'It's got my name on it. You have to let me sit in it and pretend to drive.' Donald Trump gave a closed-door speech to Republican donors in Missouri yesterday, but the Washington Post got its hands on a recording of the talk. Trump told a hilarious story about how he does diplomacy: by just making shit up, as long as it sounds tough. He seemed really proud of how he took that cocky Justin Trudeau down a peg with his genius for fast thinking:
OMG, did you guys just see Poot Lips on the TV? Why in hell if Sleepy Carson gets a fancy dinette set and white Savior Barbie gets to fondle all the money can't poor Poot Lips get a decent make up and wardrobe person? The giant solid or floral sacks and Marge Simpson pearls are not flattering. Her hair is droopy and she has Kardashian raccoon eyes. It's cos they hate the gays, I tell you. They all look like shit because they have driven off the stylists.
"We can't bust heads like we used to. But we have our ways. One trick is to tell stories that don't go anywhere. Like the time I caught the ferry to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for m'shoe. So I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. "Gimme five bees for a quarter," you'd say. Now where were we... oh yeah. The important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. I didn't have any white onions, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones..."
We know how Trump's faux-tough guy tactics will work out. His proposed tariffs on imports of steel and aluminium are stupid because experience tells us that they are self-harming as well as self-defeating.
Self-harming because they will push up the price of steel and aluminium in America. And while that might help the metal-making firms, it harms the many more metal-using firms, American businesses that need the metals to build their products….. for ex…
EU-US trade is more complicated than conveyed by the US president, pointing to the fact that if Americans produce cars, they need a lot of components from Europe. So if Trump is to slap tariffs on these components, it would impact the competitiveness of US carmakers, leaving only losers in the end.
At this point I'm honestly not sure what to be more afraid of. Trump triggering a war with North Korea, the UK getting targeted by Putin's retaliation, the USA's retaliation to that or if they accidentally bomb the wrong place if it escalates. Help us https://uploads.disquscdn.c... Baggins and your terribly old green hippo.
Sanders lies for Trump about Trump admitting to lying
DOTUS lied about meeting
So, the timeline here, as far as I've been able to put together:
Wednesday afternoon, Don the Con boasts of having lied to Trudeau about trade because he was unprepared for the meeting they were having. Apparently feels this is a thing to brag about because ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Wednesday evening, reporters and economists report that Trump boasted about lying, confirm that Trump's lies were lies (Canada has a slight surplus in goods being traded with the US, but it's far outweighed by the US's surplus in services to Canada).
Thursday morning, Donnie Little-Fingers goes on Twitter, insists that his lies were totally true because it's something he says about US trade with everyone. We're expected to find this convincing because ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Thursday afternoon, Shucksterbee holds press conference. Claims that Hair Fuhrer was telling the truth about US trade with Canada and is too smart to need figures to back this up. Despite having known this would be coming up, doesn't have actual data to support her claim.
Thursday evening, Canada says they're not sure what meeting Trump is talking about, but the discussion mentioned most closely resembles a phone call between Trudeau and Deadbeat Donnie, rather than the face-to-face meeting that Drumph claims.
So, Don apparently lied about having lied, then claimed that the lie he was lying about was true after it was confirmed that his lies were lies, then made Sarah go out and once again claim that the lies he had lied about telling were still true and all the facts were wrong.
Me, too!I'd druther go through 20 rears of HOA minutes than spend one more minute with mphtr.
Say, did you know Fud is a brand of cold cuts?Found in most Latino markets.No, haven't tried it/them.
The soothsayers left with Nancy Reagan.
I see what you did there. And, having seen, the image shall haunt my waking nightmares to the end of my days.
everyone...stop being polite

Wasn't that pretty much the "business plan" for Trump University? Just make some stuff up, toss it out there, and see if some suckers will buy it.
We used to call it a Swedish Lunchbox...at least I did
And they end every sentence with "eh?" They're taking all of our "eh"s!
A 30% Tariff on interjections will fix their wagons.
So to put in a nutshell:
He lied.He knew he was lying.He knew Trudeau knew he was lying.He lied anyway.
What's the name for that again?
"Donald Trump lies about how awesome his lies are, because they're actually true. Which is a lie"
