(4,243 posts)About a whole bunch of things?
Doubtful.
usonian
(20,987 posts)His whole life is a lie. He views his opponents' statements, and all facts not profitable to him as lies.
Everyone around him is a liar. And anyone who trusts him is thrown under the bus in a matter of Scaramucci's.
Which liar does he listen to, when one liar calls an other a liar?
I say, unpredictable, when the profitable side is unclear.
To him, the only truth is money.

Back the last time the bastard was President.
They know how stupid he is.

B.See
(6,810 posts)full of SHIT. He knew what he was saying and knew what he was doing.
All of these moves and pronouncements of his are deliberately designed to
1. create chaos,
2. cause diversion from a lot of nefarious... STUFF.. he's pulling and is GUILTY of,
3. Test the waters to see how far he can go and how much he can GET AWAY WITH.
That playing innocent crap won't fly with me.

(42,645 posts)How about an actual fact-finding mission? Im sure they can fly that big plane right in Portland airport.
anytime any president comes to Portland is shuts down the whole city and it sucks.
Just take our word for it. Portland has issues but not we need the national guard issues...go away

(3,097 posts)they will tie up traffic everywhere and we already have horrible traffic. My wife works near the Ice office and it's a joke.
More people will come out just to piss the orange one off and it would be better for everyone if he just stayed away
I don't think the Orange man has ever been here and I personally hope he never comes here....

AZJonnie
(1,675 posts)Especially when "the voices" consist entirely of "you are the greatest, most popular POTUS of all-time, in fact your life entirely consists of Trump doing the greatest things that have ever been done by anyone, and anyone who disagrees with anything you say, do, or even think, is a lying, irrelevant pissant of a subhuman being".

Torchlight
(5,767 posts)a street mural was mistaken for a barricade, and a line outside a food truck registered as troop movements. And so the nation learns that national policy can be undone not by spies or satellites, but by whatever happened to autoplay on the hotel TV the day before.
Or (and I think this more likely), Mr. trump lied again.
