Trump hours late to meeting with Aussie prime minister, saying health bill "could change" [View all]

Honestly I think my level of disgust increases every day -- this arrogant jackass couldn't be more of an embarrassment to our country. He is a monster. Trump is HOURS late to this meeting b/c of the bill vote and also because Trump decided to "party" (CNN said "take a victory lap&quot with Paul Ryan et al. They just said that they've never seen a president spike a ball like this -- especially considering it hasn't even gone to the senate and no CBO score.

Trump behaves like an arrogant jackass -- acting like an arrogant "tough guy" and showing up HOURS LATE to the meeting with Prime Minister Turnbull (with whom Trump had the infamous nasty phone call -- Trump hung up on the prime minister after arguing about accepting refugees from Syria -- Trump didn't want them of course).

Trump just said that the health care bill "could change" as things go forward (no doubt he is trying to make it look like he is anticipating the changes the senate will make to this monster. Pretty much all of the commentators are saying it stands no chance in the senate -- and that the CBO score will have a major impact as well). Trump is making the most asinine comments imaginable to the prime minister, repeatedly saying that he had a "big day" like he is some sort of child -- and of course the usual bullshit about how Australia is "fantastic" and how they'll talk about the "big battle" (WWII -- about which Trump probably knows nothing except for what the speechwriter wrote for him). His childlike repetition of words drives me crazy. Fucking embarrassment.
