Are We Feeling Liberated Yet? - Trump thread #141

[Spandauer]

King Donald has bigly new tariffs, First Lady Elmo turns out to be ballot box poison and 'Pick Me Girl' Vance is a meanie to the EU.

(But at least the penguins on the Heard and McDonald Islands are wearing suits)

Nice of the good doctors at Walter Reed to attempt to look for his soul. Is that routine in a medical stateside?

Presidents get the extras.

He was given the cognitive test questions and answers the day before. He studied all night long.

Who else read that and thought :

Dear Leader is 224 pounds? 😂

Posting this just because it would annoy him so much

We live in interesting times ...

A friends wife has just felt the urge to post on FB about his losing £12k in the past 2 weeks from his pension. She explicitly says "thanks to Trumps tomfoolery".

So far mutual friends have been either kind or exhibiting just how much they had drunk when we all met up last year, and were treated to a diatribe about how Trump would sort the US out and if only we had Farage in charge here to finish off the "bloody brilliant Brexit" he won for the UK.

She was on board, until this it seems ...

The leopards were not supposed to eat my face.

They should replace that portrait of Obama that Trump removed with that photo @Wallaw just to annoy him every day.

It's good to know that there is a limit, even if she brushes his dreadful behaviour off as tomfoolery it sounds as if she has reached a tipping point, that might make it easier for others to admit they made a mistake.
We can only hope that Trump gets his Gaddafi finale.

Looks like Trump's physician can't spell as well as not being able to accurately read weighing scales.

Trump’s medical reports list “scaring on the right ear from a gunshot would” as a “significant” abnormality.

The mini panty liner on the ear was the scariest thing.

I'd like to see a picture of that scar
as I am now firmly in the ketchup camp

Me too!

Plus - strange that The Donald hasn't shrunk in height at all given that he's almost 79 years old and he's been 6' 3" since his youth.

Which is a load of bollocks - everyone starts shrinking from their 40's onwards.

So markets up or down tomorrow?

The Guardian thinks up:
US stock markets expected to recover after Trump drops tariffs on mobiles.

But Lutnik shooting his mouth off may result in a different outcome.
From Fox Business analyst, after Howard Lutnick said this morning on the Sunday shows that the tariff exemptions on tech were only temporary.

I suspect the markets are going to start getting weary of the USA and sell bonds to move money elsewhere

Shocked but not surprised. Deliberate, it seems.

It's not a particularly comprehensive medical report. A lot of normals on it. What is normal? Normal for a human, a baby, a young adult or a pensioner? Is normal for a pensioner good enough for such a responsible job?
Did they take his BP when he was asleep? How long had he been still for before they took it? Why mention 99% on room air? Had he been on oxygen prior to this being taken?

I don't think it's worth the paper it was written on.

Normal for Norfolk

Fiona Hill is not prone to hyperbole

I've got a lot of time for Fiona Hill.

Too bad they didn't listen more closely to her in the impeachment hearings.

Probably taking notes from Tanzania, right now.

Yes, she was spot on, remember it well

Jesus imagine having to do Trump's colonoscopy.

Mind you, it must have been quite the tight squeeze, guiding the camera, pushing past all those people who currently have their heads up there.

Hoping you've all had your dinner everyone. 😊

I wouldn't believe anything in that medical report..

His tiny hands are typing about tariffs again. Just when you thought it was safe to go back in to the water...

Thing is China doesn’t have an electorate to placate so they are not so willing to kiss up.

He is such a tiresome twat. The US is going to get frozen out of everything meaningful in the longer term. Making America irrelevant

What on earth does that even mean. It’s literal waffle.
