Trump “I hate everyone in the White House!” (Vanity Fair)

I mean he's always looked terrible but is it me or is the 'Presidential Ageing' process already kicking in with the Cheeto-in-Chief?

SAD!

That's probably one of the more flattering images of him I've seen.

And that says alot.

I hope the fat fuck stays miserable.

It is only fair considering the hell he has put this country through in his first fucking year.

The article goes on to say that Kelly and Mattis have been discussing what to do if Trump was to fire a nuclear first.

Welll, that conversation didn't necessarily happen. Just speculation that it did from another official. Because, honestly, what could they do at that point?

One former official even speculated that Kelly and Secretary of Defense James Mattis have discussed what they would do in the event Trump ordered a nuclear first strike. “Would they tackle him?” the person said.

I'm so confused. People say him getting removed is a long shot, yet 30% chance he's staying the full term?

Or do they mean he's leaving himself? I don't think so!

He leaves in a body bag. This job is taking years off of his life.

Who knew that electing an uneducated, inexperienced, inept, egomaniac with compulsive lying and narcissistic personality disorders would be so terrible at doing the hardest job in the world?

I wish nothing but the worst misery for this piece of shit. May his suffering continue on into his prison sentence.

Maybe it's just blind hope but I get the feeling the tide is beginning to turn on Trump. His approval numbers are at an all time low, he's miserable and lashing out at everyone, he can't get anything done legislatively, and we finally have a few Republicans speaking out publicly against him. Plus the shadow of Mueller is constantly hanging over his head.

I'm optimistic that he won't last another 6 months. Maybe it's just wishful thinking but I hope not.

He's an obese, angry, 71-year old that sprays himself orange every morning.

He looks awful, and it's going to get worse.
 
He won't quit because of a combination of ego and his pardons, but Mueller is going to tear his business to the ground before all is said and done and he cares way more about that than the presidency.

They would stop him. Those dudes are marines and well respected. If Trump said Fire le Mizzles, they would say don't and it wouldn't happen.

Don't get me wrong, the Constitutional crisis and chain of command would be bonkers at this point, but he can't just flip a nuclear switch. There are people that would have to do it...and those people would listen to themselves, Mattis and/or Kelly.

Mattis and Kelly would not sit idly by if a sitting U.S. President was about to start nuclear WWIII.
 
What I read between the lines here is that Trump has already talked about nuking someone, and they told him he'd get impeached if he ordered it.

So basically: same chance he orders a nuclear strike as him ordering Mueller fired.

Its wishful thinking.

If you ever want to make yourself miserable turn on Fox News for 10 minutes. Or talk to someone from the South or a small town.

They are still solidly behind him. Which to me is even worse than all the horrible things this horrible fatass has said and done since he got into office.

Damn, didn't know the situation with Kelly was so bad. And he promoted him to Chief of Staff because he liked him!

I mean... I know this sounds ridiculous to say out loud (almost as ridiculous as it would have sounded to seriously suggest that Trump would be President a year and a half ago), but a part of me does fear him pressing the button just to spite people. Trump has proven himself time and time again to be an absolute terrible human being with almost no redeeming qualities. I don't think it's absolutely crazy to envision him at the end of his rope with nothing left just saying "fuck it, let's hit North Korea... hell, maybe launch a few towards China and see what happens". It sounds so stupid to say that, but the fact that I'm even capable of thinking something like that scares the fuck outta me. I don't doubt a few of you haven't pictured the same scenario. It's useless fretting, but my god did we really fuck up electing this man to office.

Bullshit. This job takes nothing off him, because he gives it nothing. He is constantly winging it! He’s off every weekend, relaxing at Trump Golf Clubs.

There are 15 members of his Cabinet and the VP.

Nine of them can invoke the 25th amendment and remove him from office (if I'm reading it correctly: "Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments")

I can see the following voting to remove him:

Pence
Tillerson
Mattis
Perry

I think that's a solid number to start convincing couple of more Cabinet members to remove Trump from Office.
 
Terrifying sentence.

We truly have a mad king running things.

My father-in-law has spent months away from home this year testing missile defense systems. And Matthis has instructed the military to be ready for war with North Korea. Yet the people and many in the mass media continue to dismiss Trump. Tens of millions of lives are at risk as long as he's in power.

What makes you think Pence would go for this? He's been nothing but a loyal cronie.

Pence going to the others and telling them their deregulation agenda won't be impeded at all by booting Trump would easily accelerate this too, IMO. No honor among thieves and all.

He'd get to be President?

I hope we all survive this to at least get to read the tell all books. Well, at least the news articles about them because no way does anyone complicit get my money.

In that case he might want to wait long enough until he can run for another 2 terms.

Pence was put there by the GOP, not Trump.

Trump had regrets of naming him his VP.

I'm sure the GOP's instructions to Pence were to act loyal and serve as their eyes and ears.

God willing, he isn't in office by this time next year. Be it for health, sanity, or for the safety of Americans.

I remember hearing a story from a guy who was in charge of launching the missiles. He said that there’s little stopping the president from doing it if he really wanted to.
 
i hope he fucking suffers

i fucking hope he is hating his life

i hope he gets an impassible kidney stone

Yep, I really hope all this stress and discomfort leads to serious health issues and he dies from a massive heart attack. I've never really hated anyone before but I cannot stand this piece of shit.

Carson + Mulvaney as well, maybe even Mnuchin. It's way more feasible if he (or plans to) orders something crazy like a first strike.

Agreed. We should be starting a head count on who can and cannot be moved.
