Apologies if there is a new Trump thread, but the only one I could find had hit the magic 1000 posts mark.
Just seen this on Facebook. Makes excellent sense.

Anyone want one of these?

trump junior waers a green one saying very fake news, apparently. Could be fake news.

Who cares what Trump junior 'waers'

That must be a first: a Guardian journalist writing a piece praising how good we are at something.

As a Guardian reader of long standing, I agree, petra!

The Russian thing and Flynn still hasnt gone away apparently the Pentagon has got involved now.

I love this title. Shows how superficial and dangerous trump is.

A bit rude in places. Good, though.

Trump has been test-firing missiles in the US. Japan is now trying to get its army together, and North Korea has said that the nuclear fallout will harm Japan before anywhere else. It's becoming very worrying, but seems to have been forgotten about in Europe and the UK.

For the Americans on here.
Trump praised the Australian healthcare system, not realising it was the same as Obamacare.

Don't look at this if you like trump.

Not just about the trump presidency, but about what he thinks about climate change.

I am looking forward to seeing this - I think.

Interesting stuff going on in USA. Not sure Trump has been very clever as Comey will now be outside of the tent p----g in.

whitewave Wed 10-May-17 19:30:34

So is this a Nixon moment?

Is the explanation -Russia?

whitewave Wed 10-May-17 19:33:46

This is the third person to be fired that were investigating the Trump team.

I like the picture of trump looking down his nose at Comey. That would be very difficult for him, as Comey is 6'8".
Sorry to be childish about this.

Jalima1108 Thu 11-May-17 16:15:53

grin
funny though

TriciaF Thu 11-May-17 16:44:05

Did you see Trump giving him a 'kiss'? Husband said, "that's the Mafia."

durhamjen Thu 11-May-17 17:17:48

Or the clan?

This is brilliant. Nixon library has had to say that Nixon never fired the head of the FBI.

He can't carry on much longer, I wouldn't have thought.
