So where does Trump go from here ?

He reminds me of the story of the little boy who cried wolf....he has told so many lies over the last few months that one day, he is going to come out with something true, but nobody is going to believe him. He is a fantasist.

[Bertrum]

When Mr Obama asked GCHQ to spy on Mr Trump they naturally said yes proving they can and are spying on the USA (They probably are but don’t think they would to admit it)

[Bertrum]

Oops
admit to it

[ichkeria]

"Excuse me is that GCHQ. It's the President of the USA here. Can you do a wiretap for me of Donald Trump. I've cleared it with your government. The tap actually needs to be in a hotel in New York so can you get your guys from the embassy over from Washington to do it.
And don't tell them I said it was from me. Please"
The Brothers Grimm will be turning in their graves.

Sean Spicer seemed to be saying the wire tap allegations came from Fox News. So it must be true then.

[hereIam]

I believe him, he's not a fantasist ....

[ladybirder]

Does anyone think that the Republicans, his advisors, et al, are letting him have his head in the hope he will hang himself?

[ichkeria]

I'm not sure this can go on much longer. If someone had written a screenplay along these lines they'd have been told to seek help ...

[ichkeria]

Spicer has now apparently apologised to the UK.
We await Trunp's apology to Obama. Unless he and his wacky judge Napolitano can think of another agency to blame.

[Peter Pedant]

// What evidence is there that he is telling lies. That'll be - none. Right.// db

I admire your logic deebee

what evidence does trump have (recycling your argument) that GCHQ has been tapping Trump Towers ? That;ll be none. Right ....


oh no! the trump supporters squeal - when trump says something it is quite different

[Peter Pedant]

// and his wacky judge Napolitano can think of another agency to blame.//

yeah as Trump may say - he's a bad judge - bad guy - says bad untrue things like other judges he could name

[mikey4444]

US will 'not repeat' claims GCHQ wiretapped Donald Trump

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-39300191

So.....at long last, we have the answer ! There was no wire tap, except in Trumps fevered imagination.

You know, you couldn't make this up !

[Peter Pedant]

trump seems not to have been briefed on that
and mentioned it in connection with Merkel
'we have something in common' - raucous laughter from the press corps -

and he was just repeating it ( so thats OK then ) and if you are worried about truth go back to Judge Napolitano ( bad dude - fake news)

[Peter Pedant]

I mean it seems pretty obvious to me that you cant ring GCHQ ( hey cute logo ) and say
' hello barack o'bama here but call me Barry - can you erm bug trump towers ? I mean I know you are in Gloucester but hell this is the can-do 21st century...'

and all the pukka fellas in Gloucester say 'yeah OK Barry'

[Samjenko]

It's amazing to me how many ABers have top level security clearance and are privy to all the machinations of the security services.
You all knew that the 'leaks' about Trump's links with Russia were true. 'Leaks' that came as a result of eavesdropping. The same eavesdropping that now never happened.
As Spicer said to a 'journalist' yesterday, 'You have zero intelligence (clearance)'.

[Samjenko]

Peter Pedant/// I mean it seems pretty obvious to me that you cant ring GCHQ ( hey cute logo ) and say
' hello barack o'bama here but call me Barry - can you erm bug trump towers ? I mean I know you are in Gloucester but hell this is the can-do 21st century...' ///

No need to ring them, pedro. GCHQ harvest more data than any other organisation in the world. And they have permanent cadre of 250 NSA staff to filter anything of interest to the US. And for some reason, someone, recently decided that all info had to be shared with every other US agency.
It was Barry who did that, of course. Some say because it makes it harder to trace where said info originated.
I haven't got clearance either but I read all that in the Guardian and I know how esteemed their reportage is around here.

[ichkeria]

How can I put this in words of one syllable (damn failed!)
One employs a measure of common sense and a smattering of attention to the 'fact' that one scenario involves 'stiff' while the latter involves 'nothing' 'nil' 'nada' 'zilch' 'neerdy peerdy'
It's el fako newso.
When the normally straight bats that are the GCHQ press liaison folk suddenly come dancing down the wicket and clout your half-arsed claims over the pavilion roof and into the Bath Road then you realise we're talking cloud cuckoo land Trumpo-style

[Samjenko]

Started drinking early today?
