The Mother of All Pettiness
Just when you thought it would not be possible to lower your opinion of Donald Trump …
From the Buenos Aires Herald we learn that the Argentine President is visiting the White House.
The Mauricio Macri administration reverted a decision to award former US president Jimmy Carter the Order of the Liberator General San Martín — the maximum distinction that the country can give to a foreign personality — under the pressure from US President Donald Trump’s administration, CNN Español reported this week.
The official tribute, which had already been approved by the foreign ministry and was published in the Official Gazette, was cancelled after receiving a specific request by the US government, which suggested it would be better to delay it. Carter was to be given the award for his work in promoting human rights during Argentina’s last military dictatorship.
That’s okay. Jimmy was probably hammering nails or laying tile that day.
Thanks to Jim for the heads up.
From Ms.JuanitaJean Herownself’s link: “Like Trump, the Argentine president was born into wealth and the New York Times reports that they’ve long had a “personal relationship” via business dealings.
Macri met with Trump in the White House on Thursday and it seems likely that Carter’s award was spiked so that the spotlight remained on Trump during his visit.”
What special species of cockroach is Donnie, that he craves light? Also, it takes a special kind of st00pid to highlight one of his many conflicts of interest, this time Argentina. But indubitably every bit as conflicted as his ‘business’ relations with Turkey. Please have the entire Drumpf crime family visit Dump Tower Manila during a typhoon or earthquake; preferably both. Don’t forget to take Jughead, he’s “family,” too.
1Are you freaking kidding me?!!!
45 doesn’t want to be in the shade of Saint Jimmy, so he torches *another country’s* official actions?!!!
I don’t understand because *I* can’t understand that level of meanness…
2Cover your eyes, Momma.
Whatta chicken shit.
3You are correct President Carter could probably care less, too busy framing out a house!
4May SCROTUS Donnie J rest in peace, the sooner the better. I would truly enjoy relieving myself upon the monument of crass stupidity.
5Jimmy Carter’s award is that he’s Jimmy Carter.
Trump’s punishment is that he’s Trump.
6I have always found it seriously revealing that my good “christian” friends have always hated and demeaned Pres Carter – though probably the most pious and authentically Christian president in my lifetime (so, since Truman) – while lionizing and defending so-called president trump, a derelict phony who can barely manage to mouth christian platitudes.
7“By their fruits shall you know them” indeed.
Yes, Gazbo, you could not have expressed it better. I “used to be” a Christian. Now Christianity is nothing but one embarrassment after another. I’d be ashamed to be identified with it.
8Gazbo, phonies always hate the genuine article.
Our political Christians use the name, but they have changed the definition. They worship Mammon and celebrate hate.
9Cole – I might enjoy that too, except I hate to wait in line.
10Jimmy Carter recently severed his ties to the Southern Baptist Convention because of their view that women should be “subservient.” Carter has more nobility and Christianity in his little finger than the SBC and Donnie could amass in several lifetimes of striving.
But Donnie using the US government to persuade a foreign country to rescind a human rights award to an American is a new low even for him. What a vile scumbag he is.

Well said.
121) He has no right to even speak Jimmy Carter’s name, 2) Who told him about this award and pushed this because you know damn well he knew NOTHING about it?
13What LynnN said.
14Jimmy needs nothing but his own achievements.
Shouldn’t the title be “The Father of All Pettiness” ? An action like that is definetly a guy thing.
15Cole & Pretzelogic,
16I would gladly stand in a mile-long line sipping from a two-gallon backpack of iced tea for the chance to whizz down any future DJT ‘monument’. I’d even pay for a micturition admission charge, a peefee.
Hell, if everybody brought a wellfed dog along, the possibilities would be truly ‘monumental’ in scope (and height of the stinking pile).
LynnN @10:53:utter perfection. Beautiful.
