This will be good for a dozen zany tidbits of silly, stupid, ill-advised bullshit.

Spoiler alert:

Whatever he says will be translated into German as “Ich bin ein poopflinger.”

One day soon, during one of these events, the urge to do something dramatic will overcome Trump. He knows all media are trained on him in these joint pressers. The setting is too perfect, he’ll casually drop “Rod Rosenstein is fired, by the way” and move on. He loves causing chaos, and he’s smart enough to know such a venue would cause far more sturm and drang than a tweet. Maybe not today, and maybe not Rosenstein, but it’s coming. Might be Sessions, or Mueller, Wray or Kelly.

Mark it.

I am a shit sandwich tosser?

I clicked on the link. Trump is speaking in a monotone (medicated after yesterday’s rant?) about getting other countries to pay more, and then he throws in the word reciprocal to make himself sound smart. I can’t take it . . . .

So just a second ago, Chuck Todd got all excited about the the accord between Moon and Jong-Un.

Meanwhile, Trump is complaining about how unfairly the Democrats treat “us.” I hope this miserable bastard gets no credit for North Korea. Moon has been working overtime to save South Korea from getting fried because he knows Trump is a nincompoop and doesn’t have a clue how to go about it. So Moon better fucking get ALL the credit.

But now Trump has moved on to bragging about how he’s gotten NATO’s funding more solid, and his effect on steel and aluminum.

Get the hook. I’m only listening and will not look at the fat fuck’s face. I only want to see Merkel. And nos she’s on.

My husband just left the garden and came inside to watch teevee. I assume he’s watching the presser, followed by the German commentators. I haven’t the stomach to watch but he will and then he’ll fill me in on the reactions.

I’ll let you know if the Germans report anything different than the US commentators (except Faux News, of course).

May not be sniffing anymore since Dr Feelgood lost his Nomination and has been exposed as a pill doctor. But then I can’t tell cuz I am not watching the presser. I can’t stand trumps visage on my Teevee. I’d just end up heaving some heavy object at it and scaring my dog half to death.

To me, the affect seems a bit different today. I didn’t hear sniffing, but Trump is speaking like they gave him downers.

Good question: “Does Trump think he will be the “closer” in a deal with North Korea?” He answered by nastily denigrating every other administration and president and pumping himself up - no surprise. Then he said that he, Trump, will be able to do it “for the world.” Oh, the grandiosity from an ignorant blowhard. Edit: He just added that we can “bank on it” that NK won’t ever do (his word) nuclear weapons again.
