Cont: The Trump Presidency Part IV

[William Parcher]

I imagine the translational effects have more to do with a lack of ready-made slang. I'm curious how North Korea translated the phrase.

NK does have an equivalent slang term. It's Trump.

Their news said that "Trump referred to Trump countries".

The Mayor of London responds to Trump cancelling his visit

Boris our Foreign Secretary and Cabinet Minister responds.

"The US is the biggest single investor in the UK - yet Khan & Corbyn seem determined to put this crucial relationship at risk. We will not allow US-UK relations to be endangered by some puffed up pompous popinjay in City Hall."

God I hate Bozzo.. Btw, I wonder what's the combined EU investment into Britain but never mind that, of course.

In a shocking twist, man endorsed by the KKK turns out to be a *********** racist.

US Ambassador to Panama John Feely has resigned, saying he can no longer work under Trump

This is good. Botswana has issued an official statement directed at the US Ambassador asking for clarification on whether or not it's a "********"

Not sure if that press release is genuine, they misspelled their own county name in the last line of the second paragraph.

Nothingburger !

Obama appointee, probably already earmarked for replacement.

That's not their country name. It's the term that denotes the citizens of Botswana

George Stephanopoulos was complaining a bit ago about ABC not allowing him to say "********".

Asterisk-asterisk-asterisk-asterisk-asterisk-asterisk-asterisk-asterisk?

Sounds pretty inoffensive to me!

I'm guessing there will be no White House Press Briefing today.

Ah, thank you

 

[Minoosh]

Of course even if the Bush administration did agree the price, it's still the Obama administration's fault for not attempting to shakedown the developers for a better price.

Where is the new embassy? Slummy Westminster? Darkest Lambeth? The moribund City? (Joking).

Any address in central London is a good address. Maybe not as posh as Grosvenor Square, but quite functional.

 

[Minoosh]

Let's see how they word the rules to make sure to exclude those people. (They ain't Muslim, for the most part. They'll have to come up with some other excuse.)

Because they eat curry, and the only acceptable vegetable for assimilated immigrants is iceberg lettuce.

 

[nelsondogg]

All around the interwebs I see people calling Trump President ********. Prefect nickname for the douche.

 

[Skeptic Tank]

In what way and in what world are they NOT ******** countries?

Broken link.

"Reason I canceled my trip to London is that I am not a big fan of the Obama Administration having sold perhaps the best located and finest embassy in London for 'peanuts,' only to build a new one in an off location for 1.2 billion dollars. Bad deal. Wanted me to cut ribbon-NO!"

Let us assume Mr. Obama decided to relocate the embassy to its new location. (He didn't, Mr. Bush the second) did.)

So what? Is that a valid reason to cancel the trip?

I don’t believe it is a valid reason but he supposedly was upset about the price not the fact it was being sold. I believe the price was negotiated under the Obama administration. I have no knowledge of it was a good price.

I feel upset we spent over 1 billion to build the new one but maybe that is an appropriate price.

Well, it's his own asterisk if he chooses to do so.

One answer:

********

He knew the price of the embassy when he first made his plan to go to London. It;s not like this all of a sudden happened, and made him changed his mind.

If he was so bothered by the price, he could have never agreed to go in the first place.

Instead, it's just a stupid ass excuse. Complete nonsense.
