Not sure why people put any stock in a word that comes out of his mouth, the inauguration speech is no different. The truth is this guy just wants to be president for the sake of being the most powerful man in the world. He's a sociopath who happened to be born into a rich family and now that's he's the conquered the world of property and reality tv, the the only logical aim is to run for public office. Obviously, not giving an ounce of a shít for public service means he was never going to start out a lowly governor or senator, it was only ever going to be a presidential bid.

The idea that he's out for anything other than feel the thrill of operating the levers of power is just laughable. All those poor fools who voted him in and going to be very pissed off over the next couple of years.

even if that is true it doesn't stop him enacting and doing what he said he would and that's all people (his voters) want.
they couldn't give a hoot if he has the worlds biggest ego and it's all an ego boost for him if he coughs up the goods.

my personal view is that he is genuine enough - he is old and wealthy enough not to need this sh1te and his immediate family secure enough given their wealth and business not to be getting that much more from being a presidental family

I don't think that has anything to do with it at all. They've already updated with a list of other issues so it doesn't seem to be a case of "lawl busy, will update later" but rather could be pointing at something more telling, especially regarding Climate Change.

Eh you try stand like the police having rocks and traffic cones fired at you what you want them to do should just baton charge the scrotes

Protest all they want but no excuse to be throwing stuff at police or damaging property

I watched them on sky news attacking the cops with what looked like sweeping brush handles and rocks, breaking windows and turning over bins
Pointless vandalism and violence
The objective seems to be to get the cops to retaliate so they can get some videos up on YouTube

It's already been confirmed the Obama team took those down, and will be taking down anything else associated with Obama's administration.

So why have Trump's team not put up anything on them, given that they've uploaded plenty of their own stuff already?

My name is URL · 20-01-2017 08:52PM

President Trump is committed to eliminating harmful and unnecessary policies such as the Climate Action Plan and the Waters of the U.S. rule.

Well there you go.

Sure they just forgot to include 'climate change'

Perhaps the new administration has different policies to the old one. Who'd have thunk it?

The statement they gave Fox news was they'd be updating the website as access was given over.

He isn't personally updating the site you know. His team has had months to sort out their public image on the site.

It really is telling when the best excuse to be made for the President is "he hadn't prepared for something he had 10 weeks to prepare for".

Reddit are reporting that all references to Climate Change, as well as their LGBT section, and numerous other pages about issues facing veterans, have all been removed from the White House website.

All the while information about his wife's jewelry line have been added.

Pretty much sums things up.

He has only had more than a year to think of something and has been president four hours with policies already being uploaded. Give him a chance, maybe he will turn back on thinking it was a hoax?

Jesus Christ I feel more gullible even just typing that out.

95 % of jobs created were poorly paid part time jobs and short term contracts

Anything to back that up?

Posters on The Journal.ie say that about every single job created in Ireland.

In my experience companies don't want to recruit people on short term due to recruitment costs and admin etc.

Can't expect his poor team to do everything at once, they've been running around trying to clean up after Trump's latest. And one thing that you can guarantee with President Trump is that there's always a latest to clean up.

But surely issues like Climate Change & LGBT issues, as well as those facing veterans, & the numerous other pages that suddenly went missing are UNIVERSAL, so it wouldn't matter what administration it is, so, again, it isn't an excuse, but rather a very telling sign for the future.

Well that's even easier to dismiss than a randommer on Reddit. Certainly wouldn't take someone making a claim on Fox as confirmation of anything.

Hank Scorpio · 20-01-2017 08:58PM

Is that Kellyanne Conway on the edge of the Presidential table?

Very nice touch if true.

The Trump Administration is also committed to clean coal technology, and to reviving America’s coal industry, which has been hurting for too long.

hahahahahaha. Clean coal. Why would you want clean coal? Sure there is nothing wrong with fossil fuels.

The White House’s LGBT rights page has disappeared

Paul Ryan just said 'Slainte' when toasting Mike Pence.

Because putting it in writing that you support abusing them until they turn straight isn't something a first world country comes out and says.

And at least with randommers on Reddit, you can actually visit the White House website and see that all of these things are true.

https://www.whitehouse.gov/lgbt links to just a dead page.
Same as -
https://www.whitehouse.gov/energy/
https://www.whitehouse.gov/issues/veterans
https://www.whitehouse.gov/issues/seniors-and-social-security

That last one just tells me that I don't have authorization to access the page.

The Veterans one is a right kick in the nuts, I'd imagine - on the issues page that is there, it goes on about how they want to make the military strong again, while simultaneously removing all issues facing you once you're not in the military any more.

murpho999 · 20-01-2017 09:02PM

Trump now in adlib mode which is where he loses control and says crazy things.

As bad as Fox may be they've been a lot better than the vast majority of American MSM this election.

hahaha, he asked for a standing ovation for Clinton.

What happened to locking her up?!

A man of negative values is Trump

Zubeneschamali · 20-01-2017 09:04PM

Trump said climate change is a hoax by China to steal American jerbs.

Isis were formed from groups that the US imprisioned in Iraq. They are a direct result of the Iraq war. You can't blame him for them.

Syria occurred because of risings in the country. They were sparked by food protests caused by global warming.

You can criticise his handling of them but it's not fair to say they were created by Obama.

Obama allowed ISIS to fester into what they are today though by funding, training and arming them in the hope that they'd oust Assad in Syria.

Crikey they're at the religion thing again.
