Trump

Well what a waste of time that was, essentially he called for everyone's attention to announce nothing

But everyone has been soooo nice about his speech:


Has there ever been anyone, ever in the history of the human race, more demanding of constant attention and self-congratulation?

Many toddlers, not many (supposed) adults

That was weird, at first I assumed I was somehow reading an old story, but no he's doubling down on debunked claims with some rather disgusting threats

[WaspInWales]

He has been hitting that retweet button quite a bit recently. Must be feeling a little triggered.

Quite a few for another fine example of a human being that is Charlie Kirk.

Rumour has it Donnie Jr may be getting something interesting landing on his doormat soon

I didn't know who this was. So I looked him up. Wish I hadn't. One of an entire generation bottle fed social media.

Trump on his way to the border, either hiding from Mueller or to declare a nation emergency allowing him to reallocate defence spending to build his wall.

He's also now saying he never said Mexico would directly pay for the wall and it was always going to be the case it'd be indirect monies courtesy of say his revised trade deals. Useful informationthere from Trump were it not complete bollocks

It's even better than that.

He is down in TexArse hammering the false invasion of brown people narrative around a table with assault weapons and bricks of heroin. He has some brown people to tell scary tales of gang violence. He even touched one of them on the shoulder.

I notice the cap has also gone white now, is that so it more resembles the KKK?

You silly duffer. The white cap is part of the Emergency Response Uniform. Khaki GI Joe pants, a white shirt (no tie), official Blue Presidential Man of Action wind breaker jacket, and The White Cap. Sometimes Donnel fucks it up and puts on Melanie's 5 inch stilettos.

Was it just me or were the white rings around his eyes more prominent than usual?

There appears to be a concerted effort to have someone compose tweets for the semi-literate leader of the orange world. His last big boy solo effort suggests this is a sound strategy.

What a leader of men.

Where do they lose them to?

Hang in, is he trying to stop Americans from leaving now? Sounds more like a new Iron Curtain.

I assume he means that 300 immigrants a week disappear, but lacks the literacy, proof reader or effective parental controls on his iPhone to communicate on social media .

[WaspInWales]

I think he means 300 lives are lost to heroin, of which 90% enters the US from Mexico.

However, as people have already tried to point out to him, most of the heroin is smuggled in through legal points of entry across the border.

I wonder if he contacted any of his allies in Europe and asked whether devastating Turkey might cause them any issues?

I'm actually amazed that he appears go have blundered into taking a moral stand. There's no profit in protecting the Kurds, no-one in the US gives two shits about their fate, and gods know it's not because Trump has a sense of honour or obligation to them as allies. Yet for some reason, he appears to be doing the right thing.

It's in completely the wrong way and in a half-arsed manner of course, but it's the best we could hope for.

Less than a month ago he was pulling out completely after a chat with with the Turks, now he's threatening them with devastation. If the next person he speaks to is pro the Turkish leadership the Kurds are back to being screwed

[morepork]

He is simply responding to the talk radio/TV segment. Like a lot of intellectually challenged ignorant people, he gets his feel for the issues from hosts on those infomercial media shows. He has no idea what is going on. They have John Bolton and Mike Pompeo jetting around the world addressing the most despotic leaders they can find and telling them that the black guy that was president before the orange guy has totally messed the world up and only they can fix it, preferably by invading Iran, who have done nothing.


Sorry 'Murrica. You have lost any high ground you may have thought you had on the world stage, and it will take quite some effort to get that mojo back.

[Digby]

Iran has done nothing is a rather odd line

To justify an invasion?
