Discussion: Inside Trump’s Terrible, Horrible, Very Bad, No Good Paris Trip

Judith Viorst added a very nice, and useful, phrase to the English language.

(I should point out though that the headline writer has a ‘tin ear’ and gets it slightly wrong: is it “terrible, horrible, no good, very bad…”.)

“He’s just a bull carrying his own china shop with him when­ever he travels the world,” presidential historian Douglas Brinkley said.

“Trump needs adulation, so heading into the midterms, holding these rallies, he was cheered and it became narcissistic fuel to his engine,” Brinkley said. “After the midterm, it’s the sober dawn of the morning.”

That would likely violate her NDA with Trump and cost her millions.

Just wait until the House dems get going. His head is going to explode.

Sure wouldn’t want to be working in the White House. Sounds like people are tiptoeing around him to escape his latest tantrum.

The MSM does favors for Trump every single day by burying his bizarre hate-filled behavior directed at this own supporters.

John Oliver just ran a clip of Trump mocking everyone who believed the “drain the swamp” line. You can be sure that none of his supporters have seen it.

Heck he is giving the ax now to his most slavishly dutiful sycophants.

He hates everyone.

His mood only dipped as he reportedly stewed over the midterms, his heart back in the U.S. and eyes firmly fixed on cable news.

Ms. Riga, I know the copy editing at TPM can be a bit… sparse. However, that is no excuse for the glaring typo in your above writing. Mr. Trump has no heart. Please correct in future printings.

Thank you.

Insert snarky Obama “apology tour” joke here.

Whoever is our next President, they will have the apology tour cut out for them.

Laying wreaths is the EASY part of the job, the can’t miss lay up. Missing the one in France was bad, but missing Arlington, a mile or so from the White House is simply unbelievable. He is incapable of doing the job and unwilling to even try. Donnie, YOU’RE FIRED!

Excellent point.

He lives for those rallies because he feeds off the rabid energy of his followers who eat up his word salad. He can tell them any lie or slur and they blindly and wildly cheer.

No impending election, no rallies.

What say we start a rumor that Donnie is so incapacitated he can’t even appear in public to do these slam-dunk things? It might even be true.
