White House cancels Trump media event amidst Flynn's plea - Polidicks

[quote]12:15 PM - President Donald Trump is not answering questions about former national security adviser Michael Flynn's guilty plea to lying to the FBI. Trump did not respond to shouted questions Friday morning as he welcomed Libyan Prime Minister Fayez Serraj to the White House. He waved and flashed a thumbs up. [...] 12:30 PM - The White House has cancelled a scheduled opportunity for reporters to question President Donald Trump about former national security adviser Michael Flynn's guilty plea. The public White House schedule had said that reporters would be allowed to document part of Trump's meeting with Libyan Prime Minister Fayez al-Sarraj. During these media events, called "pool sprays," reporters usually pepper the president with questions. Trump often answers, using opportunity to deliver his message directly to voters. Reporters had been lined up outside the Oval Office, waiting to enter the room, when White House staffers marched them back into the press room. White House spokeswoman Lindsay Walters then told them the media event would not happen. Earlier, Trump ignored shouted questions about Flynn as he greeted the prime minister at the door.[/quote] [url=http://www.kansascity.com/news/nation-world/article187503133.html]Source: The Kansas City Star[/url]

Trump is known for keeping his mouth shut and being very careful and concise with his statements, after all

Handlers desperately try to keep Donald from making things worse.

Is there going to be a twitter meltdown instead or are his handlers really trying to keep him in check today

I don't claim to know exactly what's going on behind the scenes, but I can't help but feel extremely vindicated over thinking Trump seemed way more unhinged these last few days

Just waiting for the internal leaks to reveal that Trump is smashing up the Oval Office with a golf club.

There's probably some kind of epic battle going on in the White House right now concerning certain phone with a Twitter app.

Holy shit that thread flair

I wonder if Trump would just admit to everything so his stupid fanbase can be like "see, he has nothing to hide c:"

[QUOTE=Big Dumb American;52938494]Just waiting for the internal leaks to reveal that Trump is smashing up the Oval Office with a golf club.[/QUOTE] imagine if trump destroyed the oval office desk ([URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resolute_desk"]The Resolute Desk[/URL]) in his rage. shits basically a monument. used by: John F. Kennedy Jimmy Carter Ronald Reagan Bill Clinton George W. Bush Barack Obama

with trump's hardon for overturning everything Obama related, I'm surprised he hasn't had the desk Obama used burned.

[QUOTE=Quark:;52938621]with trump's hardon for overturning everything Obama related, I'm surprised he hasn't had the desk Obama used burned.[/QUOTE] I wouldn't be surprised if years after he's put away that a former WH aide tells the public that he tried to get rid of it multiple times but had to be told no. "You're gonna sit there and deal with it!" Or, alternatively, he was told it was also used by Reagan to get him to shut up.

Better not touch that damn desk. It's been here for 150 years almost

[QUOTE=TheTalon;52938972]Better not touch that damn desk. It's been here for 150 years almost[/QUOTE] Well, it's very simple. Should Trump damage anything of value in the White House, simply have an antiquarian appraise it, and seize his assets to pay for the damage when he's criminally charged. This administration always supported civil asset forfeiture, after all.

[QUOTE=wewt!;52939091]It's not like his tiny hands could chuck it very far. Where was this reported?[/QUOTE] Unconfirmed leaks from white house staffers, apparently. Didn't see the original source, so I guess I can't say much more than that. Pretty damn funny, if true.

[QUOTE=Big Dumb American;52939102]Unconfirmed leaks from white house staffers, apparently. Didn't see the original source, so I guess I can't say much more than that.

As much as I'd like it to be true it just sounds like shitty Twitter fanfic nonsense to me.

[QUOTE=BlackMageMari;52939201]No it's terrifying. What if the President of the united States assaults someone during his next blow - and people defend him?

geT FUCKED YOU ORANGE GOOBER

We'll see what's next. Interested though.
