History may well condemn Donald Trump but it sure as Hell ought to condemn Hillary Clinton and Deborah Wasserman-Schultz.

But being a cynic, I'll wait and see whether he delivers on that pledge, or whether I'll be filing that phrase alongside "Better Together" (a forgettable Remain in EU slogan), "Take Back Control", "Brexit means Brexit", "Red, white and blue Brexit" and that golden oldie from 2007: "British jobs for British workers". IMO only one standard should be used when judging ALL politicians (thanks "MegaForce"): But I digress - my point was that for Trump to pontificate about the media reporting of the crowd size at his inauguration on his first full day, didn't make him look Presidential. It made him look petty. But hey - Trump is the Prez now, so he's going to do things his way.

Because of the position he holds, this con man will have to be treated gingerly by other world leaders. On a personal level I suspect they will see him as the ignorant man-child that he is. I suppose one would have expected a backlash against Obama rule and the democratic party's obsessiveness with identity politics and a general disdain for blue collar America, but to have this obscene and infantile narcissist be the instrument of that backlash carries heavy consequences for the country and indeed the world at large. For me it is not about policy with Trump...though I disagree with him on pretty much everything. Its him. He is not fit for the office. He is the classic demagogue that appeals to the basest of our natures. To anyone who gives a single damn about democracy, this should be a time of great apprehension.

Mal: you should run in 2020. I understand Mr Obama's got a good mate who can help you out with the paperwork.

If Trump starts making excuses I'll start to turn against him because I've heard all the excuses I can stomach the last eight years.People making excuses can't be very sharp because an excuse is an admission of failure.Trump has dealt with people all over the world his whole life,something Obama didn't do and it showed,he never made a deal,he gave in before they ever started talking,something Carter was good at too.I think and hope Trump will make good deals because it will embarrass him if he can't.That's one of the things that makes him different from what we've had,he can be embarrassed.

Russian president Vladimir Putin will call newly sworn-in President Trump in the coming days, a Kremlin spokesman said early Saturday.
Hmmm.... SCENE: The White House Receptionist: President Trump? I have President Vladimir Putin on line #3. President Trump: Great - put him through. President Putin: Hello. Is that President Donald Trump? President Trump: This is he. President Putin: Why don't you pass the time by playing a little solitaire?

A dignified silence would be better but He can't keep silent and He has little in the way of dignity..

It wouldn't take the Liberal media ten days to completely ruin him if he sat back and said nothing.I think you'll see a major change in the media in the next four years also because the people have had enough of them too.

I saw a Young Turks article which shed a sidelight on this matter. Cenk Uygur, their co-host (the other main anchor being Anna Kasparian) was intriguingly detached and objective about the victory of Donald Trump, even though he hates the man and doesn't try to pretend otherwise. There seemed to be a level on which he has more respect (a lot more respect) for Mr Trump than for Mrs Clinton. Here's why. The Young Turks is an openly progressive channel and makes no bones about it; with them, in terms of political bias, what you see is what you get. The point Mr Uygur made is that their viewer demographic should have been a priority target for the Democrats, but in fact the Democrats did not advertise or make any political broadcasts on TYT at all, none whatsoever. They had a lot of money to spend and they used this as economic power to try to dictate the stance of the media: TYT preferred to run stories which were harshly critical of Mrs Clinton and it was made clear that they were being deprived of advertising revenue by the Democrats for exactly this reason. I feel respect for Mr Uygur on this matter. He defied pressure to spin the news in favour of a party with a lot of lettuce to offer because he preferred to tell it like he sees it. He didn't try very hard to conceal his glee that the Democrats came badly unstuck and did point out that they preferred to try and fail to blackmail his channel than to accept his editorial independence and to advertise anyway, and take an opportunity to communicate with an important progressive-leaning viewer audience. Channels such as CNN and MSNBC and Fox News can now be outflanked by The Young Turks and others. They are no longer the gatekeepers between the facts and the US viewing public. They are in danger because their sleight of hand has failed; a lot of viewers no longer trust them.
