I don't know if I should laugh or cry. I can totally see Alec Baldwin saying this via tweeting while playing Trump on SNL, but I can also see the Tangerine Terror actually tweeting this while on the gold-plated shitter just outside the Oval Office.

I sometimes think he has his 10 year old (or whatever his age is) son tweet for him.

2017 is the year of the Rooster on the Chinese Lunar Calendar, and it looks like China is having some fun with Trump. They put up this "yuuge" statue of him as a rooster and are selling replicas of it at certain stores. They even got the obnoxious, incredibly annoying hand gesture down. The statue is outside of a shopping center in the Chinese city of Taiyuan.

I am headed to China right after the New Year on business - I plan on bringing some of these back with me.

Wonder what kind of Twitter meltdown this will trigger with Trump...

ETA: This has been reported and confirmed by CNN, The Hill, CBS News, and other reputable news sources, including various international sources.

'Doing my best to disregard the many inflammatory President O statements and roadblocks.Thought it was going to be a smooth transition - NOT!'

I just don't freaking get him. such a child.

Honestly, I really do think he's got the beginnings (or further) of dementia. Not sure why his family would want to expose him to that, but maybe they're just a bunch of power-hungry assholes who want to destroy America.

When I read that, I laughed thinking that Trump likely had to check for the proper spellings of disregard and roadblocks.

This made me think of an episode of The Sopranos where Tony Soprano sends flowers to his therapist, Dr. Melfi, (played by Lorraine Bracco). The card that came with the flowers was signed "Best rigards" or contained the word "rigards" somewhere in the card, spelled that way (or close to it) as Dr. Melfi specifically spelled it out for the other person that was with her at the time. I imagine that Trump would have spelled "disregard" originally as "disrigard."

I'm waiting for CNN to put up their famous countdown clock (to inauguration) then I'll know there's really no way of getting out if this. It's scary.

Thank you!  When I see him ending his tweets with "sad" or "so sad" I think -- and this is a grown ass man?  Our incoming president?  Glad I am not the only one who has noticed this.

Another thing.  This whole Twitter thing.  I am not on Twitter.  I don't even personally know anyone who is on Twitter.  I read his Twitter comments on the news or here.  Does he actually think we ALL have Twitter accounts and that he will be able to communicate with us that way, so he doesn't need to do press conferences?  I can't stand it when his surrogates say that Twitter is the "way to communicate now" and we all have to just get with it.  Twitter has been around for (I think) most or all of Obama's presidency, and I don't see him tweeting nonsense daily.  I am sure the White House has a Twitter account, but undoubtedly it is someone else's job to post daily tweets, NOT the Presidents.

I'm gonna keep repeating this until polls show Trump supporters can accept the FACT that he did not win popular vote, nor did he win an EC "landslide" no matter what he says.

Twitchy.com is a conservative site which uses twitter posts to create stories that are a kind of "who said what on Twitter"  essays.   It's a mistake to use it for a legit source of NEWS. 

That's why I never open those links. I see posts with anywhere from two to a dozen or so links like that, and I'm impressed that people actually spend so much of their time looking for and posting  them, but I personally don't have the time to waste reading them.

I think we should be careful to not insult high school cheerleaders. My eight year old nephew has a richer vocabulary and more coherent worldview than Orange. A high school cheerleader could easily defeat the incoming President in games of Scrabble, Trivial Pursuit, and checkers.

Most everyone in my office is Chinese-American, so I just asked one of my friends to see if anyone in her family who lives in China can get me one of those chickens.  I'm stoked.  Now every time he started crowing about something, I can just pat his little head and tell him to calm down, or I'll throw him to the foxes.  LOL

This is exactly why I plan on bringing back quite a few with me on my next trip to China right after the New Year. I have many friends who want to do similar things - I wonder if the manufacturer or some other company will even make a version of it that is one of those stress squeeze type toys - especially the kind where you squeeze it and it makes its eyes bug out. I go to China about 6 times a year, so if I don't bring enough back this time around, hopefully I can get more on my next trip. ;-)

Dementia involves a decline in cognitive functioning. I do think he shows signs, but I am not familiar enough with his previous level of functioning.   Constrained by the limits of Twitter, a lot of people have trouble being clear.  But Trump is a lot worse, as far as making it clear what he is referring to in his tweets. Like sometimes he seems to be replying to anews story, but without referencing the story, his meaning is unclear.

Using Twitter to post policy statements is the social media equivalent of ringing a doorbell and running away. Especially since he never seems to respond to anybody who replies to his tweets. 

And when he is called on his lying tweets, his surrogates go with the "a big boy did it and ran away" excuse. Or say that what he really meant was to knock on a window instead.

Maybe all that sunbed use is affecting his brain. I wonder is it just sheer vanity that has him going so orange or is there a medical reason he seems to overindulge.

