He's gotta be in a state of rage tonight, folks.
He had to serve up a half-baked "apology" (more of an "I didn't say that, it was fake news reporting," even though it was on tape) to Theresa May.
He DID NOT get to ride in the golden carriage. He had a 20 minute tea time and photo op with the Queen. Hell, that's barely enough time to finish a bloody scone!
AND he stepped right in front of her and stopped on a dime while the cameras were rolling.
AND there were 12 indictments and EVERYONE is dragging up the "Russia, if you're listening" clip.
AND, if he goes behind closed doors and there is NOT A PUBLIC RECORD of him spanking Putin's ass instead of kissing it, that plane ride home on Air Force One will be the equivalent of a perp walk.
Once again...PLEASE, MISTER PRESIDENT, STOP WINNING SO MUCH!
BONUS POINTS: Kim went to a fucking potato farm instead of meeting with Pompeo.

(51,584 posts)HE DOES NOT! He is a SOCIOPATH and a NARCISSIST! There are no meds or any amount of therapy to even begin to curb these personality disorders. He can NOT be helped. He must be eliminated...via the real American patriots and not the treasonous, deplorable sheep. RESIST! PROTEST! Call your REPS! VOTE!

(58,785 posts)now in the face of Trump-presidency stresses if it wasn't before.
Trump has a bunch of feelings in his own disordered way to worry about. His no good, very bad day could, of course, very well turn into the rest of the planet's. He always follows up having to back down before others with yapping and snarling once he's retreated to a safe place, and now as president giving orders to strike out. Smart Americans should expect more pain at home.
This tweet just now comes after a whole string that track well, may be by his tweet guy while he steams and stews. "Still hurting!" no doubt.

(51,584 posts)of his destruction but the beginning, especially after he meets with Putin. The moron is the typical bully who is really a coward when confronted and alone.
He is so crazy that he is STILL tweeting about his electoral win and not the popular vote. I guess he will tweet out another oldie but goodie (no wait, badie) about the SIZE of his inauguration crowd and his latest ratings. I taught first grade and my 6 year olds were more mentally mature than the moron in chief.

(58,785 posts)about Trump's probable suppression of the Global Fund's fight against TB in NK. At least he's being accused of it. NK's full of TB, one of the planet's big hot spots, and the possibility that more drug-resistant strains could develop there and escape around the planet is horribly real.
Btw, DR Congo's in the middle of its 9th ebola outbreak -- in remote areas that are very hard to find and dangerous for forward teams to try to establish control in. At least Trump's initial decision to mostly dismantle the CDC and Surgeon General's teams have been backed off somewhat if not entirely.

(51,584 posts)Not only did he destroy their staffs but also the current research and access to previous research. The depts can't even publish info on their govt sites. With Climate Change there will be new and more diseases from around the world, we need full funding and staffing. Fortunately we still have a few allies left who will share their ongoing research with us.

(58,785 posts)its efforts on many fronts. A lot of Republicans much more capable of understanding than Trump still aren't really aware that many nations have developed advanced capabilities. Of course, many of those who do know it are more likely to be alarmed at the reality of competition than reassured and glad.

(40,203 posts)President Obama and Michelle were given a formal state dinner where President Obama wore a tuxedo and the Queen wore a tiara. Then the Obamas slept at Buckingham Palace.
The 47 minute tea offered to the Trumps was a clear message.

You are right. The Obamas were invited over, for Trump it was "how about stopping by at two?

(60,010 posts)Her Majesty STOOD the entire time, waiting.
There is zero excuse for him to be late.
The troop reviewing thing, from what I saw on the news, was him being a bit confused, actually. He froze as if he did not know what to do . Remember this is the same guy who was filmed walking away from his car that was waiting right in front of him,
when he deplaned from AF One, and filmed wandering off in at least 2 previous public occasions.

music: Lou Reed's "A Perfect Day"
shot of the Trump Baby Blimp and London demo, intercut with a shot of Trump screwing up the review of the guard with the Queen
audio: Trump saying "I would give our relationship the highest level of 'special', and now, especially after these 2 days ..."
shot of sign "Scotland Hates You"
Presenter: "A Perfect Day ... except for all those awkward moments. What just happened? Somewhere between comedy and tragedy, the Trump circus came and went. He had the Queen running literal circles around him, and the PM looking ready to cry. Ed Miliband tells us why he took to the streets:"
"His racism, his misogyny, his respect for authoritarian regimes and his apparent contempt for democratic regimes ..."

(18,837 posts)As a major Lou Reed fan, I could go into the multitude of reasons why that was a perfect choice.
Some commentators have further seen the lyrical subtext as displaying Reed's romanticized attitude towards a period of his own addiction to heroin. This popular understanding of the song as an ode to addiction led to its inclusion in the soundtrack for Trainspotting, a film about the lives of heroin addicts.[3]
