Trump also specifically ripped NBC’s “Today” show. [media]https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/821697182235496450[/media] [media]https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/821699672687448064[/media] [/QUOTE] I dunno about anyone else, but it's becoming more than a little concerning to me that Trump is going out of his way to all everything he doesn't like "fake news". He's pushing a dangerous narrative that does nothing except absolves him of any and all problems that arise during his presidency.
LOOK AT MEEEEEE - Trumps reaction to news that doesn't involve him.
[QUOTE=Primigenes;51690323]If everything is fake news. Who do I turn to?[/QUOTE] Daddy Don of course. He's so smart. :downs:
[QUOTE=Primigenes;51690323]If everything is fake news. Who do I turn to?[/QUOTE] I don't think he's said anything about Alex Jones.
Some of the CEOS literally already said it wasn't because of him, Trump knows his twitter followers are too stupid to actually look up the facts.
I'm sad the amount of likes/retweets trump is getting is going down. Now less people will be exposed to his quite obvious bullshit.
[QUOTE=Primigenes;51690323]If everything is fake news. Who do I turn to?[/QUOTE] as in any dictatorship, the blessed leader humself. i wish twitter would do something about being a fucking mouthpiece for trump though

[/QUOTE] What are you going on about? Trump has been acting this way the whole campaign. Some of his supporters thought it was just a show to rally the base, and that it would stop once the election ended. It did not stop, in fact it got worse because now his words have weight to them. This idiot can sway stock market prices just by shitposting on twitter. I really don't see what "the main stream media" has to do with Trump acting like a wannabe dictator.
[QUOTE=Sableye;51690356]as in any dictatorship, the blessed leader humself. i wish twitter would do something about being a fucking mouthpiece for trump though[/QUOTE] Imagine if Twitter started putting automatic fact-check addendum to every one of his posts.
[QUOTE=AbbaDee;51690301]He's pushing a dangerous narrative that does nothing except absolves him of any and all problems that arise during his presidency.[/QUOTE] Making shit up about Trump is what leads to a situation where when, not if, when he fucks up, nobody's going to pay attention because the last 50 leaks and scandals were horseshit.
[QUOTE=Silly Sil;51690394]Making shit up about Trump is what leads to a situation where when, not if, when he fucks up, nobody's going to pay attention because the last 50 leaks and scandals were horseshit.[/QUOTE] Who's making shit up? What are you even responding to?
Trump's made 1000 robot jobs and Obama has made what? 16 million? But no haha Trump clearly is the bigger man here
[QUOTE=Primigenes;51690323]If everything is fake news. Who do I turn to?[/QUOTE] Russia today of course
"The MSM did it too" should not be a justification for Trump's behavior.
It's embarrassing having this guy as president. The person that represents us to the rest of the world is a fucking man baby that STILL has a twitter meltdown every other day. Not even teenage girls that choose a new shitty boyfriend every week bring as much of their drama online as this guy
this guy is actually fucking retarded here are my posts on the matter [QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;51595471] So I might have been unclear in my message because people are assuming that I agree with people saying "rip 8000 missing jobs in china, you fucking monsters!" but that's a smaller issue than this potential game of illusion Trump is playing with everyone. [quote]President-elect Donald J. Trump took credit on Wednesday for a decision by Sprint to add 5,000 jobs in the United States as he tried to deliver on his promise to force corporate America to focus on job creation at home rather than abroad. “I was just called by the head people at Sprint, and they are going to be bringing 5,000 jobs back to the United States,” Mr. Trump told reporters at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. “They have taken them from other countries. They are bringing them back to the United States.” The announcement followed a meeting Mr. Trump had this month with Masayoshi Son, the chief executive of Japan’s SoftBank, which said it would invest $50 billion in the United States and create 50,000 positions.[/quote] [quote][highlight]It was not clear whether the combined 8,000 jobs were part of that 50,000 commitment from Mr. Son.[/highlight] Although Mr. Trump claimed credit for SoftBank’s $50 billion investment in the United States, [highlight]those plans predated the election, and Mr. Son has owned a controlling stake in Sprint, among other companies, for several years.[/highlight][/quote] [url]http://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/28/us/politics/donald-trump-sprint-jobs.html[/url] [quote]On Tuesday, Mr. Son, a Japanese mogul, struck another big pledge after meeting with President-elect Donald J. Trump: to invest $50 billion in the United States, a move that he said would create some 50,000 jobs. [highlight]But the $50 billion investment pledge is not an entirely new initiative that SoftBank is undertaking. Instead, the money is projected to come from the Japanese company’s previously announced Vision fund, a $100 billion vehicle for investing in technology companies worldwide.[/highlight][/quote] [url]http://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/06/business/dealbook/donald-trump-mayayoshi-son-softbank.html[/url] So we established that the $50 billion investment and 50,000 jobs has nothing to do with Trump, and he's only riding off of that, trying to take as much credit as possible. What about the 8,000 jobs? [quote]“I was just called by the head people at Sprint, and they are going to be bringing 5,000 jobs back to the United States,” Mr. Trump told reporters at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. “They have taken them from other countries. They are bringing them back to the United States.” SoftBank owns a controlling stake in Sprint, the mobile phone carrier, and is a major investor in OneWeb, a satellite start-up that Mr. Trump said Wednesday would create an additional 3,000 jobs in the United States.

