I wonder what Trump is going to say? I think this prediction is accurate:

Awww, poor baby…

 

That was my exact same reaction.

(note: he is a former Prime Minister of Sweden)

[Arcadia]

lol. Is it unpatriotic of me to enjoy it when other countries' leaders are laughing at us? :d

So in response to his domestic issues, Trump decides to bomb a government convoy in Syria. 

 

Looks like Trump's strategy is clear:

 

Domestic issues = Bomb Syria and other ME nations.

[Arcadia]

ME nations?

 

The talking heads tonight seem to think Trump's in serious trouble. But they've guessed wrong  on everything concerning him so far, so I'm not holding my breath.

[Surelock]

ME = Middle Eastern

 

It's true that the talking heads were wrong about Trump so far but personally I have trouble seeing him getting out of this since what he did was clear Obstruction of Justice. The only way I see Trump coming out of this is if the entire justice system falls apart (which I wouldn't be surprised about).

[Arcadia]

I'm not sure we actually know what he did yet. There may be enough wriggle room for him to get away with it. Depends in part on whether his party wants to get rid of him as badly as the rest of us do. And that might depend on whether or not they lose big in the next election.

So Trump just arrived in Saudi Arabia as the first foreign country visit of his presidency.

 

Here's a video of things that Trump has said about Saudi Arabia in the past:

Good to know we have such a consistent hypocrite for a president.

[Fantasy Lover]

Don't forget that Trump criticised Michelle Obama for not wearing a hajib, and guess what? Neither his wife or his daughter wore one!

[Surelock]

Lol ABC has just uploaded a video of Trump attempting to dance along with the Saudis:

It's so awkward. I think Trump doesn't know how to do a Saudi dance. Someone should have taught him on the plane.

[Fantasy Lover]

You'd think he would have practiced since his inauguration, it appears he was to busy golfing.

"Trump and the Saudi king signed eight different agreements approving almost $110 billion in arms sales to Saudi Arabia."

[Arcadia]

If he thinks going overseas is going to overshadow his troubles here at home, he's got another think coming. :D

"Trump and the Saudi king signed eight different agreements approving almost $110 billion in arms sales to Saudi Arabia."

Doesn't surprise me, the weapon industry supports him in the USA. So obviously the Saudi Arabia would support him too.

Best meme out of Trump's Saudi visit yet:

 

[Van Buren Supernova]

I saw the article that students walk out from their graduation when the Vice President is giving speech.

 

I would like good reason to walk out from my graduations too. :p

[Arcadia]

I solved that problem, I didn't go to my graduation. 

[Van Buren Supernova]

I couldn't bear to disappoint my parents.

 

It's more like big events for them. Both of them didn't manage to get into uni, but their kids are all well educated and there is no way to convince them that the events were not important. Do you know what I did after that? We took family picture. Yah, it was full-on torture. I was wearing an itchy unscratchable dress and it was killing me. But happy for them.

Of course.. I didn't let them know about other graduations after that.. :p

[Arcadia]

Well, yeah, I went to my high school graduation because of my parents. But they were out of town when my college graduation happened, so what they didn't know couldn't hurt them..... :p It was such a relief NOT to go through all that....

[SherlockedCAMPer]

Despite being a shy introvert, I enjoyed all 3 graduations I had and had my family there to celebrate.

 

As for leaving graduation during the VP's speech, that is disrespectful. You don't have to agree with him in the least, but he has earned a title that commands respect so be politely quiet and ignore him otherwise you should have forced the issue with family about not walking at graduation.
