Trump is gonna do a victory tour. Has any other Pres. elect done one of those?

[dixiegrrrrl]

I can't remember.

Trump advance director says president-elect will embark on a 'victory tour' of states he won, according to pool report

1. Me either.

Most of them were heads-down trying to find 3,500 people for staff and cabinet.

Tangeranus is a special case, it seems.

He also apparently doesn't have time for his University fraud trial, but he does have time for this "Victory tour".

[rzemanfl]

3. I like "Tangeranus"-I'm stealing it.

We live in a kleptocracy. If you PM the copyright I will reconsider.

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

5. Use it! Spread the name far and wide!

Give it to your friends to use! Use it to piss off his supporters, too!

I shall not refer to him by anything else than Tangeranus. Not even "President Tangeranus".

Just...Tangeranus.

[dixiegrrrrl]

31. Actually, we are now in a kakistocracy. Seriously.

The American Heritage Dictionary defines it as a “government by the least qualified or most unprincipled citizens.”

Webster’s is simpler: “government by the worst people.”


And I always thought "caca" was just childish slang.

[Uponthegears]

2. Of states he won???????

Is he really trying to be the most divisive political figure in history or does it just come naturally to him?

[redwitch]

4. I do believe it comes naturally to him.

This is going to be so ugly.

[atreides1]

6. Something like this, perhaps!

[TrishaJ]

8. It is troubling that he wants to continue

to do rallies with supporters after he has been elected President of ALL. I can't think of anything more divisive.

[LisaM]

17. Yeah, I know.

He is such a creep.

[redstatebluegirl]

7. No, but usually they don't need cheered by a large crazy crowd every day like Trumper.

[Opbrg]

9. He doesn't want to do the work of the president

he just wants the attention and the power. I'm sure he has gotten addicted to the cheering crowds. Whats he gonna do when they turn on him when he doesn't follow through with all of his promises.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

12. Bingo! n/t

[pandr32]

18. He'll hole up and overnight tweet about how unfair it all is.

[davekriss]

41. Will they turn on him?

The Republicans will deftly blame the Democrats and their low-information voters will eat it up.

(Sadly.)

[Buckeye_Democrat]

10. The orange freak needs constant attention per Tony Schwartz, the author...

... of The Art of the Deal.

http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2016/07/25/donald-trumps-ghostwriter-tells-all

There was not a single call that Trump deemed too private for Schwartz to hear. “He loved the attention,” Schwartz recalls. “If he could have had three hundred thousand people listening in, he would have been even happier.”

“There is no private Trump.” This is not a matter of hindsight. While working on “The Art of the Deal,” Schwartz kept a journal in which he expressed his amazement at Trump’s personality, writing that Trump seemed driven entirely by a need for public attention.

In his journal, he describes the hours he spent with Trump as “draining” and “deadening.” Schwartz told me that Trump’s need for attention is “completely compulsive,” and that his bid for the Presidency is part of a continuum. “He’s managed to keep increasing the dose for forty years,” Schwartz said. After he’d spent decades as a tabloid titan, “the only thing left was running for President. If he could run for emperor of the world, he would.”

[smirkymonkey]

32. What a flaming narcissist! I've never seen anything like it.

He's so disgusting. I really cannot tolerate another 4 months of this pig, let alone 4 years.

[dixiegrrrrl]

33. That is really quite chilling.

Can you imagine how Putin and China can work that trait? It makes us so vulnerable.

[dixiegrrrrl]

36. Just read your link. It is horrifying. Seriously.

I hope you will consider making your comment a separate post so more people can grab the link.

Trump's extremely short attention span, his black and white thinking, his inability or unwillingness to even read a book, and his short fuse make for a most dangerous person to have any kind of power.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

47. It's been shared here before.

Not by me, but others. You could create a new thread about it if you wish, but it's an "old " article.

It's not just Schwartz, but other biographers who were interviewed that painted the same picture. They said that Trump gets very upset if his faulty notions are corrected by facts. (That's from a long and old Politico article in which several of his other biographers were interviewed together, but I'm too lazy to look for it right now.)

It's extremely troubling! What if that idiot gets in his head that another country did something that warranted a nuclear strike despite the intelligence community telling him otherwise?!

By the way, I hope that you're doing well. I still recall your thread about cancer.

[dixiegrrrrl]

48. Worse yet, people like Bannon and that slimebag Rudy will FEED those crazy impulses.

Mr. Dixie has been hearing from old friends who are now taking early retirement from the military, who say they are far from the only ones doing so, that they have ZERO desire to serve under Trump.


( Doing very well, thank you. )

[Buckeye_Democrat]

50. I don't blame the military friends.

This country would need be invaded before I'd take up arms under Trump.

Glad to read that you're well!

