Trump starts second grade on a high note
He might as well be six years old.
Q You seem to have a fairly warm relationship with a number of —
PRESIDENT TRUMP: I do.
Q — totalitarian or authoritarian leaders —
PRESIDENT TRUMP: And others.
Q And others. So, Putin, Xi, leader of the Philippines. Do you think you — what do you think — do you think you understand them in a certain way or relate to them in a way that other Presidents haven’t?
PRESIDENT TRUMP: I dont know. They had a story today in one of the papers about China. China likes me. China likes me. And I get along with them; I get along with others too.
I get along very well with Angela. You people don’t write that. I actually get along really well with Angela. You know, they had that handshaking event. I was with her for a long time before that. And somebody shouts out, “shake her hand, shake her hand.” And I didn’t hear them. So by not shaking her hand, they said — I have a great relationship with her. I have a great relationship with Theresa May. I have a great relationship with Justin Trudeau, who I just left.
I think I — I’ll be honest with you, I think I have a great relationship with every single one of them. Every person in that room today — you had what, 15, or so, or 18? Asia Pacific —
Q Well, 21 including you.
PRESIDENT TRUMP: Everyone in that room, I have a good relationship. They’re very different people, but everyone. And I do have a very good relationship with Xi, obviously. It’s the biggest state — it’s the biggest state entrance and the biggest state dinner they’ve ever had, by far, in China. He called it a state-plus. Like he said it — he actually said, state-plus-plus,which is very interesting.
But he’s — you know, look, again, he’s a strong person. He’s a very smart person. I like him a lot; he likes me. But, you know, we represent two very different countries. But we get along very well. And that’s a good thing that we along; that’s not a bad thing.
They like me! They like me! They all really really like me! They think I’m awesome! They ask me to sit with them at the popular table! They like me!
Six is way beyond his means. Mean, I mean. He never got two scoops of that cerebral stuff, just the usual cereal. Plenty of lead though.
Give Trump his due.
For a toddler to make it all the way from a billionaire’s mansion to Trump Tower, and then on to the White House is no mean feat. Quite a feat. In fact I’d say one helluva feat. Indeed.
And grabbing whatever took his fancy along the way.
In fact I’ll say it again: one helluva feat. Indeed again.
And that is not fake news.
Of course, Omar, if said toddler is given all the rides he needs, such as inheriting a large amount of money, having other people do the work for him, and stomping and shouting until he gets his own way, it might not be so impressive after all. My nieces could do all that stomping and shouting stuff when they were toddlers. I will say, it worked for one, but not the other, because in spite of what parents say, they do often play favorites (which is one reason I chose to only have one. Obvious favorite, no one harmed).
Basically, Trump has had a regent to supervise his entire princehood. Someone else has always had to clean up all the poop he throws, defend all his lies, and pay off the people he cheats (or grabs).
