At a press briefing on Monday, President Trump spoke about his upcoming meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin which he said was in Russia but is actually in Alaska.
I think he said it twice in this speech.

I guess the solid red tie *rump is wearing can mean more than just partisan colors for the party that enabled him to power?

(1,787 posts)I'm guessing they won't announce a plan to give away part of Alaska, but any agreement to do so will be kept secret until "later".
There's a pattern here. It's similar to Trump blurting out that his father was from Germany. Well, Hitler was from Germany, too. Connect the dots.

(65,542 posts)*rump is from the U.S. but I don't think he considers himself from any country, so much as a member of global oligarchs, and their power via subterfuge, but becoming more blatant is superseding the power of nations or states.
I don't believe *rump likes Americans or as per the Pledge of Allegiance, "What its' symbol stands for."
For that matter I don't believe *rump likes people in general, they're just objects to be used for furthering his narrow personal ambitions and self aggrandizement.
