A White House official told reporters that President Trump is "exhausted" just three days into his first trip abroad as president.
Trump was expected to say "Islamist extremism" during his speech to Muslim leaders in Saudi Arabia, but instead said "Islamic extremism."
When asked why Trump deviated from the prepared text of his speech, an administration official said Trump is "just an exhausted guy."
After the speech, Trump reportedly canceled his appearance at the Tweeps Forum. Ivanka Trump filled in for her father, speaking to about 400 people at the event.
Gee, only three days into his trip and already Trump is sucking wind and making mistakes?
Kind of surprising considering the fact that his doctor made the following claim:
"If elected, Mr. Trump, I can state unequivocally, will be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency."
Interesting.
Also interesting is that Politicususa reminds us that there was a certain political opponent of Trump's who demonstrated substantially more stamina:
Hillary Clinton who refused to telecommute and visited 112 countries as Sec. of State. Hillary Clinton spent 401 days traveling which equals 1.099 years.
Trump couldn’t last two full days.
Well of course the Russians would not want the most vibrant and capable candidate to win the White House. So they chose the walking orange heart attack.
Trump won't last a four-year term - either through death (heart attack would be my guess) or impeachment. Either way, it will be nice when he is no longer in the news every minute and second of the day on CNN and MSNBC! I've turned them both off - just watch the local and state news and movies!
ReplyDeleteHe is a horrid potus and I use the term loosely! He's a joke to the world!
I've gone to my porn discs and Weather Channel. IM and wonkette make sure I know what the degenerate geriatric punk is up to; I don't need him on screens every moment too. I'll take doses of Hayes/Maddow/O'Donnell here and there, but not every night and the repeats till five in the morning.
DeleteLast Friday on Bill Mahar, Boris, dons other friend, claimed Don will be elected a second term.
DeleteI did too. Sick of the dementia patient and scoundrel gop.
DeleteSouth Park, Archer, Bob's Burgers and all things cartoon fill my spare time, that and Science channel crap. Never witnessed this buffoon actually speaking or seen him in action but it's going to be a long 4 years, that's for sure, unless he is somehow actually caught red-handed doing something illegal, which at this time seems rather unlikely.

Trump was expected to say "Islamist extremism" during his speech to Muslim leaders in Saudi Arabia, but instead said "Islamic extremism."
DeleteOOPS DID I SAY WHAT IS IN MY HEART?
DON'T WORRY, WE WILL TELL THE LAME STREAM YOUR FAT ASS IS TIRED
The term "extremism" is usually meant to bepejorative; that is, to express (strong) disapproval.
I guess those curtsies tire out the little princess.
DeleteWhy only *now* are they using that lame-azz excuse? Up until recently, he's bragged about that unbounded STAMINA, all while staying up all hours of the night ( albeit watching teevee and Tweeting his brainfarts). No; he misread a simple WORD that any fifth (hell, THIRD!) grader could have mastered. And he was reading damned slow. So slow at least one person fell asleep during his speech! Add to that his now undeniably unhealthy physical state, and the stress of *knowing* that his world is crumbling around him... yeah, "walking orange heart attack" is dead-on.
ReplyDeleteI don't think that Trump can read very well and that would make him a very slow speech reader. It must be hard on his audience. I wouldn't know because I "mute" any words spoken by Trump from the television or computer screen. I cannot stand his voice. Because he sounds out every word, you can predict what he's saying by just watching the screen. Admittedly, it's not much fun looking at him either.
DeleteBeaglemom
You and me both.I hate the sound of his voice and always mute him.Every day I think this has got to be a nightmare and I'll wake up.
DeleteMaybe he can use taxpayer money to install a lift chair on the steps to AF-1? Fat, sloppy lardass is a disgrace. I resent him going overseas and showing the world what a bunch of idiots Americans are, voting for this lump of orange crap.
DeleteI hope for a heart attack for him every day. I would not care if he were assassinated, but my conscience will not allow me to hope for that. A natural death or incapacitation does not seem such a big ask to the universe.
ReplyDeleteI agree linda. Every time I see him going on AF One I say "please crash please crash..but it i the safest plane in the world and they have parachutes....
Delete6:14 PM - right there with you both. I was chastised here big time during his campaign...."you're talking about innocent people on the process!" I give you 9/11 and don't care.
DeleteBut Pence is no brighter and no more aware of constitutional obligations than Trump. We're in big trouble no matter what happens.

