Sorry just saw that is an old tweet

Grin

Tweets never die - and Trump's just keep on giving...

Orlantina · 08/04/2017 22:46

It would be an interesting game.

Who said this? Is it an old tweet from Trump criticising Obama or a new tweet criticising Trump?

No doubt available somewhere on the internet

MicrowaveSpy, I'm going to be hearing that song now too.Smile

Although I get the image of Kushner following behind 45 with a dustpan and brush and increasingly heavy litter sack, trying to keep the place looking sanitary despite the trail of litter 45 casually strews behind him...

Absent policy, Trump follows other motivations to military force

This is really clear at explaining the situation

How exactly would he be in charge of Trump Sr's finances then? They'd have to leave it all to Eric, eh? Somehow I don't think Trump would do that......

White House: U.S., China will seek to 'peacefully resolve' North Korean nuclear threat politi.co/2nskJ45

Yep.. that's why he's moving a Navy strike group closer to N Korea. Hmm

cozietoesie · 09/04/2017 00:39

He's seeking to 'persuade' the Chinese of his resolve. (I.e. He likes giving orders.) I don't think that meeting with Xi went that well.

Ignore the stupidity about his son as a potential Gov of NY. He doesn't like him enough to allow it.

AcrossthePond55 · 09/04/2017 00:42

Just when I think it can't possibly get worse, it does. I think Kim Jung Un is a squatty little punk, but he's basically a coward. But why provoke him unnecessarily?

GingerIvy · 09/04/2017 00:43

No I don't think so either. Xi and Assad have a decent relationship, even though Xi condemned the use of CW. I got the impression that Xi was not happy about the strike.

As far as Trump trying to impress Xi, I suspect it fell well short. The Chinese respect strength, not lack of control. They respect wisdom, not "shooting from the hip" as it were. He's not tweeted about their meeting, has he? I agree, I don't think it went well.
