If you could give Donald Trump one piece of advice, what would it be?

Let's suppose Donald Trump sometimes reads DU. Here is your chance to give him some good advice. What one piece of advice would you want to give him?

Ten things that would probably happen if Trump attended a British state visit.

I've heard a lot of arguments why Trump should be disinvited from a state visit to Britain, but what would likely happen if the visit went ahead?


Based on past behavior:

1/ He would arrive to the biggest, anti-racism protests in British history.

2/ He would publicly insult somebody or a group of people in Britain.

3/ He would tell the British people they have a big problem with Muslims.

4/ He would boast about how he was right about Brexit.

5/ He would make a highly divisive speech with glaring British historical errors.

6/ He would be all over the British newspaper front pages for displaying his idiocy and bigotry.

7/ He would give the Queen the weirdest, longest, most disrespectful handshake ever.

8/ He would later claim the Queen supported him to defend his worst policies.

9/ He would get in a Twitter war with a British politician that disagreed with him.

10/ He would return to America and claim his visit was a big success and the British people loved him.

What stories are phony?: Don Lemon nails GOP pundits when they cant give fake news examples

"I’m asking what story specifically is phony or fake?” Lemon asked again.

“That’s he and Putin have a love fest for example,” Bauer said. “You keep pounding they have a bromance.”

The panel remarked that Trump compliments Putin every opportunity he gets. They refused to accept that the Russia story was “fake.”

“Ok, go on, give me the next one. What’s the next one?” Lemon asked.

“Where are the accolades for what Netanyahu actually said about Trump?” Bauer asked.

“Priebus talking about phony stories. Can anyone give me an example?” Lemon asked again.

“I don’t want to speak for Reince Priebus,” Bauer replied. “I don’t know what stories he’s talking about.”

78 percent of Germans concerned about lunatic in the White House

Trump is viewed with concern by 78 percent of respondents in Germany, an increase from 62 percent in January, according to the FG Wahlen poll for ZDF television. Fifty-eight percent take a similar view of Putin’s policies, while 40 percent expressed no major concern about the Russian president.

Why does Rasmussen Poll go UP when Trump is in crisis (9 points higher than average of other polls?

Has Rasmussen been bought?

If you average all the other Trump approval polls on RCP, you find that they are at around 44%, 9 points lower than Rasmussen.

Why does Trump get MORE support with Rasmussen (up 1 to 53%) when he faces his biggest crisis and everything he does turns to sh**?

http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/trump_administration/trump_approval_index_history

Why does Rasmussen show "country in right direction" at between 45% and 47% since Trump's inauguration? That is higher than at any time under Obama? It is hard to believe that with Trump as the so-called President almost half the nation think we are now heading in the right direction.

Can anyone explain this?

What will Trump's approval rating be on his 100th day? Make your predictions!

Everything he touches turns to sh""! He is pursuing a far-right trajectory that is unpopular outside his hard core base. Millions are protesting. The Russia influence story is now a crisis. The courts are against him! The media have now tasted blood! And this is only 24 days in!

He is currently at 44.3% average approval, according to Real Clear Politics. Predict Trump's approval rating on Day 100!

If Flynn is being blackmailed, it is a dead certainty that Trump is too, and why Trump is going down

Okay, we've already seen the dossier showing how Trump was compromised.

Even before that dossier became public, everything suggested that Trump was owned by the Russians - "a lot of money pouring in from Russia," according to Donald Trump Jr, because he is blacklisted by North American banks. Trump team meddling in the RNC with the Republican stance on Ukraine to favor Putin, Paul Manafort, previously advisor to Viktor Yanukovych, Ukraine's former president and pro-Putin, Rex Tillerson as Secretary of State, straight from heading Exxon to unlock sanctions on 60 million acres of Exxon land in Russia, etc., combined with Trump's praise for Putin while running down everything American, and knowing how unscrupulous Trump is in his business and in his public life, all point to Trump being a useful tool for Putin in exchange for a lot of money and a job that would satisfy his ego.

Everything fits. Now we are now learning that there is evidence Flynn is compromised.

Here's the question I ask: What are the chances that all this evidence that points to Trump being compromised by the Russians is all coincidence? It is coincidence he is so pro-Putin, has money pouring in from Russia to keep his business afloat, hired the Exxon CEO who is wholly unqualified to be Secretary of State, Paul Manafort, the dossier, etc, - what are the chances that all of that is just coincidence, and in addition it is also coincidence that his national security adviser just happens to be compromised by the Russians? It is so unlikely that you have to conclude that if Flynn is compromised, so is Trump.

If this is the end of Flynn, Trump is going down too, because, although conjecture may not be enough, the evidence is there and it will be found. The spy who was named as the source for the dossier has already been assassinated. This shows that the dark forces involved will stop at nothing, but there are also thousands of journalists and Western agents who will not stop until Trump is out.
