[DFW]

Source: Raw Story

Known for bucking tradition, president-elect Donald Trump reportedly conducted himself outside the parameters of historical precedence in his first conversation with Theresa May, telling the UK prime minister she should let [him] know if she swings by the United States.

If you travel to the US you should let me know, Trump told May, according to the UK paper the Independent.

Civil servants were reportedly aghast by leaked transcripts revealing the conversation between Trump and May, particularly the president-elects nonchalant approach towards inviting a world leader over to his country. The Daily Mirror called it bizarrely un-Presidential.

According to the Independent, during his 10-minute conversation with May, Trump also disclosed that he was a big fan of the Queen and asked for his regards to be passed on to Britains longest reigning monarch. The paper added Trumps extraordinarily casual conversation with May stunned civil servants.

And if Trump gets us into another useless war and invites Britain to join in, perhaps Prime Minister May should offer, if any of Her Majesty's armed forces should swing by the area of conflict, to have them bring by some tea and crumpets before continuing on their merry way?

26. Per M's interview with someone.

Some ridiculously bizarre and expensive cream.

[KewlKat]

10. You can also bet he's not using any sort of secure phone lines to carry on these "informal"

conversations. Maybe we can intercept his conversations with ru$$ia.

Heard today he may not be living at the white house at all. Wonder how much extra it will cost the taxpayers to protect trumpunzel's tower?

[DFW]

11. "Hey Vlad?"

Trump: Hey Vlad? If you're in the neighborhood, please drop in.

Putin: Which neighborhood?

Trump: You know. Washington or Manhattan.

Putin: Been there, done that. You come to Moscow.

Trump: Why should I come to Moscow?

Putin: Because if you don't, I reveal to the American press how I own your election, which, by the way, you didn't win.

Trump: But I don't understand Russian

Putin: That doesn't matter. The clone I will send back in your place understands it perfectly

Trump: What makes you think I'll let you send back a clone in my place?

Putin: I'll call in all your debts if you don't.

Trump: Well, OK, but only if I get to build a Trump Tower near the Kremlin.

Putin: Sure. But I get the Penthouse. Договорились?

Trump, crestfallen: Да

15. President Donald Trump's Daily Security Briefing...

President Donald Trump's Daily Security Briefing

INT. OVAL OFFICE - DAY
A group of US military, FBI, NSA, and CIA officers enter the Oval Office and approach President Trump who is sitting behind his desk tweeting on his phone.

ARMY GENERAL: Mr President, it's time for your daily briefing.

TRUMP: Let me finish this tweet. Rosie O'Donnell was complaining about the 29% unemployment rate. (he presses send button) That will teach her. Someone remind me to audit her taxes after lunch. What are you people doing here?

ARMY GENERAL: Mr. President, it's time for your daily briefing.

TRUMP: Fine. Get on with it.

CIA MAN: Russia has moved two divisions onto the German border.

TRUMP: Of course, it's OctoberFest. The best beer. The best.

NSA OFFICIAL: North Korea tested 2 nukes last night, on Japan.

TRUMP: I told them to get their own nukes.

FBI AGENT: ISIS has taken over Israel.

TRUMP: You people call this a briefing! What's going on with my hotels? What is the occupancy at the Doral Resort? Are we getting full rate at the Old Post Office Hotel?

ARMY GENERAL: Mr President, we need to deal with these security threats. We're going to mobilize a Navy strike force in the Mediterranean Sea.

TRUMP: Has anyone even visited the open house for that condo I'm selling in Boca? Get out here. I need to call Ivanka for a real briefing.

The men leave the Oval Office.
Trump turns to his speaker phone on the desk.
The light on the button indicates an open phone line.

TRUMP: You get all that Vladimir?

A voice from the speaker replies.

PUTIN: Got it.

The End

[wordpix]

31. You forgot Ivanka and Jared in this scene

"Daddy, you do have to pay attention to international affairs since you have so many international properties to make us money. And North Korea wants us to occupy their empty marble buildings and maybe get some water going for the bathrooms so be gentle with Kim. His country is a money pit where we can do some great business and leave him with the bills"

[moonscape]

44. Not enough gold. I'm pleased if he stays out of our house, but

would Bannon be occupying it?

He'd continue serving water from the bottle at Trump Tower to heads of state I s'pose ... but then, he'd be missing all that revenue lost at Trump DC. What to do, what to do.

