> [@ThelmaLou](#): > > That is really interesting. So being publicly embarrassed and being called a loser is the magic one-two punch that will lead to Trump hysterically investigating who stole the key to the strawberry locker, eh? Frankly, his tweets already have something of that tone. Comparing Queeg to Trump – so unfair! Trump doesn’t have any balls. ---

Well, not until he gets a presidential pet. And knowing Trump’s libido and lack of discrimination, the phrase will take an all-too-literal turn. ---

An excellent point. (I think it’s possible to detect the subtle inflection in tone, but that’s a topic for another thread.) ---

She’ll be a Japanese robot that is very lifelike. Actually, it occurred to me a while ago that Kellyanne Conway might be an escaped animatronic figure from the Disney World warehouses. She’s not capable of thought and can only say whatever is prerecorded on her voice track. Anyone else got a better explanation? ---

King Donald the Putrid’s latest tweet: **“Do you believe it? The Obama Administration agreed to take thousands of illegal immigrants from Australia. Why? I will study this dumb deal!”** This after a [disastrously embarrassing telephone conversation with Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull](http://www.9news.com.au/national/2017/02/02/12/13/this-is-the-worst-call-by-far-trump-fumes-during-turnbull-call). Among the highlights is Turnbull telling Trump several times it was 1250 refugees the US agreed to take, but Trump consistently misstating the number as 2000. And Trump hanging up the phone in anger. ---

Dude still thinks he’s running _The Apprentice_. If the Australian PM shows up with a proposal he doesn’t like, all he has to do is shout “You’re a loser!
