Trump Says He Met With The President Of The Virgin Islands, Which Is... Trump

[Lenonis]

The issue I have with this is that there is a pattern of behavior here that indicates that Trump truly doesn't know which parts of the world are American territories, and therefore which areas are under his jurisdiction as president. I have no doubt someone had to tell him not only where Guam was when North Korea went all crazypants, but also probably had to show him on a map where it is.

Which...I guess is what you should expect when you elect a random businessman into the White House.

Anything to excuse incompetence right?

Not really incompetence.

More of an Ego, if you ask me.

And, that ego is a Capital A, with Golden Stars, and red/white stripes, and a Blue color.

[Jakexe]

Egotistical is obvious but I know egotists who are genius's so i'm laying it firmly on incompetence , or just outright stupidity at the point.

Well well well...

You sir, are the cat's meow of hypocrisy. I see HuffPo is a great source when it serves your unnatural and unhealthy agenda of hate...

I don't attack sources my friend. I leave that to others that have nothing better to do. You were mentioning something about hate and agenda there?? I think you need to take a look at the PoL section.



My Pappy has a sayin'. "I once thought I was wrong, but I was mistaken."

You just do what's convenient to support your dear leader. How's it feel to watch your integrity get torn to shred day after day?

[Grapemask]

That has nothing to do with why nothing ever happens. They report stories that actually matter plenty and they're discussed on this forum plenty as well. It's not like people forget about that shit because of this kind of shit.

Things don't get done about it because his supporters are essentially illogical worshipers at this point.

This is exactly why nothing ever happens. Trump's supporters are a minority. They're a large enough minority that they are still a loud voice that can press a point, but they are still very much a minority. That's why members of Trump's own party don't feel too bad speaking out against him. That's why Trump's endorsement can be, and so far has been, a kiss of death rather than a boost for the endorsed candidate. However, again, they are a large enough group that an unfocused angry horde can do nothing against them.

Yes, we talk about these things because yes, we don't forget. But I also don't forget that I can feel the nailstrip under the carpet in the doorway of my bedroom. That doesn't mean I'm rushing to fix it. Or, when you talk to someone about Trump, do you say "Can you believe that crap with Arpaio hasn't been answered for yet?" Or do you say, "Hey guys, guess what crazy thing Trump just did!" It's all just one more topic to add to the pile.

But more importantly, we are also a minority - us people who talk about these topics to death on these internet forums and may have deeper knowledge of specific issues. The public as a whole is reliant on media. Like folks here, the public as a whole also gets some nearly sexual gratification from flailing their arms at every stupid thing Trump does. But all they do is flail from one topic to another, and so long as they're not focusing on one, there is no press to answer for it.

Frankly, I've run out of outrage, and it's tiring to see everyone still hopping exactly the way Trump wants them to. Stop it and write or share some nice Pulitzer-winning pieces on the bullshit of the Arpaio pardon or the insanity of what's happening with the EPA or any of a dozen other major things, instead of some Enquirer-fodder "Trump used the salad fork for his steak, here's why it matters."

People make mistakes. People misspeak, it happens. Just posting an example of it, nothing more.

I constantly wonder if you guys think this phrasing actually convinces anyone.

[Polyxo]

I'm pretty sure that this is just Trump not realizing that Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands are non-State parts of the US, rather than foreign client nations or something like that.

[Taso]

Seeing that it’s huffington post I automatically dismiss this. I’ll check on realclear politics.

Or Washington Examiner.

Yup, yup, yup. I've taken to doing a bit of blogging to try to spend time on relevant topics to help me stay focused on what matters. It's not much, but it's at the very least cathartic.

Trump make mistakes all the freaking time, thats an issue for sane people.

There's making a simple mistake every so often and then there's doing it so often while being the President that you become an embarrassment with almost every sentence.

[jdbond592]

I think Trump met with the "other" President..You know...the secret "non-muggle" one..

[Mormolyce]

I hope the meeting in his head was fruitful.

It was terrible, the other guy just wouldn't stop talking about himself.

Like clockwork, the good 'ol 'two wrongs make a right' fallacy.

Well how else can they provide a justification for so, so many wrongs?

Not to mention he's a textbook narcissistic sociopathic meglomaniac... He genuinely thinks he's intelligent and will handwave his errors away aggressively

Have you suddenly become a toddler and reverted to mimicking as an argument?

You're a joke. It's honestly hilarious to watch you as your integrity is torn the shreds. Because that's a fact, this little desperate attack on me proves it. You can't even make an argument anymore, it's literally "so are you so what am I". Childish nonsense that i"m above. Have fun being shown as intellectually inferior to those you mock, that's all you achieve.

P.S You aren't nearly as smart as you think you are.
