The Political Thread

Speaking of graduation:

 

[Surelock]

Okay I changed my mind.

 

This is the best meme of Trump's Saudi visit:

 

 

 

 

Trump is so lucky. I wish I could ride in a golf cart with an 80 year old king to a concert. 

 

[Surelock]

 

Is it a sign?

 

 

In other news, Trump has now arrived in Jerusalem. Take a look at what he's doing there:

This is my favourite meme of Trump's visit.

Poor Trump. Why would his wife hate him?

[Van Buren Supernova]

I don't know if he deserves it, but in all fairness, the video above sounds more like mean-spirited opinions to me.

[Arcadia]

Yeah, I'd just as soon they leave his family out of it. Well, the part of his family that he hasn't put in charge of his government. They're fair game, imo.

[Surelock]

Okay since I've already shared my favourite memes, I'd like to share my favourite gifs. 

 

It's a difficult choice but it would have to be this one:

 

 

 

 

Poor guy. He looks so scared when he's surrounded by muslims that he was trying to ban. I guess this is what happens when you go to a muslim majority country without ever meeting a muslim.

Those two pix were making rounds on Twitter yesterday and made it into German media today morning.

 

 

 

 

 

These are actually two different pieces. The first one is from Yad Vashem, the second one another guestbook entry from Israel. The comment in the radio today was that the organizers forgot to give him a text to write down, as they do in all other cases. So he probably used the line he wrote after visiting Disneyland with his class as he was 7. Would like to be an octopus for a moment, so I can make more facepalms at once.

[Surelock]

Someone on twitter said that Trump forgot he wasn't limited to 140 characters (like he is in his tweets) when he wrote that note.

If you think it cannot get worse…

Was there any coverage of this incident? I've seen it only on Twitter so far, but I don't always watch news.

It was all over the local news (of course, since my local news is Wash DC news), and was mentioned on the national news.

 

That clip of Trump "shoving" the other guy; I've seen that behavior before, especially amongst people men who think they're more important than other people in the room. It's not shoving exactly, more of a way of letting someone know you're going to cut in front of him (whether he likes it or not.)

[J.P.]

I wished one of the ladies stepped on his foot, with hopefully pointy heel.

[J.P.]

Have seen them all already. :P

I''ve never seen something like that. He didn't even look at the guy who's in his way. Who was Montenegro's Prime Minister btw.

 

I wonder what T had said that beeped the Pope that much.

Maybe it was this?

Surelock,

People asking if it was actually real - that tells it all, doesn't it?

[Van Buren Supernova]

I pity the Pope.

He looks like me when I was forced to visit my annoying aunt when I was a kid.

 

Unfamiliar with it yet, this actually made me think for quite a while. :D Something is wrong in this picture, but what? Is it SNL? :D Damn face swap.

 

Also, saw a lot of crazy signs from Belgium folks welcoming him. Were you there Fantasy? :p

OMG, this one had me rofl'ing...https://twitter.com/Alser82/status/867471648127156224/photo/1?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.telegraph.co.uk%2Fnews%2F2017%2F05%2F25%2Fdonald-trump-meets-pope-francis-22-funniest-memes%2F

To be fair I don't think it's precisely what it looks like; I don't think he was actually shoving. On the other hand, he was bulling his way to the front, so it doesn't really matter.

 

I think just being in the same territory with him would be enough to beep the pope, don't you? It certainly beeps me. :p

 

 

Eh heh heh heh heh heh ... rub it in, media... :D

[J.P.]

Maybe he's not shoving, but he definitely grabs the guy and says something without even looking at him. He's clearly annoyed someone dared to stand in his way. And then you see him inflating and looking very important. What a…

Him, Putin, Erdogan and Kim the Kid. What a club. Okay, Putin seems at least to know how to behave in the public.

no, I had to work.

[J.P.]

A sweet revenge of pres. Macron :D

I wouldn't be too worried about damage made by T himself while meeting other politicians. I don't think anyone takes him seriously.

[Arcadia]

I think I have a new hero.
