Seth is not a fan of TheRUMP

I enjoyed watching her twist in the wind....

TheRUMP wasn't notified?...then It was appended to the last two pages of briefing notes...;

Well, HE didn't see them?

What a waste of "paper"...Just leave the last 2 pages off of all briefing notes?

Eventually there would be NO briefing notes?

Eliminate "the middle man/POTUS...print briefing notes and throw them in the garbage?

no need to bring up Hillary OR Obama, because as a once famous man said

The so-called "last press conference" of Richard Nixon took place on November 7, 1962, ... out at the media, proclaiming that "you don't have Nixon to kick around any more, because, gentlemen, this is my last press conference."

Trump endorses boot-maker who imports 75 per cent of its products from China

Republican President-elect Donald Trump on Thursday urged people to buy from outdoors retailer L.L. Bean — even though many of its products are made in China — as it faces calls for a boycott because of a company heiress' donations to his candidacy.

Despite Claims that Said Otherwise, Trump Confidently Admitted Back in 2015: ‘I’m Not Germophobic’

At his press conference today, President-Elect Donald Trump addressed the memo Buzzfeed published yesterday and denied some of the more salacious aspects of it, saying, “Does anyone really believe that story? I’m also very much a germaphobe, by the way, believe me.

In 2015, however, during his Presidential campaign, Trump was on the cover of The Hollywood Reporter. At that point, it had been reported that he didn’t like to shake hands with people because he’s a germaphobe. Janice Min asked him whether he’d “kiss babies and shake hands on the trail.” He responded, saying, “I’m not germophobic.”

Every time he says "believe me"...be suspicious?

He's been cured!! Let us all rejoice. Will you rejoice with me that Trump's been cured by his fear of germs. Obviously though, it's kept him healthier than many peers over his lifetime. Maybe people shouldn't make fun of those who believe germs might not be the greatest thing since sliced bread came along? Can we hear a cheer for the germs? Can we hear one for the germans?

Trump-branded Toronto hotel and condo tower up for sale

Despite Toronto's robust hotel market, the Trump project was plagued by delays, cost overruns and other issues since breaking ground in 2007.

Investors unhappy

Since it launched, fewer than half of the property's residential condos have been sold, and the occupancy rates of the hotel rooms have been lower than some investors had wanted, according to court documents.

The average daily rate for hotel rooms in the building has declined by about 30 per cent, court documents suggest.

Neither Trump nor his companies have any ownership stake in the building.

What we know about Trump-Russia is bad enough

Trump’s real estate empire relies, though we don’t know how much, on Russian money. Trump says he never invested in Russia or got loans from Russia. But he did get investment from Russia. In 2008, his son said that Russian investment was “pouring in” to Trump properties. Even before that, Trump had a whole series of partners and investors linked to post-Soviet oligarchs and even Russian organized crime. Has Trump concealed his tax returns for this reason?

TheRUMP suggests the "press core" move out
Jan 15, 2017 1:13PM PST

TheRUMP suggests the "press core" move out of the White House, to a larger space so more reporters can ask questions.

How bout THIS scenario?

This "move" would also enable the person being asked questions (TheRUMP) to have a larger number of people to take up time/avoid answering unfriendly questions...."FAKE NEWS" CLAIMS...

"Fake news" shall also be know as "tweets"?

At least get your facts right, JP....before you speculate.
Jan 15, 2017 3:24PM PST

BO is the one who decided to remodel the press corps room and moved them to another location. Evidently Trump is ok with the new location that he is considering making it a permanent location instead because the seating won't be proprietary (favorite reporters get front row seats in the old press corps room) so if you want front row seats you would have to get there early to 'mark your territory'....otherwise, you take a seat wherever you can find one.

Springsteen cover band booked for inaugural gig in Washington cancels out respect for Bruce

Anyone think TheRUMP smells a breach of contract lawsuit?

Bruce Springsteen is giving President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration the Pennsylvania Avenue freeze-out, and now his cover band has cancelled plans to perform in Washington DC.

With Springsteen having called the Republican president-elect a “flagrant, toxic narcissist” and questioning whether he’s competent for the job, the B Street Band’s performance at an inaugural event hosted by a New Jersey group drew jeers on social media from fans of his music that the band is abandoning the soul of the musician they’ve made a career of following.

Unfortunately, no liberals and radical lefties can admit
Jan 17, 2017 2:33AM PST

to the fact that they DO use intimidation and threats in order to get people to 'get in line' and continue to act like the sheep they need. These are the same tactics/methods used by thugs and the Mafia during the depression years and perfected over time, but it's all the same. "Do as we say or we will destroy you, one way or another".

It's amazing to me how people who are already millionaires could still be so afraid of retaliation by 'those in charge' and that they are so insecure that they could revert back to acting like kids just starting out and afraid their careers will end or have gigs cancelled if they don't play ball. How pitiful that they no longer have control over their own lives and decisions.....but evidently they never have had it and still live for their agents and bookings. What an eye opener for the 'fans' they have relied on. I guess they don't realize that 'boycotting' actually can go both ways........

RE: I guess they don't realize that 'boycotting' actually can go both ways........

And NOW TheRUMP is realizing "boycotting" IS going both ways.

Perhaps he is regretting his birther claims, President Obama "founded the terrorist group ISIS" and that they honor him as their founder and I know more about ISIS than the generals do, believe me”.

Monica Crowley bows out of Trump administration post following plagiarism revelations

"After much reflection I have decided to remain in New York to pursue other opportunities and will not be taking a position in the incoming administration," she told the Times in a statement. "I greatly appreciate being asked to be part of President-elect Trump's team and I will continue to enthusiastically support him and his agenda for American renewal."

CNN's KFILE originally reported last week that Crowley had plagiarized more than 50 times in her 2012 book "What the Bleep Just Happened." In response to the story, publisher HarperCollins pulled the book from sales until it could be updated to include proper attribution.


AFTER she got caught...she started to "reflect"?

Even women from north of the border are headed to the inauguration

A carload of Saint John women who say they feel threatened and repulsed by Donald Trump heads to the U.S. Capitol this week for the Women's March on Washington.

And as they approach, they'll join others wearing knitted pink caps — also known as "***** hats" — to make a visual statement of support for the human rights the Trump election has put at risk.

The Pussyhat Project, launched in late November, according to its website, encourages activists to wear the hats at the march Saturday and has even provided the knitting instructions.


"It's a symbol to say, 'You can't touch us,'" said Debbie Eden, referring to Trump's lewd 2005 comment to an entertainment reporter on a videotape that only surfaced in October.
