Oh, put on your glasses.  The President's supporters are already using the photo in post #1 for everything from the WH Christmas card to Merkel's invitation to Trump's inauguration on Jan 20, 2021.

Off to Auschwitz for Trump.

Merkel knows where all the Stasi camps were:

Where have we seen this look before?   :pondering:



Oh, yeah ....



You are trying to claim that Trump was giving dirty looks to Hillary at his wedding that he invited her to?

I see a spoilt little child getting his back up because he’s been called on the carpet by people whom he believes should be fawning in him.


Guess you aren't used to see a US President standing up for the American People.

There was already a trade war, however we had surrendered allowing the EU and others to impose
tariffs on us while getting a free ride in return. China just dropped their Tariffs on us autos did you notice.

Screw the NWO, Trump is doing a great job. Go whine with Bill Kristol and George Will.

If this is what I had been trying to do @RoosGirl I assure you I wouldn't have posted a picture of the President sneering at Hillary at the Al Smith Dinner in Oct. 2016.

I'm not worried.  I just thought the photo was hillarious. 

Seems to me it's the Trump fans who are worried.

Wouldn't characterize myself as a Trump fan now but I'm becoming one.

Actually, I’ve seen Reagan, so I know what it looks like when a US president stands up for the American people, and this was no such thing.  This was a petulant, spoilt little child who still believes in unicorns and fairies getting his dander up because the others in the room aren’t fawning all over him. 

It’s too bad you have no clue what real backbone looks like.

I'd like to know what Abe is thinking - in English, of course.  He seems to be the most interesting in this photo.

I don't read anything into Merkel here.  It seems to me they are wrestling with language in the document.

Ah, my bad.  I was confused because he wore the same thing to both events.

Probably true about the edits.  But what I found interesting is the photo Merkel released showed her in what she assumed would look like a power position over the POTUS.  The photo with the editing doesn't serve that purpose.

Honestly, I think G7 and the NK summit are meant to be just opportunities for Trump to stomp around, acting tough, and thus, impress his fans.   Of course, as with any reality tv show, there has to be controversy and cat fights.   It's all entertainment. 

Trouble is, it looks like Trudeau, Merkel and the rest didn't get the script or they forgot their lines.  They are supposed to be afraid of big, tough Trump.  They aren't. 

I can't wait for the next episode of the reality tv presidency in Singapore.  I suppose though that Kim also needs to impress the people back home.  So he too will act tough and pout when he doesn't get his way.  Actually, I'm hoping the two of them engage in the traditional reality tv fistfight in the hotel swimming pool.

Apparently deputy secretary Nishimura didn't like the joke.

Hmmm... I thought Nishimura was giving the stink eye to the euroweenies.

Abe appears to appreciate the humor.   ^-^

Abe had slipped Trump a prank brief about the Japanese banking crisis.


Following last week's news that Origami Bank had folded, we are hearing that Sumo Bank has gone belly up and Bonsai Bank plans to cut back some of its branches.

Karaoke Bank is up for sale and is going for a song.

Meanwhile, shares in Kamikaze Bank have nose-dived and 500 back-office staff at Karate Bank got the chop.

Analysts report that there is something fishy going on at Sushi Bank and staff there fear they may get a raw deal.

And nearly all the others are working from a document.  So, there's that.

I don't say it's a good or bad thing, just a thing and was surprised no one else commented on it.
