I guess so. Do presidents in waiting retweet them? I'd think it's hard to find a fake account with a penchant for misspelling which also praises Donald's speachifying but I guess it happens.

People who don't know how to spell are sensitive.  Betcha sara_wejesa deleted the account after everyone ridiculed her.

You don't remember learning about Lincoln retweeting misspelled accolades from accounts such as douglas_is_a_#### and leavemyslavesalone1858?

Since Lincoln had giant hands (larger than Otis's banana paws), he would have made some typos if he tweeted.

I'm sure that's exactly what happened. A few months ago it seemed like he could do no wrong, now even Twitter is betraying him. SAD!

When Donald Trump began his campaign last year, Eminence was the only one in this forum supporting him. Then as Trump started winning, more and more Trump supporters appeared out of the woodwork. Now his support seems to be waning again, and once again his strongest advocate here is Eminence. 

It's a like a year long episode of Flowers for Algernon.

Want me to shoot some heat as you being a minority and voting Democrat?

Step off me and don't talk to me again, you're an awful person for talking ####. I don't care about you.

You don't want problems, man.

One morning in late summer 1995, I entered the White House to assume my post just outside the Oval Office officially Secret Service Post E-6. Things were stirring, and I wanted to know why.

Everyone on post that night, Secret Service agents (SAs), Secret Service Uniformed Division (UD) officers like myself, the houseman, and the ushers couldn’t help but hear the First Couple arguing as sounds from their fracases traveled through the old building. Mrs. Clinton had a booming voice, and their yelling matches easily traversed the living quarters’ private elevator, vents, and staircase. Many housemen eased away, but the SAs and UD couldn’t leave their posts. This was especially a big argument that ended with a crash. SAs were obligated to respond and found its cause, a vase on the other side of the room. A houseman picked up the damage. The First Couple couldn’t just sweep up and toss out the remains because everything in the White House is logged and recorded, befitting its role as a national landmark and a veritable museum.

I peeked into the curator’s small, windowless ground-floor office across from the China Room and the Diplomatic Reception Room. It was cluttered with blueprints and history books on the every detail of the White House: fabrics, furniture, artifacts. Sure enough, there was a box containing a light blue vase smashed to bits. The rumors were true!

“Can I help you?”

The White House’s official curator looked up from what she was reading, clearly annoyed and already tired of people checking out the box. “Can I help you, Officer?” she said again.

“No thanks,” I said.

The president entered around nine. His arrival times fluctuated. I couldn’t believe my eyes: a black eye! I was well accustomed to his allergy-prone, puffy eyes. But this was a shiner, a real, live, put-a-steak-on-it black eye. I was shocked. Minutes later, I popped into the office of Betty Currie, the president’s personal secretary. Nancy Hernreich, his personal scheduler, was already there.

“What’s the black mark on the president’s face?” I asked.

I felt real tension.

“Oh, uh, he’s allergic to coffee,” said Nancy, turning toward her office.

“An allergy to coffee shows in just one eye?”

Betty smiled. She burrowed down into her work, chuckling, but looking busy. As I departed, I added, “I’m also allergic to the back of someone’s hand.”

 
In Renovation of Golf Club, Donald Trump Also Dressed Up History


TERLING, Va. — When Donald J. Trump bought a fixer-upper golf club on Lowes Island here for $13 million in 2009, he poured millions more into reconfiguring its two courses. He angered conservationists by chopping down more than 400 trees to open up views of the Potomac River. And he shocked no one by renaming the club after himself.

But that wasn’t enough. Mr. Trump also upgraded its place in history.

Between the 14th hole and the 15th tee of one of the club’s two courses, Mr. Trump installed a flagpole on a stone pedestal overlooking the Potomac, to which he affixed a plaque purportedly designating “The River of Blood.”

“Many great American soldiers, both of the North and South, died at this spot,” the inscription reads. “The casualties were so great that the water would turn red and thus became known as ‘The River of Blood.’ ”

The inscription, beneath his family crest and above Mr. Trump’s full name, concludes: “It is my great honor to have preserved this important section of the Potomac River!”

Like many of Mr. Trump’s claims, the inscription was evidently not fact-checked.

“No. Uh-uh. No way. Nothing like that ever happened there,” said Richard Gillespie, the executive director of the Mosby Heritage Area Association, a historical preservation and education group devoted to an 1,800-square-mile section of the Northern Virginia Piedmont, including the Lowes Island site.

“The only thing that was remotely close to that,” Mr. Gillespie said, was 11 miles up the river at the Battle of Ball’s Bluff in 1861, a rout of Union forces in which several hundred were killed. “The River of Blood?” he added. “Nope, not there.”

