Another example of Trump's stupidity

[PJMcK]

Trump met with Putin in Alaska for a few hours and came away with nothing but "progress," whatever that means.

In diplomacy, world leaders almost never hold a summit until their staffs have ironed out the details to be announced at the summit. In other words, it serves no purpose at all for the leaders to meet if they aren't going to announce an agreement. After all, why go to all the logistical trouble if the meeting is pointless?

Trump obviously wanted another distraction from his Epstein files problem. What an idiot. He comes home from Alaska empty-handed only to return to more calls for the release of the Epstein files.

Trump is stupid. He's also an idiot.

1. Could have saved taxpayers a ton of money and just called him. It

was all political as hell and he should be forced to repay us for the cost of this political ad.

[Dave Id]

12. Trump could have saved taxpayers money?

It's not his money he's spending, so why would it concern him?

[Emile]

14. Maybe if he paid taxes, he would be concerned?

[Marcuse]

40. (!)

2. This was not a summit

it was a submission meeting, and I guarantee that Putin ordered the meeting and Krasnov complied in grand fashion.

This submission meeting told the world that the US has joined the league of autocratic nations, told the world that imperialism is OK, told Ukraine that the US will not support it, will not send arms to it.

It was bad enough that Krasnov agreed to Putin's demand to meet in the United States, but for fuck's sake, rolling out the red carpet, Krasnov and Putin riding together in the Beast, WTF, the Secret Service better scan the Beast for bugs.

What a disgrace, yesterday confirmed to me that Helsinki was not an outlier, Krasnov is a Russian asset. I bet Putin has a copy of the Epstein files.

[Emile]

3. WTF, the Secret Service better scan the Beast for bugs. No kidding!

Trump is a threat to our national security.

[rubbersole]

11. What putin has on tsf makes the Epstine files a quaint resume enhancer.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

17. Putin is not stupid. What he has on TACO Don cannot be pretty.

If push comes to shove, he will take TACO down and his entire family too.

Melania! You had best have BILLIONS tucked away to keep you in the style you have become accustomed to since 1998!

[FalloutShelter]

22. Red Sparrow will be taken care of.

One way or another.

[rubbersole]

44. Maria Butina was her disciple.

[colorado_ufo]

50. It was Helsinki 2.0.

[Lovie777]

4. Majority of the USA citizens aleady know the extent of shithole and comrades madness................

we are being terrorized by the cruel GQP.

[sop]

5. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov should have worked out the details

of an agreement before Trump even met with Putin. Maybe they did and imbecile Trump came in and blew up the whole thing. We'll probably find out more from Russian state media than we will our own "free press."

[The Madcap]

16. Good luck with that.

That slimy Lavrov would eat Rubio for lunch. Rubio is an amateur.

[llmart]

53. I watch CBC news in the morning.

This morning a Canadian analyst as talking about the failed "summit" and he said Rubio has zero experience and qualifications for the job he's been given and that if asked, he couldn't even name the districts in Ukraine or how the country is set up. But like everyone else that was chosen by the Orange Dicktator, he wasn't chosen for his experience or intellect, but for his obedience and loyalty to his master.

[sop]

61. Corporate media pundits said Rubio was the most qualified of Trump's nominees, that as a senior member

of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee he had the necessary experience to be an effective SoS, and he would be a steadying influence on Trump. Anyway, that was the conventional wisdom at the time.

[MadameButterfly]

24. There is no agreement possible

Trump won't go against Putin or back Ukraine against him, so why would Putin give him anything?
Trump needs the meeting to pretend he's doing something.

The question is how long can he pretend and convince his base he's even trying? I wonder if Trump thought Putin would cooperate as a favor to him, and he is now facing the humiliation of finding out he won't. Or did he always know, and this is just an act he has to play before he tries to put the blame on Ukraine and wash his hands of the whole thing?

[sop]

36. Trump: "So I'm going in to speak to Vladimir Putin. And I'm going to be telling him, you've got to end this war.

And he wasn't going to mess with me." He said much the same about Netenyahu and Gaza. Apparently, Trump thought he was dealing with CBS, or some weak-kneed university president.

[MadameButterfly]

58. Good point

He is used to bullying people and getting his way. He doesnt understand he has no leverage with Putin and Netanyahu. Or that they have been leading him on like he leads on his base. He actually thinks you can be friends with dictators and that that counts for something.

[Gimpyknee]

6. Distraction, distraction, distraction...

[Mossfern]

19. The distraction

only lasted for a couple of days, and I do have to say that there were enough people who saw it for what it was and kept up the mantra of "Epstein Epstein Epstein."

It's just another example of Trump shenanigans costing the taxpayers millions and millions of dollars.
I hope the ridicule of Trump collapses his narcissistic ego and he has a complete break down.

