It’s hot and humid AF in Miami in the summer. Winter is indeed the season to go. And it’s probably another reason why Agent Orange wants the summit there in the off season - to fill the rooms.
As many world leaders have found, once you pay the Trumpgeld, you never stop paying it.
Also, he has a well known habit of reneging on agreements on a whim. He also won’t give “WHATEVER you want”. For example, many of the EU leaders want stability and some kind of guarantee the US won’t arbitrarily decide to back out of agreements. And even when he promises something, he’s liable to hold out for more and/or not follow through anyway or find out he actually meant something different (after his handlers tell him later that his promises are unrealistic and counter to US interests).
Whenever the words NO QUID PRO QUO come out of Trump’s pie hole, I am forced to admit that he may be right. It’s kind of his business model. He takes the QUID and then decides he’s going to keep the QUO, too. He’s so amoral that he doesn’t feel any sense of obligation to anyone, ever, for any reason.
Anybody who can flees Miami in the summer. It’s got two kind of summers, on alternating years: on hurricane years, it starts raining and It’s Too Early O’Clock and stops after sunset, and on not-hurricane years the sun is molten lead and temperatures are above 100F all day long.
He doesn’t even understand the meaning of the word “promise”; someone who does would never claim to keep more promises than they make. He also doesn’t understand “deal”, either as a verb or as a noun. To him, “making a deal” consists of reaching a point in the conversation where the other party tells him “OMG you are so amazing! So incredibly nice! Such a genius! So knowledgeable! I am in awe of your superior wisdom and uncanny intelligence!”*; if the other person knows him and just wants to get it over with, they open with that, thus making him hap-pee! straightaway and leaving him convinced that he’s the greatest dealmaker in the world. The concept of “keeping your word” is meaningless to someone who never meant whatever he said in the first place.
If they are a hot woman they must also say “please take me!”.
We may never hear about her emails again, but we’re guaranteed to hear about another false equivalency, which is indicative of the influence that Putin now has on American politics. He has infected American political discourse with a virus, one which proposes that people accept the idea that there really is no such thing as a man or woman of the people - they’re all corrupt on some level. “Just accept that you’re screwed.”
Anyone notice how quiet Rudy has been lately? Did they tie and gag him in a basement somewhere, or is it finally sinking in to him that when this is all over he might not be the hero?
Trump has issued a Presidential Proclamation for National “Character Counts Week” urging Americans to “positively influence the next generation of our Nation’s leaders and inspire them to lead lives of virtue and integrity.”
We’re going to have to clarify our Latin. AIUI, the QUID is what I GIVE, in return, I get a QUO. So the America-hating fuckstick offers a QUID, takes the QUO, then pulls back the QUID (or tries to pass off a quid in place of the original QUID).
Remember, “Quid” is used in England (conversationally) to represent a certain amount of money that someone spent on something.*
