But he has to answer to the Pope for what the Pope said about his (Trump) wall! Trump won't let that one go!

agenda and forums to prepare for President Hillary Clinton, known to be not too smart and having a short attention span.


Now how big of a news story would THAT be?

From any other perspective, virtually guaranteed to embarrass the USA (more).

Everyday in so many ways....embarrassment....don't think for a moment the foreign countries are bracing for the idiot in chief...especially considering his islamophobia..

Can we petition having this POS passport revoked - once he is out of the country? -

He cannot be embarrassed, he will be treated "unfairly", he will be assaulted by "fake news", etc. and that will be everywhere.

It's 100% percent for embarrassing the country. He doesn't even need to leave the country to do that daily, 100% everywhere.

For sure he will trump'splain to Israel about classified material.

I shudder when I think of examples of what he will most likely do, so I'm ending my comment here.

If I could put bets on him NOT humiliating himself and the country, I'd be rich by the end of the trip.

He left his comfort zone when he moved into the White House, and on this trip will leave it far behind.

Unintended international incident, war, adversaries testing us militarily, raids and jail for aides and government officials, economic chaos, and plague are all potential events with Trump awake and out of bed.
