Trump showed up to the G-7 summit like a kid forced to go the dentist. He showed up late, left early and pouted the entire time. He expected foreign leaders to bow down to his directives, and when they didn’t he called them names. Nothing new, just Trump’s usual behavior continues to embarrass Americans across the world.
So Dennis Rodman wants to take credit for the nuclear summit. If he does, look for Donald Trump to throw him under the bus. He wants no rival. If the talks fail, Trump will send him the blame and make him the fall guy.
You want to know why Kim Jong Un is willing to sit down with Donald Trump? Because he knows he’s much smarter than that orange dope. He’s gonna play Donnie like a fiddle, and/or publicly make him look as stupid and inept as he is. Mark my words.
If you can’t debate a topic without inserting lies, slander or bullying tactics, you might as well concede. You have already lost.
If you had any doubts about the Supreme Court being an outpost of the Republican Party, the decision to allow Ohio to eliminate voters from the rolls even if they only miss one election should convince you. This is a blatant effort to prevent the old, the young and minorities from voting, by assuming that if you fail to vote, you must have “moved away.”
When you’re a global progressive liberal elitist and you’re OK with Canada having a economic advantage over the U.S. in tariffs, you leave no doubt that your hate for the president can’t be any more evident. Having more money than brains must have its advantages because, as a Trump supporter, I sure don’t feel that way.
Equating the presidentof the United States to random people who sing the national anthem is the worst false equivalency. The president has the honor of having the highest office in this country. He regularly criticizes people for their lack of patriotism, and then he doesn’t even know the words to “God Bless America.”
Trump was backed into the corner at the summit and refused to work with the other leaders. He is just a little boy playing in a big person’s world.
Trump says that the “U.S. is like a piggy bank that everybody is robbing on trade.” Funny that he is oblivious to his family and friends robbing the country at every opportunity.
Dan Rather said, “I never thought that the great post-World War II alliances between the United States and Europe and Canada would be undermined by a president who was inclined to coddle dictators while spitting in the faces of our best friends.”
For all of my life, I could never understand the idea of the megachurches or any of the cults and their ability to brainwash people to follow their orders. And yet we have the Trump and Fox News followers with the same glazed-eyed look of those cult members.
