That is extremely unsettling given Trump's propensity for projecting strength. Especially when it comes to China.
I already have low expectations, but please don't kill us all. There is a reason everyone responded to Russia with sanctions and not military intervention.
i was driving down the road this november eve and spotted a hitchhiker walking down the street. i pulled over and saw that it was only a tree. i uprooted it and put it in my trunk. do trees like marshmallow peeps? cause that's all i have and will have.

Trump has such a deep craving for love and approval that he can't possibly to have had fewer votes than Clinton. Not shocking he's embraced an alternative reality founded on 0 evidence besides his own narcissim.

What do you guys speculate will happen if Trump loses reelection? He'll say it was because of illegal voters again for sure, but do you think he's petty enough to hinder any transition process he can until the inauguration? What if he calls the election results invalid :|
Fun(scary?) to think about.

If Trump rambles on like this I honestly don't know if he's going to survive the first four. He's still in full campaign mode

hmm, he does seem petty enough to hinder it; but there's limits to just how much he can hinder it.
I'm sure there's a lot of small petty things he can do, but he doesn't have the following to seriously prevent it, least not that I can think of.

Great read: http://shorensteincenter.org/news-coverage-2016-general-election/ great book on democracy: http://press.princeton.edu/titles/10671.html zlefin is grumpier due to long term illness. Ignoring some users.

I don't think he'll run for re-election unless he's extremely heavily favored. Will probably save face by saying he only needed 4 years. (Plus the presidency is going to do terrible things to his looks and his health).

Fortunately most of the outright fabrications are only related to Trump's ego/the media rather than policy. Hopefully, it stays that way.

His looks can get WORSE? Lord have mercy on us all, the cheeto is gonna get stale.

That being said, I disagree, I think he'll DEFINITELY run for reelection, otherwise thats just admitting that he couldn't cut it at as president, I don't think he has it in him to admit hes not fit for the position.

I'd rather it that way anyways, I want to see him lose not just step down.

I believe he has already picked out his 2020 slogan which will be Keep America Great . He trademarked Make America Great Again like back in 2012 I think.

I'm wondering if there will be a single day during Trump's presidency where he doesn't lie. Maybe if he gets knocked unconscious for 24 hours?

The new U.S. administration of President Donald Trump vowed on Monday that the United States would prevent China from taking over territory in international waters in the South China Sea, something Chinese state media has warned would require Washington to "wage war."

I can always move to Ireland and they should protect me. I've got citizenship. hopefully won't have to renounce US one

Enda will save me (although he needs to work at saving his party cause their popularity fell a bunch)

also Trump did say he was going to be the best job creater ever so he probably figures he needs a war to go toe to toe with FDR who had help from a little thing called WW2. (this is a joke)

In other news Stephen Colbert hosting Emmys. That should be entertaining. I can already imagine the first joke. "welcome to the emmy's and a very special welcome to our president who I'm sure is sitting with his phone and the twitter app already open and ready to repond to everything I say."

I mean he did realise that everyone makes fun of the president, especially when they're a republican right?

Maybe Trump is not a Russian puppet but a Chinese puppet really playing 7D chess? Nobody would ever figure that out! But he is really trying everything to make China look more sane, stable and reliable. (by lowering the contrast)

The Australian government will push ahead for a Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal without the United States and is open to Indonesia, China and others seeking to join the agreement.

Donald Trump nepotism and Rodrigo Borgia nepotism.

Ruling Family of the United States and the Ruling Family of the Rome.

Scary comparison?

OMG, what dreadful reality!!!!
