Trump's Ugly American Tour
 
“Chaos.”
“Circus.”
“Laughingstock.”

"Those were just a few of the comments I heard in Berlin this week from senior European officials trying to make sense of the meltdown in Washington at just the moment when a politically imploding President Trump embarks on what he called “my big foreign trip” in this morning’s kickoff tweet."

If der Gropenfuhrer thought breaking into Manhattan high society was hard, he's in for a rude awaking in Belgium and Europe in general. ;)

"Trump's First Presidential Trip Abroad: What Could Go Wrong?" The Atlantic

"On my first presidential overseas trip I got stranded outside a Russian checkpoint, frantically texting sleeping colleagues about whether I could allow security guards to scan my bag. Later, in a McMansion-style villa on the Gulf of Finland, I staffed congressional calls on the proposed U.S. response to the Syrian chemical-weapons attacks, listened to an electronic accordion band with my boss during a late-night dinner, checked in to my hotel room around 3 a.m., and returned to the summit site four hours later. I helped draft, lost due to shaky IT systems, and then redrafted a joint statement on some crisis of the day, warned colleagues not to use the helpful USB drive “gift,” and returned to my seat on Air Force One hoping to sleep and confronted by a 3-inch stack of paper requiring immediate attention faxed to me by helpful colleagues in DC.
That was a normal day on a normal presidential trip." Loren DeJonge Schulman

A love based on big business...

I hope that we German people will give him what he deserves when he puts his stinky feet on our Fatherland's soil.

A speech loaded with signature hyperbole and salted with fibbing is being delivered at this moment. I'm waiting for the rest of the package with self, self self.

Pio1980 05-21-2017 10:08 AM

I didn't hear him soil himself and us with self promotion and grievances, which was novel for him.

So Ivanka gets a 100 million dollar donation to her "charity" in exchange for 110 billion in weapons of mass destruction which will make Trumps Ratheon stock soar.

Looks like a win win win for the trumps and another big "fuck you" to the american people.

No wonder Trumpolina was curtsying to King Salman. A cool $100 million for Ivanka's slush fund.

The 1% certainly knows how to help themselves while denying others the basics.

Let's see, the last stats, the 8 riches men have more wealth than the bottom 50% of the world population.

The top 1% own more wealth than the bottom 99% combined.

The biggest problem with healthcare is making sure billionaire investors get big returns on their investments, off the sick and poor.
