never had a sex tape. Its a porn star that looks like her. Its on snopes if you want to check it out. I don't think a smaller more pathetic human has ever existed than Donny Trump.

So am i getting this right? Trump has made that woman Miss universe and an object for men to drool at, then fatshamed her and now he attacks her as a disgusting woman that Cinton helped to get in US? Or is that someone else he tweeted about? Also he warns people that politicians or media may say thingswithout proof? Really?

Ask him to name the leader of China: "Mao is dead, right?"
Trump is a bad learner and gets his information from Fox News and talk radio, he really can't be trusted to get even basic things right. One might as well ask a random Fox News viewer to become president and elucidate on world affairs.

He had her work out at a press conference to prove she was trying to lose weigh. She just went to the gym to work out and Trump ambushed her with reporters so they could watch.

Maybe what America needs is Trump to serve four years, and next time nominate a better opposing candidate that won't make Nixon look like Saint George.

You basically have a cartoon villain running for President.
I think you guys should've stuck to the "literally Hitler" schtick.

Thanks for the laugh. I'm literally delusional to even consider voting for him. An actual threat to world civilization.
Now put a Bible in your right hand and state that this election is between the forces of darkness and the forces of light. It used to be common fare to make fun of the religious right's figures, but now it's crossed over to the American left.
And yes, between the two, Trump is the far better choice for America, however upset I am that those are final two choices.

The GOP deserves to lose seats in House and Senate for pulling this kind of stuff. If you want to make a point that Obama wouldn't discuss what bill he would support, overriding the veto to bring him back to the table is the absolute wrong way.

Add to that how long she got away with it, just like you were concerned with Trump's. Maybe what America needs is Trump to serve four years, and next time nominate a better opposing candidate that won't make Nixon look like Saint George. Hell, the journalism alone might be a boon to the next generation to see what speaking truth to power really looks like. Constantly amazes me how entrenched the party lines are in the US. You basically have a cartoon villain running for President. I think you guys should've stuck to the "literally Hitler" schtick.

Anyone honestly think comey would add in an intent element to the statute for me or you or anyone else? Lost a lot of faith in the FBI. Probably? You'd also have to be someone with access to classified documents in the first place. I imagine there's this bizarre fetishization of classified information, like the public imagines that a breach of that will get you shipped to a secret prison and you'll never see the light of day again. Reality is probably that tons of classified documents get mishandled, in small amounts, basically every day. Also, the reddit post wasn't about deleting emails, it was removing names and email addresses. One specific person's. Which the FBI either knew who it was (if it was Hillary), or could get easily by asking the dumb IT guy. The US gov routinely classifies virtually everything, often stuff that you can read in the newspapers but which the government is not yet ready to admit will be classified information. No surprise people inside the government don't take it seriously. Something like a million citizens have fairly wide access to classified information anyway, these things are all open secrets. Of course there are some stricter labels like top secret that to reveal carry real implications.

Remind you of anyone?

In Danglars' reality, no one made fun of Dukakis and McGovern like they did Falwell and Robertson. Interesting.

Mr Trump, what is your priority within the nuclear triad, the b52s, the missiles or the submarines?
Nuclear changes the whole ball game. The biggest problem we have today is nuclear proliferation anding are some maniac, having some madman go out and get a nuclear weapon. In my opinion, that is the single biggest problem that our country faces right now.
Of the three legs of the triad though, do you have a priority?
For me, nuclear, the power, the devastation, is very important to me.
Your choice for commander in chief.
