Have people really not heard the "laugh up your sleeves" turn of phrase? I mean, the tweet's still hilariously blind, but not gonna fault Trump for the phrase.

no i havent

i imagine most people dont use it because it makes no sense

 

[Ran rp]

Well that was fun. You can kick me out of the simulation now!

 

[Ferrio]

No, I haven't. Not once.

"laugh up /in one's sleeve, to be secretly amused or contemptuous; laugh inwardly:"

Bunch of Drax in here.

 

[Netherscourge]

He created a Catch-22 for himself by stating he doesn't watch CNN/NBC/ABC/CBS anymore, because they are "Fake News".

He can't come right out and insult their anchors anymore, or it proves he's still watching those channels.

So now he's got to deflect and project and give free plugs to Fox and Friends all day long, who are still crying about Hillary's emails.

 

[Pixels]

Well that was fun. You can kick me out of the simulation now!

I can't figure out what that tweet means.

 

[Jackpot]

This has nothing to do with the news' crediblity. People were shrugging off the local reporter because she wasnt on CNN and telling people to stop discussing the news. Thats annoying as fuck.

Also what fake news? The latest story has not only been confirmed but is being corroborated by others.

Hey guy, you realise your original post is still up right?

With quotes specifically relating to Louise Mensch and a random Redditer? Not the raid. The former are "tales from my ass" category.

Maybe try not to double down on a lie when you're counting on people to forget what you posted a few minutes ago.

It's old, but it makes sense.

 

[Deaf Spacker]

That New Yorker cover is something else.

 

[Netherscourge]

OMG - he's replying to comments now.

LOL

He took the bait.

 

[Dead Prince]

He's the president? He's supposed to able to prevent the US from tearing itself apart?

today he's not president

 

[Darryl M R]

If the situation comes where Trump knows everything is falling down I expect a tweet like "They are trying to overrun the government. Sad! Fight back!"

today he's not president

Can we get Van on the phone for when he is again?

 

[Linkura]

Explain?

Uh, it's fucking awesome? I'm not sure what there is to explain?

 

[Pastry]

OMG - he's replying to comments now.

LOL

He took the bait.

What?

 

[Maxim726X]

Laughing up their sleeves...?

Good one, Mr. President.

Hope so. Can't believe Van Jones said that shit still.

It means to stealthily laugh, basically laughing while covering your face, thus laughing in your sleeves.

 

[LiK]

He's probably taking shit and seething with anger.

 

[Ac30]

🎼 How low can your approval gooooo~ 🎼

LUMS

 

[Sweeney Tom]

@BraddJaffy
.@Rosie texts @NicolleDWallace about Trump’s tweet: “It’s a clear indication of his seriously declining mental health. This is no joke.”

I'm giggling up my own Gigli gourd, as Trump would say and defenders would shout in unison

 

[Isaac Otherworld]

It means to stealthily laugh, basically laughing while covering your face, thus laughing in your sleeves.

But what if you don't have a shirt on?

 

[EatinOlives]

Drumpf is getting more and more paranoid. Is this finally the end?

But why would Russia, who CLEARLY had nothing to do with the election, laugh about this at all??????

 

[GAMEPROFF]

If the situation comes where Trump knows everything is falling down I expect a tweet like "They are trying to overrun the government. Sad! Fight back!"

Exactly this is going to happen. And since most of Trumps supporters are gun-loving idiots, I am seriously concerned about what is about to happen and how many people would die.
Is the national guard allowed to fight back in a case like this?

 

[dickroach]

seething up his sleeves!

They're laughing at those ridiculous dems, of course.

Looked like they were openly laughing right along with Comrade Cheeto in those photos from yesterday.

 

[Tovarisc]

Jake Tapper "President, thank you for watching", as read Trump's latest tweet.

 

[Kurtofan]

boy that temperament

 

[Arrogant Bastard]

Watching him crumble on Social Media is glorious.

It really is. Jesus, he isn't gonna make it. I would love to be a fly on the wall, I bet his rage level is so fucking high right now.

 

[norm9]

Pretty tough few days for the face that runs the place. Might be time to hightail it to Maralago until things cool down.

 

[Brandon F]

One official definition:

laugh up /in one's sleeve, to be secretly amused or contemptuous; laugh inwardly:
to laugh up one's sleeve at someone's affectations.

 

[BlueTsunami]

The desperation is... palpable. Wheres the fun times poke at the left Presidente.

 

[Brandon F]

When do we send in Bauer to clean out the building?

Well the Russians might have that fly on the wall due to having certain individuals at the Oval Office. You can try asking them lol

 

[PantherLotus]

And you all think this can possibly sustain itself? No freaking way.

Hey now i'll not have you besmirch the name of AJ styles.

 

[LegendofJoe]

The moment Trump preemptively accused Hillary and the Democrats of voter fraud back when be thought he would lose was exactly when I went from cautiously considering to fully believing the Russian collusion rumors. It proved to me beyond a shadow of a doubt that he was working to foment distrust and disillusionment among the American citizenry.

 

[Kyzer]

They must be...laughing up their sleeves?

 

[Netherscourge]

They must be...laughing up their sleeves?

They laugh Sovietly up their sleeves.

 

[TAJ]

YOU MET WITH THEM YESTERDAY YOU PIECE OF SHIT

I just

I can't

Also what the fuck does "laughing up their sleeves" even MEAN

Probably a saying he learned from his buddy who's boss of the Russian mob in New York.

 

[Kyzer]

They laugh Sovietly up their sleeves.

In soviet russia sleeve has you up it

 

[RedAssedApe]

kellyanne conway and conservative outlets accusing Anderson Cooper of sexism for rolling his eyes during her comey interview?

 

[andymcc]

Probably a saying he learned from his Russian mafia boss buddy.

He had to put the phrase through google translate.

 

[Linkura]

Laughing up their sleeves sounds like something Tommy Wiseau would say.

 

[TangoAlphaLima]

kellyanne conway and conservative outlets accusing Anderson Cooper of sexism for rolling his eyes during her comey interview?

Wut? That's just bullshitism.

 

[Mr_Appleby]

Also what the fuck does "laughing up their sleeves" even MEAN

He created that phrase.

http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/laugh+up+sleeve

To laugh in secret, generally while acting seriously.

It's not a Trumpism.

 

[Ourobolus]

kellyanne conway and conservative outlets accusing Anderson Cooper of sexism for rolling his eyes during her comey interview?

They don't understand stupidity when they see it so they didn't understand why Cooper did it, so clearly it was sexism.
