  1. He showed the other guy the Beast… why not take him for a joy ride and show all the electronics and whatever else in there? This is the Denis Rodman of the presidencies, if there is one. why doesn’t the press ask if this deal is better than the Iran deal?

    He thinks this is cute to say. Why go to school, learn foreign policy, or learn diplomacy or anything… just fly by the seat of your man baby pants.

  2. You know, a president of a country should have an uplifting inspiring life story, maybe like someone who got there by their own merit despite all circumstances such as maybe growing up poor and making opportunities for themselves through sheer power of who they are. But here we have this buffoon inheriting his wealth from his daddy and because of that he cruised through life and now placed where he is. Without that wealth this guy wouldn’t have gone anywhere in life other than maybe conning people and getting into trouble with law enforcement. It is a sad day for America!

    • We did have a President who got there by his own merit and achievements, despite growing up poor-Bill Clinton. He was a good one too, so we should push back at the Media’s determination to expunge him from the record unless it’s something, something, blah, blah, blah about Monica Lewinsky.

      • Totally agree. BC was/is an intellectual powerhouse and master at statecraft.

      • As with all totalitarian states, it is important for the totalitarians to reconfigure history so that those who opposed them are portrayed as evil. The only President in the last forty years who actually tried to fight against the Republicans was Bill Clinton, and they hated him for it, as well as for winning at all; they thought they owned the presidency. And whereas in Clinton’s time, the Democrats basically supported him, now some people who do not remember his presidency, or who have been brainwashed into thinking that the Clintons were anti-progressive corporatists,, or who are so besotted with the avowed moral purity of MeToo type things, that they are happy to purge their own ranks, are comfortable with demonizing him. The Left often does the Right’s work for it, look at Al Franken, the best Senator we had. The Right was gleeful at the opportunity to attack Bill Clinton again. He left office at 67% popularity; but whereas we see Reagan and Bushes extolled, the relentless attacks on Bill Clinton from the vast right-wing conspiracy are now joined by sanctimonious hand-wringing from people who love attacking their own, since attacking the other side appears to be fruitless. “Fifth columnists” might be an appropriate term for them. or maybe “Fascist Dupes.”

  3. This is not a serious presidency — “he loves his people…” said the buffoon to Greta Van Susteren and see this below for his stupidity…If you don’t know what you don’t know, this is how it goes.

  4. I have never ever seen a country/people/person relinquishing their number one position in the world (or similar status) voluntarily. Go USA! And a word of caution for pundits who appear on TV — don’t answer the question from anchors about what trump supporters may or may not feel as rationale for their support of this guy. You don’t know and we don’t even know how much support there is and you are just normalizing and speaking better for those minority hillbillies when you use your eloquence to relay their stupidity. Don’t do it. You are hurting your country. Say you don’t know what they are thinking and explain the consequences of the baboon’s actions and challenge how they feel when that happens.

    • In other words, Media, do your job? PM317, you know that won’t happen.

      • No, I am not talking about the media per se. When I wrote that I had just listened to Torricelli (NJ) and Ruhle asked him why trump’s supporters are still with him and he went on to say why, more eloquently than these mfers can think for themselves and I don’t think they are thinking all that stuff Torricelli said that was a rational explanation of what may not be there at all (it is just his interpretation). I have seen this done again and again, the paraphrase, the rational explanation are much better and more convincing than what actually is going on with trump supporters and that gives them a lease on life that they don’t deserve. Stop speaking for them, on behalf of them through your (rational) lens, is what I am saying because that is not what is going on.

  5. The Deplorables (or, as I prefer, the Stupid White Folks) don’t mind what foreign dictators Trump sucks up to, because to the Stupid White Folks, the only real enemies are the Non-White Folks and the Non-Stupid White Folks right here in the USA.

    • The McDucks who fund the GOP and the “independent” wingnuts are fine with this because the McDucks–the alleged Masters of the Universe–would rather don their knee pads and give intimate services to Putin, than pay slightly higher taxes under Democratic government, which they would never even feel.

      The McDucks consider it a lesser humiliation to fellate Putin than to pay taxes.

  7. You don’t know what you don’t know.

  8. You think trump would if he didn’t have his inherited wealth? Maybe that is what you are saying. Now, do something!
