After changing his tune and admitting that he fired Comey because of the FBI investigation into the Russian connection, he performed true to form acting like the New York street thug he is and always has been.

Embarrassing the whole country (and much of the free world) he threatened ex-FBI Director Comey in a bizarre tweet that suggested Trump recorded conversations between himself and Comey, and then further threatened unstated dire consequences should Comey reveal what actually went on during their meeting.

Is this the President of the United States or The Godfather?

When will the Republican leadership finally act to remove this madman from office?

Is there a difference?

You are attributing too much to him. Think of him as the gardener who leaves the rake fork side up and then steps on it .

More like a bully, who steamrolled the repubs. Then he steamrolls the press and the judiciary. Now he is steam rolling the intelligence community, and the very institutions of the government. He's just getting started.

Bully? His executive orders have been overruled by the lower courts .

As for the press....well let's say up front that I'm not a fan of the term fake news '. That being said ....the press can't be more hopelessly wrong in it's reporting over the Comey firing .
The Compost reported that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein had “threatened to resign after the narrative emerging from the White House on Tuesday evening cast him as a prime mover of the decision to fire Comey.” That was false . He denied the report .The Compost made no retraction or correction.
The Slimes reported that Comey asked the Justice Department’s Rosenstein for more funding and personnel for the Russia intelligence probe. That was confirmed false by FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe.““We don’t typically request resources for an individual case.”
Instead he told Congress that nothing ;from resources to political pressure , was interfering in the Russia probe. The Slimes did not retract .
Jeffrey Toobin at CNN said the Comey firing was an abuse of power when a President was under investigation. But it has been repeatedly confirmed that Trump is not under investigation.Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles Grassley,said that “I heard nothing that contradicted the president’s statement." That was seconded by Sen. Dianne Feinstein who told Grassley “I very much appreciated what you’ve said .And it’s very accurate."
So who's being the bully ? Yes Trump was annoyed that he was rightly called out about conflicting narratives over why Comey was fired . That's just indicative of undisciplined messaging in the White House ,much like the stepping on the garden rake that I compared it to.
Trump needs to realize that all these distractions takes him further away from his agenda goals . His fault is being obsessed with this phony Russian connection that more and more sounds like the Dem's version of 'birther'. He should concentrate on getting his agenda enacted and stop worrying about the feces throwing monkeys .

Tom, why are you defending him? His behaviour is that of a bully, shout loudly, intimidate

Wonder why he is so obsessed with this phony Russia stuff when he has so many things he needs to do? Hmm, well lets find out! Forget Herr Donald anyway and look at Mitch and the boys a bit closer. That's were the REAL monkeys are throwing crap!

The Donald doesn't care if the lame stream media covers his fake news, he is an attention hog, insecure and needy. He's making money for his "family" while Mitch is cooking up a plan to take MO' Money out of our pockets, and into the REAL people who deserve it. The hard working 1% of job creators and policy makers.

Bet you will gladly take your HUSH money and let 'em do it! You did before when Bush did it! Nothing has changed with repubs since Bush. Same plan different man. How'd that work out for us before?

oh yeah clete ...he sure is intimidating ....geesh . He is close to completely losing control of his own administration .He's not bullying anyone .

Tom, of course he is, but he isn't succeeding, unless you are employed by him

The whole point is staying out of Trump's way to see what the mid terms look like.

He is stupid

DONALD Trump reportedly revealed highly classified information to Russian diplomats during his meeting with them at the White House last week.



The Washington Post reports that Mr Trump jeopardised a critical source of US intelligence on the Islamic State by disclosing information that hadn’t even been shared with America’s allies.


“The information the President relayed had been provided through an intelligence-sharing arrangement considered so sensitive that details have been withheld from allies and tightly restricted even within the US government,” the paper reports.
The source in question, which is reportedly one of America’s foreign allies, has access to the “inner workings” of ISIS and had provided intelligence on one of the group’s plots. Mr Trump’s decision to share that intel without the ally’s permission could stop it from co-operating in the future.

Voice overheard in an Oval Office washroom stall, "Tee hee. I know stuff! Bad boy!"

ADDED: David Brooks has the same idea --

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/15/o...fied-data.html

They have been playing Trumps own words aimed at Hillary, all night. Now this Dufus has done what he claimed shouldn't be done, while everybody, even repubs are pulling their hair out over this latest fiasco!

Don't worry, by Friday it will be something new that this idiot has screwed up because orange man speak with forked tongue.

You would hope that is all it is but rangas have a way of proving stupid

He should use the Comey defense of Evita .' I did not 'intend' to reveal classified information.' I would also say that the Compost is owned by Amazon owner Jeff Bezos ,who has had a long running feud with herr Donald . Trump accused him of anti-trust violations and has threatened to use trust law to break up the Amazon monopoly.
I love the left's faux outrage. When the emperor revealed the name of the CIA station chief in Afghanistan all they did was a collective yawn.
Trump has not done his due diligence in sweeping the Obots out of the White House .Until he does ,there will be this steady drip ,drip ,drip of leaks from the Administration. It will be a daunting task . The emperor embedded hundreds of Obama-loyalists in key positions in the security apparatus of the country ;as well as other key executive dept desks .

Tell me Tom, how do you think Dump could clean the swamp when he is living in it and surrounded by Alligators? He can't do due diligence when his advisors are the very people he is hunting. What big teeth you have grandma? He needs to get at least one on side so they can tip him off to the others. He made the mistake of starting on the outskirts with the DAs instead of just kicking out everyone who had been appointed in the past eight years. And it is useless relying on his left leaning son-in-law

The ranga will become more unstable as he realises where he is, already some pictures show he has aged

LOL Tom. You blame Obama loyalists to the Dufus doing a half a$$ed job?

https://www.arcamax.com/newspics/153/15347/1534760.gif

yes I do blame Obots . Swamp creatures and retired swamp creatures demand anonymity from the Amazon Compost in order to discuss a meeting they did not attend. The readers are asked to take the leaked information as biblical truth without knowing the name of the official ,or even if that person holds/held any position of prominence . However you can evaluate the words and veracity of National Security Adviser, Gen. H.R. McMaster. He has spent a career defending the United States ; he was at the meeting,and he’s on the record,

... but he ain't God... Trump is! Even McMaster can be fired by the Orange One.

I'm sure he would depart with dignity and not disclose to anonymous worms that he kept secret notes of conversations with herr Donald.
