The president of the United States does not tweet. It is beneath the dignity of your office."
He never answered, not even by form letter. Of course, it has been obvious since he came down the escalator that he cares nothing for the dignity of the office.
(And yes, I know Obama sent out a few tweets while in office, but there is really no comparison.)
Yeah, he does that. Remember his “Pocohantas” crack against Warren, when he was receiving the Navajo code-talkers in the OO? The really disturbing thing was that even at an event so innocuous and nonpartisan as a ceremony to honor heroes of the Second World War, he could not resist a bit of ill-natured partisan sniping.
Yes, and I know this is a thread to complain about the tweets, but I’m just saying: if the worst he’s done on the taliban thing is tweet something idiotic, then this is about as good as it gets. I’ll take that over him tweeting something actually dangerous and/or offensive, or doing or saying anything.
That assumes that the meeting plan actually existed in the first place and isn’t being invented (and confirmed by sycophantic/armtwisted minions) after the fact.
The Camp David (instead of Trump property) venue points toward the latter – since when does the Crook-in-Chief pass up an opportunity for graft?
But in fact The Economist, and other news agencies, were already reporting about peace talks with the taliban being set up before Trump’s tweets on the matter. And they are now reporting about what is currently being done to try to reboot the process.
So he’s not making the whole thing up. Though yes, it’s always possible that he heard grown-ups talking about something and decided to season the facts with his own brand of bullshit and/or didn’t understand.
The bar just keeps getting lower and lower, doesn’t it? :dubious:
Listen to yourselves, people! This is the level of normalcy that this craziness has sunk to! We’re (I’ll include myself) speculating that the so-called president MADE UP this whole Taliban meeting thing! Maybe yes, maybe no, but we all know he is CAPABLE of making up such a thing because most every word out of his mouth (or thumbs) is a LIE.
Anyway, I say he made it up, because otherwise it would have been set to be held at one of his properties.
As I recall, one of Trump’s campaign talking points was the world was laughing at the US under Obama. I seem to remember the UN General Assembly literally laughing at Trump when he claimed his admin has accomplished more than any other president’s in history in a speech there.
You must be pretty lame to get dissed by the Taliban:
