There used to be a joke headline for a newspaper which read, 'CANADA DECLARES WAR ON U.S.A.' Trump has just taken all the humour out of it as he does with everything.
Trudeau states that he is not going to be bullied by Trump at a press conference, so Trump behaves like the maladjusted child he is by pulling out of the G7 talks and calling Trudeau weak and dishonest.
Someone said this morning that - like a child at a party - he wanted to skip the meat and vegetables of the G7 summit and go straight for the cherry on top of the pudding which is the meeting with Kim.
They once made a series of experiments with children by allowing them to choose what food they wanted from a table laden with cake, sweets and healthy options including vegetables. For a few days, they ate nothing but the sugary stuff as expected, but eventually settled down to eat the vegetables and continued with the healthy diet.
Real children know what is good for them in the long run.
Just remember that half of us in the US hate his guts. We are mortified and embarrassed to say the least. We keep waiting for someone to come and save us from him and just hope it is not too much longer.
ReplyDeleteHe has to be stopped - soon.
DeleteI agree with everything Donna just said. I'm horrified and embarrassed by Trump on a daily basis. I just hope that the rest of the world understands that most of us do NOT support this cretin.
ReplyDeleteI think we do, but the trouble is that he is going to destroy a lot of our stuff very soon if he is not stopped.
DeleteYour post reminded me of a kid at Sunday school parties when I was little. She always ate all the cakes while we were politely eating the potted meat sandwiches we were supposed to eat first. Then no cakes for us. The only consolation was that she didn't have any friends.
ReplyDeleteSounds very familiar...
DeleteG6+1
ReplyDeleteG6 -1 I think.
DeleteHe is rather odd in many ways a bit like a kid in a candy shop a rather old kid at that.
ReplyDeleteMerle...........
A rather rich kid too.
DeleteWell, there is a special place in hell for our Prime Minister as well. People are very, very angry here and the feeling is universal. G6-1 are lesser nations according to his administration. Republican silence on this is also pretty telling. They won't do a thing about Trump.
ReplyDeleteAs far as I can tell, all he did was say that he was not going to be pushed around. If it has anything to do with unfair tariffs, I thought that had been settled in the summit.
DeleteUnless things change, tariffs will start July 1. I hope for all our sakes, the Korean talks go well..
DeleteNot much is set to go well. All we can hope for is minimal damage.
DeleteI hear he's been 'tweeting' childish ya-boo-sucks rubbish from his hotel room. Can't wait to see how it goes with Fat Boy. Best buddies, no doubt.
ReplyDeleteMost people are predicting that he has played himself into the hands of Kim, who has already got great kudos from the meeting. Trump is going to be REALLY pissed-off if Kim makes him look like a fool. He will probably consider nuking him.
DeleteHe is Putin’s boy. I get more discouraged every day. What will he do or say next? I can’t believe what is happening to my country.
ReplyDeleteThere is a fine line between blaming the Russians for everything right now, and letting them get away with murder. Very complicated. The bigger the lie, the more it is likely to be believed. That works both ways.
DeleteDear World: Please boycott of all things American. I'll take the hit, since my stuff is sold in Canada, the UK, Australia, China, and South Korea, if only you do your part, World, and stop giving money to a nation that has let itself be shat upon by der Drumpf and the Republicans. If the world stopped buying American goods, then der Drumpf's base will finally see how they have been conned and they will be forced to support decency and intelligence and cooperation once again.
ReplyDeleteAll I'm asking is for six months, a year of living without bourbon, Coke, soy beans, jeans, Apple products, and whatever else it is that we sell you.
Thank you.
I don't think that will help Vivian. Look what trade blockades have done to the Cubans. Ordinary American people are suffering from the protest vote for Trump in the same way that Brits are suffering from the protest vote of Brexit. There are unpleasant people on both sides of the political spectrum, on both sides of the Atlantic, and they do not amount to 51% of the population. We have to unite against dark forces, and that is a cross-party thing. Most of us Brits are just as good people as most Americans are. Starving us will not help. (Written on an Apple Mac).
DeleteI just sat down after cleaning the house ( a marathon clean ) turned the tele on and it’s Rick Stein in Venice talking about bottarga !!!! Fresh, grated over spaghetti Vongole !!! XXXX
ReplyDeleteWell well! A good Vongole is really good. I may have - unwittingly - eaten Bottarga before!
DeleteP. S. There is no such thing as fresh Bottarga. That's called roe.
DeleteUnderstood ..... what I meant was the roe in the big lump rather than in the powdered/granular form !!!! XXXX
