    No, that came directly from him, when he was on Air Force One, via tweets, and from his aides going on national news shows saying, "there's a special place in hell" for what Trudeau supposedly did. No "picture interpretation" required for that.

    All that has been said about that picture, from what I've seen, is that he was acting like a petulant child... to a number of leaders (other than Trudeau)... which that picture (and the cartoons) have shown.

    It's not like he's inviting them down to Mara Lago for a round of golf or something... at least I don't think that's what's going on there.

    If not that, what do YOU think that picture is relaying? Just that single snapshot... no context (because it doesn't really matter). What does the body language tell you about that moment in time?

    Maybe it’s the attitude of “America can do whatever it wants” written all over his face and an attitude trend common among Trump supporters that’s offputting and counter productive. While being largely true, it doesn’t actually help anything to wear that attitude on your sleeve. More flies with honey than vinegar or something...

    That's kind of a funny take on things. Not surprising, but funny.

    ...yes? But we'll never get the chance, because *actual* misogyny dictates that we'd never elect a woman who was still "young enough" to be attractive no matter how intelligent or qualified. And god forbid she doesn't have a First Dude, or some children to raise, that just means she's a deficient career shrew. The same would be said if she DID have a First Dude and children to raise, because then she'd be neglecting them.

    Lmao. Mr. Steal Yo’ Girl. Prince William looks like he’s considering going medieval on his royal subjects across the pond.

    “Was” as in “when he WAS 18 years old”. That’s when his dad’s genes start kicking in.

    I wonder if he’ll continue his dad’s tradition of dumping his pretty wife in trade for the witch from “Pumpkinhead”.

    Well he’s turned her uterus into a clown car so who knows. Something tells me he won’t leave her behind. Unless she cheats first...

    It looks to me like Trump got exactly what he wanted, defiant toddler or not. The first photo shows the recording devices or translators with headphones on the table. It looks to me like as soon as they were adjourned(?) all the leaders made a beeline to come speak with Trump, who didn't even have to get up. I'm sure that strokes his ego, and continues to make him think he's the most powerful man in the room, regardless of what they were actually saying to him.

    The arrow from the respective doctrines of Monroe -> Roosevelt -> Bush -> Trump is like a descent of man poster.

    The Truman Doctrine should fit somewhere in there as well, since its the basis of US foreign policy for the last 70 years. Where it fits in is debatable.

    We actually have a few hotties in the house (ahem Tulsi Gabbard). Of course we'd have to elect a woman to the presidency before getting into the whole hotness thing. Traditionally we don't elect young people to the highest office period. Obama was unusually young and he was in his mid 40s.

    Really though, why did any of you have to bring up this whole female hotness thing with women and politics. Shame on all of you. SHAME.

    She will not be able to cheat. She will be hounded every waking minute of every waking hour of every single day, literally until she dies. Her new step-sister? Twice as hard.

    Gabbard is is one of very few people left who is worthy of running for President.

    With you, without you, or in spite of you. The world is moving forward in this manner. Do you think the world is following the G6 or America? You decide. America is the big swinging dick at the table, they are renegotiating the trade deals now. Whether Canada, Mexico or the EU want to admit it or not, they have to take the deal Trump hands them or face the consequences.

    Was this one before or after this:



    Before or after he went dead-silent on Putin slapping Ukraine in the mouth? Too bad he couldn't look Putin in the eye in the picture, at least then it would be more believable that he had any heart. Maybe he should write another book about it.

    At this moment in time? If I were the rest of the world I'd be crossing my fingers that the G6 leads the way, but be pessimistically preparing for a Chinese century. The United States is actively throwing away everything that made it a global leader.

    What consequences? That the stupid whiney backstabbing bitch fucks up your country, then other countries beyond recognition? Have you even listened to the babbling tantrum nonsense he’s been spouting in the last few days?

    They’re not taking the deal because they all know that he’s a pouting idiot, not worthy of their level. Ask yourself: how much sleep were you losing over trade before you elected him? Before he fucked it all up for everybody?

    What happens if countries start calling Pence when they want to get things done?

    Would that be called a coup? Or would Republicans roll with it?

    Oh Kudlow had a heart attack? You see, Trudeau doesn’t just troll with brother photos and have a pentratimg “male gaze”. He also knows voodoo.
