The thing about old Joe Biden is that, even if he were senile, and he never was, he was surrounded by bright, educated professionals who knew how government worked. Trump on the other hand, is clearly senile but he surrounded himself with people who were, hard as it is to imagine, even dumber than he is.
As I have said on this forum before, I have a friend who is an architect in NYC. Back in the '90s, his firm briefly signed on to do a design for the Trump organization. My friend did design-concept presentations for meetings that included Trump himself.
He told me that Trump had a pathological need to be the center of attention at all times. He never sat through a presentation -- after a few minutes he'd claim to have another meeting and leave. My friend said that Trump's style of interaction reminded him of the coping strategies of some learning-disabled people he knew.
Back then everyone in NY knew Trump was an incompetent buffoon. Too bad "The Apprentice" ran as long as it did ...
So these schedule adjustments by NATO come as no surprise.
The name "Truth Social" has always irked me. It's closest in function to the Ministry of Truth from 1984. I think he should have stuck with the original Russian and called it Pravda. I'd love for someone to get an account on it and post messages as Krasnov.
In Europe, that text from Mark Rutte would be received as such an obvious, flagrant, visible-from-outer-space attempt at manipulation that it would get you absolutely nowhere with anyone over 6 years old. Thank God TFG doesn’t understand the shade he’s getting from Europe.
Wouldn't be delicious if, as soon as he steps foot on the ground, they arrested him and charged him with unsolicited war crimes and haul is lard ass in front of a Hague tribunal?
I guess some countries prioritize such things as healthcare, childcare, eldercare, and education over military bases all over the world, dropping bombs everywhere, quelling peaceful domestic protest and birthday parades. I wish I lived in one of those countries.
To be fair, Rutte’s text (like Macron’s White House appearance) was European for ‘You’re a giant baby. Here’s your binky. We are going to treat you like a grey rock.’

Perhaps hand puppets and cookies?
Merz and Macron took turns jingling their keys in front of Baby Dump so he would allow everyone to finish dinner without throwing a fit.

Too bad too many people who didn't live in NYC or NJ (and even some who did, I guess) *believed The Apprentice was REAL*
But he Truth Socialed the ceasefire and everything! He even said "Thank you for your attention to this matter."
What more can one do to deserve a Nobel Peace Prize?

Just forced myself to watch Drumpf's news conference from The Hague.
I can just see the thought bubbles.
{{{ Think I have time for a haircut? }}}
Why did you do that to your brain?
You can get credible reports of his relevant words later
The empty set. Yes.
"Cue that fucking Lee Greenwood song, we guess." It's turning into the Curb Your Enthusiasm theme by the minute...
Yakety Sax.
this administration is a sped-up Benny Hill clip over the credits...
All they need do is line up a bunch of Big Twucks and point TACO toward them.
Give him a gold Sharpie, some old magazines with photos of himself and he’ll be busy circling his hands and writing “they’re not so tiny “.

hey, you know what else is always meeting at the Hague?...in fact, it's HQ'd there....🤔
Maybe the No-Balls Pee S'prise?

Isn't this just the soft bigotry of low expectations? WELL ISN'T IT?
Why are the rest of the real leaders enabling this moron? I’m with Spain and Canada… call out his lies, his ignorance and let the world see it.
Enabling a narcissist empowers them, ignoring or shaming them is better. The rest of the world needs to “grey rock” FOTUS!
Narcissistic collapse for someone with his tiny finger on the nuclear button is bad, m'kay?
I hope they have a contingency for just such an occurrence.
