Cont: The Trump Presidency VIII

[The Great Zaganza]

Good point on the US spending way less than 2% of GDP on NATO-relevant defense.

 

[quadraginta]

Yeah, some people from south of the Alps are sort of, "off white".

Not to mention all those Hispanics.

 

[WilliamSeger]

At least he doesn't want to paint it gold.

Hmm... maybe not the outside.

I swear, if he got to redecoreate the interior, I can see it ending up looking like some Arabian Nights' harem. In other words... any of his tacky penthouse residences.

Surely, the "throne" will be gold plated, at least? I bet he orders that the new call sign will be Space Force One.

The main indicator that you're not a stable genius is that you have to tell people you're a stable genius.

David Lammy, Labour MP's comments about President Trump

Trump has access to one of the world's most sophisticated intelligence services. He knows last summer's terrorist attacks didn't result from decisions made at City Hall. Each time he blames @SadiqKhan, he insults every victim & every Londoner #trumpvisituk

I will call it like it is. The real reason Trump blames my friend @SadiqKhan for the terror attacks last year is simple. He hates that London chose a Muslim mayor. The President is racist. He does not deserve to meet our Queen today #StopTrump

These are from a BBC live feed quoting Twitter so I haven't included a link because it will likely not be active after today.

The queen's husband is a racist, so I'm sure they'll get on just fine.

Trump’s racism is of a different order to Phil the Greek’s.
Also I doubt the WW2 Royal Navy veteran has much regard for the draft avoider.

It is unusual for an American president to be quite this reliant on helicopter travel when visiting London. It is faintly reminiscent of how prime ministers has to travel around by helicopter when visiting a country like Afghanistan to protect them from the hostile local population ...

Don't misunderstand the Sun.
Their reporting of Trump's words is designed to damage MAy.
They see her as a traitor and want her out.
They want a Hard Brexit, they will be loving this.

Maybe he just wanted a better view of that nice balloon they put up in his honor.

He's said that that makes him feel unwelcome in the UK. Glad he's caught on.

We are talking about the man who was late for a photograph with members of the NATO summit because he refused to walk 700 meters or so to the photograph location and waited for a golf cart though.

Trump is calling a taped interview that the Sun posted audio of “fake news”​

Trump backtracks over Brexit criticism, calling Sun interview 'fake news’.

The gaslighter in chief carries on regardless.

Your point being? I didn’t think it was even worth providing said link, as we all know that he’s a lying scumbag?

[blockquote] Trump says nuclear proliferation will be a big issue in his talks with Putin.

He says he understands nuclear. His uncle John was a professor who dealt with nuclear. He spoke to him a lot.[/blockquote]

[The Don]

Your point being?

Merely reinforcing your opinion by highlighting that there is easily accessible contradictory evidence.

As usual he's being let off the hook entirely

 

[Segnosaur]

Trump says nuclear proliferation will be a big issue in his talks with Putin.

Wait a sec... is Trump saying proliferation is a problem because there are too many nuclear weapons in the world, or that there aren't enough? (We want more nuclear bombs, gosh darnit!)

After all, he did say that he wanted to expand America's nuclear weapons stockpile. "We're going to be far far in excess of anybody else".

Trump arrived at Blenheim Palace ]Trump feels unwelcome in London. Gee, what a surprise. No wonder he ran from the G7 and got to Singapore a day early, and here he's planning to leave as soon as possible, running into the arms of Putin.

It seems once in a while he gets something right, he is unwelcome in London.
