Images of president from his news conference

Posted August 31, 2019 1:00 am

The Aug. 20 news conference documented that when Trump speaks, it is less relevant than listening to a donkey bray (and I do apologize to those furry, long-earned little guys for the comparison).

In one short public appearance, Trump managed to lump most of the Jewish population in this country as either ignorant or disloyal. He then proceeded to insist he is serious about buying Greenland and expressed surprise when Denmark called the idea absurd. (Actually, I may be wrong, but I think Denmark didn't mean that the idea was absurd, they were saying Trump is absurd.) And wrapping up with offering a reward for the Russian annexation of The Crimea and shooting down passenger jets. (Actually, that last one is to be expected from Trump. Anything his handler wants, his handler gets.)

Unbelievable.