[/quote] [QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;51667730] [QUOTE=Dracon;51667221]how do you add jobs and lower cost at the same time?[/QUOTE] It's called getting played by Lockheed Martin CEO Marillyn Hewson. Reuters is literally the only news article that doesn't include the full quotes and passes it as a good thing. I'm starting to see a trend with Tudd posting reuters articles that leave a lot of information out especially expert analysis. Here is the full statement by Marillyn Hewson. [quote]"We had the opportunity to talk to him about the F-35 program and I certainly share his views that we need to get the best capability to our men and women in uniform and we have to get it at the lowest possible price. So I'm glad I had the opportunity to tell him that we are close to a deal that will bring the cost down significantly from the previous lot of aircraft to the next lot of aircraft and moreover it's going to bring a lot of jobs to the United States. "In fact we are going to increase our jobs in Fort Worth by 1,800 jobs and when you think about the supply chain across 45 states in the US it's going to be thousands and thousands of jobs. [B]And I also had the opportunity to give him some ideas on things we think we can do to continue to drive the cost down on the F-35 program so it was a great meeting.[/B]"[/quote] [url]http://www.businessinsider.com/trump-lockheed-martin-ceo-marillyn-hewson-f35-costs-jobs-2017-1[/url] Another article that potentially explains the motive of Marillyn Hewson. [quote]There's an attempt here to come to some sort of reconciliation (with Lockheed)," said Richard Safran, Buckingham Research Group director of equity research. He said there's "an expectation or hope on Lockheed's side that they can get the cost down similar to what Boeing promised for the F-18." The analyst said Trump's "heart seems to be in the right place to save taxpayer's money." [B]Safran suggested one way to perhaps save money is to do a multiyear procurement on the F-35 instead of the current low-rate initial production lots. [/B] Indeed, if the government were to agree to a large block buy on the F-35 fighter it could change the economics of the aircraft's costs. Analysts say a large block buy could give Lockheed the chance to do a better deal with its partner contractors and supply base through a commitment of several years of production.[/quote] [quote]"This is just classic political posturing on both sides," said Moody's analyst Russell Solomon, who covers the aerospace and defense industry. "It won't have a discernible adverse impact on the company. But it's an indication that everything is in negotiation these days." Added Solomon, "The F-35 is critically important to the country in terms of global defense and NATO partners. [B]A lot of interested parties here in making sure that this program continues and continues to grow as expected so that they can get the operating efficiencies that they've committed to.[/B]"[/quote] [url]http://www.cnbc.com/2017/01/13/lockheed-martin-ceo-close-to-deal-on-slashing-f-35-program-costs.html[/url] Don't be surprised if Lockheed Martin benefits more from this deal than America does..[/quote]
What a fucking twat, everything about this screams he is obsessed with making himself look good. He is so going to get played with by foreign leaders and republicans as well since all you have to do is make him feel good/important. Trump should just be barred from Twitter because he is literally a shitposter on twitter. also ironic that trump is complaining about fake news. Remember when he wanted obama to show he was born in the united states? like seriously man, look in a mirror to see the fake news.
To do a bit of a Trump That plays great [I]before[/I] the Election now that he's actually president I think people are going to get tired of his incessant whining and claiming that everything's fake news or rigged even though he won it's a good show before the election when you assume he's going to do something or maybe it [I]is[/I] rigged, afterwards it's just fucking whining and it's gonna get real old real quick
He's going to be president in 2 days, will he still be allowed to post anything on twitter?
[QUOTE=Daniel Smith;51690574]He's going to be president in 2 days, will he still be allowed to post anything on twitter?[/QUOTE] He'll beable to post under @POTUS when he becomes president.
[QUOTE=Snapster;51690585]He'll beable to post under @POTUS when he becomes president.[/QUOTE] Imagine if he posts Pepe memes to the POTUS twitter
[QUOTE=Mister Sandman;51690595]Imagine if he posts Pepe memes to the POTUS twitter[/QUOTE] What if he simultaneously used both accounts. Oh GOD.
This is just further evidence towards one of my theories about trump: a big reason he wanted to be president, or really do anything he does, is to be a 'winner' at it and to look as good as possible.
[QUOTE=Snapster;51690585]He'll beable to post under @POTUS when he becomes president.[/QUOTE] The @POTUS transition from, safe, inoffensive and well-crafted tweets into the ramblings of an angry, insecure demagogue will be interesting.
I hope you'll be able to see the gap like it just goes from "To the girl from the South Side who took on a role she didn't ask for and made it her own: Happy Birthday, Michelle. I love you." to "NBC lying that polls say women think I'm creepy or disgusting! No problem with the ladies I assure you! Fake news!"
[QUOTE=SIRIUS;51690603]This is just further evidence towards one of my theories about trump: a big reason he wanted to be president, or really do anything he does, is to be a 'winner' at it and to look as good as possible.[/QUOTE] That's not even a theory - it's true. He's said countless times that he wants to win and win big all the time. He's been a super competitive person all his life.
[QUOTE]...to the U.S., but had nothing to do with TRUMP, is more FAKE NEWS. Ask top CEO's of those companies for real facts. [b]Came back because of me![/b][/QUOTE] An absolutely surreal level of unprofessionalism. Literally get any other politician that has the average amount of self control expected from a human being to sit in the chair and sign shit.
