Related: Trump has sidelined the State Department in favor of wild flailing. It's been reported that Tellerson didn't know a one-state solution was being discussed until he saw the news conference where Trump announced he was open to it. White House aides said that was because Jared Kushner is taking the lead on

Some are reporting that Petraus essentially turned the job down because Trump refuses to remove Bannon from the NSC. That was a deal breaker for Harward, at least.The full implication is horrifying

If Democrats get a majority in the House and Senate, I wouldn't rule it out. If Trump is so unpopular the GOP sees him as a liability, enough may cross over.

Trump still profiting from Mar-a-Largo, or any of his businesses, is sketchy as hell.

Definitely hacking, possibly industrial level online trolling.

Yes, he declared his 2020 candidacy the day he was inaugurated. It was kind of lost in the shuffle, but expect some major campaign law fuckery.

Judged on his own merits, he's a failure. If he's being compared to somebody else, he can say "Hey, they're awful too!" and minimize his own flaws.

Officially, he's campaigning for 2020.

The pointlessness is baffling. If he was trying to raise support for some legislation or something, I'd get it, but, he has no interest in any sort of policy. He's just getting a crowd together so he can rant like a lunatic.

I think most Trump supporters—not party line Republicans, which is a different issue, but the ones excited about Trump from the moment he called Mexicans racist—simply don't pay attention. There are things they are against and as long Trump attacks those things, they'll stand by him. I think that's the heart of his

Sooner or later, there's going to be a crisis point, where it's Trump or US democracy. A Constitutional crises is inevitable.

You know how "may you live in interesting times" is an alleged Chinese curse? These are very interesting times.

Oh shit what

I've only read some transcripts, and it's rambling bullshit. I can't imagine it sounds worse spoken. Then again, "I can't imagine it gets worse" hasn't proven true yet for Trump.

Is he against it or for it?

One thing this press conference made clear, if it wasn't obvious already, Trump is a very dumb person who somehow thinks we're all dumber than he is.

I imagine this was how people felt about "You won't have Nixon to kick around anymore" except that was in response to Nixon losing an election.

So, this Florida rally is going to be fucked up, right?

But he's the least anti-Semitic person you've ever met. And number two, racism.

He's negotiated like, one thing for the government! And there hasn't been a final cost estimate on it!
