The National Enquirer and owner, Dumps mate, did buy up the Trump affair stories so they could bury them on trump's behalf to help him get elected and are now under Mueller investigation, Bezos owns WoPo one of the biggest critic of Dump, so it's political for sure

Nope, they haven't just picked on world's richest man Bezos expose is inextricably linked to Trump via NE's owners and past history. Enquirer and American Media inc. say they will drop story if he stops investigating them

Bezos, who owns The Washington Post, wrote that the Enquirer wanted him to make a false public statement that he and his security consultant, Gavin de Becker, “have no knowledge or basis for suggesting that AMI’s coverage was politically motivated or influenced by political forces.”

it's political

There was an article in the Guardian about this a few weeks ago.

Tends to raise more questions than it answers but worth a read if the psychology of the dic pick is of interest...

I hope he hasn't shaken hands with Trump then, if I'd been unfortunate enough to have done so I'd have had my hands in disinfectant for hours afterwards!

It didn't come to pass but obviously him being on Fox News, he was considered to run a department employing 360,000 people : https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics ... 3e0f7245b3

Dumps held a Rally in El Paso last night, also Democratic hopeful Beto O'Rourke held a competing rally a quarter of a mile away. Dump stated 'Beto has 200 people at his rally, I have 35,000 people here, you lost Beto, give up" The fire dept and police stated that at most Dump had 10-12,000 people, they estimated O'Rourks at 15,000 crowd....

I can't see the appeal of turning up to either event. I mean do you have to buy the massive foam finger or do they give them away. The adulation on some of the crowds faces means they obviously get something that I don't.

Your pusherman is letting you down.

But my understand is you get props and placards at the door. For free as they say.

I think rallies are self-energising but not in the brain department.

Trumpf wouldn't be in office if there was a 'brain department'.

'not many' or 'many'? can't be both. I'd suggest such starry-eyed folk are comparatively rare and don't take long to grow out of it.

unfortunately it is many and no they don't - they just turn into clubbie dullard starry eyed dullards.

This copied from another place, which in turn had copied it from another place, and so on.... worth reading:

Someone on Quora asked "Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?" Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England wrote this magnificent response.

A few things spring to mind.

Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem.

For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace - all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed.

So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.

Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing - not once, ever.

I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility - for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman.

But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is - his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty.

Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers.

And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults - he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness.

There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface.

Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront.

Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul.

And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist.

Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that.

He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat.

He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege.

And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully.

That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead.

There are unspoken rules to this stuff - the Queensberry rules of basic decency - and he breaks them all. He punches downwards - which a gentleman should, would, could never do - and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless - and he kicks them when they are down.

So the fact that a significant minority - perhaps a third - of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think 'Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that:

Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are.
You don't need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man.
This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss.

After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of sh1t. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum.

God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid.

He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart.

In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws - he would make a Trump.

And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish:

'My God… what… have… I… created?

If being a twat was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set.

That did make me laugh, I particularly like the phrase “he’s a fat white slug, a Jabba the Hutt of privilege”

So drumph has gone nuclear on the wall, by saying a national emergency will be declared to build the wall shortl. Bound to divide his own party when pelosi calla a motion against it and a number of repugs will vote against it, even by dotards standards this seems a crazy tactic.
