He needs to be careful - his relationship with SA Is imperilled by this.

Talking about which, what are Javanka up to?

He didn't "like" the chants.

There's lies, big lies and Trump lies.

Heads down but not because they are ashamed.

American Patriots greeted Congresswoman Ilhan Omar with chants of “Welcome Home, Ilhan” as she arrived back home in Minnesota. I love this

And another tiny bit of poisitivity

UK politicians are among the signatories of a message of solidarity with Democratic Reps. Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, and Ayanna Pressley after President Donald Trump suggested they should "go back" where they came from.

@bjcreigh
Now Trump’s spreading an unfounded rumor that
@IlhanMN
married her brother.

He is beyond contempt.

There is footage attached to the tweet of him saying this

Yes. She's an ideal target for him, isn't she?

Have you ever wondered what's the last straw regarding Trump?

Trump's campaign takes a swipe at 'liberal paper straws' and sells Trump straws for $15

Whosorrynow · 19/07/2019 11:38

He wasn't happy about the chants, yeah right
He is the conductor of this orchestra of swivel eyed loons

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 19/07/2019 15:15

I do not credit that Trump's supporters thought of that chant all on their own any more than they thought of "Lock her up", which was told to the actors there to make it look crowded as a good thing to shout.

And he says that someone asked him about Ilhan having married her brother; d'you suppose that anyone did?

cozietoesie · 19/07/2019 16:03

Trouble with a POTUS who lies so easily and comprehensively is that you start to believe the 'other side' ie Iran's denial that they shot down their own drone.

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 19/07/2019 16:21

I don't think the Iranians picked a fight with the USA, certainly.

Lweji · 19/07/2019 18:07

Old article, but I don't remember seeing it and it has just come up on my FB feed

"Returning on a visit to Kallstadt in 1901, Trump fell in love with Elisabeth Christ, whom he married a year later, returning with her to the US. But when she became homesick and wanted to return to Germany, the authorities blocked his attempts to settle there."

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/nov/21/trump-grandfather-friedrich-banished-germany-historian-royal-decree?

Huge fail. We wouldn't have President Trump now.

Lweji · 19/07/2019 18:08

Shooting their own drone is just the sort of harebrained scheme you can imagine them coming up with.

Iran reportedly seizes UK oil tanker in the Persian Gulf. BBC and CNN links

AcrossthePond55 · 19/07/2019 20:17

Per CNN a 2nd tanker has now been seized. A Liberian one.

I'm sorry if I sound dense, but for what purpose? To provoke retaliation? To 'flex' muscle?

AcrossthePond55 · 19/07/2019 20:28

And the latest:

www.businessinsider.com/trump-praises-supporters-who-chanted-send-her-back-as-patriots-2019-7

Now praising the crowd in NC who chanted "Send her back". They're 'incredible patriots'.
