I like the bit in the transcript where Trump says quote:What is the thing with boats? Why do you discriminate against boats? No, I know, they come from certain regions. I get it.

lolquote:Trump at other moments sought to sweet-talk Peña Nieto, telling him that “you and I will always be friends,” and that if they could resolve their disputes over the border and trade, “We will almost become the fathers of our country — almost, not quite, okay?”

They helped hide Nazi's after the war. And helped Hitler get to power using the Catholic Church within Germany. And made Hitler the last pope.

Owlofcreamcheese posted:Speaking "from the cathedral" like that is a really big deal. A big deal to the point that even when popes were a major political power and quasi ruler of large parts of europe they stayed away hard from that stuff. Like there is only a handful of things ever in all of catholic history spoken as infallible church doctrine and it's almost all very basic stuff about like, what happened to mary when she died and if you go to heaven when you die or after the judgement day. It's all theology stuff. So, nothing then? Just tradition. Even if that is such a big deal, let's just say it's an interview or a press conference then.

They conspired with the Nazis to start in order to guarantee their continued influence particularly in Bavaria, and stopped only when it was clear Hitler had played them like a fiddle and they were no longer benefitting from the arrangement. At no point did they actually disavow fascism or the inevitable human rights abuses which occur under it, as seen from their perfect willingness to be a tool of the state in Franco's Spain, in exchange for certain benefits.

Oh my god. I can't believe these words left a U.S. President's mouth. quote:Trump: So we have a lot of problems with Mexico farther than the economic problem. We are becoming a drug-addicted nation and most the drugs are coming from Mexico or certainly from the southern border. But I will say this – you have that problem too. You have some pretty tough hombres in Mexico that you may need help with, and we are willing to help you with that big-league. But they have to be knocked out and you have not done a good job of knocking them out. quote:Trump: Now getting back to the taxes for second, I have been given as President tremendous taxation powers for trade and for other reasons – far greater than anybody understands. The powers of taxation are tremendous for the President of the United States and if you study that you will see what I mean. quote:Trump: I want to tell you we are going to put a very substantial tax on the border coming into the United States because, honestly, we will not want your products unless your products are going to be taxed. I do not want the products and lesser tax. quote:Trump: Look, I was just elected with a majority - a huge majority - and a lot of them were hispanics. This will be good for our economy and the wall will be good for all of us. Lots of hispanics voted for me and they have family in your country. They will send money back and say, "We love this great Trump economy. Why isn't Nieto on board with Trump?" quote:Trump: You gotta stop telling people that the wall won't work. The wall works for everyone. You know, you look at Israel – Israel has a wall and everyone said do not build a wall, walls do not work — 99.9 percent of people trying to come across that wall cannot get across and more. Bibi Netanyahu told me the wall works. quote:Trump: We have also hired at least 15,000 more men and women on the border – patrolling the border very carefully. I would love to continue talking. When Jared said, “the deal is off,” I was glad. Jared has a great feeling for the plan [the border wall], though I know it would be politically much more popular in Mexico. Edit: lol, this is how he ends with the President of Mexico: quote:Trump: It is you and I against the world, Enrique, do not forget.

Trump is legitimately stupid as gently caress.quote:Trump: Do you know four years ago Malcom, I was with a man who does this for a living. He was telling me, before the migration, that if you were a Christian from Syria, you had no chance of coming to the United States. Zero. They were the ones being persecuted. When I say persecuted, I mean their heads were being chopped off. If you were a Muslim we have nothing against Muslims, but if you were a Muslim you were not persecuted – but if you were a Muslim from Syria that was the number one place to get into the United States from. That was the easiest thing. But if you were a Christian from Syria you have no chance of getting into the United States. I just thought it was an incredible statistic.

Robot Hobo posted:I'm thinking the people saying this is secretly a "vacation" to hide a medical procedure might have the right idea. I'm half-expecting Trump to mysteriously stay off-camera for a while, then suddenly appear with a super-obvious facelift and liposuction and whatever other cosmetic procedures he thinks will make him look better. He'd deny that any such thing happened, of course, even when we could still see the fresh stitches. i dont think trump has the ability to admit to himself that anything about himself is imperfect at all

for what its worth this is the sort of leaks that are actually really bad and shouldn't be happening - and never happened before these convos are supposed to be kept tight so that leaders can be honest with each other and get stuff resolved and all the people involved know that...but they apparently have no respect whatsoever for trump so here we are!

Trump just said he had great relationships with other world leaders. So of course that's a lie. https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2017/politics/australia-mexico-transcripts/?utm_term=.01c9017e0263 Holy loving poo poo, he keeps calling the Mexican President by his first name while Peña Nieto only uses the more formal Mr. President. I really like how he asks the Australian President to say hello to Greg Norman for him. Like the President of Australia is likely to just bump into him. I'm not sure if Norman even lives in Australia anymore.

With New Hampshire being close, it wouldn't surprise me if a long time ago Donnie thought "there were probably thousands of illegal votes in New Hampshire so actually I probably won" and then his addled brain, playing telephone with itself, eventually translated that as "I won New Hampshire."

If Australia leaked this it would be a debacle. Major diplomatic incident and people in our Foreign Affairs department would be in jail. This is not a good sign, but does mark an amazing new phase of insanity.

Yeah, if Trump somehow changed the law to allow a third term (not that I think he'll win a second), Obama would absolutely run again and absolutely crush him. Also I'd love to see more-experienced-Obama on the back of a blue wave.