You maybe don't follow football, but I hope to see Ohio State play Alabama in a playoff game later. The Buckeyes blew it last season against a less talented Michigan State team -- upsets happen sometimes, especially when the play-calling stinks -- and I knew Sparty would get crushed against the Tide. I'm not sure if any team will beat Alabama this season, but I think OSU at least has the speed and strength to keep it close.

[Laffy Kat]

11. Would it be possible to impeach him BEFORE inauguration?

Honestly, the thought of him being sworn in at this point is....terrifying.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

15. You prefer Pence?

Be careful what you ask for ...

[Laffy Kat]

16. Yes, I know, I know.

Look, I have a gay son so I am very careful what I wish for. I am hoping that SOMETHING materializes that will doom the Repubs. path. Hoping against hope. I mean if something was uncovered that went to the top of the GOP..

[davekriss]

43. It's times like this I wish Kasich accepted the offer

K is still a complete Repub, but - unlike Trump and Pence - he's not insane.

(I refer of course to Trump's offer of the VP slot, adding that he, Kasich, would be in charge of foreign and domestic policy while he, Drumpf, was busy making America great again.)

[MFM008]

52. I know

I was relieved to hear a dullerd like Romney might be SoS.

[davekriss]

55. Scary times, I felt the same way

Hearing Romney's name I felt, for a moment, there's hope for mankind.

[rbrnmw]

58. I did too

strange days indeed. At least Mittens is sane

[meow2u3]

20. Pence has the charisma of a dead fish

Besides, he'll only have 2 years to do damage and won't do a whole lot because Dems, if they have a spine, will filibuster the worst of the anti-human legislation.

[MFM008]

13. I would stay indoors

A lot if I were him.
Crazy people out there.

[msongs]

14. smart PR move- will be a media spectacular, reducin coverage of his negatives. nt

[SunSeeker]

19. Are my tax dollars paying for that ego massage tour??

Could you imagine the howls from the GOP if Obama had done this after he won?

[3catwoman3]

29. Pre-

-chisels.

President Obama couldn't even go on vacation with calling forth the wrath of the furies.

[dixiegrrrrl]

34. Campaign dollars, I would think.

He is a master of using other people's money, has bragged about it often.

[mcar]

21. Narcissist

Everyone look at meeeeee!

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

22. Didn't Bill Clinton do a bus tour?

Along with Al Gore

[kcr]

35. Well? Did he?

I'm sure you're asking for a reason. Please, do let us know the details of this.

[JI7]

38. are you talKing about when they were campaigning and trying to win over voters ?

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

39. No I believe they did a bus tour right after that

[JI7]

40. Can you give info on it ?

[Mc Mike]

23. I'd love the chance to demonstrate how Americans feel about him.

Hey Hey Donnie J, How many women ju grope today?

[MurrayDelph]

24. So THAT's what he is going to be doing

with the time that he told Judge Curiel that he's too busy to attend his trial?

[malaise]

28. Nailed it

[lpbk2713]

25. I'll stock up on eggs if he comes to my part of Florida.

...

[Initech]

37. Thankfully he didn't win California so he won't be coming here.

Otherwise I'd stock up with ya.

[guillaumeb]

26. But those of us in Illinois will be deprived of the "pleasure" of seeing him. eom

[still_one]

27. I belive Mussolini and some guy from Germany....... oops, wrong country sorry I

got mixed up, and since it seems that el dulce, er, I mean trump, seems quite eager to make those in his family part of his administration, could it be that we are a banana republic?

As for those in his family who do become part of his administration, I guess their concern would be that he doesn't have the temperament of Kim Jong On.

well, you pays your money, and ya take your chances

[LongTomH]

45. El Duce? More like El Douchebag!

[madamvlb]

30. His lawyers are trying to delay trial in CA...

Trumps lawyers have stated they want the Trump University case delayed while he prepaes for his duties to become POTUS, WTF? He can have all the rallies he can handle but can't face his accusers in court due to time constraints?

[Skittles]

42. the ultimate high for an extreme narcissist

[dixiegrrrrl]

46. Bingo. Seriously. n/t

[mountain grammy]

44. Glad he won't come to Colorado..

[VOX]

49. Only touring his red states. Like it's a punishment for blue states...

We'll be separated from the Orange Man Baby love. So heartbroken!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

51. Minnesota will be "punished."

Good.

[katmondoo]

53. If it is a bus tour can somebody just pee on it please

[ramapo]

54. What an ass

Does he realize that he is actually president of all the states?

[dixiegrrrrl]

56. Actually, he is not even Pres.-elect until electoral college meets.

Right now he is a guy who lost the popular vote and won the electoral vote, which is not even in effect yet.

[Initech]

57. We are seeing the beginnings of a third world dictator here.
