Then the mainstream media would discuss if maybe he had won the debate that night or not 😳
and cover him campaigning as if Yes this is vibrant and new this is OK .
Spanking for almost all of them too

Ultimately everyone who voted for him made their own choice

constantly retweeting NOAA tweets about Dorian.
This is probably the most presidential work he's done in 2.5 years... as long as we don't consider tweeting secret intel information "work".

He decided not to mark the start of WW2, but tweet about the people he's suing instead.

Of course, Russia invaded the eastern half of Poland a couple of weeks later, so Putin will be fine with him not marking the Nazi invasion of Poland - I don't think Putin would be welcome there this weekend.

Snip-"I would very much like you to know that, in this turbulent time, you can count on me to be a shoulder to cry on and a person with whom to further share details of the details you already shared."


Snip-"For example, what did you talk to reporters about re: Trump’s family? Does it have anything to do with Melania Trump, Donald Trump Jr., or perhaps Ivanka Trump? Tiffany, even? And I would be more than happy to take on any more information about these “Oval Office operations” that you previously discussed. I feel that it would really help you to get some more of this stuff off of your chest right now.

Or perhaps you would like to talk about the reported fact that Trump liked to call you “my beautiful beauty?” Haha. Was that weird? Maybe that wasn’t even remotely the weirdest thing about your job — again, please feel free to share with me any and everything about your time there. It can be an incredible source of comfort to vent to a new acquaintance, and let them write down what you said. Frankly, recording a conversation is more intimate and less distracting, so we could do that.

I’m available for dinner literally at any waking moment, day or night. Happy to come to you.

Sincerely,

26. Trump's Nondisclosure Agreements for Federal Employees Are Authoritarian and Unenforceable
Sat Aug 31, 2019, 01:58 PM
Aug 2019

This type of agreement is not enforceable https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2018/03/trumps-nondisclosure-agreements-for-federal-employees-are-authoritarian-and-unenforceable.html

These agreements are, in all likelihood, legally deficient in a fairly elementary way. Absent consideration (i.e., the thing received by contracting parties in exchange for their agreement to perform/remain silent/forego rights), any nondisclosure agreement would in all likelihood be deemed invalid. Any nondisclosure agreement entered into by a federal employee owing civil damages to any person, let alone the president, also begs the appalling question of what consideration those employees could possibly have received separate and apart from their salaries, which are statutorily prescribed and reported annually to Congress. If they did receive some benefit apart from their salaries—or if the job, and thus the salary, itself was contingent upon signing the agreement—it would be worth contemplating what laws such an arrangement might violate.

The far stronger likelihood is that consideration isn’t present here, rendering these alleged agreements little more than a bullying, speech-chilling, calculated bluff. Marcus cites a draft agreement that makes penalties payable to the federal government (as opposed to Trump personally), but it’s difficult to imagine how that bit of drafting slipperiness would matter, except to attempt to obfuscate that Trump is the real party to the agreement and federal employees are obligees. According to Marcus, some who were reluctant to sign ultimately did so because they figured they were unenforceable anyway. Barring some dark authoritarian turn in our other branches of government, these employees were absolutely correct about this last part.

These alleged nondisclosure agreements represent an attempt to purchase the free speech rights of federal employees for the sake of Trump’s personal protection, paid with only an empty, but perhaps effective, threat. To say such a threat cheapens the presidency grossly understates the constitutional repugnancy of these agreements. This effort reveals the president’s view of himself as an autocratic leader and of his place within the American system as being above it. It further demonstrates his blithering ignorance and disdain for even the simplest and purest of American concepts like free speech and public service.

That's who Trump is. He obsesses over slights, even decades-old slights. He never lets go and these angers grow and grow and they are taking him over. You can see the physical toll that being angry every waking hour (and his dreams are probably angry too) has taken on him. You can even hear it in his discombobulated speaking patterns.

24. trump is suing Omarosa on NDA with campaign and not on NDA from workng at white house
Sat Aug 31, 2019, 01:56 PM
Aug 2019

NDAs for public employees are not enforceable in the real world. trump is suing on NDA with campaign https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/can-trump-use-ndas-stop-white-house-staffers-omarosa-criticizing-ncna900706

On Tuesday it was reported that the Trump campaign has filed for arbitration against Manigault Newman, claiming that she broke a 2016 nondisclosure contract she signed during the 2016 presidential campaign. It's important to note here that an NDA signed by a campaign staffer is different from one signed by a government employee. A contract between a campaign staffer and a campaign is between private individuals. By contrast, a contract between a government employee and her employer raises different issues because a government employer is attempting to silence speech and prevent the public from learning about the work of public employees.

But Manigault Newman's ongoing dispute with Trump should not distract from broader issues of speech in the White House. When it comes to government employees, the name of the game is transparency. Absent issues related to classified information, we are entitled to know what public employees are doing.
