Trump is upset the world is mocking his meltdown, so he begged aides to say he was 'calm.'
Trump spoke at a Thursday White House event that was supposed to be about helping farmers and managed to turn it into a bizarre public therapy session to soothe his hurt feelings about negative news coverage.
Trump has been widely criticized and mocked for petulantly shutting down negotiations over infrastructure with Democrats on Wednesday.
As farmers and other officials stood behind him, Trump called upon several of his White House underlings to reassure him that, in fact, he had been very "calm" during his meltdown the day before.
"I walked out, I was so calm, you all saw me minutes later, I was at a news conference, I was extremely calm," Trump said. He wasn't.

I really would like to know if the two "dudes" in the kooooooooboy hats are corporate farmers, and the "guy" in the red hat, how much money is / are they taking from the taxpayers to subsidize this bullshit of standing in that room looking like they would enable treason, which is happening......................from an asshole that should have had his ass spanked when he was younger....................for misbehaving.....................absolutely amazing.......................

Tired of the repub farmers who crap out folks on 'entitlements" then help themselves to "subsidies". Just a a matter of semantics there.
repubs pay for their votes w treasury dollars. SEE CHURCHES TOO. Pays to vote repub...if you are one of these or a corporate owner or on wallstreet. American infrastructure first. FIRST.

(82,849 posts)Remember when he went around the table at a cabinet meeting and made everyone say laudatory things about him? I can just see Trump, after the cameras and reporters had left the room, looking around the table, and saying, "Never forget how I made you say that today."