DeleteTrump Humiliates Himself By Not Knowing That Israel Is In The Middle East
ReplyDeleteWhile speaking in Israel, Trump told the Israelis that he just got back from the Middle East, apparently not knowing that Israel is in the Middle East.
Watch Israeli ambassador Ron Dermer (on the right couch) put his head in his hands when Trump tells Israel that they aren’t located in the Middle East.

DeleteImagine if he had to travel like most of us, in coach!! He has luxury accomodations on AF-1. Clown. I must have missed it, WHEN was Ivanka elected to high office? In a country that denigrates women, they sent her cosmetically enhanced, Botoxed to the hilt face out there, representing the US. They really do think they are royalty.
ReplyDeleteJeb Bush is screaming into his pillow "I'm the one who has low energy and he can't last two days? WTF
DeleteThey claim Trump is exhausted or is it dementia?
ReplyDeleteTrump was expected to say "Islamist extremism" during his speech to Muslim leaders in Saudi Arabia, but instead said "Islamic extremism."
In other news, the president is a grosdly overweight, out of shape, 0 year old man who stays up all night watching came need for stories about himself. Of course, i'm exhausted.
ReplyDeleteFor a president so given to fantasy and fond of alternative facts, Donald Trump has been right about one thing all along: His government is a shockingly leaky vessel.
ReplyDeleteThank heaven for that.
It’s not judges or senators who will save us from the worst of Trump, which is most of Trump. His undoing will come from within. Be as cynical as you want about Washington — I certainly indulge myself — but there remain insiders with consciences, and some of them actually work for the president. They’re willing to work against him if circumstances warrant it. Circumstances have been warranting it, and here we are.
What we’re witnessing is astonishing. I don’t mean Trump’s actions — including the reports that he divulged highly classified information to Russian visitors and had asked James Comey to lay off Michael Flynn — though those absolutely qualify. I mean how reliably these details reached journalists. I mean how reliably Trump’s outrageous behavior always reaches journalists, as government officials use the very media that he demonizes to expose his malfeasance, ridicule his cluelessness, warn Americans about his intentions and head him off at the pass.
This much leaking this soon in an administration is a powerful indication of what kind of president we have. He is so unprepared, shows such bad judgment and has such an erratic temper that he’s not trusted by people who are paid to bolster him and who get the most intimate, unvarnished look at him. Some of them have decided that discretion isn’t always the keeping of secrets, not if it protects bad actors. They’re right. And they give me hope.

GEE KEEP THE NUCLEAR FOOTBALL AWAY FROM THE OLD GUY
ReplyDeleteGee, only three days into his trip and already Trump is sucking wind and making mistakes?
Three days into his trip abroad Donald Trump is reportedly "exhausted."
ReplyDeleteWINK WINK
You do realize what's going on?
This is Trump's excuse to quit his Presidency for medical reasons and avoid his embarrassing impeachment
Is Trump tired from grabbing all those pussies on his first trip? Is that why melanoma yanked her hand away from his little bitty hands in front of the world?
ReplyDeleteIs Mike Pence excited about the events overseas and is preparing Trump's funeral speech and his inauguration speech?
ReplyDeleteBlood in the Water
ReplyDeleteDonald Trump has left the country for his first foreign trip as president and what he has left behind is a brewing crisis that appears to deepen by the day, and even the hour.
There is a sense that blood is in the water, that Trump’s erratic, self-destructive behavior, aversion to honesty and authoritarian desire for absolute control may in some way, at some point, lead to his undoing and that the pace of that undoing is quickening.
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/22/opinion/mike-pence-donald-trump.html
Look at the above posted picture. Trump bent over and had a hard time standing straight up. That was his problem for being exhausted.
ReplyDeleteTrump is tired? What? Can't handle two First Ladies?
ReplyDeleteI say we can talk about that dr. LIE. Another lie out of fat arssee.
ReplyDeleteThe Hill
ReplyDeleteComey's agreement to testify in front of the congressional intelligence committees will likely complicate Mueller's probe and will limit what the former director can publicly disclose.
"There's no way in the world Mueller wants his witness testifying," the source told CNN. "He wants to question him before anyone else does but before that he'll have to go through tons of documents."
Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) tweeted Monday that Comey's testimony in front of the House Oversight Committee has been postponed until Comey talks with Mueller.
Proceed, Mr. Mueller.

