| | Re: Will Trump be a Good President? | Quote: | |  | | | <<Ms Daniels was arrested for allegedly letting a customer touch her on stage "in a non sexual manner">>
Now that is totally inappropriate for a porn-star, right? 
If this is a set up it won't change a thing for Trump - but of course Trump has his own logic .... | | | | | "setup" seems to be the right description! | Quote: |  | | | Charges against adult film actress Stormy Daniels for allegedly touching three undercover detectives while performing at an Ohio strip club were dismissed Thursday, her attorney said. | | | | | Source |

Seriously?! Almost sounds like Trump personally organized that, it's so stupid!
And that is what US-detectives do on tax-money? | This user would like to thank curley for this useful post: | |

Another day in paradise | Quote: |  | | | The Trump administration on Thursday said all eligible children under 5 years old who were separated from their parents at a U.S. border crossing have been reunited, two days after a court-mandated deadline.
Meanwhile according to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) who are actually handling the reuniting; only 57 children out of 103 in HHS custody were reunified with their parents. | | | | | Source
Problem is we are all used to the multiple lies; it all just passes us by!
More meanwhile!
Trump is denying that the N.Korea negotiation has fallen in a hole by quoting a letter recently received from Kim. Problem is while the letter is very flattering to Trump it contains nothing specific about the negotiation or next steps Source
Trump says North Korea has returned 200 POW remains Source
The Pentagon has yet confirm even one POW remains has been returned; North Korea even failed to attend a meeting today about returning soldier remains Source |

How loved would I feel if my friend wrote to me in Amharic?
Then again, as Trump can't read, it doesn't really matter, does it. | Quote: | |  | | | Trump says North Korea has returned 200 POW remains Source

Still, I gotta say, I am so grateful that Trump always tells us when something is a good thing. |

Tom | | | | | Some bloke called Colbert made reference to Trump alledgedly being spanked with a copy of Forbes magazine by Stormy Daniels. Hence the new nickname, "Spanky".
Such things work nicely in making opponents feel smug and superior, but do little to address the actual issues. Unless playground taunts really can bring down leaders of countries.

Great success today at NATO! Billions of additional dollars paid by members since my election. Great spirit! | | | | | Nobody knows what this "Great success today" was?
There was nothing new in the NATO meeting summary declaration that Trump also signed here which also reaffirmed the plan for countries to reach their 2% spending goal in 2024.
There was a lot of Trump rhetoric at the meeting but nothing changed as a result.
Maybe Trump thinks his followers are so dumb they will simply believe it was a great success for him without requiring details?

President Trump vowed to reverse that flow, raising concerns that refugees were not being vetted well by the United Nations. He pushed to cut refugees to 45,000 a year |

As President he simply set the cap on refugees at 45,000 which is a decision within the Presidential purview. Not a big deal for him, somebody wrote the order for him and he signed it.
It is not like he had to negotiate with anybody or convince someone. Source | This user would like to thank marton for this useful post: | |

They should've made one of Boris to keep Trump company.. to leave him floating about on his own is just plain rude.
