"I was sitting at the table, we had finished dinner," Trump told Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo. "We're now having dessert—and we had the most beautiful piece of chocolate cake that you've ever seen—and President Xi was enjoying it."

Bartiromo then said it was "brilliant" that the missiles were "unmanned."

"It's so incredible. It's brilliant," Trump agreed.

"So what happens is I said 'we've just launched 59 missiles heading to Iraq and I wanted you to know this,'" Trump said in the interview. "And he was eating his cake. And he was silent."

1. Just no words...

[spanone]

2. so, some missiles have pilots?

kamikaze?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. Bartiromo must be almost as dumb as Trump.

Unmanned missiles? Who knew?

I'm glad SCROTUS enjoyed his cake. Somewhere Marie Antoinette is smiling.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

17. She's no military expert. So I wouldn't expect her to

know that these have been discontinued and we don't need to drive them anymore.

[dchill]

27. +1000.

[Wellstone ruled]

19. Maria is a Mullit Million

ex Wall Street Trader. She had a stint on CNBC and her hard Right Wing Politics finally did her in. Her Guy Pal is a Banker at Goldman. And She does come off rather Ignorant of Daily Issues.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

24. Being rich isn't proof of intelligence.

Trump proved that quite conclusively.

[Wellstone ruled]

31. So agree,

a Maria fits that picture.

[coco22]

39. She is in my opinion..

no matter the issue its about how much money she can make..

[dchill]

4. "Let them eat cake, she said, just like Marie Antoinette.

A built-in remedy
For Khrushchev and Kennedy
At anytime an invitation
You can't decline
Caviar and cigarettes
Well versed in etiquette
Extraordinarily nice

She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime

Recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite
Want to try?"

From "Killer Queen" - by Queen

[FSogol]

13. Except that Trump is going eat the cake all by himself. n/t

[dchill]

26. Well, let him!

[3_Limes]

5. Along with "deal"

I'm really beginning to tire of the word "beautiful".

[C_U_L8R]

6. Next time, Trump can 'man' the missile

[Initech]

7. I'd like to tell him where he can shove that cake....

[Grammy23]

8. I just THOUGHT I couldn't despise this buffoon more.

Guess I was wrong.

[HughBeaumont]

9. The Trumps are the new Ceausescus.

That nasty fuck appointed family to high positions (who lived high off the hog while Romania starved), looted private and public coffers, instituted an overreaching police state and had a giant children's medical crisis on his hands due to forced births and infected vaccination needles.

The more things stay the same . . . .

[bronxiteforever]

11. +1000 the American people are just housekeeping staff for family trump

we have a potus who feels the White House is not good enough for him!

[yardwork]

10. Syria, Iraq, they're all the same. Trump is a sadistic madman.

That story is absolutely chilling.

[underpants]

15. Thank you. Maybe we missiled the wrong country

God knows we invaded the wrong one 14 years ago.

[Lucinda]

12. Do you have the link for this? I want to share it.

[Vinca]

14. I just read it over at the Huffington Post. Top of the page.

[Lucinda]

21. Thank you Vinca!

[Miles Archer]

16. Just updated the OP...thanks for the heads up. n/t

[Lucinda]

20. Thanks much!

[smirkymonkey]

18. What the ever loving fuck!

I think I'm going to need to check myself in somewhere. I just can't bear this soullessness and stupidity any longer.

[Achilleaze]

22. this draft-dodging clod is who the republicans choose as a "leader"

deplorable

[Manly_Scream]

23. Is there a way we can send him cake?

How about one of those mayo-based chocolate cakes?

With cream cheese icing and bacon strips between the slices.

I'm sure it would do his body good.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

25. The dude is insane, and he's playing a very dangerous game.

He's such a transparent ass with the story because basically he's trying to pull a power play on Xi, i.e., "He could only sit and eat cake like a kid while the great and powerful Trump shot off missiles at Syria."

Of course, he's neglecting the fact he played "Mother May I?" with Putin on the strikes hours earlier.

But the greater point is that he's acting like this is all some dumb business game, when in fact he's dealing with military actions.

[sakabatou]

28. Trump plays the fiddle while Rome burns

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

32. Not the fiddle; the violin is a difficult instrument.

Maybe the kazoo.

[ProudLib72]

29. Sounds like an acid induced love fest

Then the giraffe with the binoculars eats the cake and announces the beautiful missiles are on their way to Jupiter to plant the singing flowers.

Someone please tell me the CIA is conducting Project Mar a Lago Ultra.

[JHan]

30. See why it's hard to be civil with this MOFO in the W.H.?

fucking asshole. Read a fucking book and work up a coherent foreign policy jackass.

[Charles Bukowski]

33. Was this a contest to see who can come off as the bigger idiot?

If so, Trump won it...just barely.

[asiliveandbreathe]

34. So, they eat cake..while we eat shit...what a POS! eom

[progressoid]

35. What. In. The. Ever. Loving. Fuck.

[superpatriotman]

36. He is Chauncey the Gardener IRL

Or maybe Forest Drumpf

[Angry Dragon]

37. Didn't someone in France, a long time ago, talk about eating cake??

[Javaman]

38. the dark triad...

I can't post this enough...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_triad

The dark triad is a subject in psychology that focuses on three personality traits: narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy.[1][2][3][4] Use of the term "dark" implies that people possessing these traits have malevolent qualities.[5][6][7][8]

Research on the dark triad is used in applied psychology, especially within the fields of law enforcement, clinical psychology and business management. People scoring high on these traits are more likely to commit crimes, cause social distress and create severe problems for an organization, especially if they are in leadership positions (for more information, see psychopathy, narcissism, and Machiavellianism in the workplace).

All three dark triad traits are conceptually distinct although empirical evidence shows them to be overlapping. They are associated with a callous-manipulative interpersonal style.[9]

Narcissism is characterized by grandiosity, pride, egotism, and a lack of empathy.[10]
Machiavellianism is characterized by manipulation and exploitation of others, a cynical disregard for morality, and a focus on self-interest and deception.[11]
Psychopathy is characterized by enduring antisocial behavior, impulsivity, selfishness, callousness, and remorselessness.[12]
A factor analysis carried out at the Glasgow Caledonian University found that among the big five personality traits, low agreeableness is the strongest correlate of the dark triad, while neuroticism and a lack of conscientiousness were associated with some of the dark triad members.[11]

40. he's all that, and a fucking bag of flaming poop

god help us

[gratuitous]

41. Oh boy, won't Sean Hannity have something to say about this!

Actually, Sean Hannity won't have anything to say about this. This is full-on sociopathic behavior. We're about a half step away from, "His eye offends me; pluck it out." "Which one, sir?" "Doesn't matter."

[Fast Walker 52]

42. HE'S SICK!!!!!! I don't think I could be more disgusted, but he keeps the puke funnel full

[Tommy_Carcetti]

43. Just so we have some reference, here's a picture of the cake:
