The problem: That's not true.
As pointed out by political journalists Tuesday, Trump's claim that Obama "didn't land" in the Philippines because of his "horrible" relationship with the nation misinterprets the entire situation.
It was Obama, in fact, who canceled a meeting with Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte in September 2016 after the two leaders got into a tiff over the mass killings in the Philippine drug war.
What, was Obama too good to sit down and talk to a mass murder who was arbitrarily killing his citizens without allowing them the benefit of a trial first?Trump keeps making this bizarre false claim about Obama. What actually happened was Obama, in advance, cancelled a planned Laos meeting with Duterte, who’d insulted him and his mother. He wasn’t stranded in the sky above Manila. https://t.co/69ziOf5ro5— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) November 14, 2017

Barack Obama pandering to humanitarians. |
But not Donald Trump, hell no! Donald Trump admires strong men who know how to keep their people in line.
In fact Donald Trump will even work with one to steal an American election.
That's how accepting Trump is of dictators, oligarchs, and butchers.
Philippines where american guys go to get wives. That's all I know about that place. Ugly americans can get sweet looking women and at least keep them for 5 years until they get green card then, bye bye ugly old man thanks for making american :-)
ReplyDeleteNothing really wrong with it because everyone wins.
Haha. You are genuinely funny.
DeleteHey remember when the owners of Uranium One gave 145 million dollars to the Clinton Foundation, during the time of Clinton's sign off on the Russia/Uranium deal.... Yeah.... Of course we all remember that.
ReplyDeleteYou know fucking ivanka trump's fake ass foundation got $100 million from the Saudis right before trumpy made the ill-advised decision to sell arms to them.
Delete4:45 That story has been totally debunked.Spouting BS lies like that just show how ignorant and dishonest you are. Don't spend all those rubles in one place.
DeleteOh, we'll see about that 6:17.
DeleteIt appears the amount was $4 million and it was donated years before Clinton was Secretary of State. Further, it would be most unusual that she would have been involved in the transaction for the uranium which would have been the job of someone else in the State Department. There were 8 other departments composing the group and there is nothing to indicate that any of the Cabinet members in those 8 departments were the representatives at the decision-making meeting. That is not how it works. Comment was that the ripple of the sale would have no more effect on the US than if they had set a match to the money and burned it. Sorry I can't reference all the sites for these comments but if you google they are all available with this info.

It's coming out in the wash.
Do you are all saying the Clinton Foundation didn't receive millions from Uranium One? That former President Clinton didn't get highly paid speaking gigs associated with these institutions?

Just when we think trump can't degrade the office of the president any further,he opens he mouth again.
ReplyDeleteTraitor trump is such a pathetic loser,the only way for him to accomplish anything is by undoing or diminishing the accomplishments of Obama.
I'm sorry but Trump looks like a fat old drag Queen in these photos, now before you think i have am against Drag Queens i am not.

Book: "The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 27 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President"
ReplyDeleteThe Dangerous Case of Donald Trump describes the consensus view held by two dozen psychiatrists and psychologists that Donald Trump is dangerously mentally ill and that he presents a clear and present danger to the nation and our own mental health.
This is not normal.
Since the start of Donald Trump’s presidential run, one question has quietly but urgently permeated the observations of concerned citizens: What is wrong with him? Constrained by the American Psychiatric Association’s “Goldwater rule,” which inhibits mental health professionals from diagnosing public figures they have not personally examined, many of those qualified to answer this question have shied away from discussing the issue at all. The public has thus been left to wonder whether he is mad, bad, or both.
In The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump, twenty-seven psychiatrists, psychologists, and other mental health experts argue that, in Mr. Trump’s case, their moral and civic “duty to warn” America supersedes professional neutrality. They then explore Trump’s symptoms and potentially relevant diagnoses to find a complex, if also dangerously mad, man.
Philip Zimbardo and Rosemary Sword, for instance, explain Trump’s impulsivity in terms of “unbridled and extreme present hedonism.” Craig Malkin speaks about pathological narcissism and politics as a lethal mix. Gail Sheehy, on a lack of trust that exceeds paranoia. Lance Dodes, on sociopathy. Robert Jay Lifton, on the “malignant normality” that can set in everyday life if psychiatrists do not speak up.
His madness is catching, too. From the trauma people have experienced under the Trump administration to the cult-like characteristics of his followers, he has created unprecedented mental health consequences across our nation and beyond.
It’s not all in our heads. It’s in his.

If you are an ugly old fuck who can't get an American woman, go to the Philippine Island and get you a real Philippino women who will love you long time. But be prepared within a year you will inherit their siblings then their parents and eventually their aunties and uncles. Hope ypu love pancit noodles, you will be eating so much pancit you will have noodles coming out of your ass. Also, you will learn to love Karaoke.
ReplyDeleteYou sound like an uninformed idiot.
DeleteRead a book. The Philippines has thousands of islands and many wonderful people.
Try Breitbart - your people are over there.
Friend of ours and most of his buddies, military guys, were married to Asian women and whenever he hosted a get together there was always karaoke, always.
DeleteHey, I hope to inherit some of them tacos and frijoles. Yummy And of course good ol American apple pie. I don't mind alittle pizza or egg roll. Its all good especially those American thighs and butter from Europe. Love the kona coffee and local cream. But hey if you like noodles fine. If ya don't ok.
Deletehe can try, but he will never have the affection and respect Obama enjoys. is there nothing he won't say or do to drag Obama though the mud? dumpt is hurting himself when he acts like a child, and here he is, lying and acting like a child.
ReplyDeleteDrumpf says he has a very important announcement when he returns. Any chance it is that the shoplifters have been returned to the US because Drumpf spoke with the Chinese leader, Xi?
ReplyDeleteTrump, real name Drumpf but they had it changed, creates a living hell for our NFL because players quietly "take a knee" to protest brutality on POC, yet Drumpf attempted to circumvent the law to get a release for 3 shoplifters, one who comes from a very wealthy family, Big Baller Brand, the owners who are opening two new stores in China this week.
Behavior of this crude clown never fails to remind us daily how crooked, wicked and unfit he is for any position anywhere, and certainly not the one he presently illegitimately holds.
He's hemorrhaging advertisers...what a 360 degree turn...lol...money talks

What was trump drinking at the dinner,that were making a toast?
ReplyDeleteDid he lie about not drinking alcohol or did he make an exception because he didn't want to insult his dictator buddy?
Was dRUMPf 'hitting it'? Pi$$ water is my guess.
DeleteHe does NOT Drink alcohol ever.
"rump told his kids this every day before school ... used to tell them every morning before leaving for school not to drugs, drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes"
"Ivanka now takes it all in stride. "I used to be … on the defensive and sort of shield myself. But over time it's sort of stopped mattering to me," she said. "People will like me if they know me. Hopefully."
"Especially the men like HER," said Trump. "Unfortunately."" WON~TON.
