The Trump Presidency 15

[The Atheist]

He dominates the news with bullying and rather crude simple insults. This is leadership? In the world he has achieved nothing. He loves Kim because most of the world hates both of them.

Most of the world, outside USA.

His support among American voters is the closest to positive territory it's been so far, despite him acting like a horse's arse and being reviled across the world. He comes across as the tough guy the little coward in him always wanted to be. There's a superb pic of him today leaning over Kim Jung Un. Power, baby.

No more calling for hanging innocent men, he will nuke your ******* arse if you piss him off. He's loving it, and the American public seem to be lapping it up.

I'd be prepared to bet a chocolate fish his RCP & 538 popularity rating will hit positive territory this year.

My rule of thumb is that anytime someone says something is clearly X, there is a fair chance it is not X.

Yep, just like 5 is clearly more than 4.

Great saying. Confucius, was it?

Hilite#1: Agreed.

Hilite #2: Please don't describe the minority of Americans as "the American public". I want to vomit every time his smug and smarmy face comes on the TV.

Hilite #3: I'll take that bet and raise you a gummy bear. (Haribo. No knock offs)

Trump tweets

The highly respected Farm Journal has just announced my Approval Rating with our great Farmers at 74%, and that despite all of the Fake & Corrupt News that they are forced to endure. Farmers have been unfairly treated for many years - and that is turning around FAST!

The leaders of virtually every country that I met at the G-20 congratulated me on our great economy. Many countries are having difficulties on that score. We have the best economy anywhere in the world, with GREAT & UNLIMITED potential looking into the future!

Farm Journal highly respected? My recollection is that it's a media conglomerate.

Oh, wait... it says Trump is popular, Trump therefore respects it, everything Trump does is "highly, hugely or greatly". It stands to "reason" that it's now a "highly respected" journal.

 

[Stacyhs]

Oh, dear! Those poor farmers are being forced to watch Fake News! What next? Being forced to watch reruns of Murder She Wrote? Or ...horror of horrors...Green Acres?

 

[Foolmewunz]

Trump has claimed that Obama "begged" constantly for a meeting with Kim but was turned down. Former Obama officials, including Ben Rhodes, who served as Obama’s deputy national security adviser, have said this is simply not true.

I'm shocked! Shocked I tell ya!

Even Fox's pundits called this out yesterday filling time waiting for the "Historical Moment".

 

[Norman Alexander]

Quick question: When Trump stepped into NK territory, wasn't he, technically, crossing a border wall without a formal visa application? He just invited himself in, didn't he? And Kim kindly let him in without having to pass NK's version of ICE. So shouldn't Trump be out of a job and locked up in a cage there now?



One can only hope...

Ivanka Trump trying to engage in an otherwise serious conversation among world leaders at the G20 by repeating little bits of what other participants had just said and then adding a total non-sequitur.

It's actually more cringe-inducing than anything, because we've probably all had a similar (though far less consequential) experience.

That is bloody weird.

Hmm, not sure minority is the right word - it's getting very close to 50/50.

Done - a chocolate fish and a packet of Haribo gummy bears.

 

[thaiboxerken]

Yes, an innocent man likely would.

Trump acts guilty when it comes to everything he's accused of. He's been shown to be guilty several times, but has not demonstrated innocence in any case I know of.

Ivanka, you DO know this is an adult conversation, completely unlike dealing with your father...right?

And the evidence says, no.

The look on Christine Legarde's face is just priceless! Ivanka really does look like the uncomfortable unpopular girl trying to be noticed by the cool kids.

That's the not quite half with an IQ under 100.

I would not take that bet. I've been saying for a while that IMO President Trump has a good chance of being reelected unless there is a sudden recession. Most people don't give a stuff about global affairs and geopolitics, if they feel better off than they did (even if they are objectively worse off) then they will tend to go with the status quo.

So many amazing things happened over the last three days. All, or at least most of those things, are great for the United States. Much was accomplished!

“Stocks Cap Best First Half Since 1997” @WSJ Our Country is doing great!

I'm not sure if you're agreeing with The Atheist or not. He's saying Trump's popularity could break the 50 percent mark, and that Trump will most likely win ... while you are saying there's a good chance he'll win absent a recession.

You both say things that could be taken as warnings about complacency. You're maybe not quite as bullish on Trump as TA. Am I reading your position correctly?

I'm probably marginally less bullish than TA but right now think that President Trump is more likely to be reelected than not.

Let's see.

1) You left the USA. That's always a bonus.
2) At G20 you claimed great strides forward with tariffs on China by simply leaving things as they are now. You did nothing.
3) Did you do anything in South Korea besides use their toilets?
4) You went to see your l'il buddy Kim on North Korea. He's playing you like a stupid fish but that's been obvious for years now.
5) You went to North Korea by walking 20 feet. Vacation? And then you came back...pity.

Oh and your daughter distinguished herself by being that annoying little five-year-old at a cocktail party who keeps wanting to show you her dolly.

So yeah. Impressive.

“Stocks Cap Best First Half Since 1997” @WSJ Our Country is doing great!

Only in percentage terms. And only after you dicked about with tariffs to drive the market down in the first place. So even a mild rise to a middling level is "yuge". So it's more like a correction back to normal rather than a surge. Rooster taking credit for the dawn.

 

[TragicMonkey]

I totally misread "your lil buddy Kim" as "your buddy, Lil Kim" up there and wondered briefly what the heck is going on in the DMZ.
