Tsipras should have prepared for this question, the stock answer is “I will not dignify that question with an answer”
Overtaxation in Greece ? That’s only on paper, they are famously inefficient collecting taxes…
Gotta go, it’s late in Denmark… (who supplied the last Queen of Greece, Our own Queens youngest sister).
Agh, he started out lying about Obamacare payments, he said it was to “line the pockets” of the insurance companies, as if they didn’t really pay for anything, and just went off on a long riff that was absolutely fact- and reality-free.
“We’re not going to be taken advantage of but what can you do about it” WTF?
Held as a hostage.
Sadly, that’s an entirely believable statement.
Trump’s free floating thoughts…
“Jeeze, gibber jabber blah blah…ooh, look at the tatas on that reporter, she must be from Greece…smokin…“never on a Sunday” oh sure baby, haha…Boy, thinking about gyros makes me hungry…oh crap the Fed question…man, that chick has a face made for radio, or better, newsprint, ha ha, I should tell the She Huck that…oh, no bad idea Don, no no, not “politically correct” haha…ah who can I tell? I know, the Mooch…not Pence, that Johnny Chastity Belt buckle…oh, that chick is kinda hot, but too smart, no, too smart, she doesn’t look too good now, too smart…”
more Trump thought-
“…this little monkey guy is trying too hard, but I remember what it was like to have to pretend I had more than just a bucket of worthless paper…I have to take whizz…let’s wrap this up pronto…ohoh…gotta go…”
What IS this? I just passed the TV in the lunchroom and there was a BREAKING NEWS chyron insisting what good friends we are…Is Greece sucking up to Trump because they feel he needs FRIENDS??? What’s up?
Every nation on the planet is absolutely enthralled with parading the latest weapon systems before their public. The U.S. sells a lot of them. A U.S. President is sucked up to in hopes of a good deal, or any deal, on stuff to kill people.
Good. Just let him keep talking. A Trump stream of consciousness will be his ultimate undoing.
I thought maybe they just wanted money for friendship since they are hurting so much financially.

too coherent to be Trump
Wish we’d listened.
Tsipras seems about as comfortable around The Fucking Moron as he would be eating a salmonella gyro.
An international leader posing with Trump must be on par with being seen posing with Lee Harvey Oswald in 1963.
Probably the last Republican cause what we got now bears no resemblance
Remember a time… ya you didn’t like Republicans but you knew if they won at least they had the best interest of the country at heart instead of the shit show we have now actually trying to tear it apart
…and then they’ll default on the loan???
