Leagues fucking smarter than the bumbling fuck who has the job now. What are the chances that said fuck provokes a terrorist attack anyway, and then the public rallies around him as a result?

It’s happening, finally! Hell-mouth (cunningly disguised as sink-hole) begins to open at Mar-A-Lago. These things do take time to completely form.

Backing “strongmen” _gives_ you Irans.

Making despotism great again.

As you all know, as a Frenchman I innately and implicitly feel smugly, condescendingly superior to the rest of the world. But this ? This is milk and honey to me. I mean, I thought Dubya couldn’t ever be topped, but here you go topping him and then some a mere 8 years later !

I’m going to assume that he merely misspoke rather than was ignorant of where Israel is. It’s an honest mistake, probably caused by exhaustion. Perhaps he needs a nap. Or, you know, to fuck off and let someone competent do the job.

Could be a ploy. He may have leaked intel to the Russians, but he didn’t tell them where he got it from. In fact, he didn’t even tell them where Israel was.

That’s not real. It can’t be real. Please tell me that’s not real. I refuse to believe that’s real.

That must be _a_ Donald Trump, aged 11, from Arkansas or something, right?

From the [Washington Post](https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2017/05/23/the-huge-contrast-between-obama-and-trumps-visits-to-israels-holocaust-memorial/)

> Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu thanked Trump for a speech “ **that in so few words said so much.** ” On Twitter, many users noted that Trump’s guestbook entry tallied up less than 140 characters, and wondered if the president’s prolific tweeting had eked its way into his writing style more generally.

A less than complimentary double meaning?

OMFG. Just, wow.

And not just because it’s so brief. Even W’s “God bless Israel” says so much in the fewest words. Trump just is _that_ dumb, childish, self-centered and tone deaf.

How is this reality?

When he comes back, I bet he’ll say “Israel’s in the Middle East. Not too many people know that.”
