If the talk is driving Trump crazy, as it apparently is with some here, all the better.

(30,481 posts)It doesn't appear to be used as a quote.
Not that it matter. Not that any of this matters.
First clue this isn't real. Trump doesn't have the attention span to sit through a speech and listen.

(102,343 posts)Nor do I, presently.
While I agree this may well be BS twitter feed, they clearly do edit tv content for Trump's short attention span and he might just have watched the reaction.

(42,747 posts)When you post here, it is "for" everyone here. And the notion that if someone doesn't like your post they shouldn't post in your thread is actually pretty strange. It's a discussion board. Not an I agree with you board.
hlthe2b
(102,343 posts)prefaced by LOL which clearly shows I took it as a joke.
If you think the comments to me from Codeine and snooper2 were "polite" then please put me on ignore. PLEASE.
ANYONE here can make a post, but attacking them for doing so when you may not think it "funny" or "worthy" or whatever is RUDE AS HELL. Just move along and ignore it.

(42,747 posts)Snooper 2: "fake tweets"
Codeine: "That's a joke Twitter. nt"
I also think your reaction to those tweets came across, maybe unintentionally, as a bit snotty.
hlthe2b
(102,343 posts)"my post was a waste of electrons" Really?
You know we've had some good discussions in the past, but you've shown your true stripes, I guess, if you are defending that level of incivility.
onenote
(42,747 posts)But they seemed to be a reaction to a post on your part that, as I said, seemed, maybe unintentionally, to be a bit snotty.
It seems like the solution is for everyone to put this behind them as one of those internet conversations that got off the rails.
hlthe2b
(102,343 posts)as, as you describe it, "snotty" I, by the way would never have called YOU names until you did so to me
Put me on ignore if you don't like it. I will do the same
onenote
(42,747 posts)As I said, I don't think you necessarily intended to come across poorly, but I can see how it might have seemed that way to some.
Ah well, I'm moving on from this.
hlthe2b
(102,343 posts)Is THAT YOUR way of coming across WELL?!!
This was meant to be a light-hearted post and I DO NOT deserve the way you and your cohorts attacked me. "Sorry if I took offense"--REALLY? Clearly you are not.

(17,984 posts)I mean, my God, how can they take him the least bit seriously?
wishstar
(5,271 posts)She is the only celebrity who could garner as much media attention and exceed him in public recognition and excitement. Her business accomplishments have successfully made her a billionaire and the wealthiest self-made woman on earth. He is scared because she is virtually scandal-free and can appeal to moderates and independents as she has not been a polarizing political figure attracking negative attention.
Naturally he has probably ordered his staff and Repub Party to begin tearing her down and finding her weaknesses.
smirkymonkey
(63,221 posts)I definitely think she could beat him at his own game, and while I would like someone with some political background as president, I would love to see her trounce him.

(82,849 posts)What's curious is the utter silence of Trump. Is Oprah Winfrey the one person Trump can't paint as a loser or a failure, or is he just stuck for a suitable adjective beginning with "O" to name-call her?

(6,977 posts)BUT, if talk of her running (And he believe it) runs that fat, treasonous hog even more crazy then he already is, then I'm all for the talk of her running for POTUS continuing

(14,971 posts)he's been impeached or carted off to jail . His businesses are losing money and that fact alone will prevent him from running. Plus I think the job makes him miserable.
AlexSFCA
(6,139 posts)steal all media airtime from him. The only way to destroy trump is to not cover him in the media. He cant survive a day w/o dominating news cycle. His whole purpose of living is creating his own news for him to watch on tv.
Whether she runs or not, she might as well announce that she will anyways to already start stealing airtime from him. This may just drive trump into resignation. After all he is a huge fan of Oprah who would be his perfect running mate in his dreams.
