What stupid shit has Trump done today?

Don't think it matters at this point. 'Moderate' Republicans who may dislike Trump will still support him regardless. With the Supreme Court, regulation cancelling, inherent corruption and the rest he still pays out for them. So they'll grin and bare the true believers they're stuck with now, maybe with the odd bit of tutting to make themselves feel better/insure against his possible defeat. Same with Tories here, the famed 'Rebels' are always very disappointed in Johnson right up until they need to back him.

I hate 'these days'...
I can't remember which early 20th century industralist git said the following, it might be Rockefeller:
"If you owe the bank $200, that's your problem. If you owe them $200,000,000, that's theirs.

Anyone thinking this will sink him is deluded. His backers are so dug in now, nothing will change. This is either fake news or something to be admired. Or, given the mental gymnastics required to keep going with him by this point, both at once.

Some people will just never change. I know people who still say Nixon was railroaded.

I'd imagine it was a scaffolder rather than a hairdresser.

He must do that himself. He did a very bad job of it for yesterday’s press conference. Looks like he donned an owl mask before spraying himself

I note the Fake News MSM always like to get a close up of the eyes so you can see the zombie flesh untainted.

Not been the best year for him.

The successful businessman schtick can still be spun based on revenue. I believe Netflix is a very long way off making a profit, but to the lay person appear to be a very successful enterprise.

I doubt that $70k is coming out of his own pocket so to him it's probably a freebie!

This is a bit old but it suggests that maybe donald trump's hairdresser during the period under discussion was none other than .. melania trump.
In which case that $70,000 is a bit like the $747,622 that he paid to Ivanka for her consulting skillz.

You're probably right, but the IRS have been known to take down people where others have been unable
Americans tend to admire anyone who can beat the system.
Admiring all those cheats, frauds and swindlers. Whilst also applauding an administration who continue to ‘fiddle’ while the country burns.
I'm afraid TomUS actually makes a good point there. Trumps' base will just respect him for this, they see him as constantly bucking the system.
The real damaging story here for Trump, is not that he only paid 750 dollars in tax, it's that in the years upto 2012 he had a great deal of money coming in and then lost it all. This is a very different story from the myth of him leaving a life of luxury to dedicate his life to 'making America great again' as a 'public servant'. Trumps supporters like to think that he is some kind of genius when it comes to money and business - fact is he was losing, like, 50 million dollars a year! And that was when the economy should have been going well for someone like him. That's what we should be using to undermine Trump, that's the real revelation- not that he didn't pay his taxes - which will just be interpreted as him not paying for things he thinks are morally wrong (even though he doesn't have a moral compass at all).
Since he became President he's been doing better, and we don't know exactly how because contary to what some think he does not have 'the most transparent administration ever'.

The 'Horndog' may like 'Chocolate' in his diet, but he does not seem to be as keen on them voting in presidential elections:

Abend unqualified to be Defense Department watchdog
"President Donald Trump has nominated an unqualified person to lead what is arguably the most critical inspector general position in government," writes former DoD IG Gordon Heddell.

Nah, the real story is he's fucked. Ran to reinvigorate brand Trump...Got some big debts to pay off in the near future and from look of it some substantial legal bills coming. The most lucrative part of his folio was reality tv and thats dried up. Book and his own Frost Nixon interview won't fill that hole

I don't think the reality tv has dried up at all. If anything its more valuable. NBC might not have him, but he could go over to OAN and get a show pretty easily. And then there's the book and movie deals he could make. Look at some of the other deals celebrities have recently made worth over $100 million. He's also skimmed off the top of his reelection fund at least $200 million so he could very well be on his way to paying off his debt if he skimmed another $100 mil or so. He's also already shifted some of his legal bills onto the Justice Dept. and I'm sure many of his supporters are willing to kick into a fund to help out with those bills, even if those self-same people can't pay their own rent. That's how devoted some of his base are to him.

The skimmed funds hint more at plugging gaps of liquidity. News doesn't pay as well as entertainment. Apprentice racked in double what Sean Hannity earns as well as symbiotic benefit for his other projects, that you don't get telling the world how it is on cable news. Obama's book grossed him US$20mil and he didn't have a ghost to pay. He'd get a big check for a Frost/Nixon but I don't see him getting much on the after dinner (not sure he'd want to unless they host in McDonald's). That's me thinking like he won't get reinaugarated, else clearing deck on DoD IG then scope for pas du problem with regards funds but a full on clusterfuck with regards Hill scrutiny and accountability for the next 4 years
