From Hayley Jones Daily Beast.... "Confused advisers nodded politely or ignored Trump as he randomly started talking about John Podesta at #G20" Oy! That right there is part of the problem - the enablers! I doubt they said something afterward too. Has he brought up the Electoral College yet? Save

He's insane. Legitimately insane. The lengths this moron will go to to make himself seem important...ugh. He reminds me of a Roald Dahl character sometimes. Like a male version of Veruca Salt with the restraint of Aunt Sponge.

When I saw that clip of this idiot wandering around looking again like he doesn't know what the fuck he's doing, I don't know why, but I thought of HRC's stumble after attending a 9/11 remembrance ceremony while dealing with pneumonia. The vitriol on this board and everywhere else was staggering. If it wasn't so sad for our country, if I were her, I'd been pointing at that idiot and laughing my ass off now. And let us not forget how they went wild over her "seizure". 🙄

From Alec Luhn - Guardian ...
"These are the ones that insulted you?" Putin asked Trump, gesturing at the journalists being ushered out of the room. Chuckles all around"
IMO that one comment from Putin makes trump look like a whining baby.
And..
"Russia FM Lavrov—"Trump told Putin that some circles in the US are exaggerating the topic of Russian cyber meddling" ria.ru/world/20170707…"
Isn't that nice.

what a dipshit! is right! one of the comments from the linked article re: the Podesta tweet made me chuckle... "Trump and Tillerson meeting with Putin and Lavrov is akin to Laurel & Hardy challenging the Williams sisters to a tennis match." Th
trump and Tillerson are soooo very woefully inadequate to meet with Putin; it's like third graders talking with a physics professor!
It's almost painful to even think about how horrible that meeting must have gone- all the analysts, ambassadors, etc. were talking about yesterday was the other people who should also have been included. One person on MSNBC (can't remember who) said the meeting would probably go the direction of however Trump feels when they actually meet, considering that his attention span is so short and his moods are so changeable.
Another commentator gave a pretty succinct analysis of Trump that I agree with wholeheartedly-- he's a bully who talks big and mean but who is too cowardly to actually confront anyone in person or follow through with any of his threats. So he can say whatever 'big, strong' thing he wants but when push comes to shove, he's a coward-- but Putin?? He is NOT a coward.
ETA: did you hear Trump talking in circles around the whole Russian interference thing?
"it might have been the Russians, it might not have been, it could have been any number of countries, it might not have happened at all..." and then in the very next breath, he says: "but you know who DIDN'T do anything about it, was OBAMA! He knew about it in August 2016, yet he did nothing!" <-- wait a sec- I thought nothing happened for sure? Let me get this straight: President Obama was supposed to have done something about a thing that may have, or may not have happened, by some entity he did, or did not have proof about? Which is it?!? Does he even ever LISTEN to himself speak??

From Rep. Adam Schiff...
"Forming a working group on cyber interference in elections with Russia is akin to inviting North Korea to lead one on nonproliferation."
If true what could possibly go wrong or how much information will Russia get on the workings of our intelligence groups?
This is not a #MAGA moment. Dumb nut.

So that we can also have one with the circle with a line thru it for a not MAGA moment. 🚫

Lawrence Summer former cabinet head..
"When the elephant in the room is his own mental stability, President confirmed doubts by bizarrely tweeting @ HRC's campaign manager"
I think he has a point as that tweet about Podesta while at the G20 was just plain bizarre.

"Pres. Trump announces US will pledge $50 million to new World Bank initiative his daughter Ivanka helped spearhead abcn.ws/2sAHQIb"
That would be nice if trump's budget wasn't slashing funds to things like HUD grants which funds things like Meals on Wheels for Seniors and slashing funds for subsidizes that help people warm their homes in Winter.
This is nothing but an attempt to make Ivanka and trump look compassionate.

Those Trumps love to slush around with play$$.

I know it's just a snippet in time, but it speaks volumes. Just the look on his face says all. He never looks happy to be anywhere. oh, wow... When you think about everything he's done to alienate the US from the rest of the world already, that picture truly embodies the statement 'a picture is worth a thousand words,' doesn't it? (also shows just how uncomfortable, over his head, fish-out-of-water, insert-your-own-favorite-phrase-here that he truly is. He is SO woefully inadequate to the office of the Presidency, it's not even funny.)

Perhaps Ivanka could hold the press conference... after all, she did sit in for Daddy Trump at one of the meetings. I must have missed that it was "bring your kid to work day" at the G20. LINK
Isn't this the same Ivanka who just recently said "I try to stay out of politics" when asked about her father's use of Twitter? The whole family are hypocrites.
I am still dumbfounded and I guess so too are many world leaders...that this woman who has no experience and no credentials is in the room (and even at the table for short periods) at this high level of political meetings. I'm sure she had a lot of insight into African development...maybe she suggested that all the children could be rounded up into giant factories to make her "designer" shoes and get paid 5 cents a pair?
Trump must be a laughing stock to the others that his daughter tags along with him like this.

He makes a mockery of the office of the Presidency and of the United States as a whole. We elected the stereotypical Ugly American to our highest office, and, unfortunately, the entire world will pay the price.
Imagine the outrage if Hillary had used Chelsea as a stand in.

Except for when he's flirting shamelessly over a tall blonde woman from Ireland's press. That was unreal! Then again, maybe she reminded him of Ivanka (tall, blonde...)

The ABC Political editor in Australia gave stinging commentary about trump while at The G20. he also said: If he lasts the 4 years, your next president is going to have to spend most of his/her time getting back the respect of other world leaders that Trump lost for you. Who knew that "make America great again" was Trump predicting what his successor's main job is going to be.
