Trump MAGAthread VI

[Nakena]

I love how Trump thinks fixing the Israeli/Palestinian issue is "Maybe not as hard as people have made it out to be" but healthcare is "harder than we thought" and whatever else he said was harder than expected.

Bribes to Abu Mazen.

I love how Trump thinks fixing the Israeli/Palestinian issue is "Maybe not as hard as people have made it out to be" but healthcare is "harder than we thought" and whatever else he said was harder than expected.

But seriously, he's way out of his league. His predecessors couldn't solved the issue, and he thinks he can?

The future of USA suddenly went grimmer than ever.

You know, maybe going in all half-cocked wasn't the best way to approach the job of the presidency.

Why he couldn't get his own loyalists on all those important positions, anyway?

Is it only black women not wearing headscarves that offend people in Saudi Arabia?

Trump doesn't have anyone for those positions. He's a political amateur with zero experience in government work and very few contacts in the same whereas he needs dozens of experienced civil servants for specialized roles in several different departments. I also sincerely doubt he understands the importance of filling those posts in keeping the government working more efficiently than it does now or even to secure the loyalty and discretion of his staff.

[Myrensis]

On the positive side, Hassan Rouhani comfortably won re-election in Iran, so at least Trumps childish tough guy posturing hasn't reinvigorated the hardliners.

[Ashmoria]

In my view the investigations against Trump are unpatriotic, politically motivated, and without factual basis. They should be discontinued so that Trump can properly govern the country.

With regards to Trump's firing of the Comey, I stand behind his decision. Comey told Trump he was not under investigation, after securing his position, he turned against his President by launching the torpedoes. He can only blame himself for his disloyalty.

the director of the FBI, the entire justice department, is loyal to the constitution and the American people, not the president.

Really? No one? But he's a businessman with hundreds, even thousands or millions of contacts and connections. Why he couldn't use one of those, if they are in America, of course. This administration has the chance of making the world suffers more, you know?

Iranians are perhaps not quite interested for a conflict.

Saudi Arabia is more complicated than most people seem to think. First, the level of offense varies widely. There's a religious police, whose job it is to get offended at anyone and anything. There are older people, who act similarly, but more as a hobby (as old people are wont to do all over the world).

And there are younger people, who vary between going to underground nightclubs to drink and dance in skimpy clothing to those who wear the niqab out of principle and think a madrassa will provide all the education anyone will ever need.

And most people in Saudi Arabia are young people. The place is changing fast demographically, and the economics of it have really changed over the past five years or so too. So rules are being relaxed all the time as popular support for them diminishes.

As for foreign dignitaries coming to visit... they can do whatever they want. Especially when they're from somewhere with weapons to sell. So this story about Michelle Obama causing massive outrage is, if you pardon the language, fake news. And coming back to the present, the Saudis have a huge shopping list for this trip, and they fully expect that as long as they place Trump around many shiny golden things, they will get it all. And they're probably not wrong about that either.

Saudi Arabia is a strange nation despite the strong religious population. They are mixed on both the traditionalist and the moderates.

[Ashmoria]

Leave the bill in Ivanka's office. She and her brothers are the ones running the "blind" trust, and since she works in the White House there wouldn't be any need to pay for postage.

Yeah, I meant a real blind trust.

Not whatever Donald thinks is a blind trust.

it cant be blind when eric told the press that he is giving his dad quarterly updates.

[Uxupox]

And have a stable region? No chance.

Why not?

Doesn't suit Uncle Sam.

To be honest, I was just mocking Trump for being a huge fucking hypocrite. Sorry for any confusion that I may have caused.

[Myrensis]

Didn't Trump also change the trust document to allow himself to tap into Trump Organization profits at any time without disclosing it?

[Ifreann]

Near-sighted trust?

[Colbert Super PAC]

Of course it's blind, Donald doesn't read the reports, so it's blind. No, he has someone read the reports to him, and nobody said anything about it having to be a deaf trust.

[Crockerland]

It's not about their internal ideology or politics. It's about who suits our interests more.

It doesn't have to be Iran OR Turkey, the US could have friendly relations with both.

Or, even better, neither.

[Thermodolia]

Also apparently Trump was complaining that his trip was 9 days? He wanted it to be knocked down to 5?

Like you're the freaking President...This is how things go. Jesus Christ.

Also wanted to land his helicopter on a World Heritage Site, was told no because it'd probably damage it, and he can get there like a normal person, and apparently just decided not to go altogether, and presumably hang out with the nice Saudi parties instead.

He like an evil cartoon business man come to life

[Frank Zipper]

I see Melania found Flava Flav's watchstrap... okay that's all my topical material.

[Gauthier]

From what I know most of that criticism was from the Saudis and other Gulf states making sizable donations to the Clinton Foundation.

I can't see them having many problems with bog standard diplomacy.

In Saudi Arabia, Trump is doing a speech on Islam. That should be interesting...

Edit: The guy that helped with the Muslim ban....wrote the speech Trump is going to make on Islam.

Guaranteed the speech is tailor made to suck off the House of Saud, especially if they cleared the way for Trump Towers Riadh.

[Athrax]

They gave Trump their highest civilian honor. That's almost as unwarrented as Obama's Nobel Prize, and twice as transparant.

Whoop, just realized I should probably add context

The world learned from Russia that you flatter Trump and throw in some sweetheart deals and he'll be your bitch.

I think it was the Chinese who learmed it first, but yeah. I just wish our President wasn't so easy to manipulate. It's rather embarrasing. Get him in a room with Kim Jong-Un and he'll be offering aid for missile development

sure did.

he cant live on $400k/year plus expenses!

Well, to be fair, who can. Aside from a normal person, that is
