Cont: The Trump Presidency Part III

[BobTheCoward]

"Very few people" on the campaign knew Papadopoulos....

And here they all are!

(The guy no one knows is two seats to the left of Sessions.)

I have been in meetings where no one knows me.

There were 13 people seated at the table in that picture. There were 13 people seated at the table at the Last Supper. One of the 13 people at the Last Supper betrayed the leader...

Were they national security meetings with President of the United States?

In such a meeting, had the boss previously referenced you by name publicly, including praise, as one of three advisors on a vitally important topic?

Following that analogy to its logical conclusion means that someday, Trump will rise from the dead...

Were they National Security meetings? (eta - beaten to it by, at least, the karate kid, which should be no surprise to me)

Also, Trump's assertion that none of Manafort's events happened during campaign time is incorrect. At least 3 of the charges relate to 2016/2017 time frames, as far as I am aware. The fact that Trump is not telling the truth will hardly cause any eyes to blink though. (inb4 if he believes it, he's not lying)

He already did that after the Access Hollywood tapes.

I wonder if Trump realizes we have him on record naming Papadopoulos as one of his five foreign policy advisers...

President Trump has one of the Great Memories Of All Time but you cannot expect him to remember every single little detail such as the name of one of his foreign policy advisors or whatever little details escaped his mind on more than 30 occasions during his testimony regarding Trump University.

Depending on how the Mueller investigation proceeds, I expect him also to have trouble remembering Paul Whatsisface, General Mike Thingamy and Donald Somethingorother Jr.

The meeting in question wasn't with the president, either.

I attend a lot of meetings and for a meeting of that size, the first order of business if people don't know each other is introductions.

Given that Donald Trump named George Papadopoulos as one of his five foreign policy advisers and he famously ran a very small campaign staff and he has one of the Great Memories Of All Time, I find it remarkable that he doesn't know him.

Looking on the bright side, his death will be protracted and highly entertaining from the viewer's perspective.

I see where this is coming from : how could The Greatest Story Ever Told not have Trump at its centre?

Irrelevant. I wasn't responding to a statement about previous statements of public praise.

Take another look at the photo.

To be fair, Trump said "few people knew him (papa)" which is kind of a meaningless thing to say unless you assume he meant that Trump didn't know him (which we know he did).

That was exactly the intent of the weasel words he used: Give a false impression with just enough wiggle room for deniability if you get called on it.

Take another look at the photo.

It is march 31st, 2016. It is not accurate to call it a national security meeting with the president.

Yes it is.

Very true. He's not a president's arse.

 

[BobTheCoward]

Yes it is.

I remain in disagreement with you.