My brother (a huge Trump fan) has taken to texting with the same use of one word interjections as some bizarre form of punctuation, too.  He'll end texts with "Sad." "Terrible." or "Wrong."  I've pointed it out to him a few times, saying that it's hard to take him seriously when he does it, but it continues on.

I just went through my mental Rolodex, trying to figure out if I know anyone who I can hit up to get me one, and, sadly, I do not.  I'm going to have to hit eBay every now and then and see if any are out there.

I just checked Amazon to see if they were there, but I think it's too early as they just came out. However, I'm sure they will get them eventually and, while I was searching, I came across a lovely baseball cap that had a cartoon of Trump and Putin locked in a rather steamy embrace kissing - it is available in multiple colors and is far cheaper than Trump's Make America Crap... er... Great Again hat.

When I go to China in a little over a week, I'll buy as many of the Rooster statue replicas as I can and I plan on sending them to a lot my friends who are democratic, independent and republican, but completely anti-Trump (regardless of political affiliation) in a number of states (including "red" states) and I know they will display them proudly.

I should add, there are different kinds of dementia with different symptons - in my case I'm just going by personal experience. The severely limited vocabulary, the hand gestures, the weird and inappropriate angry outbursts ("such a nasty woman," imagine anyone else saying that in a presidential debate, it's unthinkable), the sort of lurching he was doing during the debates, and of course his problem with remembering what he said. (Although that could just be the usual problem liars have - that they can't remember what they lied about.) If he starts forgetting the names of common things, that'll be the clincher for me.

I'm not on Twitter either, nor do I have any friends who are.

I think the "everyone is on Twitter" myth is a conceit promoted by the media to justify their insipid coverage of Twitter.  Twitter is doubling as a newsfeed in newsrooms now.  Instead of waiting for real news to come in over the Associated Press or Bloomberg or whatever, they just scan Twitter looking for shit to write about.   Which celebrity said something outrageous, which politician put his foot in his mouth, etc.   Twitter is great fodder to fuel the 24-hour news beast.

But when you get down to it, there are only three groups of people who need Twitter: 1) celebrities, politicians and owners of businesses who feel Twitter, like Facebook, is a mandatory tool to promote their brands; 2) fans and supporters who delude themselves into thinking Twitter gives them the insider access to said celebrity/politician/etc., (who probably doesn't care whether they live or die); and 3) news writers starving for something sensational to get them through the next cycle.

There's also his habit of distracting himself mid-sentence/thought to wander off to something completely different.  It's like one word in what he's in the middle of saying makes him think of something else, and he just wanders in to a completely different conversation.  Sometimes he finds his way back to the original idea, sometimes it's gone for good unless someone tries to redirect him to the topic at hand.  And then there's his complete lack of impulse control.  He reminds me so much of my grandfather in his last 5 or so years.  No thought entered his head that didn't spill right out of his mouth.  And many of those thoughts were racist, sexist, etc.  He treated women horribly (well he did for most of his life, but he reached a different degree when the dementia set in).  He was demanding and petulant, and you could not tell him anything - he knew best about everything.  My Mom and I have said more than once that Grandpa would have loved Trump.  And that is not a compliment to either man.

He used words, but he said nothing. The question went unanswered, but he probably thinks he was brilliant.

Trump's thinking has been tangential throughout the campaign.  I remember a speech to coal miners that was especially weird.  He posed for a photo wearing a coal miner helmet, then said his hair would be messed up, then talked about hairspray  and how the hairspray today doesn't hold as well as the stuff they used to make. Then he railed about the ridiculous notion that spraying hairspray in your house, with the windows closed, would damage the environment and cause global warming.  I remember it clearly, because at that point I thought, the idiot is talking to coal miners about hairspray!! He doesn't have a chance in hell to win. But they cheered him on.  That was my WTF moment.

Ronald Reagan had Nancy to hide his Alzheimer's dementia for years before his term as President ended. It would be to the benefit of the entire Trump family to hide and cover up for any dementia that Donald Trump may encounter during his term. The first thing they'll have to do is take away his phone or change the password on his Twitter and Facebook account so he can't spill the beans on confidential and classified government information.

I think the most telling sign of his lack of intelligence is addressing reporters outside the front door of Mar-A-Lago with Don King standing next to him grinning like a mental institution patient that just escaped. Don King, (who served jail time for killing a man), was dressed in an outfit that you'd expect to see a hawker of trinkets that's waiting for dumb tourists to walk off their cruise ship and into a local bazaar of stands selling worthless stuff with palm trees and sea shells decorating them. To make it even worse, Don King was holding a bunch of flags from different countries and waved them a little as he smiled for photographers. I saw the flag of the US, Israel and Mexico among the bunch of waving flags. Now if that's not totally unconventional,, odd, eccentric and just plain STOOOPID then nothing is.

