Trump bashed for babbling about the weather during G7 appearance with France's Macron

[left-of-center2012]

On MSNBC’s “Up with David Gura,” Princeton University African American studies professor Eddie Glaude harshly criticized President Donald Trump for his inability to discuss world issues at the G7 summit, saying that not only is he unprepared for diplomatic negotiations, he doesn’t even understand how alliances work in general.

“For Donald Trump, it’s always a matter of winners and losers, not a matter of friends and enemies. It’s what have you done for me lately.”

“The notion of alliance that emerged out of the post-World War II era, that brought this era of ‘peace,’ has been tossed to the side by Trump,” added Glaude. “When you combine that with Trump's utter ignorance, I mean, let’s just be clear. Trump's a collection of stupidity.”

“Let me add this, too, when you saw the lunch, Macron laid out his G7 agenda,
and Trump sat there talking about the beautiful weather,” said Glaude. “He’s completely out of his depth. Trump has no clue what to do while at the G7."

1. That point by Glaude doesn't get enough emphasis in the day-in, day-out analysis of Trump's lunacy

“He’s completely out of his depth. Trump has no clue what to do while at the G7." It's not just the G7, it is true for everything.

Most of the time Trump says something crazy about the topic of the day, it is because he has nothing useful to say about it -- because he's always way out of his depth, utterly clueless about what the status of everything is, what his options are, what the consequences of those choices are, and what he should be doing. On EVERY policy topic. So he babbles and bullshits and ultimately says a lot of empty word stew with a dollop of crazy on top.

4. This. Just babble and bullshit. His trademark.

[OldManTarHeel]

7. Yep . . Babble and bullshit is all that he knows, all the whilst, seeking the spotlight in which

he will not receive this G-7 go round.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

12. Seeking the spotlight . . .

Well at least this time, he won't be able to push Dusko Markovic out of the way. Markovic was the Prime Minister of Montenegro that trumpie shoved aside at a NATO conference. When he was called out for that by another head of state, he snottily replied, "That's YOUR way." Then he puffed himself up, jutted out his chin and stood there like he was the only important person in the room.

What a boor.

2. This guy nails it right on rump's mental abilities (zero)...everytime I see rump on TV or else...

where, I don't actually hear words coming out of his mouth, I actually hear 'la la la la, la la la la la. La la la etc.', in other words, not a damn thing (pardon the language). This guy shows off his competence on a hourly basis by demonstrating how stupid he actually is. I am surprised that someone hasn't come up with a show that would sort of parallel 'are you smarter than a 5th grader?'

In the new rump reality show I'm proposing, the show would be titled 'Is DJT actually as dump as he really is?'

The show would have plenty of examples to draw upon.

29. He speaks fluent Bafflegab

[cwydro]

3. A collection of stupidity.

Perfectly put.

[Demovictory9]

5. embarrassing

[struggle4progress]

6. Dare to be stupid

[KY_EnviroGuy]

8. Trump thinks G7 stands for a golfing party of seven.

Quite a large group to do 18 holes with Secret Service people and so many golf carts in the way.

Watch tRump claim a 10-stroke win on Twitter......

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

43. And we know that Trump cheats at golf.

[yaesu]

9. that was his climate change input so he can come back and tell his moron followers

that he has everything under control.

[Doitnow]

10. Even the word, "alliance," is beyond rump's grasp. I have the notion that it means something having

to do with people working together for their general benefit---- which rump has obviously never experienced in all his life.

[Fritz Walter]

11. How quaint!

Everyone else at this meeting is focused on climate. As in “global (and possibly irreversible) climate change.” And the best that Putin’s bitch can manage is a comment about the local weather?


Even as more tropical weather systems form — including the one threatening south and central Florida — that’s all he has to say?!? And it’s only just August!

I wish that “over his head” was just an expression here. As in, “during his next visit to his S. FL. resort, the storm surge would rise over his head.” But there are way too many coastal residents who don’t have Secret Service and other federal resources standing by to keep their shoes and socks dry. Meanwhile, nature wreaks her revenge on the rest of us.

[LibDemAlways]

34. Trupites, like Trump, don't understand the concept of

climate change. I once worked with a moron Republican who proudly proclaimed there was no such thing as global warming because it was cold outside. That's how stupid these idiots are.

[Ginger42]

13. No doubt he's pissed off

that the G7 isn't at one of his properties. Why even bother having these things if it doesn't make him some money?

