Don Jr: "I want a cheese omelet, no a western omelet, I want pancakes, I want a cappuccino, I want hash browns..."

Trump: "YOU'LL GET NOTHING AND LIKE IT!"

For "explained", insert "has said stuff about", and we can surely dismiss this option. People will have said stuff to Trump about this. And every time, Trump will have heard "Blah blah blah ..." and wonder, if he wonders anything, why these people are talking to him. Or, indeed, who they are.

Bob Woodward's book confirmed this. Lots of people (including the Chairman of the Federal Reserve IIRC) have tried to explain to Trump how tariffs work. He sits there nodding and appears to be listening, and then carries on as if no-one had said a word. So not only was he profoundly ignorant of everything he needed to know in order to do the job when he was elected, he is still just as profoundly ignorant two years later. Because he cannot be taught.
 
Trump doesn't learn from facts, only from consequences to him.
If he was still building hotels, he would realize how tariffs on steel affect the US.
 
So, you know how Trump says that his presidency has made the US respected again internationally? Well...

Speaking to a security conference in Munich, Pence tells his audience he brings greetings from President Trump... and not a single person claps. #awkward

Ivanka Trump is the only person in audience who doesn’t applaud after Angela Merkel points out the absurdity of Trump claiming German cars are a national security threat

OMG -- Pence was visibly shook in Poland when he received absolutely no reaction to what was clearly supposed to be an applause line about how "the time has come for our European partners to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal."

On that general topic, Pew has a bit to say...

Only Russia and Israel seem to actually favor Trump's leadership to Obama's on that list. As for the US in general...

PG_2017.06.26.US_Image-00-2.png


In the surveyed countries, only Russia and Vietnam went up.

Mmm. Trump sounds like he's playing for an audience of... Russia. The US is more respected in Russia! Russia's international!

Is this our first genuine image of President Trump without his "good genes" spray-tan?
 
Trump Tweets

The United States is asking Britain, France, Germany and other European allies to take back over 800 ISIS fighters that we captured in Syria and put them on trial. The Caliphate is ready to fall. The alternative is not a good one in that we will be forced to release them........

....The U.S. does not want to watch as these ISIS fighters permeate Europe, which is where they are expected to go. We do so much, and spend so much - Time for others to step up and do the job that they are so capable of doing. We are pulling back after 100% Caliphate victory!

Just looked at the link for the highlighted. Saw about what I expected. A bunch of scaremongering and BS. For example, unsurprisingly, the recent Texas moronics were pointedly referred to, with minor concessions to the fact that those people could have been naturalized before voting, alongside lots of insults and misrepresentations of the left and the situation at hand there.

My first thought on seeing this;

Gentlemen do not wear hats indoors. (Exceptions made for religious requirements of course.)

I don't play golf although I do know that players are made to wear deliberately ugly clothing, I assume it is compulsory to wear a hat inside in golf club house?

My first thought was how cheap and tacky it looks. This is the club that Trump & family have boasted about micromanaging? The one where not a single bit of decor is there that wasn't personally approved by the family? And that tatty counter and those chairs and stools from a pub are the absolute pinnacle of class, are they?

I'd have expected a bit more gilt but otherwise, yes. Pretty poor pub at that

And the poster behind the bar shows a distinct lack of self-awareness.

It turns out that Japan’s PM Shinzo Abe actually nominated Trump for Nobel Peace Prize last year...











only after the US government asked him to.

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe nominated U.S. President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize last autumn after receiving a request from the U.S. government to do so, the Asahi newspaper reported on Sunday.

The report follows Trump’s claim on Friday that Abe had nominated him for the Nobel Peace Prize for opening talks and easing tensions with North Korea.

The Japanese leader had given him “the most beautiful copy” of a five-page nomination letter, Trump said at a White House news conference.
