Trump Is Throwing Tantrums And Humiliating Himself When Confronted By World Leaders

It is being reported from inside the government, that Donald Trump is throwing tantrums during calls with world leaders when he is confronted about his policies.

“A government official familiar with the call says President’s Trump’s interactions with foreign leaders have been,’at this stage naive.

In that, he keeps suggesting that we will have the best relationship ever with a broad departure of countries,

but there is no substance to back it up.

When he encounters a policy challenge, like with Turnbull, he responds with a tantrum.”

Trump isn’t only a national disgrace. It is a safe guess that he is turning the world’s only superpower into a laughingstock in the eyes of the rest of the world.

President Trump has no idea how to govern, and clearly no concept of diplomacy or give and take.

The behavior described by the government official is embarrassing and not appropriate for the President Of The United States

You’re Not Crazy, The Leaks Coming Out Of The Trump Admin Really Are YUGE

Many of these unflattering details about the turmoil at the White House and inner psychology of the President have come from a steady stream of anonymous leaks. Presidential historians and veteran political journalists agree they’re unlike anything they’ve seen before.

“I can’t recall having seen a situation where there appears to be so much leaking of such an intimate nature in such a short period of time,”

“I think typically there is an enormous amount of care on the part of the White House staff not to do anything to undermine the President,

he’d seen “nothing remotely like” the leaks coming out of the Trump White House over the course of his career.

Less than two weeks into the Trump administration, staffers at federal agencies have been taking a similar approach. Drafts of executive orders have been leaked to the press days before they are made public.

Anonymous officials said that Homeland Security Secretary Gen. John Kelly learned that Trump was moving forward with his travel ban on immigrants and refugees because an official on his briefing call happened to see Trump signing it on television.

Trump is blazing ahead with huge policy changes like the travel ban, reportedly without consulting officials essential to the successful rollout of those policies.

Trump “basically ran against the establishment and the establishment works for him now and they’re not all contented employees,”

“I think they feel less of the initial loyalty they’d feel to a new president because he’s basically told the world he doesn’t think much of them.”

Trump administration’s “tricky relationship with the truth” has also pushed career civil servants to try to “set the record straight.”
“He’s kind of created a whole government of fact checkers,”

Senior Trump staffers who could quash such leaks are stymied by their own lack of government experience and the ongoing clashes between warring factions trying to get the President’s ear,

the leaks only serve as confirmation of the aggressive, bull-in-a-china-shop at ude of a President who wears his opinions on his sleeve.

“What’s remarkable is that you don’t even need those leaks coming out of the White House,” Steinhorn said. “This stuff is really front and center: his psychology, his insecurities, his neuroses, what keeps him up at night—he’s not hiding that from anyone. There is no filter with this man.”

Donald Trump is freezing out National Security Council experts

The president has created a barrier separating himself from those with the most policymaking knowledge

National Security Advisor Michael Flynn is stacking the National Security Council with friends of the Trump administration in a move insiders fear will create a wall between President Trump and the intelligence community.

the goal was to reduce the size of Flynn’s staff so as to “run a very precise and orderly and quick process,” but multiple sources told Politico that staffers that they were concerned this organization structure will lead to an insular policymaking process within the White House.

This isn’t the first time that reports have leaked about federal staffers and policymakers being displeased with how the Trump administration is conducting himself.

Many talk with Obama’s recently-departed personnel over how they can resist the president’s initiatives or created social media accounts to anonymously leak their dissatisfaction with the new president’s policies and actions

President Trump and his staff are distrustful of each other and everyone else in the government

After a slew of leaks came from the White House, the Trump administration is now paranoid about sharing information

In President Trump’s first two weeks of office, damaging reports involving White House aides and staffers have steadily emerged from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Embarrassing stories — from the the president’s unhealthy TV diet to his tendency to throw temper tantrums — have been sourced through people reportedly close the president. Now, a longtime Trump adviser has leaked to Politico that the president is paranoid about all the leaks streaming from his office.

