At, y'know, the G7 today.
NoNoNoNoNononooooo. He didn't mean that!
Reporter: “Mr. President, any second thoughts on escalating the trade war with China?”
Trump: “Yeah, sure, why not?”
Reporter. “Second thoughts? Yes?”
Trump: “Might as well. Might as well.”
So it went a third time. “You have second thoughts about escalating the war with China?” a reporter asked.
Trump: “I have second thoughts about everything.”
NoNoNoNoNononooooo. He didn't mean that!
“He has no second thoughts, no second thoughts,”Mnuchin said [...in television interviews].
Whew! Glad that's clear.
“He didn’t quite hear the question this morning,” [National Economic Council Director Larry] Kudlow told reporters.
He didn't hear it. Three times he didn't hear it.
And besides, he really meant he regrets YOUR FACE!
“The president responded in the affirmative — because he regrets not raising the tariffs higher,” press secretary Stephanie Grisham said...
Boris Johnson generally strongly agrees with Trump...err...whatever he might have said....err... but
“To register the faint, sheeplike note of our view on the trade war, we’re in favor of trade peace on the whole, and dialing it down if we can,” Johnson [bleated].

08-25-2019, 11:19 PMThe clue that he didn't understand the question was when he said he has thoughts.08-26-2019, 12:01 AMDo you need to have first thoughts to have second thoughts?08-26-2019, 12:29 AMBTW, Macron apparently secretly invited Iranian foreign minister Zarif to Biarritz while the G7 (and Trump, and John Bolton) was there, and Zarif met with Macron and “British and German diplomats”. Apparently Trump wasn’t told about it.
Trump: “No comment”.
Former U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley called it “completely disrespectful” to Trump and the other G-7 leaders. “Manipulative of Macron to do this and very insincere. #NotWhatFriendsDo”
Poor snowflakes. What goes around comes around.08-26-2019, 01:41 AMBeen seeing these headlines about how *everyone* is treading lightly around the toddler. Who gives a fuck. There are all sorts of more minor diplomats and dignitaries invited there. Macron owes Trump nothing. It's his country ...
... hey, speaking of which, next summer the U.S. will host the G7. I can't imagine who might be invited here, to everyone else's consternation. Perhaps someone whose name rhymes with 'shoo-in."08-26-2019, 11:21 AMdeckeda wrote:

And now he’s (publicly) saying he wants it at Doral.
“He went on to give a long commercial of sorts for the property, hailing its acres, separate buildings for different delegations and “great” conference rooms.”

Supposedly, he took the money he got from German and Russian banks to rehab the place and walked with it, leaving most of the bills for the upgrades unpaid and many of the repair projects incomplete. He was sued repeatedly over unpaid bills and has been on the verge of a court-ordered foreclosure on the property at least once.
By all accounts, the place is a rotting s---hole.08-26-2019, 09:49 PMdeckeda wrote:
