He won't have time to tweet in the dead of night, he'll be so exhausted from constant traveling, meetings, speeches, rallies, publicity stunts, and paperwork that sleep will be all he seeks. Jet lag and all of that will eat him if he isn't prepared for this job.

That moment when he realizes the only one who knows its location is Bill Clinton.

Is... is he?
lol it's funny cuz it's true
He convinced enough people to vote for him to win the presidency
I mean, if you love racism, yeah, he's gonna be great.
If you give a single shit about anything else though, you're fucked. Immensely. The economy isn't going to get better. Your taxes are going to rise. Your jobs will continue to disappear. Corporations will get even more power. His climate plans will fuck up the whole world in a decade or two. He'll allow Russia to get more powerful and control shit geopolitically.
The only fucking way you can think he's going to be great is if you're a racist that cares about nothing else, or you're a mindless moron.
Let me remind you. This fucktard managed to bankrupt a fucking casino, and you're trusting him with one of the biggest economies in the world? You're goddamn insane.
How is the press normalizing the racism? Curious.

Nearly 60 million people voted for Don and he is President-elect of the United States. I'm not sure how you or we could prevent him from being normalized.
I guess I could change it so it filters to "Subhuman trash" or "Fuckwad scum" or maybe even "The biggest dipshit in modern history" but I think this makes things simpler.

"We had never met each other."
He's trying to make people forget about the roasting he got in 2011.

I guess I'm thinking there's a distinction between speaking, communicating, and persuading. He certainly is not eloquent.
Neither was Hitler but he was a master speaker as well
Simply being in the same room as someone usually doesn't quality as meeting them.
Huh? He's a horrifyingly poor speaker. America is just even more stupid.
Yeah. I mean it's blatantly obvious he's incoherently talking out of his ass 99% of the time. It's mind bobbling that people don't see it.

Master speaker? What. Trump is an awful speaker. Says nothing and repeats it several times.

Why do I not believe him?
Because he gave no details.
Obama could have said, Trump is a good man. Are we supposed to believe that? Of course not. Donald is not a good man.
Obama's statement of "Encouraged" probably just means...he is willing to listen to what I have to say at best and at worst...he won't blow up the world on day one as everyone thinks he would.

Yup. If you use Google Earth, zoom into some of those deep red areas in the original map posted here. Lots of land, very small settlements(or at least seem like settlements, cause they are just handfuls of houses) spaced out every so and so. Few towns that are a probably a couple square miles big(which tend to be the average size of most major cities' "downtown" areas), and every so often, a larger town(3-4 square miles). I love to go one Goolge Earth to search the United State's great wide limits(probably something I wouldn't be able to do in real life). The things you learn about certain states and cities are interesting.compare that to this, though.
I guess I don't know about this. Did they meet before? Can I have a link? You got my interest.
They didnt meet, they were in the same room

NeoGAF pivots from election experts, to polling experts, now body language experts. Everyone's Tim Roth in Lie To Me now.
Can someone Photoshop Trump's cake over Lincoln?
Obama: Soooo, are you thinking about nuking stuff?
Trump: Hmm, I haven't fully decided on that one yet.
Encouraging!

I'm sure he's just playing nice until Obama hands over the keys proper.

Hehe. It's actually much better to judge body language via video. A photo is just one slice of time, so it can potentially be very misleading. Just look at how misleading it is if you catch someone mid-blink, and then describe them as sleepy.

Obama's not about to say "oh my fucking god we're screwed", even if he thinks so. He has to put on a brave face lest the entire world really grasp the severity of the situation.
There's a chance that Trump MAY have had a change of heart but I doubt it.

I think he's tired. He had 5 rallies a day for most of the past week. That wears anyone down.

I don't think he can legally do that. His tweets need to be preserved as public record (as they are public statements from the President). They probably have to go through a person who screens them, before they actually get posted.
Trump, being president, actually loses a ton of control over his own life. The president has a lot of stuff he can and cannot do. And he's always being watched and recorded.

I'm not sure there's going to be any kind of widespread panic. That is one Red map. Even half of California is Red.
Wow
Oh man, my city did good in Mississippi. Maybe I have nothing to worry about when it comes to crazy alt right people after all.
Project Turn MS. Blue now in effect! I don't know why the coast is so red though. Maybe all of that casino money, and it being some gambling vacation spot for people that can't travel far to better vacation states.
Why are you here?

Yes he is, and to think otherwise is actually crazy.

It doesn't matter if he's incoherent or tells a mountain of lies. If he manages to win people over, he's obviously doing something right in appealing to them.

Trump seems less sure of himself lately, maybe it finally hit him how much real work is ahead of him
