The [Daily Mail](http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4167600/Theresa-held-Trump-s-hand-stairs-fear.html) is hardly an unimpeachable source, but this is interesting (from Jan 2017)…

Other sources refute this, but I like it. These days we’re allowed to pick and choose what we believe from the news media, right? :rolleyes:

Reminds me of [Repellent Fence](https://hyperallergic.com/245676/artists-bisect-the-us-mexico-border-fence-with-balloons/), an art piece a few years ago.

1. The germaphobe is also said to be scared of slipping on stairs and slopes  
2, He is said to have clung to Mrs May for support as they walked down an unseen slope

So, he is a pathetic weakling. He’s WEAK! PUNY!

The tough guy, the strong guy, is PUNY AND WEAK!

CAN’T EVEN HANDLE STAIRS!

Great fuck, some of the first responders are entirely racist:

“Oddly Hannah, the Nazis in America are led by Trump. They are led by Hillary Clinton and the Democrats You don’t know shit about my country so let me give you a peek:  
These are the left, at around 10 mins you hear them yelling the n word at a black officer…also here”

I suppose this person means “aren’t led by Trump”, but where do they get the Hillary and the Democrats part? It can’t be their guy so it must be the Democrats? Have they even heard of Grand Viziers?

So I guess in yet another brazen lie, it was Hillary who stirs up the nazis and calls them “very fine people”?  
And she leads them? And all the nazis running for office are ALL on the Democrat ticket?

Hmmmmmmm.

I want to reply to that lying Nazi bastard so much. I really do, but it might encourage the sick lying twisted fuck.

He’s already running for re-election, there’s a hole to pour your money into set up. He took the Oath, and the Bible he swore upon hadn’t even stopped smoldering before he started campaigning!

LOL, ThelmaLou, I was just headed in here to post a [Reuters link](https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-britain-visit/trump-says-to-run-for-reelection-had-brexit-chat-with-queen-elizabeth-idUSKBN1K4119) that mentions the same thing.

But here’s the part that pissed me off at Trump today:

> [@](#):
>
> Before leaving Britain for a summit in Finland with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Trump breached British royal protocol by publicly disclosing the details of a conversation he had with Queen Elizabeth about the complexities of Brexit.

So he breaches protocol in two ways: First, discussing politics with the Queen; and second, disclosing the details of the conversation.

Even worse is how he describes the Queen… but folks can go to the link to read about that. :smack:

Trump has pulled John Bolton from an interview with CNN because he claims Jim Acosta disrespected him. When? Trump’s the one who attacked Acosta. And then he said that CNN didn’t report on his attack on Acosta, which they did, of course.

In the second picture with that article, it looks like Melania is getting very cozy with (I assume) a Secret Service agent. Or is that just a perspective/foreshortening effect of the photograph that makes them look they’re occupying the same space?

I think Melania probably secretly googles voodoo online and has a little Trump doll stuck full of pins in the back of her closet. I can totally see her getting it on with one of the SS guys, God only knows what horrors she has been subjecting herself to that are likely outlined in the prenup.

Oh, I would love to have her disappear again and then turn up full of smiles on some unnamed beach somewhere with Barron and a nice, cuddly, strong man of principle (either with his own hair or completely bald), formerly of the U.S. Secret Service.

Melania grew up in a world where powerful men casually killed people who opposed them (Tito, Milosevick) and, somehow, “escaped” to a saner world where powerful men merely bought off (or financially crushed) those who opposed them.

Unfortunately for her, she just happened to hook up with the one American billionaire who needed the money and the connections provided by powerful men who killed those who opposed them.

IOW, she ain’t gonna do shit. She’s been accultured since an infant that this is the way the world works, and people like her have no choice in the matter.
