When Donald Trump was watching his 16-year-old daughter Ivanka host the 1997 Miss Teen USA pageant, he turned to the then-Miss Universe and asked: “Don’t you think my daughter’s hot? She’s hot, right?” In the almost 20 years since, Mr Trump has called his eldest daughter “voluptuous”. He’s said it’s OK to describe her as “a piece of ass”, though she is a senior executive in his business empire. And he’s said that, if she wasn’t his daughter, “perhaps [he’d] be dating her”. Rolling Stone interview, September 2015 “After I met Ivanka and praised her to her father, he said, ‘Yeah, she's really something, and what a beauty, that one. If I weren't happily married and, ya know, her father . . .’”

Zelensky should be demanding an apology from Vance and Trump for that ridiculous ambush that they staged for the cameras. It was a new low for America, and perhaps the least presidential diplomatic mission in the history of the nation. Though it may not have been smart on his part, it was sure nice to see a leader standing up to the nasty, arrogant fool.

I think Trump wakes up in the morning each and every day and he says to himself what can I do today that will be completely ridiculous and completely stupid? What can I do today to shake up the world order and make the planet infinitely less stable? Oh how about Afghanistan? I forgot they completely kicked our butts the first time around, but I'm sure that they'll be very willing to deal with me, because I'm the greatest man who's ever lived, and how can they resist my charm? Besides, I'm offering them money, who could possibly refuse my money? I am sure that many investors will line up to take advantage of a very stable investment in one of the world's least stable countries. What can one say? It's just the goon behaving like a goon, it's just another day in America.

First of all this is not a democratically elected government and Thailand is not a democracy. Secondarily this Administration has done absolutely nothing for the people and all they're doing is representing the interests of the army, the autocrats, and the billionaires. The young pm has always been completely out of her element, and her level of ineffectiveness is only match by the Goomba overseas.

This is a man that presided over 9 years of the Prayuth Administration, which resulted in absolute and utter decimation of the Thai economy. This man should never have been allowed anywhere near politics, and should be banished from the landscape entirely. Of course he's not saying anything, his level of moral bankruptcy is astonishing. He represents autocrats and billionaires, that's all he does, he does absolutely no work for the people, ever. He is the poster child for the empty suit crowd.

Your replies are so consistently dull, partisan, hateful and thoughtless.

What this spectacularly ignorant bully does not seem to understand is that the US would seize to exist without Canada, Mexico, and China. Period. End of story. One of the classic signs of a narcissist is the constant overestimation of one's own value. That can be said about him personally, and that could certainly be said about the US in general, especially in this day and age. And that influence is only declining by the day, at least partly thanks to the goon, his lowly VP, and Field Marshall Musk.

This is very correct, instead of even making a sincere effort to try to make America great again, Trump is sabotaging America's standing in the world and it is declining by the day. He is isolating America to a great extent, and making the US the laughing stock of the world. The decline started long before Trump. I estimate it was at least 30 years ago, but he's precipitating it quite dramatically. He will fail at what he does. A tidal wave of public sentiment will rise against this ignorant fool.

Yeah we all know that Putin is the master of a fair election isn't he? Oh wait a minute, that guy has high poll numbers, let's go ahead and take him out.

It is very hard to communicate with you because your ignorance and fealty knows no bounds. Canada has the tenth-largest economy in the world, with a GDP of about $2.117 trillion. It is a fantastic country, with amazing people, land and resources. But how would you know those kind of facts when you've been drinking so much Kool-Aid and listening to an numskull 24/7?

Around the world anti-Trump sentiment is building, and Zelensky is considered a hero for speaking out to a bully, and a numskull. Trump is an absolutely horrific negotiator, and one can see that fully on display now. When you give away the talking points of a negotiation prior to sitting down at the table you have failed. There is a 0% chance of success once you do that, and any decent negotiator knows that. The man could negotiate his way out of a paper bag to save his own life. The United States is now dependent upon this creep for to defend itself. Prior to the election all of his supporters knew that he adored dictators and despots and he had a lack of affection for democratically elected leaders, but did anybody guess that it would be this bad, so soon? The death and destruction is only beginning, give Trump another year or two and those who supported him will begin to understand the very nature of the man, and the staggering extent of his deception, malice, evil and corruption. Trump is a clear and present danger to the security of both the United States and the Free World and he must be stopped. The Senators and Congress members of his own party and the Democratic party must stand up and defend freedom and rational thinking, and against this insane goon.

I think there's no doubt about the fact that he's a Russian asset. I'm not sure if Putin has a significant amount of kompromat on him, or if he just simply worships desperate dictators to the point where Putin is just a natural friend of his. I do agree that Trump has a relatively low IQ, I would put it at about 91. Vance might be a little bit more intelligent maybe in the 105 range, but they're both fairly dim and you can certainly tell that. They're really out of their element, Vance embarrassed himself deeply with that ridiculous lecture in Munich, and then again in the Oval Office with Zelensky, lecturing him and kissing the butt of the new king. It was like a lowbrow WWF rope a dope show. And then Vance has the audacity to talk about bringing shame to the Oval Office? Guess who's bringing shame to the Oval Office on a daily basis?

