Quote:Trump asked Monday for more time to submit evidence to the House Intelligence Committee to back up his claim that President Barack Obama had wiretapped him in the waning days of last year’s presidential campaign.

Jack Langer, the House committee’s spokesman, said the panel had agreed to extend its Monday deadline but asked that whatever evidence Trump had be submitted before the committee’s first open hearing on Russian election meddling, now set for next Monday.

Trump lodged the allegations against Obama in a series of tweets March 4. “Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my ‘wires tapped’ in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is Mc-Carthyism!” and "How low has President Obama gone to tapp my phones during the very sacred election process. This is Nixon/Watergate. Bad (or sick) guy!"
White House spokesman Sean Spicer declined Monday to comment on when evidence would be sent to the House committee. He said, however, that his “understanding is that they will” submit evidence.
Spicer also said that Trump had not meant wiretapping literally in his tweet. Spicer said Trump was referring to surveillance in general.

In a remarkable tweet Monday by the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, Adam Schiff of California: “We must accept possibility that Trump does not know fact from fiction, right from wrong. That wild claims are not strategic, but worse.” Schiff is not a partisan hothead, so his discussion of the sitting president was that much more striking.

“The implications are quite extraordinary,” Schiff said in a follow-up interview with NPR. In a crisis, he asked, “how much credibility will the president have left to persuade the country of what has happened, what needs to be done? How much credibility will he have with our allies to get them to back us up? So these have real-world repercussions. ... It’s the president losing the credibility of the office.”

There is some hope, however scant, of a presidential learning curve. But trust once squandered is not easily, if ever, regained. And without it any president will remain severely hobbled.

Anybody else here think we're missing the bigger picture?
I'm not really comfortable with all of these people going to their twitter accounts. It's one thing when celebs do it, but am I the only one that's not very comfortable with public officials paid for with our tax dollars doing it?
I very much include Trump in there too.
They're all acting like little kids.
It's a strange new world we're living in today. Buckle up... It's only going to get stranger.

When Trump tweets, just now, he does not make sense. The explanation of why Trump's tweet is crazy is longer than the tweet, but that is how it is. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/841665325682827265
Trump tweeted only "JOBS, JOBS, JOBS!" (for a crazyman Trump is really articulate) and a picture of the liberal media reporting job figures. I can remember last month when Trump called down hellfire on the liberal media for its LIES, LIES, LIES! about employment. Trump claimed 42% were jobless. What changed in the real world to change what Trump is saying? Nothing, job figures are about the same as under Obama. What changed inside Trump's head? Everything, because Trump wants all the news to either praise him or else he will attack it as false. He's crazy.

I'm not talking Trump vs Obama on tweets, and I'm not even going to get sucked into that argument.
I don't think any of them should be tweeting.

Quote:How about a longer story where Presidents talk to each other over lunch? Obama still lives in DC, unlike all other Presidents before him. They all left town forever, but Obama is renting a mansion near Trump. If Trump wants to talk face-to-face, Obama would be there in a minute since he spends his idle days as an unemployed book writer living off the advance payment from publisher Penguin Random House.

A few days after President John F. Kennedy made a calamitous early misstep—a carelessly planned attempt to invade Cuba and overthrow Fidel Castro, in April, 1961—he invited Dwight D. Eisenhower, his predecessor as President, for lunch. They met at Camp David, in Maryland’s Catoctin Mountains, close to Eisenhower’s Gettysburg farm. Outside the complex’s Aspen Cottage, Kennedy said, “No one knows how tough this job is until after he has been in it for a few months.” Eisenhower replied, “Mr. President, if you will forgive me, I think I mentioned that to you three months ago,” to which Kennedy said, “I certainly have learned a lot since then.”
This purported exchange, repeated in many histories of the time, cannot be found in Ike’s notes on the meeting, but it sounds authentic, given what we know of each man. Kennedy was certainly rattled enough by his early failure to look for advice from the general who’d commanded the Allied Expeditionary Force. Although Kennedy hired a number of smart, if not necessarily wise, advisers, he knew what he didn’t know. He was a serious reader and student of history. Ike and J.F.K. were never particularly friendly, but they both respected the office they’d held, and Eisenhower, a traditional patriot, simply wanted Kennedy to succeed. At Camp David, he offered some enduring Ike-like advice: after urging Kennedy to support, “at least morally and politically,” policies to keep Communist influence out of the Western Hemisphere, he warned, according to his notes, that “the American people would never approve direct military intervention, by their own forces, except under provocations against us so clear and so serious that everybody would understand the need for the move.”
That idea of Presidential understanding and coöperation, and of the high stakes they involve—the unexpressed faith that America’s leaders, past and present, must put the nation’s welfare first—is among the serious casualties of the new Presidency of the former reality-TV star and real-estate brander Donald J. Trump. His burst of tweets on March 4th about his predecessor, Barack Obama—sent between 6:35 and 7:02 a.m. E.S.T., and arriving like an early-morning gust of foul wind—is unforgettable for the glimpse it gave of the disturbances within Trump’s mind.

If you believe ILLEGAL immigration is a problem, Trump might be crazy like a fox.
Quote:It doesn't seem to take money - just a few high-profile verbal threats to build a wall and make Mexico pay, and a few high-profile raids and deportations - and suddenly, the upside of entering the US illegally doesn't look as big as the downside.

If illegal aliens will be deported, Trump needs a plan that makes sense and money from Congress to fuel his plan.

Quote:I'd say a lot. Trump campaigned on illegal immigration, and he's gotten good results. Trump campaigned on repealing Obamacare, and it's in the works. Trump campaigned that there was no such thing as global warming, and Scott Pruitt now heads the EPA. And so on. Whether or not you agree with what he's doing, Trump's actions speak far louder than words to the people of the country. Besides, they've been ignoring the democrats and the chattering class for a while, and both lost any remaining semblance of credibility during the last election, with Hillary as a candidate, and her media-predicted cruise to victory.
how much credibility will the president have left to persuade the country of what has happened
