Part of my problem is that I have to do a lot of things myself. It takes so much time. Julio Iglesias is coming to Mar-a-Lago, but I have to call Julio, I have to have lunch with Julio. I have Pavarotti coming. Pavarotti doesn’t perform for anybody. He’s the highest-paid performer in the world. A million dollars a performance. The hardest guy to get. If I call him, he’ll do it—for a huge amount less. Why? Because they like me, they respect me, I don’t know.

I think you might need to look into a thing called history if you think this is the most violent nation ever.

probably a million people killed by u.s. in vietnam/laos/cambodia. nobody will ever know how many. not pol pot numbers, but still...
mao would be the world champ though.

The relatively-youthful US has certainly done what it could to catch up with the accrued violence of much older nations, I'll grant you that. Maybe Donnie will get us there.

Is he going to be remembered as the worst thing ever? Would be deeply ironic if he just got forgotten but then people wouldn't learn from history.JUst hope his wrongness doesn't get outdone shortly after he dies painfully,choking to death on a shagpile carpet would be fitting, though too redolent of Elvis.But fingers crossed he doesn't act as a harbinger of things to come.
Just would be so funny if he went to all this bother and wasn't remembered in 20 years time.

"Look, having nuclear - my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart - you know, if you're a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world - it's true! - but when you're a conservative Republican they try - oh, do they do a number - that's why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune - you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we're a little disadvantaged - but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me - it would have been so easy, and it's not as important as these lives are - nuclear is powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? - but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners - now it used to be three, now it's four - but when it was three and even now, I would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they haven't figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it's gonna take them about another 150 years - but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us."

Gentlemen, what you pansies are are a bunch of starving artistes who live off the kindness of the American government or mommy and daddy. You are angry at your own failings and struggle for survival, mock the GOP and ridicule its members, but when Republicans do it to the Democrats and you, you call out racism and class warfare.
You all yammer on like you do, but let me tell you this here message board is one kooky place with as many double standards as the Grand Old Party, which is why I voted TRUMP!

Not really. It's stating the obvious but the obvious continues to bear when swathes of Americans still back Trump.
You'd get better, more informed and coherent answers interviewing a monkey. But it goes to show again and again that it does not matter. Trump might as well be an actual monkey, or answer every question with a loud fart: 80+ percent of Republicans still back him.
Good luck USA etc

"THEY are supposed to be the grownup experts
I didn't read it so much this way as "THEY are supposed to have some rudimentary grasp of the subjects that are absolutely central to doing their job and some definable thoughts in their heads, even if they are paper thin, and it is rather shocking that the POTUS's head is full of nothing but mush and putrid garbage."

The thing about Trump and Jewish voters is I genuinely believe he's dumb and ignorant enough to think that there are as many Jews in the rest of the country as there are in New York, and that's why he's so worried about his numbers among them.
