  1. Yes, we know. Just about everything being reported in the books by ex-staffers was public knowledge when it happened.

  2. As was apparent anyone paying attention, except the fawning media that could always be relied on to carry his water.

  3. Wasn’t this the same thing the socialites of New York said of him like ~10 years ago? Like they laugh behind his back how dumb he is.

  4. he is a chump, and a bully.

    he’s always punching down, and kissing up. his tongue’s been so far up putin’s ass, he could taste the borscht putin had for lunch during their meeting.

    the man would do anything for personal favor, as long as he benefits, he’ll do it.

  5. as disastrous trump will be domestically he’ll be even worse when it comes to international relations

  6. He’ll NEVER stand up to autocrats. He wants to be one. MAGA is nothing more than pop fascism thriving on merch drops. 

  10. He’s the second biggest chump on the planet right now.

    All of his supporters are tied for first.

  13. This has been obvious to the entire world for at least 8 to 10 to 20 years. How has he gotten so far why are we dealing with this? This chump should be shark bait by this point.

  16. Everything with Trump is transactional. A compliment will get you something. You want state secrets, tell me I’m the best president. The Art of the Deal is always get something better than what you’re giving. Trump only wants for himself so feed his ego, whatever you want because in his mind he made out better than you.

  17. I think that’s the result of being an ignorant chump. 

  18. He’s the most insecure person on the planet, and probably the most gullible person on the planet as well.

  20. He was a chump. And we are tired of the media pretending he is not.

  21. John Bolton said the same thing. Wow – two experienced long-serving Republicans National
    Security Advisors both say Trump is a chump who couldn’t handle the diplomatic/ambassador stuff, which is, like, one of the most important parts of the job.

  23. It’s not too hard to figure him out. Just shower him with compliments and he’ll do/say anything you want.

  24. Some fool was arguing with me the other day about how world leaders fear him and that America would be invaded under Kamala.

    Trump needs to be in a nursing home, stat!

  25. Trump is just too dumb to know when dictators make fun of him or treat him with thinly veiled contempt. If they pretend to be nice to him, Trump thinks that they really think that he is great. Trump eats it up.

  26. I’m going to post this from now on whenever the topic of the media coverage of Trump’s weirdness comes up. We have a bit of modern “Schriftleitergesetz” going on here.

    >That access put the AP in a powerful position: Because it was the only game in town, it could report on things no outsider could see. But in return, claims Scharnberg, the AP submitted to the Nazis’ restrictive Schriftleitergesetz (“editor’s law”). Within Germany, the law put all newspapers and media outlets under Nazi control. It contained a clause that forbade reports that tended to “weaken the strength of the German Reich, outwardly or inwardly,” or that offended “the honor and dignity of Germany.” The result, writes Scharnberg, were images and stories that had “propagandistic intention[s].”

  28. Why can’t this paper just call him by the actual word, a bitch.

  29. A strongman who is actually a weak man. Cant make this stuff up

  30. As an outsider, he is a chump and they did take advantage of him…

  31. Is anyone else surprised that the tangerine terrorist has had his lunch stolen and eaten by foreign leaders? Because I’m not.

  32. He is a chump, and they all know he is Putin’s chump.

  33. They might treat him like a chimp in the future. Let’s see if any foreigners offer him banana like fruits.

  34. No shit, Trump is Putin, Kim, Xi, & the Talibans wet dream.

    A traitorous dumbass who’s more than willing to sell out this country for a quick buck and ego stroke.

  35. When Mexico came up in conversation, trump asked: “Why can’t we just bomb the drugs?” The guy is an actual imbecile.

  36. he is the easiest to manipulate.. throw some money at him and fake flatter

  37. I don’t think I like this Trump guy, he seems like bad news.

  40. Well if there’s anything I would agree with foreign dictators on, it’s that Trump is a chump.
