Former President Donald J. Trump

I guess Putin talked him out of it. Vladimir Putin, Unlikely Voice of Reason. At this point, I'll take it.

I won't! That fucking Commie bastard!

You think Putin is a Communist?

Hardcore! Read his curriculum vitae. He's a Commie KGBeast and a neo-Soviet revanchist from way back.

[Hugh]

Putin is as much a capitalist as Trump is.

[Hepcat]

Putin is as much a capitalist as Trump is.

Which is not saying much. Moreover in Poutine's own words "Above all, we should acknowledge that the collapse of the Soviet Union was a major geopolitical disaster of the century."

Yet you say he's not a Commie! What then were Leon Trotsky, Georgy Malenkov, Lavrentiy Beria, Nikita Kruschev, Alexei Kosygin, Yuri Andropov and all those other "illuminaries"? Liberal democrats?

In what's possibly Trump's most ignorant gaffe yet, he's misunderstood a question about Western, liberal democracy to be one about Democrats on the West Coast of the U.S.

Putin's got to be loving this.

^seriously, I JUST typed this seven minutes ago and now THIS

Trump, Dumb as Always, Thinks Busing is About Transportation
“It is certainly a primary method of getting people to schools,” the president said

Woah.

Thing is, like, if he didn't understand the question, I guess I can theoretically understand that, but then why answer as though he does? Wouldn't he think it was a little weird that someone was asking him about taking school buses to school at a press conference at an international summit, as though he were being asked if he preferred polka dots or stripes?

Wouldn't it be better to try and tease out what the actual question was? Like, "Well, can you ask a more specific question?" and hope the interviewer breaks it down a little?

Either he thought he was being asked a question on par with whether he preferred stripes to polka dots, or he thought he could just bluff his way through and no one would notice he didn't understand the question.

Either option is absolutely unacceptable.

I think it’s classic “ Know it All” behavior. The man is an astonishing blowhard. What’s the point of trying to correct a guy like that?

Very true and heart break sad.

[KeithPratt]

No-one saying anything about North Korea?

[Jimbly]

apart from the photo opportunities?

[BARON CORNY DOG]

No-one saying anything about North Korea?

What’s to be said?

I wasn’t following the news this weekend but I gather the President has secured an agreement to restart talks he abandoned the last time they talked?

[Count Machuki]

apart from the photo opportunities?

Photo op for the USA, major propaganda score for N. Korea, domestically and internationally.

We lost face (again) for Trump's damn ego.

[Count Machuki]

He's going to win another term, isn't he?

[Davey the Fat Boy]

Nah

[Count Machuki]

*whew*

That's good.

[Count Machuki]

No, really, I feel like the people who voted him in are just more and more entrenched in their views. And the "lol let's own the libs" sentiment is just getting stronger. If he's got the power of lies and stupidity on his side...well, it doesn't fill me with confidence.

Every month or so I just get this dreadful feeling of despair that we're gonna have 8+ years of Trump.
