The Washington Post got ahold of some transcripts, and what screams out is the Tiny Tyrant’s focus on himself, and little else. Even in the midst of this whinging over his ego and appearance, it’s stunningly superficial. Given the seriousness of the various subjects, it’s a head-shaking reminder of black hole of idiocy supposedly in charge of a fucking country. It would seem that the latest move in taking charge is a 17 day golf vacation. FFS.
Just bits here and there:
I did not want to have a meeting. I did not want to meet with anybody.
We cannot say that anymore because if you are going to say that Mexico is not going to pay for the wall, then I do not want to meet with you guys anymore because I cannot live with that.
But you cannot say that to the press. The press is going to go with that and I cannot live with that.
And I am saying, boy that will make us look awfully bad. Here I am calling for a ban where I am not letting anybody in and we take 2,000 people. Really it looks like 2,000 people that Australia does not want and I do not blame you by the way, but the United States has become like a dumping ground.
This is going to kill me. I am the world’s greatest person that does not want to let people into the country.
I hate taking these people. I guarantee you they are bad. That is why they are in prison right now. They are not going to be wonderful people who go on to work for the local milk people.
This is a stupid deal. This deal will make me look terrible.
Okay, this shows me to be a dope. I am not like this but, if I have to do it, I will do it but I do not like this at all.
I look so foolish doing this.
They were from wherever they were.
It is important to you and it is embarrassing to me. It is an embarrassment to me.
You can read the whole mess at The Washington Post.

I think we should support him going on a permanent golf vacation. Other than that he made fun of Obama for playing golf so much, he’s least harmful on the links, where he can cheat and bluster and be surrounded by asskissers.
Caine says
The idiot can’t even keep his mouth shut playing golf. Now he’s howling because a golf mag reported about his calling the white house a dump, in front of a good number of people.
Caine says
And I’ve never been there, but I’m pretty sure you can’t categorize the white house a dump; probably doesn’t have enough television sets and cheap gilt for Donny.
Saad says
What a frightening image of what this scumbag is like.
Reading those comments back to back paints a very scary picture.
Good job, America.

Saad@#4:
Good job, America.
One of the problems with being a white American living in Pennsylvania in the summer is that I’m getting differential suntan from walking around with my palm over my face in the sun.
komarov says
Infuriatingly unspecific!
Maybe Americans should get together and ask Trump to step down because the presidency is clearly beneath him. He’s too good for office and he shouldn’t have to waste his precious time with it. It’s also unfair on the other politicians and nations who simply can’t keep up with his intangible greatness. Just keep a straight face until after he signs the resignation.
coragyps says
Caine, it’s obviously a dump because, to my knowledge, there are no 6-foot-tall gold letters anywhere in the joint that spell “TRUMP.” I mean, how dumpy is that?
Caine says
I’m not into gilt by association. ;)
cubist says
How about drive-by association, Caine?
Caine says
Nor that.

This is why the US cannot have nice things any more.