“Trying to nail down who the leakers are is like trying to count the roaches under the couch,”

Some Trump staffers told Politico that they were shocked by the amount of secrets leaking from the White House. “People are just knifing each other,”

Kellyanne Goebbels, Trump’s senior counselor, told Fox News that no one in the Trump administration is responsible for the leaks.

Trump and his team are reportedly distrustful of government bureaucrats, whom they see as loyal to former President Obama. “Every time something got to one of the agencies, it got out,”

Agency staff reportedly think the White House’s unwillingness to share information is causing implementation problems with the executive orders. The result is an undeniable disconnect between the White House and federal agencies.

Mounting dissent: Former diplomat reveals officials fear Trump is a serious national security threat

“There’s nothing unusual about the entire national security bureaucracy of the United States feeling like their commander in chief is a threat to U.S. national security. That happens all the time. It’s totally usual. Nothing to worry about.”

But an anonymous source told the Washington Post that bureaucrats in Washington plan to fight back against the president’s policy plans.

“You’re going to see the bureaucrats using time to their advantage,” the employee said. He added officials will use leaks and internal complains to “resist and push back against orders they find unconscionable.”

Donald Trump Lied To Us About His Health

In December 2015, Donald Trump released a letter from his physician stating that he takes "81 mg of aspirin daily and a low dose of a statin." Yesterday we learned that's untrue. Here's the New York Times:

President Trump takes medication for three ailments, including a prostate-related drug to promote hair growth, Mr. Trump’s longtime physician, Dr. Harold N. Bornstein, said in a series of recent interviews. The other drugs are antibiotics to control rosacea, a common skin problem, and a statin for elevated blood cholesterol and lipids.

The hair-growth drug, Propecia, has been associated in some men with "depression, anxiety and mental fogginess."

This is all good for a few jokes, but there's something serious here too: Once again, Trump has lied to us. He released a letter saying he takes only one prescription drug. He actually takes three, and obviously he knew this. What else is he lying about?

Legally I can kill him, Queen confirms



THE QUEEN has confirmed that if President Trump makes a state visit, she can kill him with a sword and nobody can touch her.

Palace staff have assured the Queen that, according to English law, Trump is a subject of the Crown and can, if judged to be damaging the monarchy, be dispatched without repercussion.

She said: “I haven’t made up my mind yet. I might.

“It’s been an awful lot of years hefting the old sword without using it, and who better to christen it on? Just imagine the look on his satsuma face.

“And the colonies would be so grateful they’d have me straight back as their reigning monarch, which solves this Brexit thing literally at a stroke.

“I should do one useful thing before I abdicate, really. And imagine how furious it’d make the May woman.”

Her Majesty added: “I genuinely can’t think of a reason not to. Anyone?”

'Trump Adviser' Is a Contradiction in Terms

Rex Tillerson, who ran Exxon Mobil for a decade before signing on as Donald Trump's secretary of state, is reportedly "baffled" that the White House didn't consult with him on its controversial executive order restricting travel and immigration from seven mostly Muslim countries.

James Mattis, who retired as a four-star Marine Corps general and supervisor of the U.S. Central Command before becoming Trump's secretary of defense, is said by the Associated Press to be "particularly incensed" about exactly the same thing.

Both men -- seasoned, thoughtful managers with bucketloads of experience and insight -- probably thought that Trump recruited them to his cabinet to be trusted advisers. They may be in for more surprises, however, because there's a good chance that Trump merely sees them as hood ornaments atop the little engine of state he's building at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

For most of Trump's career he has only trusted a small group of longtime loyalists at the Trump Organization, and even then

he has often tightened the circle further to family members.

it's likely that

the only permanent confidantes and counselors to the most powerful man in the world will be his 36-year-old son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and his daughter, Ivanka Trump, 35.

