Ice cream-gate

[yankintx]

Is there some reason you're unable to focus on the thread topic and insist on reverting to this?

Two scoops ? I think the Liar in Chief prefers two handfulls.

Careful what ya ask for

 

[yankintx]

So do you think that the President has forbidden others from having two scoops? Really?

Have you seen Trumps fat arse climbing into that helicopter? He should switch to fat free. I understand why his wife sleeps in another State.

It was reported that President Trump had 3 eggs for breakfast this morning, while everyone else had 2. Confidential sources reported that Vladimir Putin eats 4 eggs for breakfast everyday, and President Trump has been said to admire a egg eating man. Chuck Schumer has demanded that an independent investigator be created to look into this travesty of injustice, or the Democrats will have to shut down the government. Bernie Sanders has said that egg eating is not a privilege but a basic human right.Rachel Madcow has said we need to know if they were scrambled, fried, or boiled, because that will prove his sanity. CNN has said they will further investigate this matter, because it is proof of the intolerance, and bigotry that runs rampant in the current administration. (author unknown)

Maxine Waters has called for impeachment over his egg-eating....and that chickens are invading Korea.
Al Sharpton mumbled something about eggs being racist, therefore Trump is racist.

Considering the things that Trump tweets (often at 3 AM), getting mad about what others tweet is....well I'll let you fill in the blank.

So you admit the media shouldn't be taken seriously, either.

Both are showboats, and grandstanding. Maybe Trump can fire them as well.

This thread isn't about bad press; it's about pointless, silly press.

It still is much ado about nothing.

As a leader and a role model to the world, the president's behavior, including his eating habits, matters. Sorry, but Trump fat shamed Mrs. America, he's getting his 2 scoops in return, and we all know it. If most of his diet is bad, that's a problem. If he splurged and they tried to distort it, that would not be cool IMO. Remember, he did pine poetic about that big chocolate cake too, while saying he fired missiles at Iraq.

Part of America eats like ****. We went from food scarcity, to widespread food availability that was horrendous for a person to eat on a regular basis. We're swinging back now to healthier food, more/all natural, less processed, less sugar, less saturated fat, etc. If Obama helped lead that, good on him. If Trump's taking us back to the little-debbie-days, shame on him.

I think given the number of things on the internet right now nota-bene, an article about how a role model as powerful as Trump, in a piece about eating healthy...it's not high on the importance scale, but it's a helluva lot higher than probably 70% of what someone could read on the internet at any given time.

Not to worry, the twit n chief will be tweeting exactly what he had for breakfast along with his healthcare plan. Which will be the greatest! LOL!

And when you answer your own question with that degree of hostility and disingenuity, it doesn't provide much incentive to answer it otherwise does it.

I quoted you and asked for examples that would explain to others what you meant.

If you are upset that I listed things Trump promised to do which I liked, but that Trump has seemingly forgotten about (being charitable - I could just call B.S.), then just ignore that. Don't be such a snowflake. I take it you just can't answer the question? If not, why did you make the statements?

Telling people what they can and cannot eat is a level of pettiness unprecedented.

Oh wait a minute.

"School kids around the country are tweeting rather unfortunate pictures of the meals they're being served at lunchtime, and thanking first lady and healthy school food advocate Michelle Obama for their bowls of mush and mystery proteins. "

So you admit that Trump shouldn't be taken seriously? Sounds like just what we want out of the Leader of the Free World!

I think this has to be the silliest political news story so far this year. Unfortunately I will not be surprised if even silliers ones come out later on.

Trump has been in office less than four months. When you declare him a failure or he has discarded all those things he has promised just because he hasn't already accomplished them and you don't see anything he has accomplished, I don't take your 'compliments' as real compliments at all.

He managed to at least begin the process of healthcare reform by getting a very reluctant House of Representatives to finally get a bill out there. In order to get the final omnibus bill of the Obama administration budget passed, he had to delay work on the wall until the new budget in the fall, but he has no way given up on it. He managed to persuade a very reluctant and resistant House of Representatives to finally get the ball rolling on healthcare reform, something that is desperately needed and must happen before serious tax reform can happen.
That would not be happening without his working pretty much around the clock to get it done.

