They didn’t deny or back down

Donnie Moscow is so easily baited. Definitely a weakness to exploit in the election cycle.

Call him a liar, a(n accused) rapist and point up all his broken promises then wait for the meltdowns.

When someone is a total asshole, and he writes off everyone who calls him an asshole, things can get pretty lonely.

“If he doesn’t like me than he can’t come to my party.”

Being a jackass is one thing. Behaving like one in public is really getting old.

Pelosi and AOC should invite Darroch to attend the celebration of the victory of the US Women’s Soccer Team.

Well… Actually, he’s the most beloved man in America at the moment, can join Rapinoe as the most beloved woman. Maybe he can join her at the visit to the Hill.

Thank you, Mr. President? Makes sense if he’s thanking Obama for this economy.

Otherwise, it is just more proof of terminal narcissism.

Oh! The tragedy! The tragedy!

that man just had to do his dissing in public. He could have disinvited the british ambassador and had him frozen out of all the usual diplomatic business quietly and let the punishment leak out, but no, he had to show that the assessment was spot on.

Most other ambassadors in DC are now hoping Trump can see his way to “punishing” them as well.

Maybe what they leak will be more informative than calling Trump dysfunctional.

Hmm I wonder if all of sudden there will be a host of other leaked memos from ambassadors voicing their honest opinion on the whiner-in-chief. I mean getting disinvited would be or should be a badge of honor.

I still can’t get my head around how a man so obsessed with image and branding can’t see how stuff like this looks to otherwise well-adjusted adults.
