Showing Original Post only (View all)My Thoughts on the Roundtable with the Euro Leaders [View all]
They spoke, one by one. Trump looked like he was listening. But, then, he responded with something that had nothing to do with what the individuals said. When one leader spoke about the children in Ukraine who had been kidnapped and relocated, Trump responded by talking about trade agreements. He did not hear nor did he register the discussion about stolen children. It was as though he didn't hear it at all. He nodded politely, but heard nothing.
Trump probably does not actually understand what they are saying, so he nods knowingly and says something positive. That what he says doesn't relate to what the other person has raised is so obvious. It's also frightening to me, frankly.

He's probably been fed his talking points and is regurgitating them as instructed
