Next Question - Mr. President, why are the Baltics sometimes spelled the Balkans?

centralasiaexpat · April 3, 2018, 5:40pm

I’ve prepared a shot of whiskey in case he talks about the beautiful women of the Baltics.

Get another ready for when he says he wants more immigrants from the Baltic.

@ralph_vonholst - I had to google it but hahahahahahaha

Wait until Trump finds out Alonso Ball’s ungrateful brothers who shoplifted in China and who he freed are playing pro basketball in the Baltics.

centralasiaexpat · April 3, 2018, 5:43pm

I"ll buy a TPM gift membership if he says something like “And so many famous people from the Baltics, like our very own Arnold Schwarzenegger”

What’s the delay, btw? Putting the cue cards in place?

“Weren’t you all better off under the wonderful leadership of Moscow? They have a beautiful leader there! The best! Why did you leave them? Sad!”

100 years of independence? Hmmm.
I guess someone wrote that for him.

NATO partners “All around the world”???

PLEASE someone ask about Stormy.

Trump just now - “Probably nobody’s been tougher to Russia than Donald Trump.”

Excluding Adolf Hitler, Napoleon and or Charles XII of Sweden to name a few others.

WTF? Chuck Todd breaks in to tell us there is a news conference, in the act preventing us from seeing said news conference?
This isn’t the Olympics, man!

tena · April 3, 2018, 6:03pm

Helped to rebuild China? WTF? Does he have China confused with Japan?

* Sigh * Where’s a good Gorge of Eternal Peril when you need one?

ralph_vonholst · April 3, 2018, 6:07pm

And there’s Ghenghis Khan who invaded Russia and destroyed numerous cities, including Ryazan, Kolomna, Moscow, Vladimir and Kiev.

Come to think about it, almost everyone, living and dead has been tougher on Russia than Trump.

centralasiaexpat · April 3, 2018, 6:08pm

Father Frost is tougher every year—believe me, I can attest to that from personal experience nearby.

left_in_washington_state · April 3, 2018, 6:09pm

That would be a Ball Tick

ralph_vonholst · April 3, 2018, 6:10pm

Au contraire. It’s the “Normalizing the Malignant Doofus” Olympics

centralasiaexpat · April 3, 2018, 6:10pm

There he goes with the $7 trillion again.
“Keep the oil!!!”
Fuck.
Our President, on live TV, says he wishes the U.S. had violated international law.

left_in_washington_state · April 3, 2018, 6:12pm

We have a very fine relationship with the Baltics…it’s tippy top!

left_in_washington_state · April 3, 2018, 6:13pm

I hate how he talks to other world leaders in the pressers like they are five year olds.

thebigragu · April 3, 2018, 6:13pm

Why does every word in Lithuanian end in the letters “aunaus”?
