Cont: The Trump Presidency 11: Insert something funny

[Molinaro]

About 2/3 of Alaska's citizens are white. There are less than a quarter of that number of natives. I would rate the statement that Alaska is pretty much white as... true.

Nationwide 77.1% of the US is White. That indicates that Alaska has a significantly above average non-White makeup.

To qualify:

Non-Hispanic whites totaled about 197,870,516, or 62.06% of the U.S. population. Non-Wiki link

Yeah, "Jesus ****** Christ" pretty much sums it up. This is an outrage. As someone else noted, it's like Abu Grahib all over again.

You gotta hand it to Trump, though. His strategy seems to be to just flood us with so many scandals and weird things to digest (red christmas trees that look like the aiens in Sesame street, wearing handmaid hats) that he gets away with stuff simply because the media can't cover it all, and we can't digest it fully.

The Red Christmas trees were weird but i think you can pin that on Melanie.

... Anti-abortion zeal has fallen down the priority list. ....

Apparently they bring it up to distract from accusations of racism.

Yesterday in support of the newly elected "I'll be in the front row at a hanging" Hyde-Smith, the guy on stage with her brought up the thousands of black babies none of the liberals care about that are killed in abortions.

Trump Tweets

I was very much looking forward to having a press conference just prior to leaving Argentina because we have had such great success in our dealing with various countries and their leaders at the G20....

....However, out of respect for the Bush Family and former President George H.W. Bush we will wait until after the funeral to have a press conference.

Every meeting Trump ever has, according to him, is somehow a great success, tremendous, fantastic, etc.
Why is it I doubt he was going to actually have a press conference and used Bush's death to justify not doing so?

 

[acbytesla]

IMHO, Trump is about as owned by Putin as Benedict Arnold was owned by the British...

I think you're tainting Benedict Arnold unfairly. He was just trying to give away West Point. Trump is trying to give away the country.

This is excellent.

Why would he want an excuse to not have a press conference? He would simply go on and on about things not related to G20 and his tremendous, tremendous success - record breaking success. And then he’d complain about the $50,000,000 wasted on the witch hunt (or is it up to $60,000,000 already).

The president’s face in the Prince MBS/Putin photograph is priceless. I hope the photographer wins an award or gets a bonus.

It will be right after the one he promised to explain the immigration status of his wife.

as you watch our president wander aimlessly on stage at the G20, glassy-eyed and lost in a fugue state of borne of stress, fatigue and the ever-encroaching fog of dementia, you can't help but start to feel sorry for him but then you remember it's Trump and ha ha, **** him forever

Points to Trudeau. At the signing ceremony for the new trade deal he referred to it as the new "North American Free Trade Agreement"

What face? If you watch the video it's hard to know if Trump even saw the greeting. Trump's not good at hiding his reactions and if you watch the extended video he doesn't appear to have seen them.

Though no doubt he's seen the video and the attention he was left out of. We can guess how that went down.

I saw that Bolton was saying at one point that if the joint statement released after G20 wasn't word for word exactly what the US wanted it to say, then the US wasn't going to be part of the statement.

"We're going to release our own statement. With Blackjack. And hookers."

17 was his meme for a while.

17 was trump's meme, but I don't think that TBD claimed it..

Yes, it's an ongoing discussion here in Canada and most Canadian news outlets have agreed that they will be, for the most part, referring to the renewed trade agreement as the "New Nafta" rather than attempting to verbally formulate Trump's idiotically unpronounceable acronym.

On paper it will be referred to as the "USMCA", but verbally it will be the "New Nafta".

Apparently Trump's too stupid to comprehend the importance of choosing an acronym that's both representative AND easily pronounceable.

Attending Bush Daddy funeral? Not prudent! Not prudent at all.

 

[alfaniner]

"I was very much looking forward to attending the funeral, however, out of respect for the Bush Family and former President George H.W. Bush we decided to have a press conference instead. "

Note: not a real quote.

 

[Stacyhs]

It's going to be interesting to see if Trump will attend Bush's funeral. The Obamas will certainly be invited as they are good friends of the Bush family. Trump...eh...not so much. Trump may send Melania in his stead. I'd love for him to be frozen out of another Republican politician's funeral.
