Re: U.S President: Donald Trump
 

Trump is getting wise to the fact that some of his alt-right mates just can't cut the butter. We saw that recently with his approach to Stephen Bannon. When a PR person becomes the story and not the story they're trying to put across then they've failed. Spicer's appalling judgment makes United Continental look a class act. I can see Trump sidelining him.

Yet another fail from the Fail....

$3miilion should buy Melania a new pair of shoes, nice ;)

Re: U.S President: Donald Trump
 

Yes, I remember that bit in the press conference, when Spicer started physically beating up one of the press guys. Shocking, absolutely shocking!


Andrew, he messed up his wording, that's all. He corrected and acknowledged it later in the same press conference, and apologised later.


You do realise that the only man who never made a mistake, is the man who never did anything, don't you?

Re: U.S President: Donald Trump
 

He didn't just mess up the wording. The very compassion was poor and that's what he apologised later for.

Re: U.S President: Donald Trump
 

That's not all, its true you do learn something new everyday as it turns out he was factually incorrect to, hitler did use chemical weapons on the battlefield at the seige of Sevastopol, Odessa and Adzhimushkay quarry and the allies hands weren't clean either

Re: U.S President: Donald Trump
 

I'm glad I'm on a forum with so many perfect people, who always get facts right and never mess up.


You guy's truly are unique.


Strange that I managed to get the point that he was making, even though it was clumsily made. As the Americans say, 'Go figure!'.

your honor mr iltah isn't here to defend himself - move to strike testimony :)

Re: U.S President: Donald Trump
 

I've made dozens of mistakes on here, thing is even on something as mundane as a forum I've never claimed something to be a fact when I wasn't sure of it and i got the point he was making, turns out though not only was it crass and insensitive it was also wrong, call me a mad old fool but I prefer it when people in authority don't make childish errors like that and on balance it sums the guy up, out of his depth, he's not waving he's drowning.

Re: U.S President: Donald Trump
 

Yes it is very typical that the Democrats are insisting on Sean Spicer's sacking. But not once did I hear them saying Hillary Clinton should withdraw from the election race when it came out she received the questions prior to a TV debate between her and Bernie Sanders. Now it serves them right, propping up the wrong candidate and they are still losing as Republican, Ron Estes, won congress seat for State of Kansas last night. Trump territory, so safe Republican seat.

Re: U.S President: Donald Trump
 

No, it's the point people are objecting too. We get the point.

It's isn't justified to make the comparison that Hitler didn't use chemical weapons in the field as if that's any sort of difference from what he did use it for. (Also factually untrue but that isn't so widely known).

Now he has apologized for that and so whatever it's your continued defense of the point he was making in the briefing even after he himself has retracted it that's continuing this.

That was the one that had a 24 point swing from the Republicans to the Democrats right? The Democrats will be happy with that. They're not going to win every seat in the country even in a landslide but if safe Republican seats are seeing 24 point swings they'll be optimistic (A similar swing in the midterms will see then win the house in a landslide).

Re: U.S President: Donald Trump
 

Agreed. To continue to defend Spencer's words when he himself has taken them back is something I'm unable to fathom.

Re: U.S President: Donald Trump
 

You really are missing the point. He messed up. He apologised. Was it an intentional slur on the Jewish people? No way. Time to forgive the guy for messing up and move on.

Re: U.S President: Donald Trump
 

I think you've failed to recall my initial point - I feel Spencer's poor judgment will mean that Trump will sideline him. We're not talking a typo in a press release but the extraordinarily poor judgment of attempting to benchmark Assad to Hitler.
Spencer further compounded the misjudgment by a multitude of inaccurate statements:
- he said Hitler never gassed people
- he called concentration camps "holocaust centres"
- he tried to differentiate between Hitler's "own people" and victims of the holocaust.
I'm sure people will forgive him but Spencer's going to have to be super good for Trump not to sideline him.

Re: U.S President: Donald Trump
 

I really hope he doesn't. And I have great concern for anyone who works for you and makes a mistake.


'poor judgment': He got himself tied up in knots and fumbled over words. It happens to all of us from time to time.

Re: U.S President: Donald Trump
 

Comparing someone to Hitler is not fumbling over words, it's a deliberate strategy. It's not my call but Trump is starting to sideline and remove those in his team whom he perceives not to be delivering.
