Trump talks rather than speaks. Get used to it.

Netherlands broadcasting group (VPRO) roasts Trump...and us a little too.

This is all fun and games until Trump loses his toupe...

Ha ha!

I've cycled over the Afsluitdijk (at 1:03).

It's huge. The biggest. I had a big tailwind. The best tailwind.

:)

So did I with tailwind...if you get headwind it's "hell on the afsluitdijk" ;)

The room at CIA HQ where he gave his speech having a bit of moan and a boast was the CIA's shrine to officers who died in service. Only two Presidents have ever spoken there, the second being Obama praising the CIA after Bin Laden's killin, so generally taken seriously and treated with respect.,
Trump's team sent him and a bunch of party cheerleaders to whoop it up on command in the secret service's war memorial. That will go down well.

Trump and the TPP. As it seems to have already been dead, has he played the press? Supporters over the moon, impact near nil?

We've had this right?
This keeps popping up in my head.

he claims

Because he is a beacon of truth, after all.

I rather fancy that his entire business empire is mortgaged to foreign creditors, and that it only his "celebrity" that makes him any money at all.

Any time that he did make real money, he did so by cutting corners, and bending / breaking the law as much as possible.

Breathtakingly incoherent

Ah repeal of the global gag rule... That'll teach those women marching in protest.

well he must be doing something right, otherwise why would all those cia people [applause] for him?

You wonder the hell is in her pre nup that makes remaining with him her best option.

Amazing... Straight out of a Mexican telenovela...

On the longer non slo-mo clip it looks more like she has an expression of terror throughout, apart from when trump turns to look at her and she switches on a smile for him. Shrug.

teamsters approve trumps first few executive orders

noting to see here move along

Jimmy Hoffa's son runs the Teamsters??? Roflcopter GIF

Surely that comes as no surprise. AFL-CIO welcomed withdrawal from TTIP too. Clinton was (nominally) against it. Saunders probably would've done the same in his first few days. It's exactly the type of thing that made Trump an option for working class voters.