And as for those executive orders, here's a pretty good list of what he has accomplished that he was able to do on his own:

A lot of what Trump says? Nope. That aside, the term "Leader of the Free World" is stupid. He's the leader of the U.S., full stop.

The President of the United States is traditionally seen as leader of the free world. You've just given Trump a demotion. Good job.

I'm waiting to find out if he folds or wads his TP. You can tell a lot about a man, that way!
We must get to the bottom of this. I demand a special investigation, now!

How much does it matter whether a President has two scoops of ice cream or only one? In an article at the Federalist entitled "This One Screenshot Captures Everything Wrong with Media Coverage of Trump," this issue is addressed. Screenshot Captures Everything Wrong With Media Coverage Of Trump

*chyron: an electronically generated caption superimposed on a television or movie screen.

As cited in the article, David Frum (The Atlantic) quoted the Time magazine article about Trump being the only person being given two servings of sauce for his chicken, his having Thousand Island salad dressing while others had vinaigrette, and etc. and tweeted, "This explains a lot." https://twitter.com/davidfrum?ref_src=twsrc^google|twcamp^serp|twgr^author

Also cited is Jennifer Rubin's (conservative columnist at WaPo who doesn't like Trump) tweeted response to Frum: "a man unable to restrain his urges."

I guess Twitter is here to stay, but I find jarring the trivial crap like this being made much of interspersed with serious tweets about policy and news. Maybe Trump isn't the only one who should stick to the serious/legit on social media.

My guess is that if the Chinese diplomat had asked for rice rather than the noodles, or the vegetarian didn't want meat, or the Jew would eat only Kosher the staff would have went out of its way to accommodate. That what competent staffs do.

The left has clearly run out of valid points. Now on to the trivial.

Yes, so ego has been the standard for a while. That chances nothing from what I said. Can the President override the Canadian Prime Minister? No? Is Canada not a free nation? Oh...then what's the U.S. President a leader of again? Oh...just the U.S.

That stupid mentality is what has gotten us into endless wars.

That screenshot is just embarrassing. Breaking news!

The MSM retracts and apologizes, Trump not so much. Which one lies more ?

The MSM by far.

You, a Trump supporter, have demoted Trump just for the sake of disagreeing with me. I gave him the respect that goes with his position, you demoted him because a liberal said it. Which just proves that you guys are fresh out of ideas except for new ways to troll the left.

 

[ThoughtEx.]

I'm so tired of this bull. The media beats up on Trump, because despite what his supporters want you to think, most of the nation doesn't like him. It's a business move. Say bad things about people who the public disproves of, and sell more ad time or papers, or ad space from increased traffic. Say good things about people the public is fond of, and sell more ad time or papers, or ad space from increased traffic.

The most accurate poll anyone can look at is web traffic. Because that's where the money is. Journalists chase dirt on unpopular people to increase traffic. Not because they have some liberal agenda. Seriously, what is this agenda. Everyone talks like there is some liberal manifesto bible type book all liberals have to follow. If you don't like your President being beat up by the media, don't elect one that is easy (so easy) to hate.

The media criticize how much ice cream he had, or eggs he ate. Because people will consume that criticism, it will confirm their bias. That's not on the media, who are just supplying content for a demand. That's on the people who create that demand. Until you make the media into a not for profit entity, this will never change. Whether a democrat or a Republican, is president.

The Media's war on Trump, is just a reflection of the consumer's opinion of him. They are entertained by criticism of him, so they seek it out. And the media is all to happy to supply. Are you saying they should cut their business' throat just to appease people who wouldn't read their paper or watch their show anyway?

Don't blame the media because you support an easy mark they can profit from. Blame Ronald Reagan for ending the Fairness Doctrine. Another example of Ronald Reagan selling us out to special interest, and it coming back to bite his party square in the ass.

Anybody who cares that Trump has two scoops of ice cream or that Obama golfed a bit is already a hate filled zealot that is beyond any reason...

Do you even understand how stupid the point you're trying to make is? Almost as dumb as most of Trump's tweets. The "demotion" you're talking about is silly and it's born out of a crap foreign policy of interventionism.
