US Trump - favourite facepalm moments

But this article shows the truth about Trump's nonsence more clearly. And it's very very frightening. The worst part is about his "contribution" to climate change. This is so unfair that he rules such a big and powerful country. If he was a president of some tiny island country, like, i dunno, Vanuatu (i don't want to offend the residents of Vanuatu),- then no one would have noticed his impact on everything... But he's the president of one of the largest countries in the world. He also is blear-eyed enough to threaten the world's largest country (you know which one). Btw, today Putin said that the government of the US is getting ready to attack "enemies" from space. Humankind will demolish itself, blin.🤦‍♀️
I have been watching the impeachment hearings on TV all day, so I haven't seen the details of this behavior, but I am not surprised. It's so demoralizing having this person as president. I can only hope he will be booted out at election time and then thrown in jail for his many crimes.

From this article, about increasing climate change and pollution due to his presidency:
"Further, pollution levels in the United States have increased during Trump's tenure, due in part to Trump administration refusals to enforce violations of the Clean Air Act. Those elevated pollution levels have caused nearly 10,000 premature deaths."
I'm so sorry that you have to feel what you feel.:hug:

Thanks, Val. He seems to be on a mission to grab whatever he can, the rest of the country be damned. It was apparent when he left so many important government post unfilled and with the appointments he made, like the education secretary and the first EPA chief. He has no interest in protecting the environment or supporting public education.
 
Seems this thread has been a bit neglected recently.

So, to keep this thread updated, let us take a moment together to look at the picture of a black woman, House clerk Cheryl L. Johnson, flanked by the impeachment managers, delivering the articles of impeachment for president Donald J. Trump, to the US senate.

THIS WAS ON A FRIEND’S PAGE: An anguished question from a Trump supporter: ‘Why do liberals think Trump supporters are stupid?’
THE SERIOUS ANSWER: Here’s what the majority of anti-Trump voters honestly feel about Trump supporters en masse:

That when you saw a man who had owned a fraudulent University, intent on scamming poor people, you thought "Fine." (https://www.usatoday.com/…/trump-university-sett…/502387002/)
That when you saw a man who had made it his business practice to stiff his creditors, you said, "Okay." (https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-hotel-paid-millions-in-…)

That when you heard him proudly brag about his own history of sexual abuse, you said, "No problem." (https://abcnews.go.com/…/list-trumps-accusers-allega…/story…)

That when he made up stories about seeing Muslim-Americans in the thousands cheering the destruction of the World Trade Center, you said, "Not an issue." (https://www.washingtonpost.com/…/donald-trumps-outrageous-…/)

That when you saw him brag that he could shoot a man on Fifth Avenue and you wouldn't care, you exclaimed, "He sure knows me." (https://www.usatoday.com/…/president-donald-tru…/4073405002/)

That when you heard him relating a story of an elderly guest of his country club, an 80-year old man, who fell off a stage and hit his head, to Trump replied: “‘Oh my God, that’s disgusting,’ and I turned away. I couldn’t—you know, he was right in front of me, and I turned away. I didn’t want to touch him. He was bleeding all over the place. And I felt terrible, because it was a beautiful white marble floor, and now it had changed color. Became very red.” You said, "That's cool!" (https://www.gq.com/story/donald-trump-howard-stern-story)

That when you saw him mock the disabled, you thought it was the funniest thing you ever saw. (https://www.nbcnews.com/…/donald-trump-criticized-after-he-…)

That when you heard him brag that he doesn't read books, you said, "Well, who has time?" (https://www.theatlantic.com/…/americas-first-post-t…/549794/)

That when the Central Park Five were compensated as innocent men convicted of a crime they didn't commit, and he angrily said that they should still be in prison, you said, "That makes sense." (https://www.usatoday.com/…/what-trump-has-said-…/1501321001/)
That when you heard him tell his supporters to beat up protesters and that he would hire attorneys, you thought, "Yes!" (https://www.latimes.com/…/la-na-trump-campaign-protests-201…)

That when you heard him tell one rally to confiscate a man's coat before throwing him out into the freezing cold, you said, "What a great guy!" (https://www.independent.co.uk/…/donald-trump-orders-protest…)

That you have watched the parade of neo-Nazis and white supremacists with whom he curries favor, while refusing to condemn outright Nazis, and you have said, "Thumbs up!" (https://www.theatlantic.com/…/why-cant-trump-just-c…/567320/)

That you hear him unable to talk to foreign dignitaries without insulting their countries and demanding that they praise his electoral win, you said, "That's the way I want my President to be." (https://www.huffpost.com/…/trump-insult-foreign-countries-l…)

That you have watched him remove expertise from all layers of government in favor of people who make money off of eliminating protections in the industries they're supposed to be regulating and you have said, "What a genius!" (https://www.politico.com/…/138-trump-policy-changes-2017-00…)
That you have heard him continue to profit from his businesses, in part by leveraging his position as President, to the point of overcharging the Secret Service for space in the properties he owns, and you have said, "That's smart!" (https://www.usnews.com/…/how-is-donald-trump-profiting-from…)

That you have heard him say that it was difficult to help Puerto Rico because it was in the middle of water and you have said, "That makes sense." (https://www.washingtonpost.com/…/the-very-big-ocean-betwee…/)

That you have seen him start fights with every country from Canada to New Zealand while praising Russia and quote, "falling in love" with the dictator of North Korea, and you have said, "That's statesmanship!" (https://www.cnn.com/…/donald-trump-dictators-kim…/index.html)
That Trump separated children from their families and put them in cages, managed to lose track of 1500 kids, has opened a tent city incarceration camp in the desert in Texas - he explains that they’re just “animals” - and you say, “Well, OK then.” (https://www.nbcnews.com/…/more-5-400-children-split-border-…)

That you have witnessed all the thousand and one other manifestations of corruption and low moral character and outright animalistic rudeness and contempt for you, the working American voter, and you still show up grinning and wearing your MAGA hats and threatening to beat up anybody who says otherwise. (https://www.americanprogress.org/…/confronting-cost-trumps…/)

What you don't get, Trump supporters, is that our succumbing to frustration and shaking our heads, thinking of you as stupid, may very well be wrong and unhelpful, but it's also...hear me...charitable.

Because if you're NOT stupid, we must turn to other explanations, and most of them are less flattering.

I got a *facepalm* today, when our local NTV news said, that Trump offered Russia help in neutralization of consequences of that diesel fuel disaster in Norilsk. I wonder, doesn't he have some "homework" to do before he gives away resources like money and various specialists? Doesn't he want to take care of his country first? Thank god, Putin refused, having said that our resources are enough for neutralization of the whole diesel fuel pollution. ...Sometimes it feels like Trump cares only about himself and future elections.🤦‍♀️ It's obvious that he's trying to make a good impression on other countries' leaders, but he has forgot that the first people he needs to make a good impression on, are his citizens. :sigh:
 
It's an old video (of 2018 meeting in Helsinki). This fragment is from a "recital" of Putin and Trump. During his speech, Putin says the word "facts" two times. But in russian, "fact" sounds like "f***ed".😁 So Trump got really worried.😂 His expression is priceless.
