a fucking tool he is.

Would love to have been a fly on the wall at the first meeting where he went to them begging for money because no bank on EARTH would deal with him (because he was known to never pay people back) , and what was said AFTER dumbshit left the room


these guys, these big league oligarch criminal murderer dictators, look at each other and say

"who knows, maybe someday we own the Oval Office"

And Merkel was there, looking much happier with President Obama? and the crowds were nuts?

I'd say that's some Merkel shade.

I'd grab him by his tiny shriveled ball bag and go peacefully to jail after giving it a twist or two.

Then again...that's a terrible idea. He might enjoy it.

intentionally let 'em rip (fart) in front of those with whom he had some real or perceived annoyance.

I'm sure others have encountered these figures... While some might be acting out of a loss of inhibition that can come with the various stages of dementia, I've encountered it in those who very likely had nothing but inherent nastiness to blame.

They all seem to be looking knowingly at each other, expecting him to let one rip.

Sorry, but you can tell by the depth of field.
The camera is focused on Dump. It's set with a wide aperture which is how you create short depth of field. Anything some distance behind the focal plane is blurry.

1 day, 2 presidents: Merkel meets with Obama, then Trump

There's no secret about which of the two American presidents German Chancellor Angela Merkel is meeting Thursday that she likes the most. On a day of odd political coincidences, Merkel sat down with one President she calls a friend and with whom she shares a political wavelength -- Barack Obama, and another, with whom she has had a frosty start -- Donald Trump.
Merkel, the most powerful leader in Europe, first met Obama in Berlin discussing democracy and faith at the Brandenburg Gate, meters away from the path of the Cold War wall which once split the city, at an event hosted by the German protestant church.

Trump is in focus. She is further back and not looking at him.

I suspect if she was looking at him, we'd either see her projectile vomiting, or asking her associates to hold her back from tearing his stupid hair out.

The look on the faces of the "happy group" slightly behind tRump while he was chastising them during his speech was priceless. They looked concerned, angry, bemused and disbelieving and reflected a group of people who were very unhappy with what they were hearing. They leaned over and made comments to one another, raised eye brows and gave away their real feelings. I am pretty sure I saw some of them give him the stink eye. Of course, they have too much class and control to walk out on him, which is what should have happened. He is an arrogant twit and his stunts today....yes, there were several....just indicate how far over his head he is. He is a huge embarrassment and there is NOTHING he can do to fix it, except maybe return home ASAP and resign.
