President Trump is spreading holiday cheer by … bragging about how he’s ready to unwrap whatever North Korea’s “Christmas gift” would be.

“Maybe it’s a present where he sends me a beautiful vase as opposed to a missile test,” Trump said. “Right? And they get a vase, and they get a nice present from me. You don’t know.”
Beyond parody. There won’t be a single Trump Supporter who defends this. They’ll only attack anyone who mentions it, because they’re all smarter than he is and can’t admit they only support him out of spite.

Out of spite.
Correct. Pointing to an unfinished American task facing us.

Pentagon: Sir, it’s a Juche Bird.
Trump: Oh, that sounds very nice. Is that a vase?

You got played like the easiest mark who ever took a shot at three-card monte, Stable Genius, and now our alliance system in the region is crippled in a way that might take decades to fix if it’s fixable at all. Your handler Vlad is delighted. The entire world knows what happened. But treat this as something to strut about.

"Trump then sarcastically suggested that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un could send him a “beautiful vase as opposed to a missile test.”
Something as tasteful and restrained as the man himself.

So this posing, strutting idiot thinks this is a game for his personal amusement? Fuck you, Trump.

N. Korea is closer to Russia than Washington, DC is to the state that Lindsey Graham “represents”.
This is a non-story in the short term…but we have a lot of work to do in all of the earth’s hemispheres–Northern, Eastern, Western, Southern–when this abominable man is removed from Office.

That’s great. One megalomaniac taunting another. California is not far enough away from NK for this to be a joke, not to mention Seoul or Tokyo! The do-tard thinks it’s going to be a test, but based on what? He doesn’t listen to the IC.

Yes, many of them voted for Trump out of spite for Hilary Clinton, irrespective of where that spite came from.
The trick will be to run someone against Trump about whom it’s difficult to be spiteful. I’m coming around to Joe Biden. Trump intuitively knows Biden is likeable, and that’s why he tried the Ukraine pressure, which backfired. Trump can’t paint Biden as a socialist, as he’ll do with Warren and Bernie, and they’re not that likeable because, let’s face it, they’re sanctimonious. Biden also comes from middle America, where Trump was strong last election. Vote Biden, so long as he keeps up the good work as it appears he did at the last debate.

["Let’s see what happens,” Trump said. “Everybody’s got surprises for me — I handle them as they come along.”]
Substitute “My 24-hour-a-day-365-day-a-year-enablers” to “I”

Beyond the malignant narcissism and possible dementia, he’s also incredibly nihilistic. He doesn’t care about their missile tests because it doesn’t affect him personally. In fact, if the whole world ended with his death, not only would he not be unhappy, I think he’d be quite pleased.
Between Trump, Barr, Pompeo, and perhaps Pence, we have the most nihilistic Administration in history.

May it blow up in his face, . . . figuratively speaking, of course.

This has been in the back of my mind for several days. So Cal not far from the coast.
This is so unnecessary. Normal presidents would never behave like this. Dog save us.
