"Trump invites Philippines' Duterte to Washington, White House says"
Which of course brings up the obvious wardrobe question:
What does someone wear when dining with a mass-murderer?
I'm honestly asking. Do you go full-on tux, or just a simple suit and tie? Your favorite Charles Manson jumpsuit? Bit of Kevlar, sure. I'm thinking a flak jacket might be in order.
Tag-a-log Trump, and Trump.
Heil Donald. Heil Rodrigo. Oh, and Heil crazy, short, fat North Korean dude who required zero skill and energy to draw the Donald into a Twitter pissing match that could cost us Planet Earth.
Sadly, that chubby little fuck is the smartest of the bunch.
"Trump has not been cunning but credulous; not an authoritarian but a pushover.
Ultimately, Trump is failing because he has little knowledge of the world and no guiding star of moral principle. The best of our leaders — think Abraham Lincoln — have been sure about the truth and uncertain about themselves. Trump is the opposite. His mind is uncluttered by creeds. He knows what he wants at any given moment, but it can bear little relation to the moment following. Who really believes that he would be sleepless if the wall were not built or if NAFTA ultimately survived? Who believes he would not be sleepless because of a nasty joke at his expense during a dinner party?
Without deep and thoughtful beliefs, persuasion is impossible. It is public reasoning that allows others to follow a leader’s footsteps in the snow. What has Trump done to rationally and respectfully persuade his critics?
During his campaign, Trump looked down on the weak; now it is revealed HE, is weak."