[TeamPooka]

13. The Ugliest American is now President-Elect. nt

14. Here in Europe, it is difficult to explain.

It doesn't help that my personal take is that a few key states were manipulated.

[CottonBear]

36. DFW: A question for you since you live in Europe:

Will Trump be protested like George W. Bush was whenever he traveled abroad in Europe and the UK?

I remember that streets and whole sections of cities were cordoned off so that the Bush motorcades could pass by. Laura Bush toured cathedrals devoid of people. Everywhere he went he was met with enormous crowds of protesters though he was kept at a distance or totally out of sight.

The one thing I can look forward too is ceaseless protests of Trump, Pence and the rest of the evil, bigoted GOP fascists soon to be in power.

[DFW]

38. He is just about universally despised here, and he hasn't even taken office yet

With all the (unwarranted and generous) media coverage from the States, they got to see and hear more than enough of him. There will be protests, but since there is virtually no support of him anywhere here, the protests might not be as big as they were for Bush, who was somewhat lower key is his offensiveness. Bush was, to a large degree, blissfully unaware of the extent of negative feeling towards him. Trump knows but doesn't care. He'll just point to the crowds, say, "See? They love me here," know perfectly well the opposite is true, and go on as if he knew no better.

[CottonBear]

39. Thank you for your reply.

I've been in a self-imposed news blackout.

I had not factored in Trump's massive ego into the protest equation.

My dear friend in Germany (a native and resident of Munich) has been sending me sympathetic messages via Facebook. She and her whole family are horrified by Trump.

I lived in Germany as very young child and have traveled there twice since then. It is a beautiful and wonderful country. You are fortunate to live there.

16. We have our IDIOT IN CHIEF !!!!!!!!!

17. Remember when President Obama was invited to speak to Parliament? Good times, last invite I'm sure.

22. maybe your neighbours to the north will ban him from entry

[area51]

23. The inmates are running the asylum.

[DFW]

24. Hard to believe we did this to ourselves.

And I have seen posts from people who are, even now, perfectly cool with this because they "voted their conscience." It's like a passenger on the Titanic voting for the iceberg because they thought the captain was too cozy with the House of Lords, or something.

A few decades ago, in Uruguay, there was a group of educated urban terrorists called the Tupamaros. Their theory was that if they caused enough mayhem, a fascist dictatorship would result, and then the people would arise, overthrow the government, and institute socialism. They were half right. A rightist government did take over. As for the rest, they're still waiting for Godot.

[yardwork]

37. The dangerously naive fools have been awaiting a revolution all my life.

Tried to start a revolution in 1968 - that got us Nixon. Carter wasn't pure enough, so we got Reagan. In 2000 we were told there was no difference between Gore and W, so vote your conscience.

Instead of a socialist revolution, we are descending into fascism as the delighted Republicans drag the country further and further to the right.

And the "true believers," in my experience, are the first to suck up to the authoritarians. There's not much difference between them and the Rapture Ready.

[NurseJackie]

25. A classless cad. He and his current wife are pure trash.

[get the red out]

27. Thank you!

Trash with money, gaudy a d rude as hell.

[BeyondGeography]

28. At least he didn't tell her she's not a 10

[DFW]

30. Being the British PM, that might have made for a hilarious misunderstanding

Trump: "You're not a ten"

May: "Whatever do you mean? I'm the Prime Minister. Of course I'm at Ten"

Trump: "Nope, far from it."

May: "Mr. Trump, the Prime Minister is ALWAYS at Ten Downing Street."

Trump: "Well, you may be a ten on the Downing Street scale, whatever that is, but on my scale, you're a fraction."

May: "Mr. Trump, please call back when you're sober. Good day." *click*

Trump: "What a b***h. Remind me not to invite her to the Tower."

[LeftishBrit]

33. If he comes here, I hope we can put him in the Tower! *The* Tower.

[DFW]

35. You won't hear a peep of protest from us.

So go right ahead!

As you might say over there, "sod the bloody wanker!"

[woodsprite]

32. Her corgis will bite him in the ass if he tries to grab the Queen's pussy. n/t

[Vinca]

41. ROFL.

[Kablooie]

42. It really is like a 70s sitcom.

You can just hear the laugh track after each crazy thing that goes on.

But it's real.
It can't be but it is.
