I didn't think I could find him more repulsive, but I was wrong.


Btw, you can delete all that html above and below the tweet.

when I posted a tweet, the same thing happened, and I had to look carefully to see exactly what was the extraneous html to delete. I did preview it and fix it before posting, though, which I recommend.

It happens with simpler images sometimes, too. But there's usually far less to remove.

You do still have some extraneous stuff there. But, as I said, you can always try deleting more and use the preview button to see what you've got. Keep doing so until it's right.

But then, I'm a perfectionist, so I have to get every last bit of that unnecessary html out!

He is an embarrassment, not only to the US, but to the entire world. You know he just couldn't wait to get back at Macron for the last time Macron showed him who was boss. What a classless pig he is!

He does not belong on the stage with respectable world leaders and diplomats. He is nothing more than a vulgar, thuggish gangster from Queens who will never belong in the company of people who aren't just like him.

I don't think that Melania, nor he got the message though...it was fun to watch that anyway.

but this is some weird shit. the republicans have shoved a criminal freak out in front of the world as their ignoble role model and Draft-Dodger-in-Chief, and he's totally full of weird, disrespectful, belligerent shit.
