At an event with military leaders at the White House Thursday, President Trump cryptically told reporters that the gathering was “the calm before the storm.”

As Trump and First Lady Melania Trump gathered for a photo with the military leaders and their spouses, Trump pointed around the room and asked the assembled reporters, “you guys know what this represents?”

“Tell us,” one reporter said. Maybe it’s the calm before the storm,” Trump replied, according to pool reports.
Another reporter asked Trump if the “storm” was Iran or ISIS.

“We have the world’s greatest military people,” Trump said. A third reporter again asked Trump what the “storm” was, to which Trump replied, “you’ll find out.”

He just so wants a war to distract from his efforts at ethnic cleansing at home, as well as efforts to deny citizens the right to vote.

1. Those comments were disgustingly stupid ..

He displayed a shit eating grin .. the man is insane.

[madaboutharry]

2. The irresponsibility is overwhelming

Trump can not process the fact that every word spoken by the president must be measured.

One thing we can be certain of is that he is a moron.

9. It will be more irresponsible

if the military carries out his whims...The military knows that if a nuclear war erupts, there will be no winners, the whole planet will loose, that will be the end of humanity as we know it. Yes, there may be some survivors, but for how long? everything will be contaminated.

10. you misspelled

fucking moron...

3. I can't even imagine what's going through that head.

18. if we're lucky

4. great comments for

all the. people of South Korea I'm sure there sleeping great tonight. (our soldiers included)

6. Curious to see how the stock markets react in the morning. They hate weekend unknowns... eom

5. Video clip...

7. The first amendment does not cover dangerous speech - like falsely yelling "fire" in a movie theatre

I wonder whether his comment is legal?

[JoeOtterbein]

8. Good point. Sounds like crying fire. Hopefully, he is just crying.

11. It's so exhausting keeping up with and handling his bizarre behavior & statements.

He could mean something bad (definitely not good), or he could just be shooting off at the mouth for reality tv purposes.

[Honeycombe8]

12. He has done what dictators do: Schmooze the military & surround himself w/them.

It's possible he's going to try to start a war to detract from the Mueller investigation. I think the Repubs will go along with anything he does, as long as they get their tax cuts.

20. I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop, too

The Orange Anal Wart appears to be preparing himself and his regime for a reichstag moment. I fear that the moment Muller gets too close to exposing tRump/Russia connection he'll start a conflict with NK and/or Iran. He's aware that it would be highly unlikely he would be removed from office during a conflict, nuclear or otherwise. But, like you said, as long as the rethugs get their tax cuts.

21. Plus as of today if you are black and you identify that way, FBI says you are a terrorist

So watch for all kinds of sick shit, lots of death at the hands of the dictator.

[Honeycombe8]

22. I think that's where he's headed. I agree with you. nt

23. + 1

13. I also thought Melania's demeanor was weird.

He's saying this stuff and she's standing next to him doing her fashion model thing. It was bizarre.

[Scarsdale]

15. I think she "tunes him out"

Just waiting for her big payoff once this ass goes down in flames. Wouldn't it be a shame if when that happens, we all (including her) discover that he has no billions, or even millions?? Ivanka misses all the opportunities to show her gorgeous (yeah, right) self when she takes off for her weekend Jewish charade. Maleria is earning her keep, as dispenser of the meds.

14. He's like a child who can't keep a secret: I'll bet Putin cringed when he heard that...

and gave Trump a condescending tongue lashing some time later.

[Thor_MN]

19. He is thrilled with actually knowing something that others don't...

For a fucking moron that thinks he coined "priming the pump" or has to explain that islands are surround by water, actually knowing something that everyone doesn't is a big deal...

[DinahMoeHum]

16. Fuckin' drama queen.

[Botany]

17. He wants a war w/N Korea or Iran

The man is a danger to the world.