Advisers like Christie and Giuliani (and Cory Lewandowski) who are considered overly ubiquitous or assertive -- or both -- can find themselves out on the street. That's a reality that may eventually land hard on Trump's current leading media ambassador, Kellyanne Conway, who seems to have enjoyed more airtime lately than her boss. Chief strategist Steve Bannon, on the other hand, has shrewdly managed to stay off TV and has avoided interviews (a posture Kushner also favors).

Trump has always enjoyed having street-smart brawlers like Bannon at his side (think of Roy Cohn and Roger Stone) but he's unlikely to countenance a pretender to the throne. (Even if Bannon is going out of his way not to pretend, the media has crowned him. Trump absorbs media coverage and it often sways him.)

Bannon and Conway may survive in the White House for as long as Trump does. But

there are already rifts within Trump's senior team, as different cliques jockey for position.

And Trump's inability to knit together advisers and managers, and his family-centric ways, will continue to be stumbling blocks for his administration.

Trump Embraces Pillars of Obama’s Foreign Policy

including warning Israel to curb settlement construction,

demanding that Russia withdraw from Crimea and

threatening Iran with sanctions for ballistic missile tests.

In the most startling shift, the White House issued an unexpected statement appealing to the Israeli government not to expand the construction of Jewish settlements beyond their current borders in East Jerusalem and the West Bank.

Ambassador Nikki R. Haley declared that the United States would not lift sanctions against Russia until it stopped destabilizing Ukraine and pulled troops out of Crimea.

On Iran, the administration is preparing economic sanctions similar to those the Obama administration imposed just over a year ago. The White House has also shown no indication that it plans to rip up Mr. Obama’s landmark nuclear deal, despite Mr. Trump’s withering criticism of it during the presidential campaign.

Not that I'm any of the above, but I'm with boutons in that I would try cutting carbs and taking fish oil (or eating a lot of fatty fish) before going on statins. But if you do take statins, I suggest also taking COQ10 with it.

Do ents confirm Trump still benefiting from his business

newly released do ents show that Trump himself is the sole beneficiary of the trust and that it is legally controlled by his oldest son and a longtime employee.

The do ents, obtained through a public records request by the investigative news service ProPublica and first reported by the New York Times, also show that Trump retains the legal power to revoke the trust at any time.

The do ents show that Donald Trump Jr., the president’s eldest son, and Allen Weisselberg, the Trump Organization’s chief financial officer, were placed in legal control of the trust on Jan. 19, one day before Trump took office.

But they outline that the trust’s purpose is “to hold assets for the exclusive benefit of Donald J. Trump,” who “has the power to revoke the Trust.”
The records provide do entary evidence of what ethics experts have been warning about since before Trump took office.

While Trump has promised he will observe a separation between his business and the presidency, he retains ownership of the business and will personally benefit if the business profits from decisions made by his government.

The trust also does not dissolve other potential conflicts, including his le as executive producer of the NBC compe ion reality show “Celebrity Apprentice.” He recently made headlines for criticizing the show’s new host, former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, at the National Prayer Breakfast.

NBC representatives have not said whether Trump will be compensated for that role, or how much. But executive producers are traditionally paid, even when only retaining a passive credit.

The trust do ent obtained by ProPublica is attached to license filings tied to Trump’s Washington hotel, and it remains unclear whether other Trump businesses are governed under the same trust. The company has declined multiple requests to provide company trust agreements that could provide more clarity.


The question of Trump’s continued ownership stake has been particularly nettlesome at his Washington hotel, which is located in the Old Post Office building and is owned by the federal government. The terms of the 2013 lease agreement with the General Services Administration prohibit any elected official from benefiting from the property.

It is not yet clear whether placing his shares in the hotel under the control of the trust will provide sufficient legal separation to satisfy the terms of the lease. The GSA, which controls the lease, indicated on Jan. 27 that it had received new information from the Trump Organization and was “reviewing and evaluating this information to assess its compliance with the terms and conditions of the Old Post Office lease.”
