I did find this kind of amusing.

Also, DJT kind of writes in Walt Disney font.

Gonna share this on facebook and can't wait to see the impending flame war to follow of how Obama doesn't care about Jews, etc.

Money.CNN: Carrier plant that Trump helped save will cut 300 jobs right before Christmas

Sad to hear those losing their jobs. Might have jumped on that victory train a little too early. Trump took credit for Ford saying they weren't moving their plant to Mexico, then last week Ford announces they're cutting close to 10% of their jobs worldwide and Trump silent. Positive Jobs reports pre-Trump were fake news. Decent jobs reports under Trump were real. Bad jobs reports with Trump silence.

Saw this on the BBC's website.

does amusing = the same thing as pathetic now in 2017?

what an absolutely pathetic message after going through something like that

reminds me of the one girl taking selfies in the gas chambers in Poland.

that reads like a child wrote it

The tweet I stole that picture from described it as a message you might find in a 5th grader's yearbook, which seems accurate.

Trump's no linguist, that's for sure, and perhaps couching it charitably. But, honestly, which message did you read in its entirety?

I read Obama's a couple of times to digest it fully. Glanced at Thumbs' once and chuckled. His glibness and insincerity is evident.

I'm gonna use these messages plus Hillary's in my adult class on Friday. Should be interesting.

At some point I think we need to start discussing the elephant in the room regarding the Trump presidency.

vote vets has commented on the budget:

The #TrumpBudget – hands down – is the most anti-veteran, anti-military-family budget that any White House has ever released.

But, honestly, which message did you read in its entirety?

i have read both of them in its entirety

At some point I think we need to start discussing the elephant in the room regarding the Trump presidency.

I'll take a few guesses:

1). Its blaring and utter incompetence
2). His lack of a normal intelligence about government and world matters
3). His supporters who are going to get very little of what they expected

Israel alters US intelligence-sharing rules after Trump's Russia meeting: report

Israel has changed its intelligence-sharing protocols with the United States after President Trump revealed highly classified intelligence information to Russian diplomats that had come from Israel, according to a Wednesday interview with Israel's defense minister.

“I can confirm that we did a spot repair and that there’s unprecedented intelligence cooperation with the United States,” Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman told Army Radio, Voice of America reported.

Army Radio is a nationwide Israeli network operated by the Israel Defense Forces.

“What we had to clarify with our friends in the United States, we did. We did our checks,” Liberman said, but he declined to say what changes had been made.

“Not everything needs to be discussed in the media; some things need to be talked about in closed rooms,” he said.

Trump revealed the classified intelligence on the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria to Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak while meeting with them earlier this month at the White House.

The information — related to an ISIS threat involving bombs planted inside laptop computers carried on airplanes — was provided by Israel through an intelligence-sharing arrangement, but the country did not give the United States permission to share the information with Russia.

A U.S. official with knowledge of the meeting said Trump “revealed more information to the Russian ambassador than we have shared with our own allies” and boasted that he had “great intel.”

And Israeli intelligence officials reportedly vented their anger at their American counterparts that the disclosure may have jeopardized an important source of information.

Trump on Twitter defended his disclosure to the Russians, writing, “As president I wanted to share with Russia [at an openly scheduled W.H. meeting] which I have the absolute right to do, facts pertaining to terrorism and airline flight safety. Humanitarian reasons, plus I want Russia to greatly step up their fight against ISIS & terrorism.”

And on Monday during an appearance with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel, Trump said that he “never mentioned the word or the name Israel” during the Oval Office meeting.

“They're all saying I did, so you have another story wrong,” Trump said in Jerusalem. “Never mentioned the word Israel.”

Netanyahu, meanwhile, said during the meeting with Trump that “intelligence cooperation is terrific” with the United States and has “never been better.”

The information was reportedly gathered by a spy embedded within the terrorist group that was working on behalf of Israel, although U.S. and Israeli authorities have neither confirmed nor denied the source was linked to Israel.

National security adviser H.R. McMaster, who was in the room during the meeting with the Russians, said last week Trump “wasn’t even aware of where this information came from” because “he wasn’t briefed on the source.”

"I'm aware of the criticisms and would simply come back and say there's other places where we were probably overly conservative in our accounting," he said. "We stand by the numbers."

"We thought that the assumption that the tax reform would be deficit-neutral was the most reasonable of the three options that we had," he said.

Surely they were conservative enough in other places to account for $2 trillion.

Disregard the source if you must, but I was too lazy to keep looking for one more people would care for:

Tump threatens the Pope? "I will not forget what you said."

Tump threatens the Pope? "I will not forget what you said."

Did he threaten him? I hadn't/haven't heard. From a historical standpoint I can tell you that getting mouthy with the Pope didn't bode so well for Atilla the Hun.