The "wailing wall" is one of the most extreme examples of OCD behavior I've ever witnessed, the most extreme being the islamic daily prayer rituals and circling of the mecca monument during their pilgrimage. The crawling on the ground by catholics and the lighting of thousands of butter lamps by buddhists are very close in their absolute obsessive behavior that changes no outcomes for anyone.

White House Moves To Block Disclosure Of Ethics Waivers For Trump Appointees
May 22, 20176:00 PM ET
... With an ethics waiver, a federal official is free to act on matters that normally would trigger concerns about conflicts of interest or other ethical problems. Federal regulations say the waivers generally should be made public on request. The Obama administration routinely posted waivers online. The Trump administration has issued an unknown number and released none.
Shaub notified the White House and federal agencies in April that OGE wanted to see all ethics waivers issued by President Trump's administration. He set June 1 as the deadline. The broad request is known as a data call....

Trump's White House will never cooperate with anyone. Trump refused to release tax returns and even joked that he didn't pay taxes (because he's so "smart") while other presidential candidates have been releasing returns for at least 20 years. And none of his supporters minded. He only cares about protecting himself.

ReplyDelete{If only we knew then what we know now}
" Among U.S. governors since 2000, for example, I could find only one case — Alaska’s Sarah Palin in 2009 — of someone who resigned her position early without being in the midst of a major scandal or having another political job (such as an ambassadorship or Cabinet position) already lined up."
"let’s talk about impeachment. Although if we’re being more precise, impeachment doesn’t remove a president from office; conviction on impeachment charges does. Just to be clear about our terminology:
Impeachment is the sole authority of the House of Representatives and requires a simple majority vote. Presidents Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton were impeached by the House.
The Senate then holds an impeachment trial and essentially acts as the jury, voting on whether or not to convict the president and remove him from office; it takes a two-thirds majority (67 of 100 votes) to do so. Neither Johnson nor Clinton was convicted by the Senate, although it came down to one vote in Johnson’s case. The Senate can also vote to bar an impeached president from holding office again."
Did he really say, "just got here from the Middle East?" Read that somewhere.
ReplyDeleteHAH if true.
He sure did!
Delete"Just got back...."
I don't have the video. Sorry.

ReplyDeleteSo exhausted 22 days into his only trip that Ivanka had to fill in at an event .
ReplyDeleteWhy didn't Melania fill in for the Donald?
DeleteSo far on this trip, she just poses with that same old tired look that doesn't show any expression.
Tired? His doc needs to be sued. Lying to us believers.
ReplyDeleteNo, the America people are exhausted. Exhausted from this fool pretending to be president when he has absolutely no instinct for the job, no adequate background for the job, and no genuine interest in making the lives of people better. For Trump, it has to be all about him all the time.
ReplyDeleteWe, the people, are really very tired now. So what does Trump's administration do? It presents us this week, after a week of Russian collusion factoids, with a draconian budget that will send this country back to the nineteenth century within a few years.
On Sunday night, John Oliver talked about the post-it "This is not normal" that he had suggested we all fix to our refrigerators earlier in the year. Yes, indeed, "this is not normal" and it will not return to normal unless this 21st century GOP is sent down in a monumental defeat. I hope that can happen before Trump leads us all into a total war following the economic depression that is sure to come with his "policies." God help us all.