I had a theory early in the campaign that people were so crazy about him because they were just so damn weary of politicians and their canned speeches. And this made sense to me because who wouldn't be tired of politicians - they're like robots who can only respond the way they're programmed to respond, so if the question is "what would you do about the inner city schools" they just search their database and choose whatever talking point comes closest to the topic, like "I believe that everyone should be educated and I'll be the Education Mayor." It's boring and maddening and it feels pointless to even listen to their interviews - so I truly did get why he was popular.

But as time went by and he got nuttier and nuttier I thought ok, even if you're tired of the same-old same-old and his lunacy is vastly entertaining, even so, when it's time to vote you've got to admit the guy is crazy and choose someone else. Right? Right? (Just because you're tired of tuna sandwiches for lunch, doesn't mean you're going eat a bowl of glass shards.) But that didn't happen, and that's the part I'll never get. And now we're going to be stuck with someone who says things like this:

I can't quit him! I thought it would be painful to be reminded of Trump's day, but Lawrence is so full of contempt for him--while not actually being insulting--that its a thing of beauty.  I think Trump himself could watch a lot of it and say, "I had a helluva good job today, didn't I?"   I really liked his guests, too--especially the woman speaking about Israel, depressing though it was.  She called it what it is--apartheid--and ITA that from the beginning Netanyahu wanted only a "one state solution".  I agree with her that--like apartheid and Jim Crow--it will never be permanent.

(And a favorite I still hear, "He's a businessman who gets things done.")

As for today's quote, the most bizarre part of it isn't how he rambles. It's that the question was about the senate plans to crack down on Russian hacking.  He doesn't even riff on hacking--he just rambles off about computers (confirming what we've been told--that he doesn't use one and knows nothing about technology, the cyber.)

I just logged on to this page to catch up on things. When I saw this tweet,

'Doing my best to disregard the many inflammatory President O statements and roadblocks.Thought it was going to be a smooth transition - NOT!'

I thought it was a fake mocking tweet someone created to be funny, not that it was an actual tweet he had created and posted!

I'm still so, so, so damned angry and disgusted by everything he is, everything he stands for, and everything he has ever stood for (I'm aware that he's never actually stood for or cared about anything, other than himself and his pocketbook). He's the worst parts of America personified.

I've noticed that lately he's been responding to questions asking where he stands on any given issue with, "You know where I stand".  I've realized that this is probably what his handlers have told him to say because he can't remember what his stance is supposed to be and they can't manage the contradictions any more.

First of all, please forgive me and excuse my lack of acknowledgements and Likes to the very many posts here with which I agree.

I am exhausted and forlorn. DT is like the drunk uncle or PITA office bigot you can't escape.

Donald Trump is insane.  He's not a diplomat or a statesman or a reasonable person.

Then, when we have a foreign leader, a Netanyahu, who plays the game of stroking and pandering, to endear himself to an unstable authority figure?  Well, to me it gets frightening.

President Obama is anti-Semitic and an enemy of the Israeli state?  Okay.  And I have two heads, three feet, two noses and one eye.  Smack in the middle of my forehead.  Come on Mr President- Elect Trump!  Please grow up, please recognize your place in the world. Please.

I honestly think that Mr Trump is a bottomless pit of need and want.  He needs love and petting.  I hereby am willing to sacrifice my life to stroking and petting him.  I'm 5'10"  swedish-American, naturally platinum and blue eyes, stereotypical "attractive" woman he seems to like..  Age 33 (3 years older than his "perfect" 30).  I'm smart, but can pretend I'm not.  I could pull it off, keep him happy.  Occupied.

Up to this point I've been dismayed, astounded, bewildered, shocked and surprised, all in that order, with Donald Trump being elected as our President. But today, I invited a neighbor to lunch and she told me she voted for Trump "even though she didn't want to", her daughters voted Trump, her son jumped up and down for joy when Trump won because he voted for Trump too. Up to this point I didn't feel so disgusted as I did hearing that because I've known these people for many years, since those children of hers were little kids. "What the hell happened" was my first thought.

Tonight after seeing Trump with Don King and hearing Netanyahu disrespect, disparage and verbally destroy our sitting President, I'm over the fear and dread and I want something horrible to happen. It seems to be inevitable sooner or later and now I'm hoping it happens sooner than later. I want all of them to pay for their stupidity, I want all of them to suffer whatever it is we're all going to suffer. And I don't even care. I don't care that it's me going down the drain, I don't care about anyone.  I'm prepared for that drain, they aren't. I anticipate it, they aren't. I want to see their gloating and celebrations end with a thud. This whole election has made me into someone I never was and I hate that it has done that. I hate that one man has managed to do that single-handed.

I've noticed that lately he's been responding to questions asking where he stands on any given issue with, "You know where I stand".  I've realized that this is probably what his handlers have told him to say because he can't remember what his stance is supposed to be and they can't manage the contradictions any more. 

Well, I just hope the media and others nip this in the bud by responding: "No, I/we don't know where you stand today on this issue.  So, where DO you stand?" He'll probably never hold a press conference because he's afraid of the questions...he knows he can't handle them.  The foreign correspondents will have a field day with him.
