I turned on CNN about 10 minutes, and it is playing Trump ranting on and on....

[riversedge]

I probably missed the big conference but is cnn or msnbc actually showing any of the Dems and their concerns or questions. ??

[spanone]

1. Not a word about federal employees out of work it's all about don trump..fuck this guy

the dems haven't met with him yet....this was all an ass kissing from his cabinet

[jcgoldie]

10. of course

That's everything he says ever is all about him. When he says he's doing something for America it almost makes you chuckle like a bad joke that everyone already knows because its obvious he's never had a thought about anything but Donald Trump.

[KCDebbie]

2. I'm watching the Orange asswipe on MSNBC...

They're just letting him ramble on as well...

I'm going to watch Star Trek: Next Generation on the BBC!

ETA: Oh, CRAP! It's an episode with Data's evil brother Lore! I'd rather watch Trump ramble than watch Lore!

[Lochloosa]

22. I had issues with Lore also.

[Achilleaze]

27. "Heh, heh." - Lore (R)

[Proud Liberal Dem]

36. Lore is WORSE than Trump?

[Takket]

39. Lore isn't THAT bad lol

[Bleacher Creature]

3. The whole damn thing is one big temper tantrum.

[riversedge]

8. sure seems that way. His fans will be pleased tha the gets so much free air time.

[riversedge]

4. Trump was saying Yes, he has spent the border money appropriated but not paid the bill--will wait

till contractors have finished and then check to see how well they did the job.

ummm.... If this is true--not saying it is, it sounds like his business model--not paying the contractors or taking them to court if he is not pleased. just saying.

Btw--5 minutes later--and he is still ranting. now about Mattis

[CatWoman]

9. he just said he would make a damned fine general

Captain Crunch must be so jealous

[riversedge]

12. gowd. I missed that one. ha ha

[spanone]

11. we're getting don trump's vision of the world and he basically says it's all 'pay for play'

he doesn't speak one word for me

[marylandblue]

47. This is almost certainly not true

It would violate federal contracting rules and the government would end up losing badly in court. If the contractor met the contract specs, the government has to pay whether Trump likes it or not.

[CatWoman]

5. he's still at it

and is not making a lick of damned sense.

[cilla4progress]

6. I know

the rambling is insane.

Oh, he thinks he would have been a good general...

He fucking doesn't know SHIT~! Or maybe that's all he knows.

[Totally Tunsie]

18. That's the ultimate Joke of the Day:

"I think I would have been good General, but who knows?"

Just like everything else in his pampered, privileged life, Cadet Bone Spurs would have no problem jumping into the top rank of General, as long as he could skip all that pesky training and previous enlistment and rise straight to the top. Geez...where else have I seen that with regard to the Magat? Oh, I know...his first foray into politics and he runs for (and gets elected to!) President of the United States.

There are no words...

[riversedge]

25. It would have been awesome if someone would have shoulded--But you daddy got a podidrist

to lie for you and you got 5 deferments.

[Achilleaze]

30. "But instead I'm the world's best republican Draft-Dodger." - Dirty Donny (R)

[Andy823]

44. Actually

He was put in place by the Russians. Without their help he would never have taken office.

[Maeve]

46. He wouldn't have made a good private

To give orders, you have to know how to take them

[manor321]

7. The Dems should not have agreed to meet with Trump today

They should have insisted on waiting until the House passes the bills to re-open government.

This is just giving Trump yet another opportunity to frame the debate. And the press follows.

[riversedge]

21. Well, I think the Dems had to make a good faith effort to meet with him. It sure does NOT

seem to be a meeting --briefing about the Wall!


Did someone--other than Trump brief the Dems??? at the beginning (I know missed the opening of this rant)

[Corgigal]

13. Omg, someone in the room, stop him.

Tackle him, grab him by his orange head....something.

America will give that person , every thing they want...forever.

[greatauntoftriplets]

14. This is a cabinet meeting.

The one with Democrats is later this afternoon.

[riversedge]

37. Thanks. A few here on DU just informed me.

[brooklynite]

15. The Democrats are meeting with him at 3 PM.

[riversedge]

35. Oh, OK. I missed that. So this is just a WH press conference. or Trump rant!!

[brooklynite]

38. This is Trump ranting at a Cabinet meeting

[malaise]

16. In a sane world the medical people would come running into the room

strap him on a gurney and lock him up in a psychiatric ward.

This is madness on steroids

[SummerSnow]

20. This is a meltdown of epic proportions , never seen it this bad. He's scared about the meeting

cause he knows he won't get his wall and Pelosi gets the gavel tomorrow.

[chelsea0011]

17. Wow. Just WOW!

He is insane.

[nolabear]

19. It's his swan song.

He's trying to show how much he knows and what a great negotiator he is. He's just showing his ignorance and determination to lie. It's his last gasp to say a lot before anyone can contradict or stop him.

Bye Bub.

[LeftInTX]

23. Did he say something about Syria and sand?

"I don't wanna be in Syria, there's sand."

Now he's babbling about Iran.

[riversedge]

32. I heard that but I could not comprehend it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dalton99a]

24. Every day is Trump Day

Sickening

[riversedge]

26. I want the cable folks and networks to actually talk about policies--not trumps tantrums. It

would be so informative.

[riversedge]

28. Whow, now Trump is saying we should do a big immigration bill--not just the wall. Hypocrite is too

kind of a word to use on his crappy mouth.

[riversedge]

29. cnn trailer: "GOP willing to include Dreamers on Wall deal" Anyone know it this is true??

[LeftInTX]

45. I've heard this before. Back in 2017. Several other times.

So it's probably accurate.

[riversedge]

48. umm. thanks

[mobeau69]

31. Need Palin to explain wtf he's talking about.

This is fucking unbelieveable.

[riversedge]

43. after listening to this.. Palin might actually make sense!

[mobeau69]

33. "I essentially fired Mattis."

[riversedge]

42. Nope---trump dumpy is fast being fact checked...........

I hope Mattis knocks him good for this lie....

What has Mattis done for ME!! whow

Trump says he "essentially" fired Jim Mattis. He did not. Mattis resigned due to policy differences. Trump also says of Mattis: What's he done for me? How has he done in Afghanistan? Not too good. Not too good. I'm not happy with what he's done in Afghanistan." Via Fox.

34. There are literally memes all over social media on this ramble and he's STILL rambling!

Mother of GOD he's holding his cabinet captive. Send supplies!