[irisblue]

33. I bet his minions try for next years G7 meeting at one of his golf courses

[smirkymonkey]

14. I knew it was just a matter of time before he became an embarrassment at the G7.

He can't go anywhere without shaming our country with his ignorance and vulgarity. It's humiliating for all of us.

[tblue37]

15. Since he never knows what he's talking about, you'd think he'd want to avoid

having to talk about things he hasn't learned about, like a kid hoping not to get called in because he hasn't done the reading.

But instead, he insists on going on at length, babbling for an hour or more, endlessly repeating the same meaningless generalizations:

"We're gonna do great. It'll be terrific. We have a great plan.You'll be surprised at how terrific it'll be. We have a lot of great, terrific people working on this amazing plan. They're really great, amazing people. Just terrific, really terrific."

[left-of-center2012]

17. "like a kid hoping not to get called in because he hasn't done the reading"

My mother was a substitute teacher and one day when I was in 3rd grade she was my teacher.

She called on me for an answer and I had not done my reading homework.

I'm 73 now and still recall how embarrassed I was.

[Kaiserguy]

18. Problem is Trump

doesn't now that he doesn't know what he is talking about. He thinks he is a very stable genius. Just ask him

[HipChick]

19. He's just winging it..and hopes no one notices..

All eyes are on you...

[FakeNoose]

23. Well yeah, that's how he's done everything

... his entire life. He's thinks it's working great too, he can't figure out what everybody's problem is.

[HipChick]

38. It's like we don't deserve him..

[gratuitous]

16. He didn't want to go, and it shows

If you've ever dragged an eight-year-old to something he doesn't want to do, you've seen Trump at the G-7.

[True Blue American]

20. Trump even had trouble getting out

Of the SUV. Hauling that bulk out.

[Blue Owl]

21. He was a fattish but active man of paralyzing stupidity

[gordianot]

22. Trump is well into having a "psychotic break with reality".

There is really a good chance he believes what he says. In short this is not a con or ruse, an attempt to maintain his base, or deflection of facts. He may actually believe what he says and what most people know is actually false.

[dixiegrrrrl]

31. The lovely thing is,

it doesn't matter what/how much he knows. From an outside view, he is qualifying for an Amendment 25 charge.

We are all watching the symptoms, every damn day. What he does and what he says = that is what is important, not what he thinks about his mental illness

[gordianot]

42. His reality changes constantly.

It may be he does not realize basic right or wrong, when his behavior is harmful to others or himself.

[Snake Plissken]

24. They must not have Fox News at the hotel he staying at, so he watched the Weather Channel

Trump's intellectual capacity consists of the last 20 minutes of television he consumed.

[alfredo]

28. Glad it wasn't The Three Stooges

[A HERETIC I AM]

30. There was a story a while back that indicated the advance team now has to set up several TV's....

in his hotel room when he is overseas and has been rigging up a dish for him so he can get Fox News when he travels to other countries.

I shit you not. On the first trip abroad he apparently came unglued that he couldn't get Fox on the hotel TV, so in order to placate the 12 year old in chief, they make sure now that there are 3 or more TV's and an American style receiver/channel lineup.

[Hulk]

25. He's an idiot, that's why.

And he is "representative" of MILLIONS of amuriKKans. Nation of morons....and this guy is the head dumb ass.

[yardwork]

26. A lot of people voted for Trump because he's as stupid as they are.

We've been spiraling down as U.S. culture embraced the idea that stupid, lazy people are better than smart, hard working people. First it was the preference to "have a beer with" W. Bush rather than vote for actually smart, accomplished people like Al Gore and John Kerry. The lazy people who resented the smart kids in school got to take this race to a whole new bottom with Trump.

I hope they're happy with how it's going.

father-in-law was so anti-college that he refused to congratulate my husband when he finally graduated after plugging away for many years at night. There's a "he thinks he's better than me" attitude that goes along with it. Very unfortunate and creates a less informed citizenry.

[yardwork]

40. I think it's a serious flaw in U.S. culture.

It's gotten much worse during my lifetime. Somehow resentment, laziness and meanness have been elevated as values above hard work and generosity.

It's time that we progressives stop tiptoeing around and start calling this out for what it is.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

32. tRump so used to burning 2nd tier NYC contractors he thinks he can burn global alliances. . . . nt

[Skittles]

37. was he trying to take credit for the weather?

[Botany]

39. I knew there was a reason I turned off the MSNBC when they showed him

The man really is shit on a stick.
