“Israeli media outlets reported that Trump had been scheduled to give his main speech on the Israeli leg of his upcoming trip abroad at the UNESCO World Heritage site. But he is now slated to speak at the Israel Museum instead, according to Newsweek.”
It doesn’t really matter. Trump has no idea what or where those sites are.
Scared of riding in a cable car?
Or just angry that he can’t make the Grandest Entry ever?
He’ll have to delete all of his Peter O’Toole references, now.
I thought he was the most physically fit president in the history of the universe? Surely he could race the cable car up the mountain on foot and win bigly.
Maybe he found out that he could not purchase any antiquities.
Quick: Think of a bigger, more laughable jackass in the history of the world. Take as much time as you want.
(Whistles to self while waiting)
Can’t do it, can you? No jackass bigger, or more laughable, or more contemptible. Not in the past, and hard to imagine in the future either. Nice work, America. Really nice work.
When told that he wouldn’t be allowed to ride down the steps in a laundry basket, he fell to the floor, kicking and screaming.
Former President Bill Clinton had an even more arduous trek to the summit, according to Campbell: “He came up with the old cable car and ***walked up 100 steps.***”
I think Esme has cracked the code here. The lazy ass thought he’d have to climb stairs. They actually joked about his unwillingness to even go up to the second floor of the White House not long ago.
Actually it might not be laziness. Sometimes fear of stairs accompanies dementia.
Given that Trump’s idea of exercise is holding campaign rallies, as he told the New York Times in 2015, the cancellation may be for the best.
Awesome.
Hmmm … a site made famous by a Roman siege that ultimately ended when the Jewish resistance committed mass suicide rather than surrender. Maybe the Idiot-In-Chief does get historical irony …
the term that popped into my head was “sublime asshole”
“Trump made inquiries six years ago to see if he could host the Miss Universe pageant at the historical site.”
Setting a new record for crassness and insensitivity. Indeed, the trophy has been retired.
(If you don’t know the significance of Masada, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masada )
We should install a cable car right outside the White House and make it the only means of access.
Obviously he seems on the verge of being dismissed as an utter buffoon. He had no Advance Team to vet such obvious complications??
God knows he’s lazy in every way but I think @sanni sussed it out: He wanted a big, splashy, gaudy, glitzy entrance. All eyes are on meeeeeee!!! And when he had to go up like an ordinary mortal who doesn’t literally fly everywhere, he said ahhhh, fuck it.
Maybe they should have one of those newfangled telephone things installed in the White House so we can call ahead with questions like this?
“Masada will not fall again!” (Israeli military oath of service)
“Check out the tits on that one!” (D. Trump at Miss Universe Pageant)
He’s only on the first leg of his trip and he’s already pissing off his hosts.
Martin Indyk, former U.S. ambassador to Israel, tweeted that
a raft of decisions on the Trump administration in regard to the visit
has “soured” Israel’s mood. As well as the Masada cancellation, Trump
will only spend 15 minutes at the national Holocaust memorial Yad
Vashem, a move likely to offend the Israelis.
By the end of the trip Trump’s pecker is going to have so many of his own footprints on it that Melanoma wouldn’t recognize it even if she saw it. Which she apparently is strenuously avoiding to begin with.
From Politico last year:
Yet, a recent poll found Trump was by far Israel’s favorite GOP candidate, and the second-most popular overall. A plurality even thought he would be best at “representing Israel’s interests,” better than Hillary Clinton, with her decades of advocacy at the highest levels of government.
Those numbers could rise further still, after a spate of positive coverage in Israel’s most widely read newspaper, Israel HaYom, owned by billionaire casino magnate Sheldon Adelson. After months of scant coverage, the shift is a sign that Adelson—a major force in both Israeli and American politics—is reluctantly embracing Trump.
All of this presents a major dilemma for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has worked for years to align Israel with the GOP. The party’s presumptive nominee is now being spurned by the same establishment figures, men like Sens. John McCain and Lindsey Graham, who make up Netanyahu’s “base” in Washington. Trump has no emotional attachment to Israel. And his success has upended the long-held belief that Republican voters care deeply about a candidate’s position on Israel."
Considering that Netanyahoo spent the better part of 8 years sticking his knife into Obama’s back, and by extension SoS Clinton, the irony is a bit thick now. Bibi and his extremist Israeli and American supporters are already finding out what kind of moron they tied themselves to. I wonder if that Israeli ISIS informant still has his head attached to his neck.
Remember he wanted to ride in Queen Elizabeth’s Golden Carriage (was told no, I believe, and then the trip to the UK (for other reasons - we are told) was canceled.\
He’s our shallow/hollow man.
