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.

There is now a 60% chance of Trump being impeached now he's sacked Comey.

whitewave Fri 12-May-17 18:19:49

See Trump is threatening Comey in case the Ex -FBI bod begins talking. He should have thought of that before.

whitewave Fri 12-May-17 18:21:15

Trump is beginning to be the dimmest ever!!

durhamjen Fri 12-May-17 19:37:55

Fancy actually telling Comey that he'd better not say anything because trump's got the tapes.
Comey just needs to say go on then, tell everyone.
Comey's lost his job anyway, so it doesn't matter.
Whatever comes out Comey will be doing it in the public interest.

What happened to the American grans?

durhamjen Fri 12-May-17 21:15:34

I wondered about that, whitewave. I wonder if trump's had anything to do with it - America first, and all that.

Something else trump wishes he'd never said.

They must be able to impeach him here.

He must be breaking just about every constitutional law.

Michelle Obama free to say what she thinks - and it's important.

If Trump is innocent of all charges, why doesn't he help to expedite the investigation in order to get it out of the way.

The checks and balances are under severe attack from Trump. Is he acting illegally in what he is doing and why isn't he being impeached?

Trump apparently insisted on a loyalty pledge to himself from the FBI leadership. This has got to be so wrong.

Anyone like to join in?

"...are going to resign."

durhamjen Sun 14-May-17 14:41:35

I think trump should do Sean Spicer a favour and sack him.

The Republicans are, largely putting Party above country at the moment.

durhamjen Sun 14-May-17 15:44:52

Who does that remind you of? - Except that Maybot is putting herself above party as well.

durhamjen Mon 15-May-17 18:34:24

Another tweet that trump wishes he hadn't made.

Personally I think that trump thinks he can say anything and then wriggle round it!

durhamjen Mon 15-May-17 19:25:26

I agree with you there, AlieOxon.
I do hope he has to hand over the tapes he says he has to try and blackmail Comey.

White house confusion..I was oindering from the news what the Wash.Post did say

AlieOxon Wed 17-May-17 06:57:17

Wondering!!

durhamjen Wed 17-May-17 07:52:32

Sean Spicer is probably hoping that Trump will sack him, so he doesn't have to look even more incompetent.
A bit like our very own Jeremy Hunt.

whitewave Wed 17-May-17 13:43:58

Every day another panic.

I think it looking more and more that Trump is compromised in regard to Russia.

So the questions are beginning to stack up.

Someone on CNN suggested that someone may have died as a result of Trump activities and the resultant security risk.
He was asked twice and he answered in the afirmative.

whitewave Wed 17-May-17 13:57:39

Trump asked the FBI chief to drop the Russian investigation. The FBI chief, refused. Trump sacked the FBI chief.

whitewave Wed 17-May-17 14:06:42

So obstruction of justice? Time for Trump to release the "tapes" of the conversations in the Oval Office.

Impeachment? The jury is out on this.

whitewave Wed 17-May-17 14:15:28

More memos to come apparently.

whitewave Wed 17-May-17 18:17:11

Comey is to testify, which he was hoping would happen. The screw is turning!!

whitewave Wed 17-May-17 19:58:35

The G7 have been asked to keep their comments between 3 and 5 minutes long as Trump will get "testy" if they go over that time.

I had no idea that his concentration levels were so longgrin

Well clearly the G7 will go well.
