What's not to get? What exactly defines "wasted time"? No chance he's just trolling? Why should he definitely be worried? Look at all the other political figures over time who've done or said stupid, unacceptable things and basically gotten away with it. Major convictions are few and far between. If your innocent, or you at least are covered enough that legally you don't have to worry, why not continue as per usual? If there is little or no hard evidence that directly ties Trump to any of this, then Trump can even admit to doing it, and unless they can prove he did it, the likelihood of him being proven guilty is highly unlikely. People falsely admit to committing crimes and have their cases tossed when it can't be proven they actually did it. Now if there is substantial hard evidence, but not quite enough to prove guilt beyond doubt, and someone falsely admits to the crime, it can in certain cases, be presented in a manner that ends up being enough for a guilty verdict. If Trump was seriously concerned, he would put a sock in it, but the fact that he doesn't, implies he has nothing to worry about so there is no reason for him to avoid the situation. Either that or he doesn't care either way. It's not like Trump has never been sued before and lost.
Is Trump really the one who is triggered, or is all the haters on social media? Possibly both?

So you believe a president of the US should waste time responding to satire. I guess we have totally different opinions of the things the US President should be spending his time worrying about. Who cares if he is trolling if you look stupid doing it. The president words have weight and even when you are trolling if it comes out incorrectly as his rat statement about Cohen, then he further makes himself the fool. As I figured, no matter what the President does, no matter how stupid it is, you will always be on his defense.
As anyone knows, just being innocent isn't always enough. Keeping your mouth shut is always the better plan because words have weight, and the wrong words or context put you in jeopardy. This is the reason you hire lawyers and its the reason most turned him down because he doesn't listen.
Yes, Trump is the one Triggered, because he is the one always responding. That is what being triggered means when people get you act out in anger over the dumbest of stuff. As long as enablers like you cheer him on he will continue to alienate more people and make his chances in 2020 even more remote.

As long as he's getting things done he can 'waste' all the time he wants. His opposition wastes just as much of his time and he does himself, so have at it. Who's to say he looks stupid? Plenty of people think he looks like a boss. Who says what he said was incorrect? If he was trolling he likely meant to word it that way. 'Look guys, we tried to figure out gravity a few times but still haven't got something that pleases us, so let's just give up because it either must be impossible or we're wrong and gravity doesn't exist'.
We were told Trump opening his mouth, and just being Trump, was enough to never stand a chance at being Prez, yet here we are. Maybe he knows something we don't. He is kinda old, has met many people and tried many things. At least a few things must have stuck.
Trump is just responding to his yet to be fans. They don't know it yet, but he does.

SpokenTruth said: Also, keep this in mind. Trump will going to Mar-A-Lago for 16 days to play golf while he shuts the government down. That means the Secret Service agents and all other support personnel for his trip will not be getting paid while he plays golf in south Florida. |
I am sure EricHiggins has a defense statement for this as well. Yes, I am calling out my buddy Eric because I love his responses.
On another note, I am sure the President continues to make a lot of friends in Washington with this move. It would be funny and not funny if the Secret Service just left during this time.

Sounds like when I would have to get up in the middle of the night on a Sunday and go to an emergency call sometimes. Thing is instead of getting paid triple time like I should have been, I was only paid time and a half because the call was for a specific customer which was part of the Gov. That contract led to a tonne more work for the company and it was laid back and easy going during normal regular time, which is part of the reason they got a deal for overtime and emergencies. Did I complain? No, because it was a fairly rare instance and considering the importance of that specific area out of power, it didn't exactly feel like a chore and so I just did my job. I also had to wait two weeks for my pay, if it wasn't incorrect.
Trump is the President and shutdown's are fairly rare. They will also get paid when it's over. If it's so terrible, then the Dems should just give Trump his measly 5 bil and be done with it. That money is pocket change for the Gov, and with all the talk of how much money universal healthcare will save, how about the savings from the wall? I'd much rather die at the hands of an illegal immigrant, knowing I had free healthcare for the rest of my life...
