His whole demeanour just screams 'so what'.
Doesn't anyone brief him before he meets people, shouldn't he have the smallest clue who he's meeting and why? Also, why are they standing behind him? Wouldn't it be better to have them in front so he wasn't constantly swivelling and looking away?

He wants to know how he can win one, too.  And to ask her, "Where are they, now?" She told you they were dead!  |

I don’t think he responded the way he did to be an asshole. I honestly do not believe he has the mental faculties to attend to that many details of that many people at once. I think he was overwhelmed by all of the people and couldn’t follow their stories. Whether or not it’s because he thought they were boring or if he couldn’t focus/follow along with all of them is an unknown. And we know he doesn’t read his briefings on situations or people when they give them to him. Which is also unfortunate because it shows he is unprepared/unwilling to do his job. This is part of his job.
It is unfortunate that we have someone like Trump in the Oval Office. He is unfit to be president.

Shameful. He doesn’t have the decency to properly prep himself for meeting people, nor to listen to people when they speak. He has zero leadership attributes, and fails at basic humanity.
I prep more for a sales call with a vendor I’m pretty sure I don’t want to use.

His only reason for meeting them is a photo opportunity, so he always stays seated while others stand, surrounding him. |

Unreal:
-Nadia Murad: “They [ISIS] Killed my mom, my six brothers”
-Donald Trump: “Where are they now?”
-Murad: “They Killed them..they are in the mass graves in Sinjar”
[Trump nods...]
Can't beat this for dimwit!

It's truly shameful that a man in his position, the so called leader of the free world doesn't know anything about the genocide that happened to her people ( the Yazidis) Thousands of Yazidi and Christian religious minorities were trapped on Sinjar mountain having fled from ISIS forces.Both Britain and the US made humanitarian air drops of aid and the US had air strikes over the region. Eventually, with the additional help of the Kurds,the ones that survived were led to safety off the mountain. Nadia Murrad, the woman he was talking to was kidnapped and used as a sex slave by ISIS. She's now a human rights activist against the use of women and children as weapons of war.
How could he not know that? Does he not brief himself on anything? They're all there thanking him, for what? He doesn't know who they are, let alone help any of them. It beggars belief that a man with such power as the President of the United States knows nothing of the world outside his own country.

o he always stays seated while others stand, surrounding him. This drives me crazy, so disrespectful to crowd them all round him sitting down. It looks so uncomfortable for them and he only half turns to look at them, almost no eye contact. Then others just get to look at the back of his head. Everything they've been through and that fat fucker can't even meet with them face to face. Makes me livid. Such a manipulative power play. As always there is zero empathy for anyone except himself. he'll bang on about how "badly" he's treated, but will never acknowledge anyone who has truly had awful things happen to them There is only ONE response when someone tells you that someone close to them has died or been killed: "I'm sorry for your loss" He can't even manage to squeak that out in a pretence of caring. May as well just nod and confirm to everyone that he doesn't give a shit. Kudos to Nadia though she got some good points in "Got a lot of support from President Macron" "95,000 Yazidis emigrated to Germany" Managing to point out the other world leaders who are actually doing good in the world and not constantly yammering about "America first" He's not only a disgrace to all the decent people in America, but he's a disgrace to 'humanity' |

Like he is a peacock strutting for the cameras and nothing else. and he ain't good at it. Always a show. Always about him. Nothing and no one is important enough to let it over shadow him.. Pathetic and uncaring. |

It beggars belief that a man with such power as the President of the United States knows nothing of the world outside his own country. he doesn't care about anything outside his orbit. (sorry about 2 in row posts, forgot how to quote multiple- remind me?) ETA as far as what pjaye brought up, always sitting in chair. I swear when I see him surrounded by people like that, I always thinks he has to sit in "president chair" and "president desk" just to prove he "president". Pathetic sophomoric power play. Such a simpleton. |

Also if he’s sitting it’s harder to compare his height to that of other people when it’s well known what their actual height is. Just a thought. |

I don’t ever remember President Obama doing something like that. No, he rolled on the floor with a baby, let a little boy feel his hair, held a baby over his head (that, as we all know, can be dangerous).... smiled at people, hugged as needed.. said I am sorry and the list goes on... |

Again I’m going to say - Dementia - typical behavior of a dementia patient is to be unable to process information just given to you & react on it. Telling my mother about someone’s funeral would not stop her from asking how they were. She simply could not process that information properly to respond to it. Kind of like this ( shortened version of a real conversation ) .. mom: your late today Us: yea we went to Bobs funeral before coming here Mom: how is Bob? Us: Bob is dead Mom: be sure to tell your father you saw Bob Us: Dad’s been dead for 5 years Mom: Maybe your father & Bob can go boating since the weather is nice. Us: 🙄 ok mom ( but inside we a screaming ‘they are both dead’ but it won’t do any good so we just say ok ) And people are ok with him having the nuclear codes? |
