The thing he did/said yesterday was worse than the thing he did/said today, while today’s thing was much worse than yesterday’s thing. Everything is worse than everything else. It is a malestrom of awful. ---

Totally agree. He keeps surpassing himself-- in a negative direction. ---

He also thinks that Kashmir has been a problem for 1500 years, according to his answer to a reporter on AF-1. Willfully stupid and uninformed on anything other than himself. ---

Do other countries routinely allow American felons to cross their borders? If they’re making an exception, why? Is there a process for doing so? Shouldn’t countries warn their citizens when a sex offender is among them? They have a duty to protect their own people, after all. ---

Trump sat down for an interview with Time Magazine the other day. A couple highlights: On his repeated campaign vow to end the Ukraine war on day1: > “Well, I said that figuratively, and I said that as an exaggeration, because to make a point, and you know, it gets, of course, by the fake news [unintelligible],” Trump told Time when asked about the campaign promise. “Obviously, people know that when I said that, it was said in jest, but it was also said that it will be ended.” “Clearly I said it in jest, but at the same time I meant it. I mean, I meant the ending part, not the timing part. What part of my figurative exaggerations and ‘jests’ are so hard for you fake news radical liberals to understand?” On his justification for pardoning 1500 J6 rioters: > “People do heinous acts, far more serious than what took place on Jan. 6,” he told Time. “And nothing happened to these people. Nothing. …” Ok, so let’s unpack the logic there. Other people have done things even worse than the J6 rioters and gotten away with it, so they should go free too. My neighbor committed murder and got away with it, so I should get a free pass for robbing a bank. But I have to give trump some credit here. He is right that other people have gotten away with worse. In fact, I can think of one very high-profile public figure who’s committed many more heinous and illegal acts. In fact he’s even been convicted of numerous felonies. And nothing happened to him. Nothing. > **[5 key quotes from Trump’s Time interview on his first 100 days](https://www.msnbc.com/top-stories/latest/trump-time-first-100-days-interview-key-quotes-rcna203068)** > > The president said he was only joking when he vowed to end the Russia-Ukraine war on Day 1 of his second administration. ---

Oh, right. I am curious though about the laws in other countries and whether or not Trump has to get a waiver. If I wasn’t so pathetically lazy I’d open a Factual Questions thread. ---

Well … here’s – of all things – a NY Post article on the subject (June 2024): > **[Donald Trump’s felony conviction could keep him from visiting certain countries](https://nypost.com/2024/06/01/us-news/donald-trumps-travel-habits-could-be-affected-by-convictions/)** > > Now that he’s a convicted felon, former President Donald Trump might find it difficult to travel internationally. As a practical matter, I doubt he’d have much difficulty in too many countries. His predatory, retributive, and punitive history probably militates against it. Would that it were … ---
