People are dead because of him, 90+ ISIS Fighters to be precise when he dropped the Mother of all bombs on them not too long ago.

People whinging because he shared some ISIS Intel with the Russians, if it saves lives that is a bloody good thing.

What was it Obama was heard saying to former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, prior to Obama's 2nd Election win?

"I will have more flexibility after Election.'

Obama was talking about more flexibility on missile defence. Now WTF was he discussing military issues with the Russians? He was not aware his Mic had picked up what he said.

Did not see the bloody saddo liberal press make a real song and dance about this back then.

Quote:
President Trump asked the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, to shut down the federal investigation into Mr. Trump’s former national security adviser, Michael T. Flynn, in an Oval Office meeting in February, according to a memo that Mr. Comey wrote shortly after the meeting.

“I hope you can let this go,” the president told Mr. Comey, according to the memo.

The existence of Mr. Trump’s request is the clearest evidence that the president has tried to directly influence the Justice Department and F.B.I. investigation into links between Mr. Trump’s associates and Russia.

Also Israel appears to be the source of the intelligence Trump shared with the Russians. http://www.jpost.com/Israel-News/Pol...ussians-490933

Andrew McCabe ain't no fan of Trump, so him saying this, rubbishes this apparent so called memo.

All these officials with apparent ties to the press..... Too convenient.

The Dunning-Kruger effect and the knowledge illusion aren’t disorders, but are part and parcel of being human. Some people, however, are much more subject to these than others. And Trump seems to occupy an extreme end of the spectrum.

Is there any hope for Trump? His experience as president may make him more aware of how little he knows, said Sloman. Trump recently told reporters, for example, that “Nobody knew health care was so complicated.” He couldn’t quite bring himself to admit being wrong without sharing the blame with the rest of the world -– but perhaps it’s a start.
As Hugh says, it explains so much ..

I did not find it stinging, at all. I found it totally inaccurate and far fetched.

Many who voted for him don't like him. But the important thing is his policies. Which ones do you disagree with? (I suspect any UK resident would disagree with any US healthcare policy)

I disagreed with his inaction in Vietnam and more so his criticism of a genuine hero like john mccains service record when he did nothing

Well we don't know yet. It appears this is just one of the documents Corney has according to the article and maybe he is waiting until congress calls him to justify to release more and enter testimony to the record.

The (Republican) head of the House Oversight Committee has already requested the memo and any other documents to investigate it. There may be nothing there but that's probably going to be decided by congress.

At this rate Trump is more likely to get in serious trouble over how he is acting over this investigation than anything the investigation, left to it's own devices, might find. It's often said that it's the cover-up that kills you but it's something else if that cover-up is of something that was never a problem in the first place.

Trump would do better to say 'there is nothing there, you go ahead with the investigation to confirm it' rather than acting up. If you're worried about partisan interference from congress than appoint a Special Prosecutor or an Independent bi-partisan commission. At the moment, even if there is nothing there at all, he isn't helping himself.

Re: U.S President: Donald Trump

Thing is, it's a scandal a day, so much so that it just becomes "noise".

I honestly just switch off now whenever I hear Trumps name, I'm past caring and I would suspect most of the population of the US feel the same.

The constant scandal isn't good for the White House though

It's all very well to say that. The constant stream of inappropriate tweets, comments and worrying gaffs cannot be ignored. The sooner this Frank Spencer of a president is impeached, the safer we will all be, and maybe we can sleep more soundly at night.
