President-elect Donald Trump is praising L.L. Bean heiress Linda Bean for donations that helped his campaign and he's encouraging people to continue shopping there.

I thought he had no shot. Man, was I wrong. Oh well, at least it won't be boring -- this fucktard can't resist twitter. I thought Obama was a narcissist, but this dude takes it to a new level. It still blows my mind thinking about him getting humiliated by Obama during that correspondent's dinner -- and now he's going to be POTUS. Surreal.

I started to think he had a real shot once the Clinton camp got really overconfident after the third debate, how she was shooting for a landslide she could use to claim a mandate. She thought she was going to turn red states blue (instead of blue states red :lol)

Right. So if you hired someone for a job and, during training, they showed themselves to be unhinged and did a 180 on half of the stuff they said during the interview, this wouldn't concern you.

I'm guessing you'll take this approach into the Presidency as well.

His speaking style is pretty cringeworthy -- especially when you contrast it with Obama. Also, picking fights with people he thinks slighted/insulted him isn't a good look for a president. That being said, I'll try to keep separate what I think about his personality vs. policy and outcomes.

:lol yes saying a person has to be President before they can be called a shitty President is cheerleading. Honestly I probably won't say much about whatever Trump does at least on this forum, especially early on. I'll be too busy laughing at your continuous state of meltdown.

In fact just this morning I was listening to a bunch of libs on msnbc express their grave concern that Trump's plans were going to increase the national debt and it didn't matter how I felt about the topic, I just couldn't help but laugh at their new found concerns.

I guess eventually I'll get sick of all the winning, at least that's what I heard somewhere.

So not sure why we're still talking about Clinton. My concern over Trump as PEOTUS would be exactly the same even if the Democratic candidate was literally a petrified turd.

Absolutely. It's entirely possible that he ends up being an effective President. I hope he does.

My problem is when people see a press conference like the one a couple of days ago from the future President of their country, or his Twitter feed, and the reaction is "lol lib tears." If he's an effective President, it's going to be in spite of his public persona, not because of it.

Meh, he still seems to think he's running. If he didn't, he wouldn't be continually comparing himself to Hillary, even as his inauguration is a week away.

(Just realized Spurminator already dealt with this; my bad for not finishing reading the thread before piping up. Carry on.).

[FromWayDowntown]

What was it that upset you at the press conference? Slamming CNN and Buzzfeed?

I can only speak for myself, but there were several things that I found worrisome (aside from President-Elect Trump's frustrating tendency to speak only in platitudes and generalities, when not insulting people):

1. a lot of what was said by President-Elect Trump and his lawyer on the conflict of interest stuff sounded like an infomercial for how amazingly rich and successful Trump claims to be, which sounds a lot like the first thing that Trump thinks of -- even now -- is Trump.

2. the interaction with the CNN reporter is what it is, but the ultimate effect of that approach to dealing with the media could be that President Trump will refuse to answer questions from anyone who doesn't cover him the way he wants to be covered (this is, I think, a very real possibility), which could put significant pressure on news organizations (or from the boards of corporations that run news organizations) to refrain from legitimate criticisms of Trump (which he seems to be most distressed by) in order to have sufficient access to keep their businesses afloat. There's a whole different discussion in there about corporate ownership of media, but at the end of the day, de facto efforts to silence media or to coerce favorable coverage of political matters is pretty flagrantly contrary to the principles of the First Amendment.

3. related to that, President-Elect Trump seems to think that he can dismiss virtually any criticism of himself now by referring to it as just "fake news," even if what is reported was actually, objectively true. His team seems to think that they can resist any questions that might require defending things for which Trump has been criticized by redirecting the conversation to the biases of the media or by contending that the issue should have remained out of the public sphere and shouldn't be discussed for that reason.

4. President-Elect Trump's absolute unwillingness to be transparent with his business interests and his belief that he could handle the Presidency as a part-time gig while also operating his businesses feel to me like he has no grasp upon either the significance of the office or the public trust that we repose in Presidents.

5. PEOTUS completely blanked on Jeff Sessions' name. For whatever reason, that's just not reassuring to me.

[tlongII]

I've been satisfied with pretty much everything Trump has done so far.

Yes, at least to the extent that the criticisms of him were valid (and a lot of it was). When the criticism started wading into matters of personality or unfounded attacks on his wife and children, I think he was justified in standing up to that -- as would Trump.

OT: Saw a Diana Ross concert at Hard Rock Cafe in Hollywood. Other than she has no stamina (costume change in between every other song), she closed the concert with Gaynor's "I Will Survive." Everyone leaving the concert was buzzing about why she chose to end with someone else's song (usually the last song you hear is the one on repeat in your head) - it's not like Ross doesn't have a LONG list of her own songs she could have ended with - weirdest concert I've even been to.

To be fair here, Barry sat down with Fox News (ie: O'Reilly) plenty of times for interviews and he conducted such interviews (O'Reilly too) with the appropriate respect the office of the POTUS demands.

