It's quite difficult nowadays to discriminate between facts, alternative facts, rumours, guesses, slips and lies, isn't it.

RE:move the White House to Hollywood and see if the celebrities

A Western White House?

You have the DC White House Washington......the Southern White House Fl.

Now you want a third White House? Part of TheRUMP's job creation plan?

You can never have too many White Houses?

RE:see if the celebrities there could do a better job

Arnold already threw down that gauntlet...AFTER POTUS said HE did a better job than Arnold. on The Apprentice.......

RE: for less pay....less than "NO PAY"? Well, maybe a buck....IF I have to....he says

Would you give up $400,000 per year? That's exactly what President-Elect Donald Trump says he'll do in 2017. Last night, on CBS' 60 Minutes, Trump was asked about taking a presidential salary while in the White House.

His answer? "Well, I’ve never commented on this, but the answer is no. I think I have to by law take $1, so I’ll take $1 a year. But it’s a -- I don’t even know what it is." When CBS news anchor Lesley Stahl reminded him that it was $400,000 per year, he replied, "No, I’m not gonna take the salary. I’m not taking it."


Trump.............. "will be POTUS for food and expenses"?

I see his little woman is complaining/suing about losing millions because she can't use her "position" to sell some jewellery...

I'm glad to see she is leaving him alone in DC and she is staying with the young fella in NY...

I smiled when she was all smiles at the Inauguration, while he was looking at her, and as soon as his back was turned...such a frown on her face.....Not that I wish her any ill will.

"his little woman"??????

That's what he thinks...HE has to defend them?

And now he's tweeting about Nordstrom cancelling a deal with Ivanka

My daughter Ivanka has been treated so unfairly by @Nordstrom. She is a great person -- always pushing me to do the right thing! Terrible!

Melania Trump wants to cash in on her First Lady status

The lawsuit states that "as an extremely famous and well-known person, as well as a former professional model, brand spokesperson and successful businesswoman" Melania could "have garnered multi-million dollar business relationships for a multi-year term during which [she would be] one of the most photographed women in the world."

See what I mean?

Without him she got nothing...."his little woman"

She was already successful in her own right
Feb 8, 2017 12:01PM PST

when she met him.....and she is our First Lady, JP....not 'his little woman'. Do you see what I mean? Maybe if she was built like Michelle and started a veggie garden in her new WH backyard (that was nothing more than a photo op and never heard about again) that other people cared for or let go to seed and disappeared, you would be more kind? Would you EVER refer to Michelle as BO's 'little woman'? Does she even RESEMBLE a woman who would take that role in her marriage? Why would you think Melania would that you give yourself the position/authority of such a derogatory remark? Actually, it was men with that type of attitude against/toward women that started the 'women's lib' movement in the 60's. Some things don't change, I guess if you are still that way at your age 50 years later. Clearly you haven't evolved into anything resembling a pc man to where you can't even pretend to be.....and you call yourself a 'progressive' liberal.

As for Ivanka's line.....it was also very successful long before now and the only reason for sales dropping off is because of the attitudes of lefties openly boycotting anything out there with a Trump name on it. It could have been the best clothing line in the world and affordable to the 'average' woman, which it is, but if you are spotted in a store actually buying it now, you are probably going to be attacked by some crazy loon. I suspect her line will be available on line where buyers can remain anonymous and it will continue to be successful. She's no dummy when it comes to business, JP.....

RE:derogatory remark
Feb 8, 2017 12:22PM PST

Someone can make a "derogatory remark" to someone that thinks there is too much PC in the world?

More derogatory than "crazy loon"..That would be a non-supporter of Trump/lefty?

Looks like daddy was going to take care of clothing affordable to the 'average' woman, with his threats/promises to stop/tax imports. Unless, of course, he was just making idle threats...

boycotting anything out there with a Trump name on it.

If President-elect Donald Trump needs an object lesson on the difficulty of reviving broad sectors of U.S. manufacturing, he need look only as far as his daughter’s closet.

