Asked on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” who he talks with consistently about foreign policy, Trump responded, “I’m speaking with myself, number one, because I have a very good brain and I’ve said a lot of things."
“I know what I’m doing and I listen to a lot of people, I talk to a lot of people and at the appropriate time I’ll tell you who the people are,” Trump said. “But my primary consultant is myself and I have a good instinct for this stuff."
***Heh***What the president said:
President Barack Obama said on Friday that he has advised President-elect Donald Trump to have his team briefed before significant interactions with foreign governments.
What Drumpf heard:
I’m going to have to talk to Ivanka first.
Things you never thought you’d need to explicitly clarify, Mr. President…
Should we start a list?
Need to hire 4000 employees
Need to talk to State Dept. before starting WWIII
C’mon photoshoppers…you know what to do with their heads…
“President Barack Obama said on Friday that he has advised President-elect Donald Trump to have his team briefed before significant interactions with foreign governments.”
Jesus’s Filthy Loincloth…it’s like dealing with a goddamn infant. “I also had to advise Trump to wash his hands after using the potty and that he should never ever put anything in his ear smaller than his elbow.” I mean, W.T.F. How is it that we find outselves with a POTUS-elect who needs to be told that he needs to be briefed before significant interactions with foreign powers? Fuck fucking fuck fuckity FUCK.
Haha…I was actually thinking about those instruction posters the other day while trying to figure out how the baby boomers ended up so universally fucked in the morality, so utterly self-centered and filled with the need to rationalize their greed. I have to think that growing up in elementary school afraid of a nuclear warhead striking the playground might have at least something to do with it.
Expecting trump to listen to Obama’s sage and thoughtful advice is a completely pointless exercise.
Not all boomers are into greed. But i still remember the duck n cover drills (i thought “kiss yer ass g’bye” after seeing a film on the atomic bomb). And not all us boomers are morally depraved…
To be fair, I don’t think this was advice. I think it was a running diving roundhouse pimpslap that nobody noticed. He might as well have said “I’m not sure Trump even knows enough to wipe his ass after shitting.”
Forgive my bitterness hehe…but I’m of the generation the babyboomers have utterly destroyed: their children.
Yeah, but no man cave is complete until it has a Charles Starkweather poster behind the bar.
Yes, Josh, but please note: “Only explicit congressional consent validates such exchanges.”
So not only will Trump be given a blanket approval to take bribes by a congress entirely controlled by Congress, but the permission he needs from them will itself be used to bribe him.
Starkweather?
Who?
I must live a monastic existence.
Happily married once and still… I guess i cannot keep up with all the pussy grabbing…
…“And, by the way, that all of government is moving at the same time and singing from the same hymnal.”
This may be the time for patriotic classified employees who know what is going on in the world to speak out when Trump deviates from the hymnal into uncharted territory… and warn us all when Trump is about to do or say something so stupid that we will all want to head underground wherever such a facility is available.
Love the pimpslap analogy.
Sorry if you had crappy flks
We were a bit disappointed when our son decided against college, but he’s an electrical contractor with his own company. Did it on his own too. That earns big respect from me.
I didn’t spoil my son who is 47. He is as blue as I am and is a wonderful dad, husband and teacher. We had little money when he was a teenager so he knows that there are people who deserve our compassion and support.
Boy, it’s amazing he has to say this. It’s like saying, “Dr., you probably should have your surgical team understanding surgical procedures before you cut into a brain.”
Trump needs to hear that, but he won’t listen. He and most of his team think they know everything already.
“Speaking at his last press conference of 2016, Obama said that he has advised Trump to take a “systematic, deliberate and intentional” approach to foreign policy.”
I advised my 4 year old grandson to take a similar approach with his Thanksgiving dinner but he ate 3 pieces of pie and threw up anyway.
