    it's not odd at all if you're being honest but you're not. bachelor/bachelorette parties, guys/girls night out, everyone jokes about obscene and crazy crap. sure it's not all the time but we all have at least once said crazy **** to be funny or brag or impress or whatever. now i'm not condoning it or encouraging it just simply stating the hypocrisy and the fact that who gives a ****. it's not that important. it's just machismo talk not actions. I mean hell Billy Clinton used a chick has a humidor for godsakes. He didn't talk about it (well i'm sure he told her what he was going to do in some weird sexual dirty talk or something) to his friends he facking did it LOL!!! And before you say consensual or whatever bullshit, chick didn't wake up that day thinking to herself, I can't wait to force him to use me as a humidor ahaha!!! Hey, I didn't care then and don't care now but Billy Clinton is a dude just like ya'll but ya'll acting like castrated alter boys.

    You do realize that this man is now President of the United States, don't you? This isn't a reality show. This isn't an exercise in getting the press to cover a new hotel or golf course he's opening. The man is now President. Are your expectations so low that Trump can get away with anything? His press secretary told a bald-faced lie to the nation's news media (that's the press, as in, "Spicer's the press secretary."), acted pissed off, and then left without taking any questions. You know what a press secretary is supposed to do, don't you? So what is your opinion on the shockingly bizarre first interaction between the Trump White House and the nation's press? We know what one of Trump's top advisers thinks about what Spicer said, and didn't say. Ms. Conway described it on arguably the top Sunday news show, Meet the Press. She described Spicer's outright lie as "alternative facts." How can we believe anything that comes out of the White House when Trump's spokesperson lies in his first act as press secretary and refuses to answer questions? It is outrageous.

    And now, trump adviser Newt Gingrich is suggesting that non-press people be allowed to also attend and participate in press conferences. I can see it now...
    Trump: "You over there, the hot looking blonde girl in the back row, do you have a question?"
    Hot looking blonde girl: "Yes, dad, I mean Mr. President, what is your awesome plan to build a beautiful wall along the border?"

    To be fair he didn't say those words while being potus. Wouldn't want fake news to spread you know. That said, no he can't and shouldn't get away with anything. He doesn't have to be aristocratic or elitist but he can't be acting a fool now.

    My opinion on the recent press conference and discussion was already stated. Trump's entire lively hood for 40+ years is based on brand licensing. His actual name is an intangible asset that he has used to make a living/fortune. Any negative news against him (his brand) could impact his livelihood. Except now, he is potus which is a problem he has to sort out. I think he will but it might take him some time. But as I said earlier, I challenge any of you to stop doing something very important to you that you've done everyday for 40+ years immediately. I'll be waiting.

    Amazing the lengths you go to defend Trump. His highly offensive comments about sexually assaulting women. His (and his direct reports') outright lies to the press and general public. I guess Trump was right when he said this about you and the rest of his supporters:

    This has nothing to do with his brand, and even if it did....it shouldn't.

    The issue is that he can't take (light) criticism without going off the deep end, and that's not a good temperament for the most powerful man in the free world to have. If he's going to throw a hissy fit over something as meaningless as inauguration attendance, that doesn't bode well for the next 4 years....unless you're a comedian in search of endless material.

    Weakness like that will be exposed and mercilessly used against him.

    Clutch, please delete the post above. I am no longer concerned about our President's temperament. As he says in the video above, he has a winning temperament.

    None of us became President of the United States the other day. You're comparing apples to a living breathing orange. WTF has he been doing since November? If he doesn't understand that he can't put his brand before his job by now, will he ever?

    The actual fact (not the alternative ones) is that he, his press secretary, and his surrogates on the Sunday shows lied. Period.

    The Trump Presidency will be exactly like the Trump campaign. So all of you who thought to yourselves, "Damn that election was terrible; I'm glad it's over." Well, it's not over. We have 4 more years of it, and probably another 4 after that.

    I hope you are working to mentally prepare yourselves.

    Every day, I really get to enjoy the gnashing of teeth of the far left...both here and in the press.

    The gift that keeps on giving.

    How does one disagree with a fact?

    Classic misdirection. While we are distracted by the "size of the crowd" kerfuffle and other non-news related bullshit, he will be signing executive orders and taking other actions that will cripple this country for years.

    Probably true, and I'd suspect that a way to distract from the imagery of the Women's March also contributed to these actions by Trump and his team.

    I actually think you're giving him too much credit.

    As seemingly mundane as all of this is, I really do think he's sincerely miffed about it. He is that petty.

    No doubt about it - the man is just broken, and not worthy of the office.

    Some people just want to see things burn, so they vote for him out of spite, these are trolls and sad people in real life.

    Very few "Decent" people are real life Trump supporters.

    The guy is a proven liar, a narcissist, misogynist, and can't take criticism. He has surrounded himself with weak minded "Yes" people and as a result will end up making major mistakes and imploding upon himself.

    because many supposed facts are actually not. so many examples in history prove this but here is a simple example.

    1+1=2 is a fact or is it? not if you meant, 1of+1pair=
