"it could have been stopped with the right... whatever"



“President Obama was pure and simply outsmarted. They took Crimea during his term. That was not a good thing. It could have been stopped. It could have been stopped with the right… whatever. It could have been stopped, but President Obama was unable to stop it and it’s too bad.”

There you have it folks. It's all so clear now! If only Obama had done the right whatever, Putin would not have taken Crimea. Thank you for clarifying this for us mr prez.

Gawd how stupid is this guy...

Nukes.

Could have been stopped with the right nukes.

But even he knows that would be a chancy thing to say out loud... for the moment.

We need more “whatevers” . Time to do research and development on increasing the availability of “whatevers” in our arsenal.

I've heard youngsters talking about "whatevs"! Will anyone think of the children?

This cannot be allowed to stand.

from the republican sense of "presidential behaviour". tRump says dumb things, but President Obama wore a tan suit!! His wife wore a sleeveless dress, while the latest "first lady" has nude photos available for worldwide viewing. If any (D) candidate had a wife who was a former "escort", had 3 marriages under his belt. 4 bankruptcies and many, many lawsuits, the gop would have been screaming for their heads. Here they have the lowest of the low, tRump, and they are defending him daily. No matter how bad it gets, the gop stay in line. So much for "family values" Every time Leningrad Lindsey speaks out in favor of tRump, he demeans himself, yet does not seem to care how hypocritical he looks. What a "party" the gop is, no morals, no standards of conduct, no honor or sense of self respect. tRump has exposed them for what they truly are. Wave Russian cash in front of them, and they fold like one of tRump's Chinese suits. tRump was their best and brightest!! What a total shame. It was bad enough when his bad attitude and stupidity was seen in this country. Now the entire world knows what a sham of a president, not to mention human being, he is.

Trump is a compulsive liar who lies about anything and everything. His lie about Melania knowing Kim is a good illustration of his mental condition. Either he is so delusional that he doesn’t know the truth, or he has an illness that compels him to lie about even unimportant topics. Here’s a description of an illness called mythomania from Healthline:

“Pathological lying, also known as mythomania and pseudologia fantastica, is the chronic behavior of compulsive or habitual lying. Unlike telling the occasional white lie to avoid hurting someone's feelings or getting in trouble, a pathological liar seems to lie for no apparent reason.”

The US is being represented on the world stage by a pathological liar, and the rest of the world knows it and will take advantage. We’re sending a narcissistic child as our representative. We cannot expect anything good to happen. If this president were a Democrat, Fox News would be broadcasting about his illness 24 hours a day. Mainstream media buries comments about Trump’s mental condition in opinion pieces. News headlines mask the facts. Just this morning WaPo referred to Trump’s irrational behavior at the G7 as unorthodox. No, it was irrational and should be called out.

It's a baby's world view. So yeah pin the "loss" on the better President. When he tries to explain why its Obamas fault it came down to "with the right...whatever". I real genius this one.

It wasn't until a reporter asked a question that mentioned Crimea that Trump started saying Crimea every other word. He clearly didn't remember the name of the region until prompted.

that was happening on the other side of the world, and not up to the other countries that are actually on that continent. I guess the US are the World Police, and Obama was the World Police Chief? Was Obama the only on who could control Putin? What fucking demented imbecile.

But putin should be welcomed back to the G7? I wonder if this is trump's attempt to pay the last election or the upcoming election.