I travel a lot and I have a late model Mazda which has a lot of internal electronics and computer systems which seem to draw a lot of battery power. So I'm looking for a trickle charger that I can use when I'm away for a week or longer. Any recommendations for one that's high quality? I don't mind spending a little extra for a good one.

He has very thin skin and a incredibly delicate ego, and usually that's masking some very serious internal psychological issues, which in Trump's case no doubt is about very low self-esteem. Of course he tries to mask this with bragadachio and puffing out his chest alot, but we all know that school boys that do that are just simply bullies with huge feelings of inadequacy. I definitely could understand why he has all that self-hatred after a lifetime of crime and fraud.

It would appear that that is the case, but I think that the entire world is heading for a divorce with the US. Trump is doing his level best to alienate every ally that we have, and all that's going to be left is Russia, China and North Korea. They seem to be his best friends anyway, even though he does moan a lot about China, he's likely in bed with Xi, just as much as he's in bed with Putin. It's a shame, as it's an 80-year alliance and it's a very necessary alliance. Europe as a whole is still quite powerful and quite dynamic and we need them. Especially as the creep cozys up to Putin.

This exemplifies all the qualities that Trump does not have and never will have. Virtually every quality he has is the opposite of honor, and the man is the opposite of a patriot. He is closer to a plague.

Oh, but I do blame the kid, and I blame the dad. They are both morally bankrupt and completely sold out.

Good one. Good on you. I too hope to be here the rest of my life I love it here and I do go back to the States a couple of times a year and after a month there it reminds me of the dozen reasons why I left, and life there is not getting any better it is declining by the day. Trump is making America worse, and he will never be able to follow through with his ridiculous slogan of making the place great again, that's 50 years in the past.

Well there's no question that Trump rushed it and Trump is partially to blame for the Afghan debacle and the manner in which we betrayed our Afghan assistants, translators and the people who trusted us. However even as a cantrost dem, I have always insisted that Biden could could have prolonged the withdrawal and done a much better job. Trump messed it up no doubt but Biden could have done something to try to repair a broken situation caused by the creep.

It is bewildering to see Mr Trump’s allies defending this debacle as some show of American strength,” the conservative-leaning Wall Street Journal editorial board said on Saturday, noting that US aims of limiting Russian expansionism without the use of US forces was now “harder to achieve”. The outlet warned that “turning Ukraine over to Mr Putin would be catastrophic for that country and Europe, but it would be a political calamity for Mr Trump too. Friday’s spectacle won’t make Putin any more willing to stop his onslaught” after invading Ukraine in 2022. The New York Times assessed that the derailed Oval Office meeting pointed to Trump’s “determination to scrap America’s traditional sources of power – its alliances among like-minded democracies – and return the country to an era of raw great-power negotiations.” “The three-year wartime partnership between Washington and Kyiv was shattered,” the paper added. Some conservative political figures also hit out at their fellow Republicans Trump and Vance for their handling over the meeting. “I hate to say this … but the United States right now is not the good guys in this,” said Adam Kinzinger, the former Republican congressman from Illinois who once served on a House committee that investigated Trump supporters’ attack on the US Capitol in early 2021. “It is going to be incredibly hard to walk back from the kind of animosity we saw in that room today and to walk back some of those statements,” Republican strategist Karl Rove told Fox News. “It could have been done if cameras had not been running, but the only winner out of today is Vladimir Putin.” In fact when Pete Hegseth, Trump’s new defence secretary, gave a speech shortly after Vance’s in which he said the US would no longer be “primarily focused” on European security and that Ukraine would never be allowed to join Nato – appearing to simply hand Russia key concessions in the negotiations over ending the war without getting anything in return – he was condemned by the Republican senator Roger Wicker, chair of the Senate’s powerful armed services committee. “I don’t know who wrote the speech – it is the kind of thing Tucker Carlson could have written, and Carlson is a fool,” Wicker said. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/feb/20/trump-zelenskyy-putin-ukraine-russia?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other

Huge Don. Diminishing America and ensuring it will never be great again. Lost in space. Floundering in his alternate universe of self importance.

The mid terms are likely to be a blood bath for the GOP. Trump has over reached and is failing. His voters are getting angry, and losing their jobs. Inflation is climbing, not falling. And the US becomes less relevant by the day. What a goon squad.

The sacred oval office where Trump and Vance sell their souls daily.

By behave are you suggesting that he should have taken a knee, and kissed the ring, not talked back and been completely compliant? Just like Trump the bully insists? Behave, or else! Don't you know who I am, don't you know where you are? As my sycophantic assistant mentioned, you are in sacred territory, you are in the Oval Office, don't you get it? We are the two most powerful men in the world, behave like it!

Nothing edifies less in an ingenious conversation, than boasting and rattle. It is as it were the dropsy of the mind, and swells a man like a bubble into nothing at last.