Now is the time for the Democratic establishment and the rest of us to hit hard with no let up.
In other words (I can't believe I'm saying this!) STRIKE HIM WHEN HE'S DOWN.

[calimary]

60. Do NOT let the Epstein mess get buried or forgotten.

We must NOT let that happen. He must have NO ESCAPE.

[NJCher]

7. Details worked out in advance

Would have been a good point for the media to make.

I didn’t hear anyone say that, at least on ABC coverage.

It would have helped people understand that it was another trump distraction.


P.S. everyone, keep Googling “Epstein” every day. Ten a day, if you can.

[PJMcK]

9. Googling Epstein

Do queries about Epstein affect their algorithms? If so, that's a great idea for keeping Epstein at the top of the search engines.

Do I have that right?

[rubbersole]

13. You do.

It's probably more effective than "calling your congressman" at this point. Our peanut gallery opinions are disregarded by the billionaire owned political class.

[paleotn]

8. Came away with absolutely nothing ,while Epstein's ghost hasn't gone anywhere.

Talk about an epic FAIL!!

[rurallib]

10. He should have at least cheated at a round of golf while he was there

[Topomi]

15. Wag the dog

This is always wag the dog we know it.

[doc03]

18. I think it was really another example of the news media's stupidity. As long as it works

for him, why stop.

[Dem4life1970]

20. It was an expensive photo op...

...that should've been an email.

Russia if you're listening, release the Epstein files!

[Martin Eden]

21. He's stupid enough to believe his personal relationship with Putin would end the war

And garner him a Nobel Peace Prize.

He's not only ignorant of the diplomatic work that must precede a summit meeting, but too stupid to realize he is nothing more than a useful idiot to Putin.

[RainCaster]

23. Begging on your knees did not win you an award

All you get is a mouthful of Russian sperm.

[returnee]

41. Spew-tin. n/t

[dalton99a]

25. And he let a KGB agent ride in the presidential limo

[Totally Tunsie]

42. LOL...the Brits know better.

They won't give l'il donnie a ride in the golden carriage!

Whaaaaaaaaa, Whaaaaaaaaaa

[Rebl2]

26. Yes trump

is an idiot and stupid and so are those he has chosen to surround himself with. If he had intelligent people around him, they would have known to have details of a ceasefire hammered out before they had a meeting.

[underpants]

27. Got two for you from yesterday. Numbers and geography

[colorado_ufo]

52. Whoa! That is appalling!

[Sneederbunk]

29. Will be kicking many golf balls this weekend.

[PJMcK]

33. Trump's cardies

Their nickname for Trump is Pele because he kicks so many golf balls.

[Borogove]

30. Trump and his administration are nothing but a Potemkin village and the facade is finally wearing off.

[PJMcK]

31. Everything about Trump is fake

Everything in his orbit is a facade. There is never any depth to the things in Trump’s pathetic existence.

[Sneederbunk]

35. TSF's deadlines for Russia proven fake. TACO!

[Dave Bowman]

32. Reminds me of Chamberlain and his useless piece of paper.

[malaise]

34. K & R

Failed to stop the Epstein’s flow

[slightlv]

37. And I'll bet he got dollars skimmed from the taxpayers' cost of the trip,

as well as Putin's next marching orders.

[Mblaze]

38. Putin and Trump

Aid and abet each other.

[czarjak]

39. We're doomed!

[Faux pas]

45. Lol like he cares about protocol????

He was there to help putin give us, and the world, THE FINGER.

[GoodRaisin]

46. He also has a stupid administration and stupid advisors.

He’s surrounded himself with “yes” people instead of experienced people who will tell him he’s about to step in shit. The whole lot of them are clueless.

[Boomerproud]

57. His supporters (cult members) are the stupidest of all.

[red dog 1]

47. Dumbest POTUS in history!

(Is he dead yet?)

[Evolve Dammit]

48. Safest place in USA to be IN the Epstein files. Another poster said that and it's true. Rich are Never accountable. Ever

[CaptainTruth]

49. Yes, & Trump is a traitor.

He should be in jail.

[SheltieLover]

51. EPSTEIN MAXWELL EPSTEIN MAXWELL!

[pwb]

54. When any Republican says look over here?

Look everywhere else.

[niyad]

55. He is also evil.

[Demovictory9]

56. Expert, straight talking diplomats have been fired. Mostly ass kissing faux nooze guiding him

[Trueblue1968]

59. He stinks. Filth. Poop. Rancid dead rats.

#TrumpSmellsLikeDeadRats !! Infested with white like maggot thingys.

[BradBo]

62. My dad always said you can be dumb but don't be stupid, that's Trump perfectly.
