"After all that kissing arse at the Vatican, in Jerusalem and Saudi Arabia, I'm all touched out" says exhausted POTUS. Trump continued.

In haste, I will post the old thread shortly.

Of course. They deferred to him there.

No funny handshakes and all. I bet he got on ok with Theresa May though.

On G7 climate change...

"His economic adviser, Gary Cohn, said Mr Trump "came here to learn. He came here to get smart. His views are evolving... exactly as they should be."

No bloody hope then.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel said the discussion on climate change had been "very unsatisfactory", adding "we have a situation of six against one".

He can't make his mind up because somene now needs to draw him a pretty diagram that he can understand...

I hope this has pissed off Trump.

Prince Harry welcomed Barack Obama at Kensington Palace in London on Saturday during the former President's latest stop in Europe.

His eloquence stuns once again!

Trump, summing up trip, says: “Peace through strength. That’s what we’re gonna have. We’re gonna have a lot of strength and a lot of peace.”

There's more! - WTF does it even mean?twitter.com/philiprucker/status/868482436811935745
Trump: “We have been gone for close to 9 days. This will be 9 days. And I think we hit a home run no matter where we are."

He's repeating someone else's words, it sounds like.

The Beast's take on the alleged Kushner connection.

Oh it was Obama? The palace had the usually opened gates closed and armed soldiers at the back gate holding pedestrians back when a motorcade went by. I just thought it was a terrorist thing.

I'd've waved if I knew it was Barak! Hope he had a nice walk in the park before a spot of lunch at the Stick and Bowl (fabulous local Chinese greasy chopsticks).

Trump: “We have been gone for close to 9 days. This will be 9 days. And I think we hit a home run no matter where we are."

Classic Trump word salad. Total meaningless cobblers.

Good grief.

White House: We're not "going to comment on Jared" hill.cm/FwDK4MV

That's what I expected them to do.

Just catching up.

I thought earlier on about Trump's sister as in someone who could perhaps guide him or advise him. But she doesn't seem to be very much in his life.

Anyway, after watching Betty dodging questions as if she has studied in some of the private schools that receive vouchers and are failing their students (followed by Trump University), I was quite impressed by Rep. Rosa Delauro's closing remarks.

Be afraid, Betty, be very afraid.

They are trying to say, 'Well, of course there are backchannels. We have them with lots of countries. Jolly useful.'

They've likely lawyered up by now and a combination of legal advice and a change in comms strategy means that they won't answer anything in this area. Perhaps it will work. (More likely not - but we'll see.)

He can't make his mind up because somene now needs to draw him a pretty diagram that he can understand...

Oh, he can make up his mind. But climate change denial has been one of his flags along the bigly wall, keeping muslims at bay, repealing Obamacare and lowering taxes.

He just doesn't want to drop it, or needs to find a way to save his face.
His handler won't like it, though.

Guess which flag he dropped but is the only one that would be worth pursuing, btw.

He didn't quite drop it, I think. Just sort of out it by for the moment.

I never realised, by the way, that this was little Montenegro's first NATO meeting. Shame.
