I think this is a clear indication of the donalds character. It's all about show, bluster and he believes if he keeps saying lies enough that eventually people will believe them. After all it seems he does.

He is trying to hang on long enough for his very scary-looking son to take over and prolong the Trump Presidential dynasty, or Trumpnasty for short.

it's a bit low calling the kid "scary looking" btw he looks average anyway except for the suit which doesn't really fit someone his age

The Niger incident seems to be the reason he is madly tweeting about everything else as well as deflecting from the reason he didn't call the parents. You would have thought he might have mentioned on twitter that 50 ISIS members ambushed US troops and it was ultimately the US army that left one behind on the battlefield (to be recovered 48 hours later)

Doesn't appear to make great reading and could be the reason he is not associating himself with the incident and ranting about other stuff instead.

Donald McFondled only wants to be associated with positive news.

He's been briefed this could be his benghazi...

There's still a lack of details of the attack, lack of drone cover etc however it does seem they are building another large drone base there

All that while fighting a made up Russian scandal, his own party ignoring their voters wishes and a completely biased liberal media.
Sorry returning to this "made up Russian scandal".

The report by US intelligence agencies concluded that Russian President Vladimir Putin had initiated a complicated campaign that spanned multiple aspects of the contentious election, per NBC. Although the intelligence report concluded that Russia had meddled with the election, it stopped short of assessing the impact of the election, contrary to Pompeo's remarks.

Meanwhile what we do know is made up was the story Fox News ran on Oct 8th about the Navy Seal praising the donald. He never served in Vaitnam, was never a seal, was never awarded medals he claimed...
probably thought if it was ok for the great leader to tell whoppers....

Interesting to juxtapose W's stance with the rant by cars posted earlier (important bit is the last two paragraphs, meant to be in italics but the code is arguing with me):

Cars890987 said:

The man created nothing but glitzy apartment buildings for people who love t shirts with logo's. He did this during a time property prices rose more than any other time in history, starting with a huge cheque from Daddy and then bailed out countless times.

He never created machinery, software, pharmaceuticals or useful products or services for the home or business. He's a poster boy for the greed and idiocy in property development which now see's most young people unable to afford their first home. He's Gordon Gecko with learning difficulties.

The man is a cancer, a systemic illness, a nylon haired, spray tanned, self serving sociopath who hopefully will get elected so it can be taught in the future to children as an example of how undeveloped we were as a species.

[i]As in all politics the opposition is not much better. I have given up on all politics.

I'm waiting for the robots to come when 80% of the workforce do not have jobs anymore and pretty much everything can be in abundance, designed by geniuses and built by armies of robots. Then people may have the time, lack of fear and education system to start having real conversations about how to allocate the resources of intellect and material.[/i]
W correctly notes that "confidence in our institutions has declined" but then misattributes this decline to people not having lived through the cold war. The entire intellectual machine surrounding W has failed to failed to identify the present and future threats to people's way of life so W is forced to offer platitudes about the 20th century that show no foresight and have no bearing on life in the 21st century.

By contrast Cars expresses a frustration I have heard many times though rarely so well wordsmithed, he correctly attributes the lack of confidence in our institutions to the fact that we are governed by unpleasant intellectual pygmies who "never created machinery, software, pharmaceuticals or useful products" in their lives (Trump, Clinton, May, Corbyn... Take your pick, they're all as bad as each other in my book). Notably Cars comes to the correct conclusion that, "people [need to] have the time, lack of fear and [a sufficent] education system to start having real conversations about how to allocate the resources of intellect and material." Though I would add 'And the democratic ability to express their education.'

This juxtaposition between our 'leaders' reaching for solutions from the 20thC while people on life's coal face are dealing with tech driven problems that are as unenvisioned by Marx as by Smith is a constant refrain these days. The Clinton's, Bushes and UK parliamentary parties do not appear to understand how outdated they are, so is it any wonder people are searching out political wrecking balls when it is so clear that the establishment is not fit for purpose?.

No point replacing an establishment unless what replaces it is better. Trump most definitely isn't.

Knocking things down is all well and good, but you need to have some sort of clue as to what you are going to replace what you have destroyed.

Mildly incompetent is pretty much the definition of what led to WWI.

Niger looks like yet another desperate attempt by leftwing media, who lost the election, to stir the Trump pot. It's getting tiresome.

US Africa Command has already said it was a local intelligence failure. They (wrongly) told the troops it was safe to walk around ISIS country without armoured vehicles or drone / air support. The army still don't know exactly what happened.