Cut her losses and walk away....give her "affordable clothes"{ to the needy and take a tax write off?

NO!!!

Another possible reason IS

The POTUS has promised/threatened to tax ALL imports....It's All about the bucks?

You think Ivanka and Melania are the only ones that will be affected by his threats/promises?

The mission was highly successful..like the raid in Yemen...there was collateral damage but the mission was highly successful...Ivanka and Melania are 'collateral damage"

Nordstroms a "business" correct?...TheRUMP realizes what the purpose of a business is doesn't he?

Feb 9, 2017 2:31AM PST

that have carried her lines and now have dropped her, and you'll find it's political and not for business reasons....however, it's already backfiring because people are now boycotting those stores. And it all started immediately after the president signed the temporary halt order.

as for the Yemen raid.....there was also 'collateral damage' when OBL was killed and nobody complained about it then, did they? There is ALWAYS collateral damage in every WAR, JP.....

And it all started immediately after the president signed the temporary halt order.

NO...It started when TheRUMP won the election....

All those that voted against TheRUMP, AND those that didn't vote with a pen/pencil...are voting with their wallet.

Which is their right.

YOU only by Made in America Clothing...YOU don't support Ivanka Trump?

Who will the old man go after when Ivanka Trump's foreign manufacturing practices could be her brand's next big headache the old man is the cause of her headache?

In early January, Trump told the New York Times that he’d support a 45% tariff on Chinese exports to the US. A couple weeks later, he also threatened to impose a “very major” border tax on companies that move their production outside of the US.

Both of those initiatives could force Ivanka Trump, and many other clothing brands, to change their practices. According to data compiled for Business Insider by ImportGenius, a company that organizes data from US customs into proprietary databases, Ivanka Trump’s company received 193 shipments in 2016, 202 in 2015, and 233 in 2014.


A tariff on the daughters clothing line?...Not treating his daughter very fairly....It's almost like he was running the country like a business.....like Nordstrom is running a business like a business...

This is just the first "shoe to drop"....

against Ivanka and Melania from the beginning, JP.....with nothing good to say about either one of them. This isn't about a department store....it's about your view of women in general because it's come thru often, especially about Conservative women. If the woman happens to be a liberal, you say nothing at all...good or bad.....and yet liberals are supposedly champions for women (except ones they don't agree with, evidently).

RETrump TALKING about what he COULD do
Feb 11, 2017 10:48AM PST

Trump TALKING about what he COULD do and FACTS

And HE knows what HE COULD do/"get away with" when it comes to sexually assault on women HOW?

Because, HE has DONE it, AND gotten away with it"

Or are you just saying HE IS a braggard AND a liar?

“My father’s comments were clearly inappropriate and offensive, and I’m glad that he acknowledged this fact with an immediate apology to my family and the American people,” Ivanka, 34, said in the statement.

Melania Trump has also been defending her husband in past days, although she too admitted his vulgar words about women in the footage were “unacceptable and offensive.”


HE sent "the Daughter" out to apologize for HIS lies?.....HE was speechless, in denial?

This individual seems to think TheRUMP was telling the truth when HE describes what HE CLAIMS he COULD do...

Ms Zervos appeared on Mr Trump's reality show in 2005 and said when they met two years later to discuss possible employment at his business he greeted her by “kissing me open mouthed as he was pulling me toward him”.

She continued: “He then grabbed my shoulder and began kissing me again very aggressively and placed his hand on my breast”.

“He put me in an embrace and I tried to push him away. I pushed his chest to put space between us and I said come on man, ‘get real’. He repeated my words back to me, ‘get real’, as he began thrusting his genitals,” she claimed.


TheRUMP CLAIMS HE COULD do certain things to women...A woman agrees with him....HE denies it?

WHAT is wrong with this picture?

HE IS a braggard or a liar...UNLESS he's "GUILTY AS CHARGED"..

HE has to be either a braggard/liar or guilty of sexual assault...

HIS "words on the bus" could come back to haunt him...Just as HIS tweets came back to haunt him on the travel ban from those seven countries....