Mr. Gillespie’s contradiction of the plaque’s account was seconded by Alana Blumenthal, the curator of the Loudoun Museum in nearby Leesburg. (A third local expert, who said he had written to Mr. Trump’s company about the inscription’s falsehoods and offered to provide historically valid replacement text, insisted on anonymity because he did not want to cross the Trump Organization by disclosing a private exchange.)

In a phone interview, Mr. Trump called himself a “a big history fan” but deflected, played down and then simply disputed the local historians’ assertions of historical fact.

“That was a prime site for river crossings,” Mr. Trump said. “So, if people are crossing the river, and you happen to be in a civil war, I would say that people were shot — a lot of them.”

The club does indeed lie a stone’s throw from Rowser’s Ford, where, as an official historical marker notes, Gen. J. E. B. Stuart led 5,000 Confederate troops including cavalry across the Potomac en route to the Battle of Gettysburg.

ut no one died in that crossing, historians said, or in any other notable Civil War engagement on the spot.

“How would they know that?” Mr. Trump asked when told that local historians had called his plaque a fiction. “Were they there?”

Mr. Trump repeatedly said that “numerous historians” had told him that the golf club site was known as the River of Blood. But he said he did not remember their names.

Then he said the historians had spoken not to him but to “my people.” But he refused to identify any underlings who might still possess the historians’ names.

“Write your story the way you want to write it,” Mr. Trump said finally, when pressed unsuccessfully for anything that could corroborate his claim. “You don’t have to talk to anybody. It doesn’t make any difference. But many people were shot. It makes sense.”

I've asked you multiple times not to talk to me. You keep hurling insults.

I don't care about you, don't mention my name ever again. You're being as big of an Internet loser as someone with 100,000 posts could be.

Seriously dude, would you want me going into your lame Hilary thread and insult you?

But you're so much nicer and smarter than me. What do I know?

Well you see the thing is you have a long history of making bigoted, ignorant, and racist remarks. And unfortunately these comprise about 80% of your posts. So every once in a while I feel the need to respond to them. 

I'm glad you don't care about me, but if so there must be some other reason you feel the need to whine like a seven year old girl any time I point out the sheer idiocy of your commentary. You really should consider it constructive criticism!

Who doesn't insult you?

Hey look a Trump thread where everyone that is posting is a leftie.

Why aren't you all in the Clinton thread praising her?  Oh wait, is it because you are just as embarrassed she is your party's nominee?

:lmao:

Yeah, those damn lefties like Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, Lindsay Graham, and Mark Kirk really needs to stop their liberal nonsense and get on board the Trump train.

Many of Trump's "policy" positions, at least as far as they can be extracted from the inconsistent and incoherent nonsense that he vomits out, are actually left of Hillary, guy. That's not what this is about. At all. It's about putting someone who won't lob nukes into Syria or give them to the Saudis in the White House. Or someone who doesn't think that threatening default on our national debt is a viable option. Or someone who won't respond with military force when a random foreign leader says something negative on social media.

Sorry that you don't seem to get that. Hope the reality stick doesn't hurt too much when it hits you in November.

Every administration in modern times has authorized the sale of weapons to Saudi Arabia, partly as a means to keep our aerospace companies afloat and employing lots of workers. Is this something that is bad all of a sudden?

Sure, he's been a thin-skinned unpredictable egomaniac for his entire life, but I'm sure he'll mature and act responsibly once he's the most powerful person on earth.

Best/worst part of this joke is that this is actually the argument the GOP is trying to make in his defense.

They don't support him. Most of them have spent the week blasting him actually. You won't catch any of them really defending or campaigning for him, outside of dudes like Christie who really don't have any other viable options. Yeah, we'll see more of the lukewarm, half-assed "I'll support the candidate" nonsense so as not to completely alienate the birther / science denial / stupid part of the base that actually believes in him, but the party itself despises Trump. The GOP leadership is certainly waaaaaaay more horrified with his nomination than anyone else.

 
Trump meeting with wealthy Republican donors today to raise money. 

If you were one of these guys why would you give him your money? His path to electoral victory is narrow. Plus the racist comments create a stain.

Some people need 6 or 7 decades of life to really mature and grow.  I'm sure it'll be fine.  :unsure:

 
I know there is a lot of BS that goes on when you are wealthy and own businesses. But is it normal for someone in his position to be sued this much?

Not very many people go around selling their name to all sorts of different businesses like Trump has done- it's pretty unusual. Apparently he's sold his brand to some unsavory people throughout the years- now he has to pay the consequences.
