China Japan and the U.S. should be able to get some great golf rounds in at the very least!

Maybe trump will play this again for the G-7 at the Doral Miami just like he did a few days ago.

And while some participants may have enjoyed it, others were appalled. We really don't know that trump was not responsible. As trump lies multiple times per day, why should anyone believe him. trump did tweet the video of himself taking down the 'CNN' outside the wrestling right several years back along with the video of the trump train hitting the CNN reporter on the railroad tracks. What makes this video any different of what trump has tweeted in the past?

... Any thoughts out there on the location? ... Love it. There is no up side to it for President Trump, only potential down side in the middle of the summer doldrums of the presidential elections. People who are marginally attuned will only hear, "President hosts official meeting at his own property." Details won't matter. It won't add to his support and might push a few away from voting for him. I think that election will be close enough that every little bit will help in the effort to not have him reelected.

The nipple twisting this administration does is wildly entertaining. I'm going to miss it when Trump leaves office in 12 or 16 years- or maybe I won't miss it at all...

Value Buy - curious what you personally think about it.
FWIW, I think it's wrong on so many levels.

I think most people will believe he's doing it either 1) he's too stupid to understand how the general public will view this as pure grifting, or 2) he's so greedy he's blind to the fact that the general public will view this as grifting or 3) he's such a sublime businessman he's figured out all the ways he can milk the system to his benefit.
The Dems and the GOPers have already decided if they're voting for Trump or not. The 40% or so of independents are still potentially up for grabs, and I'm confident independent voters are more likely to go with option 1 or option 2, and not option 3 - so if he really did this 'just for fun' as you claim, he's a special kind of idiot. Neither side in this election can afford to give up any possible independent votes.
My vote is option 2 - he is constantly stepping into shit and then being surprised at the backlash against him. Look at the shitstorm he created with Turkey - managed to get Congress nearly unanimously united against him almost instantaneously, with just one phone call to Turkey.
I'm betting he's once again surprised at the chaos this G7 will create, and within 24 hours he will reverse that decision and some poor WH flunky will be out of a job for doing just exactly what Trump told him to do.

There is great evidence that we are a strong nation because we change leaders every 8 years (or so). Take away that and Bill Clinton might still be President. I would have enjoyed 4 more years of Obama, but I won't ever encourage this country to go back to a time when we could have a President for life. That is when things get very, very bad.

It actually makes me sad when I have to explain that this is parody. It's poking fun at the ridiculous paranoia on the part of Democrats.

that fucking slob will be dead long before 16 years. To djAdvocate - maybe. It's always hard to predict these things. I should probably be dead- but here I am. And don't even get me started on Keith Richards- who is the odds on favorite to be the last Rolling Stone standing-- and Mick Jagger- who just had heart surgery is the fucking vegan. To happyhoix - absolutely fucking hilarious, yes. Your team has been peddling the same delusion for so long it almost sounds like you actually believe it? I'm glad you brought up the old "both sides are locked in" theory. It's a favorite of the DC consulting class- no one played it better than Karl Rove and James Carville. But there's always been a problem with it (and I think Dems know this which is why they are so desperate to import voters and why no level of voter integrity or securing the elections will ever be acceptable to them)- and that problem is that people are actually persuadable. The needle can actually be moved. Trump is a game changer- he's persuading. Dems are not. Dems are scaring the shit out of people. They look like fucking escaped mental patients from bad 1970's and 80's horror movies. The only backlash building is the backlash against the coup. And it's gonna be YUGE. Dems are fucking toast. NeverTrump Republicans are next.

Importing voters....there's that myth again as if it's that rapid to get citizenship and subsequent voting rights. The clown pushing that is called Fearo.
What is rapid is the Repo-Cons implementation of programs such as crosscheck built on the Hi-Tech Jim Crow success in Florida that stole the election from Al Gore. As the Repo-Cons are anti-American and anti-Democracy this has not bothered any of them, especially the most rabid purveyor of untruths that Demos have performed millions of votes worth of shenanigans. That's just their smoke attempting to hide the numerous active methodologies they are employing to shrink eligible voting numbers. They know the writing is on the wall for the eventual dissipation of their party.

NeverTrump Republicans are next. Dude, you are aware that the latest poll has 54% of the voting public wanting Trump out of office, right?
The only thing persuading Trump is doing right now is convincing the public he's not fit to hold office.
Maybe shop around the internets a little more - venture past the drunk uncle dark hat websites you favor and see what some of the Republicans in congress are saying right now. Don't bother with the Dems, I know what you think of them, but check out what Romney and even Sondland, Trumps big donor and fellow real estate tycoon are saying about Trump this evening. Or General McRaven, the former commander of the US special Ops (and clearly not a liberal snowflake). Look at how many GOpers are fleeing the administration - Perry just announced he's out by the end of the year. Like rats abandoning a sinking ship, isn't it?
Going to be difficult to line up and shoot all the Dems and the Never Trumpers if Trumps gets bounced from the Oval Office, isn't it?

Oh yes, back again with Pajama Media and their superior brand of shit slinging.
Wonder why no legitimate news sources - even Fox news - will run that particular bit of video as 'proof' that Biden did anything wrong?
