[QUOTE=Loser Donald] SEE YOU IN COURT, THE SECURITY OF OUR NATION IS AT STAKE! [/QUOTE] I’m sure the irony is lost on him that they’ve _already_ seen him in court, _twice_, and won on both occasions.

You are absolutely correct. One of the things the so-called President cannot tolerate is being CALLED a lose-- or being SEEN AS a loser. Appearance is everything. Of course, the fact that he IS, in fact, a loser is completely lost on him. Ah, the irony. ---

“Donald J. Trump ‏@realDonaldTrump 2h2 hours ago More The failing @nytimes does major FAKE NEWS China story saying “Mr.Xi has not spoken to Mr. Trump since Nov.14.” We spoke at length yesterday!” What the fuck is he bitching about now? _If_ this actually happened, did this news article get written before, or after, this supposed talk? ---

> [@Biffy\_the\_Elephant\_Shrew](#): > > The Times story was in fact _reporting_ on this call, and saying that Trump had not spoken to Xi since November _until last night_. The shit-gibbon fails again. From Xinhua (Chinese English language news) \*BEIJING, Feb. 10 (Xinhua) – Chinese President Xi Jinping and his U.S. counterpart Donald Trump pledged Friday to boost win-win cooperation in a variety of areas and develop a constructive China-U.S. relationship. The two leaders made the pledge in a phone conversation Friday, the first of its kind since Trump took office in January. Xi congratulated Trump on being inaugurated as U.S. president and thanked him for sending a letter Wednesday to extend his holiday greetings to the Chinese people, who are celebrating the Chinese Lunar New Year – the Year of the Rooster – and the upcoming Lantern Festival that falls on Saturday.\* ---

> [@Biffy\_the\_Elephant\_Shrew](#): > > The Times story was in fact _reporting_ on this call, and saying that Trump had not spoken to Xi since November _until last night_. The shit-gibbon fails again. Okay. I get it. Trump doesn’t read books because he CAN’T READ. There are stories about executives who bluff their way to the top of corporations but are functionally illiterate. Trump could be one of those. Didn’t it just come out that he never read the executive order? Seriously, do we have any evidence that the so-called President can read above, say, a second grade level? Slightly tangential: there is software that analyzes texts and tells you what grade level they are. Come to think of it, MSWord will do this. Is there someone with a bit of time on their hands who, for amusement, would like to analyze several hundred of his tweets and tell us what grade he is in, from a literacy pov? ETA: If you google “Trump literacy level,” there are a lot of articles on this. Consensus seems to be that he communicates at a third-grade level. ---

> [@jsc1953](#): > > We know he can read a speech off a teleprompter. There are varying qualities to the verb, “to read.” Obama could read a teleprompter like a motherfuck. Even Palin could pull it off and look like she was just spouting her run of the mill drivel extemporaneously. Watching Trump read from a teleprompter is like watching a hostage video. Watch him the next time he makes a speech off teleprompter. He concentrates so fucking hard on that teleprompter it looks like he might start crying. He clenches right up and stares at it like he’s trying to make it burst into flames with his heat-vision. And then he starts ad-libbing and he blossoms, with his little magic-hand/ok-sign/whatever the fuck that thing is that he always does when he thinks he’s making a point. When it’s time to go back to the teleprompter, he iron-grips that podium and dials in for more reading … steady, Donald, you can get through it, there are no really big words. ---

Ironically, Obama’s looniest critics gave him grief for 8 years for using a teleprompter; as if he invented the device, and couldn’t speak without one. He may have used one on occasion (as his predecessors did for 50 years); but when he did, at least he was good at it. ---
