And Trump is back home. Predictably, after managing to wreck a certain amount of chaos, snub the Queen, insult May (well who doesn't want to do that, to be fair) and then deny that he did so.
And I just realised he's NOT back home, he's meeting Putin. But he's not here at least, so all manner of things are well.

He had to report for his annual review.

He snubbed the queen? I missed that one. He certainly also managed to piss off the Scots...

He just refused to support US intelligence reports over Putin's word.
Hope he gets arrested for treason as soon as he lands in the US.
I mean, sure, Putin is intimidating and looks like he could shiv (or poison) you without any hesitance, but the US president needs to show some - any - spine.

Like I said....He is a quisling. I agree, he is traitorous. I agree, he should be arrested, removed from office, and condemned to spend his remaining years incarcerated.
But then, I've been alluding to this for some time, now.

Yes yes, but the problem is Poo Tin's success goes deeper than that. He hasn't just achieved personal control of "Trump", he's also made it so that a sizeable proportion of Americans, including a probable majority of those with money and power, will do anything Drumpf says and agree with anything he says. Right now a bunch of them are probably applauding t-Rump's diplomacy and statesmanship. Just as they applaud other non-existent things.

Wholly squat.
I just saw the press conference with Cheeto Benito and Poo Tin.
Man, little Donny did all but bend over and spread his cheeks.

Even the Daily Mail have called this 'Trump's blackest day.'
The fact that he is now back-tracking is making this look even more surreal.

This morning I said to my husband that Trump will simply state 'fake news' or that he was misunderstood or something. Low and behold that's pretty much what he's done now - he's claiming he 'misspoke'.
To be honest, I get the impression his supporters couldn't care less anyway. The cognitive dissonance is simply too much for them so they just filter it all out.

The Twittershitgibbon must be one of the most glaring, and public, examples of the Dunning-Kruger Effect. He is the exemplar, no less.

He does not seem to realise that things that he tweets are out there forever. Even if he deletes them, they will have been retweeted and screenshot

Did Trump really snub the Queen? I doubt that (though he has done so many other things). As the British Royal Family’s web site states, “There are no obligatory codes of behaviour when meeting The Queen or a member of the Royal Family, but many people wish to observe the traditional forms.” These “traditional forms” include bowing and curtseying (although simply shaking hands is acceptable), and addressing the Queen as “Your Majesty” on first greeting and as “Ma’am” subsequently. That is the extent of the etiquette listed on the Royal Family’s own web site. www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-protocol-queen-elizabeth/Who among the Republican politicians dares go against Trump unless they are retiring? He is very popular among the Republican voters. He can do anything. And he has lowered the taxes.

Looking at the Snopes article, I don't think he snubbed the Queen at all. Social media have made it all up. Who among the Republican politicians dares go against Trump unless they are retiring? He is very popular among the Republican voters. He can do anything. And he has lowered the taxes. He is very popular among solid Republican voters - he typically has 85% approval rating - but the percentage of voters who consider themselves to be Republican, as opposed to be leaning towards Republican, is only about 27%. news.gallup.com/poll/15370/party-affiliation.aspx

I think the behind the scenes 'armchair ouija' about the royal broaches during the visit is fascinating. Social protocol and all. What a scream!
I still much prefer the Scots response, myself. It's so much more my style....'fapping shitgibbon' is a favorite of mine, thanks to voluable Scots.
