Trump Dum Dum
I admit it. I could not watch all 41 minutes of the Trump speech to the UN.
Mainly, I couldn’t follow it.
First, when the world came together to settle the Iran nuclear deal, Trump says that was a huge mistake. Then in the next breath, he demands the world come together against North Korea. See? that doesn’t make sense.
And Rocket Man? Kim Jong Un isn’t a man; he’s a little boy. And the lyrics to that song are very sympathetic, but then of course, Trump wouldn’t understand sympathetic. And why would you poke a stick at Kim? And why would you threaten to destroy North Korea?
If you watched the whole thing, you are a better person than I am.
Had the UN thing on the big TV here at the office for a few minutes then we switched to something sane. Have to hand it to the attendees. They did not get up and walk out on him. They toughed it out. However, I do know that they have places to go in that building where they can relax, imbibe, gnosh and just laugh their asses off!
1Didn’t watch any of it today. Still busy bathing my ears and eyeballs from viewing less than 30 seconds yesterday. Don’t even care to imagine what Ambassador Haley thought yesterday while Donnie was shooting her those rictus leers.
2I was born during the Truman administration and remember Ike as a child. In all those years, I cannot fathom a more dangerous, completely uninformed imbecile in government. We are living in truly dangerous times.
3dbtexas, you’ve got that right! Like Maggie, we could only take so much and then switched the channel. The specter of the Toddler in Chief egging on the world’s other oft cited toddler by hurling uninformed insults at the “Rocket-man” while failing to understand that said Rocket-man has the capacity to transform into Nuclear-Boy at the press of a button was too horrifying to watch.
4It was the first time in my life I ever, on reading the words, “The President will address the U.N. tomorrow” thought, “Oh, God, NO!”
5dbtexas and Opinionated Hussy, your thoughts combined are mine, exactly.
6Surprised he didn’t take off his shoe and bang on the podium a la Khrushchev.
7I also understand Trump tried to make a joke about socialism and Venezuela that didn’t go over very well. rawstory.com/2017/09/watch-trump-faces-awkward-silence-at-un-as-his-socialism-joke-bombs/
Mr. Trump it has become apparent over the years that stand up comedy is not your forte. Don’t quite your day job, whatever that is.
8What the audience was thinking, perhaps whispering after the speech:
“lock him up, padded cell, lock him up…”
9North Korea did walk out of the assembly but that was before the rant about Rocket Man. They decided they just didn’t need to hear word one from the Barking Yam.
10When I heard about the speech I wondered if they were going to translate it into English, but there’s no way to translate crazy. I thought Reagan was an ignorant figurehead. Then Baby Bush was worse. And now this…. He isn’t even a figurehead; he’s a loose cannon firing in all directions.
Three things, I think, will be his biggest legacy: environmental destruction, loss of international respect and influence, and the damned ugliness and bigotry he’s spread across this country. I know that last one was already here, but he’s given it permission to come out of the closet and march in the streets, intimidating and frightening and killing people.
11I tolerate his voice for about 3 seconds. Mute button or channel changed are my only option.
12Didn’t watch or listen but have seen a few of the statements he made posted. Does he not see the irony of protesting NK’s dismal human rights and then stating we’re going to destroy NK. Isn’t that the ultimate human rights violation? Why do I even ask if he sees irony.
13watched a little, then had to turn it off. Read some of what he said. There is something wrong with someone who stands before the UN ( peace keeping organization) and swears to total destroy North Korea. Because we can! All I heard was a bully, and by the way I do not think calling Kim Jong Un “rocket man ” could be really seen as an insult. Maybe that is just me.
14Messy and John Kelly sat through the whole bloated speech. Their reactions: Messy did manage to keep her jaw from dropping to the floor, but couldn’t quite manage not leaving her mouth agape. Kelly? He may need an ice pack after that face palm.

15Why isnt the Siege of the United States (2017-2021) included on the Wiki page of List of Sieges?
16Lasted until I realized he can’t read. Precident [sic] of the US cannot read?!?!?!?!?!
17That moron is going to start WWIII, standing up there and threatening to destroy North Korea. He’s playing right into Kim’s deep seated paranoia. God help us all. He can’t go soon enough!
18Come on Mueller, human survival depends on it.
I just found out that today is Talk Like A Pirate Day. Taken in that context, I think Trump’s speech at the UN was his way of celebrating the occasion:
“The United States has great strength and patience, but… we will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea.”
“Rocket Man is on a suicide mission for himself and for his regime. The United States is ready, willing and able…”
“Last month, I announced a new strategy for victory…”
“Major portions of the world are in conflict and some, in fact, are going to hell.”
I only wish he had remembered to bring a parrot to sit on his shoulder.
19Micr, maybe because a siege would be more merciful? Whereas the baby toddler in the Offal Orifice is more like what one reads about serial killers during their fledgling days of development. We’re the insects and Baby Huge is sticking pins in our wings or ripping them off depending on either his mood or the state of his diaper.
203 minutes into Trump’s speech I realized his intended audience was Hannity and Bannon. 5 minutes in I realized that 4 hours from now both those individuals were going to be visiting a hospital….
Mama’s computer is down so JJ won’t have to explain this.
21Did not watch. On vacation with extended family (no little kids – wheee) It is a common practice for me to wake up and head for the TV to see “what has the idiot done this time?”. At 73 (today) I have never had to even think that about a president. Here the tv offers the weather channel and about 14 minutes of current events followed by Joel Osteen (Southern Virginia). From the content of the responses, I am glad I didn’t watch. Even pot won’t soften that impact.
Oh, there’s also Fox TV. Again, not even pot …
22I haven’t listed to ANY speech the syphilitic carnival barker has given since Nov. 8th. Just. Can’t. Do. It.
I get more than enough from the post-speech clips on the news. Today’s were just cringe-worthy. Yhe German army from 1939 to 1945 kept asking themselves one question: “Why does the rest of the world not like us?” Now we know what that felt like.
Sometimes there isn’t enough whiskey in the world. Truly.
23Parachute him into North Korea for a cage match with Kim Jong Un and promise him all revenues from pay TV.
24Mike, Orange Whore has no clue who Kruschev is.
25All those sharpshooters and snipers out there who forgot their oath…
26After watching this little “drama” unfold – I honestly believe Kim is playing with the Great Orange Hoax – kind of like a cat playing with a mouse. He is getting a thrill out of poking this immature, illegitimate, addled creature.
