No one tell him about the us Hyundai and Kia plants while he's in Korea. I'd really rather not have him visit

God, we really are living in a lovely alternate universe's version of Veep

i think i said it before but I'm convinced that we live inside the tv show that the characters of Veep watch to feel better about politics. Like, we are not the real world, they are, and we are just the parody being written by alternate-Armando Iannucci.

you're joking, but im pretty sure I saw somewhere that this is literally how every foreign ally approaches him now - by just stroking his ego so he'll do what they want.

which I think has the unintended side effect of growing his ego so he becomes even less reasonable

The thing is studying politics in the Middle East and Saudi Arabia in particular is not like studying it in the US. Here politicians have to publicly communicate their intentions to donors and to mobilize supporters. Our free press is free to report events of consequence as they occur. In SA the princes don't have to take clear positions on anything, and the press will blatantly lie about anything and everything to fit the governments agenda. There's hardly anything better than speculation regarding what is happening right now, because it all hinges on the secret schemes and machinations of a tiny set of Oligarchs. Anyone not directly involved in a position to know what's going on can't say anything anyway; they're too busy keeping their head down and trying to avoid being purged.

our very mature and diplomatic president got bored feeding fish for a photo op, so just dumped the whole box of fish food in at once

edit: I dunno what a good analogy is, pretend he was going around shaking hands with world leaders but got bored halfway through, said gently caress it and left

while also abusing animals

This kind of genius innovation is why Trump is President. Why slowly spoon feed the fish when you can just dump the whole box in at once? Brilliant.

Doesn't look like there was much left in the box, anyway. Of course, they probably made sure there wasn't much in the box to begin with.

According to far right Daily Caller, Rene Boucher (the guy who beat the poo poo out of Rand Paul) is a registered Democrat who posted anti-Trump content to Facebook.

http://dailycaller.com/2017/11/04/rand-paul-assaulted-at-his-kentucky-home/

Daily Caller posted:

A Facebook account that appears to be maintained by Boucher contains numerous anti-Donald Trump postings.

On May 17, Boucher posted, “May Robert Mueller fry Trump’s gonads,” a reference to the former FBI director’s investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian government.

There are no postings on the account about Paul, though there are many others that criticize Republicans in general.

Boucher shared one post from the Occupy Democrats account citing left-wing academic Noam Chomsky’s criticism of the Republican party.

Imagine if Trump was having formal tea with the Queen of England and other UK dignitaries, but halfway through he got bored, poured his cup of tea on the floor, and asked if he could watch TV with KFC and a Diet Coke.

like, it's extraordinarily loving dumb and defeats the whole purpose of a pleasant relaxing respectful outing with the Japanese PM, but

I guess Abe didn't really pay much attention to Trump because by now everyone should know that you don't let him take part in anything related to culture or that requires a somber or respectful atmosphere because he'll make a mockery of it somehow.

I mean the Saudis already had it figured out that you stroke his ego, keep him the center of attention, and show him things he understands like huge screens, big crowds, and glowing orbs.

The thing is, I sort of get the impression that this was Abe's attempt at giving Trump a cultural/respectful thing that he couldn't possibly gently caress up. I mean, you put the spoon in the food, pick it up, and then drop it into the pond. Trump can at least do that, right? :downs:
