There's a visual and sound bite I will never be able to get out of my head.
Why am I sick to my stomach?
Trumpese for "I'm rubber and you're glue..."
An AP analysis of sales data from brokerage CityRealty shows prices per square foot have fallen in nine of the 11 Trump-branded buildings in Manhattan in the first 10 months this year after dropping last year, too. Since Mr Trump has taken office, prices have fallen nine per cent on average and are now down to levels not seen in five years. In that time, Manhattan condos overall have risen 29 per cent.
CityRealty consultant Zach Gutierrez says Trump buildings are suffering partly because they look dated next to all the new luxury buildings that have gone up in recent years. But he adds that it does not help that some apartment hunters won’t even consider a Trump building now.
Eric Trump has been similarly positive about his father’s 17 golf resorts around the world, claiming earlier this year that the clubs are doing “spectacularly.” Yet the few public numbers available suggest otherwise. Financial reports released by the British and Irish governments in October show two Scottish resorts and one in Ireland lost millions last year, the fourth year of losses in a row.
Revenue at his public course in the Bronx, New York fell nine per cent in the first six months of this year, on top of a seven per cent drop last year. Revenue from his Doral golf resort in Miami, which generates the bulk of the Trump empire’s golf revenue, is estimated by Forbes magazine to have plunged 26 per cent last year.
Of course, just a tiny bit of work - or reading - on his part would show him they're not secretly doing anything other than informing him that the Presidency is not an Emperorship. But, dumb, lazy people who are already certain they know everything...For two years, Mr. Trump has waged war against his own government, convinced that people around him are fools. Angry that they resist his wishes, uninterested in the details of their briefings, he becomes especially agitated when they tell him he does not have the power to do what he wants, which makes him suspicious that they are secretly undermining him.
Trump, Angry Over Mattis’s Rebuke, Removes Him 2 Months EarlyAides said that the president was furious that Mr. Mattis’s resignation letter — in which he rebuked the president’s rejection of international allies and his failure to check authoritarian governments — had led to days of negative news coverage. Mr. Mattis resigned in large part over Mr. Trump’s hasty decision to withdraw American forces from Syria.
When Mr. Trump first announced that Mr. Mattis was leaving, effective Feb. 28, he praised the defense secretary on Twitter, saying he was retiring “with distinction.” One aide said that although Mr. Trump had already seen the resignation letter when he praised Mr. Mattis, the president did not understand just how forceful a rejection of his strategy Mr. Mattis had issued.
Even when he has the power to do something he has yet to grasp that it is not always a good idea. For example, the market was not doing well so he asked around if he could fire the fed chairman. In probably the most obvious 'what comes next' thing ever stocks went even more down once that news broke.For Trump, ‘a War Every Day,’ Waged Increasingly Alone

They say he's so unpredictable, but this proves that he really is predictable - such a fragile ego that any perceived affront to his intelligence or abilities invokes irrational rage in the man. The scary part now is that, with most all his staff and family on holiday, he's alone in the WH to do something really destructive. If he starts a war, it might be the first war in human history begun because the leader didn't have anybody around to kiss his boo boos.According to the NYT, Individual 1 didn't realise that General Mattis' letter of resignation was critical of him until he saw the TV coverage:
If you can't go out laughing, then it wasn't worth it.This is all hilarious really. Until you remember that this bozo is in the position of the "leader of the free world". *laughing, crying, frantic* emoticons.
The Trump mal-Administration is now at the 2:15 point in this video:
Why am I sick to my stomach?
That's because he didn't actually read the letter. Some aide probably brought it in and told him it was a resignation letter, then he tore it up and threw it in the trash like he does with all the other documents he gets.According to the NYT, Individual 1 didn't realise that General Mattis' letter of resignation was critical of him until he saw the TV coverage:
I just read a bunch of responses the only supportive one was from what I'm assuming is a Russian bot posing as a beautiful black woman.
He is so clueless, he doesn't even know what he doesn't know!
Try again donnie.

Yeah, the bots and the blatant sycophants seem to have largely vanished from Twitter after the mid-terms.I just read a bunch of responses the only supportive one was from what I'm assuming is a Russian bot posing as a beautiful black woman.
aka "the Kurds are really fucked this time".
This will not go well.
