Trump: "I've been asked to arbitrate disputes -- pretty big ones -- from ... friends"

Aaron Rupar
@atrupar

Trump during bilateral meeting with Pakistani PM: "I think I would be an extremely good arbitrator. I've done it before, believe it or not. And I've never failed as an arbitrator. I've been asked to arbitrate disputes -- pretty big ones -- from ... friends."

Uh, "not." How would an arbitrator fail, anyway? Needy Amin is just so stuck on himself.

It is dangerous to the tune of 100,000,000+ dead if India and Pakistan go to nuclear war over Kashmir, but this buffoon with no social tact, no diplomatic skill, no clue of what the issues are or even where they started...yeah, he is going to "be great at it".

Donnie, listen carefully, FUCK. YOU.

Traitor Trump to be an arbitrator of anything......ever.

Yeah his kids fights, his wives and mistresses fights...maybe, maybe an employee trying to kiss his ass. But asking him to arbitrate is like asking a stupid demon to do it. You know whatever he comes up with will be evil and self serving.

And how do you know if you failed as an arbitrator? Most times in arbitration, there is someone who is unhappy with the decision. I once heard a good arbitrator say he knew when he made the right decision because both parties were unhappy. To me that's not success. Can you ever make both sides happy in an arbitration? I kind of doubt it.

He is such a stupid petty little criminal.

First of all, he doesn't have any friends. Secondly, he doesn't have the faintest clue what an "arbitrator" is and I'm pretty sure he doesn't know what "dispute" means either.