Perhaps Trump needs to learn on the job about proper decorum and the seriousness of his position as the top public servant, and that's understandable, but from what we've seen so far, he has a long ways to get there.

I'm not going to watch an 8 minute video so if there's a particular part you'll have to point out the time. At the beginning Reagan points to Chris Wallace and then Chris Wallace begins to ask his question. There isn't another reporter screaming and trying to talk over the POTUS. Decorum cuts both ways.

On the Obama interview you posted Obama takes a shot at O'Reilly and Fox news. O'Reilly did not begin screaming and talking over the POTUS. Again, decorum cuts both ways.

At Trumps presser, cnn was told they were going to be iced out because Trump was pissed (off not on). So cnn decided we'll show him, showed up to the press conference hours early with multiple reporters and producers and occupied most of the front row with the intent of forcing Trump to take their questions. Instead they got shat on. I don't have a problem with it. The only part I have a problem with is the Trump team should know better than to have first come seating at his press conference.

My point is that he answered, or at least attempted to answer every question... and he did it respectfully, even though he was getting seriously grilled left and right. Some reporters were basically one step away from straight up calling him a liar, and he handled it with the class and seriousness that his office demands. Much like every other president, he understands that media pressers aren't informercials. You're gonna get grilled sometimes, and you have to have the capacity to answer with a certain amount of decorum, or simply graciously answer that you're not going to answer for whatever reason. They're public servants, that's the office they hold. If you don't want to answer, or you can't answer, state it plainly and don't take it personal. His soon-to-be office is not about him personally, it's about the president of all americans.

You can nick Barry for constantly being in campaign mode, tbh, no doubt about it (although, hate him or love him, he's leaving with approval ratings not seen since Reagan). Dubya loved to go out golfing instead, Reagan loved to do the "talk to the people" TV speeches.

But when it came to pressers, they all showed up, put their president cap on, and took on it. That's all I'm saying.

It' too early to say this is the way it's going to be with Trump, but he gotta learn it's not personal. At the end of the day, it hurts him more than it hurts CNN or whoever media it is. They get a story either way.

Trump attacks civil rights icon John Lewis. Twitter’s response is PERFECT.

Rep. John Lewis (D-Georgia), in a segment to be aired on this Sunday’s edition of Meet the Press, said he doesn’t view Trump as a “legitimate president (http://www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-press/john-lewis-trump-won-t-be-legitimate-president-n706676),” given the widespread allegations of Russian involvement in hacking email accounts associated with top Democratic Party officials.

Lewis also said he would be boycotting Trump’s inauguration, which is the first inauguration he’s skipped since Ronald Reagan’s.

==============

Trump’s claims that Rep. Lewis’ district was “falling apart” and that he was “all talk, talk, talk – no action or results,” were suitably torn apart by a slew of both liberals and conservatives on Twitter.

CNN commentator Keith Boykin posted a detailed profile of Lewis’ Congressional district, which shows that a high percentage of constituents have college degrees.

Occupy Boston activist Robin Jacks also pointed out that Lewis’ district includes prestigious universities and one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in the South.

Others who actually live in the district mocked Trump’s assertion that it was “crime infested.”

I don't disagree. I'm just pointing out that, to me, Obam has already lowered the respect bar for sitting president for always wanting to be "cool".

[Chris]

Trump literally can't do anything without triggering Leftists. :lol

They aren't used to this kind of open honesty and get offended when he fights back using their social media platforms. Propaganda outlets like CNN, ABC, NBC are all shitting their pants because their routing smear campaign rhetoric is backfiring and they have nary a backup plan.

You could say that, but it's undeniable that at least Dems pretty much loved him all the way to the end, flaws and all. You really can't say that about Republicans and dubya...

The polls were wrong? They predicted a 3-4% point loss. He lost by 2.1%. Within the margin of error.

Everything is fine. The Democratic Party is still on the verge of permanent one party rule.

Meanwhile Obama deploys 4000 troops in Poland and issues out more executive orders like hot cakes. Rosie calls for a Hollywood boycott and martial law. Radical leftists are calling for mass rioting on the 20th. Cue the Soros flash mobs. Obama is doing his best to make this a smooth transition for the President Elect :lol The amount of disrespect Trump gets from Media and their Hollywood cronies is completely unwarranted and absolutely off the charts.

Well, she did obtain 2.8 million more votes than the illegitimate one. The polls accurately predicted that outcome.

Such a Libtard. Just because I look out for myself. That doesn't make me racist. It might be true Trump helps the working class more than Obama. And less free handouts to those not working. Poor whites as well need to get a better job or a job. Time to Make America Work Again!

Most pundits don't seem to understand the difference between dependent and independent random variables and kept acting like Trump had to win 7 or 8 coinflips. I don't know how many times I heard these people say the electoral math didn't favor him, as if Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania didn't have a lot of the same concerns that would push them to having a very correlated vote.

Yeah the polls were off by about what they usually are. I remember Silver kept writing about how disastrous a 1.5-2 point swing the other way could be to Clinton when she was up 4-5 points and how fragile that blue wall of hers (that ended up going entirely red) was.
