OMG I don't think I've EVER enjoyed watching a presser as much as THIS ONE

[Maru Kitteh]

Trudau is OWNING Trump! In every possible way.

First, Trump stumbled and mumbled through his prepared remarks like a buffoon. Now Trudau is flowing from flawless French to English and back again with ease; speaking with grace and confidence . . .

The contrast could NOT be clearer.

[panader0]

1. I love it he's speaking French

I'll bet that irritates the hell of Trump, who probably thinks he's saying
something bad about him since he doesn't use the translator.

[Maru Kitteh]

8. I noticed he looked shocked and tried to wedge his ear piece back in

He knows he looks like a f'n MORON.

[Cracklin Charlie]

17. Afraid PM McDreamy will diss him in French?

Do it, Dreamy!

[Maru Kitteh]

26. I'll bet he saw the vids on Twitter where he was nodding like a dolt when Abe

was here.

[sarah FAILIN]

44. I pointed this dreaminess out to my daughter...

Then I showed her Mexico's ' Pres. We decided it must eat Trump up to be surrounded by so much hotness but look like he does, lol!

[Maru Kitteh]

53. Meanwhile in the US we get to feast our eyes on these

birthing hips.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

55. It's the vain thin hair that speaks volumes to me. . . . nt

[Maru Kitteh]

58. Complete with the evident scalp surgery scars.

And the fugly spray tan.

[jmbar2]

145. So did he have the chunk from the back of his head transplanted to the front left side?

I've always been fascinated by what they did to him. First time I've seen the big circular patch at the back of his head. Fugly.

[Maru Kitteh]

146. I am SO not an expert on this, but my understanding

If you draw a line between the top of your ears (generally) from one to the other, the region of hair below that is generally more dense. They grab a section of that and stretch it over a growing bald spot, and pull everything together to try to make it look like a natural head of hair.

My understanding. I'm way open to correction from those with more knowledge.

[Marie Marie]

72. Birthing Hips, Bad hair, Bubble Butt and Thunder Thighs.

Can you imagine him dating a woman with those same descriptions, even if she was otherwise a wonderful person? And he is NOT "otherwise wonderful". Everything about him is just gross.

[malaise]

117. and yet he thinks he can rate women

which is why I will continue to ridicule his appearance - he needs to look in the mirror and see the truth - he is gross but he lives on junk food

[Maru Kitteh]

119. Trump calls women fat;

[malaise]

120. LOL

[Maru Kitteh]

121. Happy to bring you a smile, dear malaise

[malaise]

122. I see Justin v Bustin' brought one for you earlier

hehehehhe

[Maru Kitteh]

123. Indeed! :-)

[47of74]

80. That suit looks a size too small.

[Maru Kitteh]

85. None of his clothes fit well. There's at least one photo showing he tacs his tie

together with tape ( ), his undershirts don't cover his girth and show through his dress shirts, his dress shirts look like cheap, cotton Kmart sale rack finds or clothes hampers with a collar and two sleeves sown on the sides.

The shiny jackets and pants are a mess I don't even have time for. So much bad.

[ailsagirl]

105. So disgusting

This thing doesn't represent us

[StarryNite]

128. Don't forget the bobby pins! n/t

[simguy225]

138. His suits are cheap shit

As a man of size, who isn't rich, a competent tailor can hide a multitude of sins

[sheshe2]

110. Lol

So do his hands.

[GETTINGTIRED]

101. birthing hips

i'm laughin'

[Auntie Bush]

115. Everyone deserves a star. Just for being here.

[Auntie Bush]

114. He has a rump like an overweight woman...sorry woman

And lookie there.. no hair...big bald spot behind ear. Must have used those hairs to ad to front whicjh was woven into front. What a fares this man is. I RATE him a ZERO.

[Maru Kitteh]

118. That's a scar from one of his scalp surgeries. When he raped his first wife

he grabbed her by that same spot on her head and pulled on her hair. It's on record in their divorce proceedings.

[Dorian Gray]

127. UGH UGH UGH UGH UGH UGH UGH

SUCH HATE FOR THIS MAN.

(Sorry, being reminded of the vile things he has done to women triggers the hate in me.)

[Maru Kitteh]

144. The fact that this country elected a rapist & serial sexual assulter to the presidency

has much to do with why I am seriously considering leaving.

[we can do it]

116. Birthing hips!!!!

[IamFortunesFool]

129. Looks like Trump is packing heat on his left hip...

The notorious phallic compensation bulge...

[LiberalFighter]

135. That explains why he wears the clothes he does.

Especially the long coats.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

149. Are those elevator shoes? NT

[Maru Kitteh]

150. I read somewhere he had been documented at 6'2" but claimed to be 6'3" on his quack

'so-called medical disclosure' so between that and the natural loss of height that comes with age, it's entirely likely.

[Cracklin Charlie]

69. His COLD ass can't help but be surrounded by hotness.

Anybody's hotter than him.

Bless it's heart!

[maddiemom]

140. Yes! I told MY daughter the exact same thing!

[lillypaddle]

77. He was subdued

did someone slip him a valium?

ETA: can't believe I misspelled "valium."

[3catwoman3]

98. He looks like one...

...because he IS one.

[Turbineguy]

10. Cara Mia!

[calimary]

39. Me, too! Don't get to hear French spoken much here in SoCal.

It sounds like music.

And YEAH I bet that irritates the hell out of trump! I bet he only speaks English.

[madamesilverspurs]

48. I bet he only speaks English

not too goodly...

[trc]

64. This comment almost killed me...

was eating a samich and damn near choked trying not to laugh, looked like a salami and ham spit take 😁

[Turn CO Blue]

91. Dead. n/t

[bluescribbler]

97. rofl

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

113. Trump speaks two languages -- English (barely) and gibberish (well)

[OneBlueDotBama]

51. PM Trudeau speaks both Canada's official languages...

English & French, trump speaks neither.

[annabanana]

95. HA! . . . .n/t

[iluvtennis]

100. Agree. LMBO

[ailsagirl]

104. LOL

[phylny]

78. There was a time in this country when being bilingual, or polyglot even,

was seen as an asset and a sign of a great education. Most of our founding fathers spoke more than one language. George Washington did not - because his family did not pay much, if anything (don't remember the specifics) for his education.

Hablo español lo suficiente como para entender y ser entendido, pero no soy fluido. Pero sigo intentándolo.

[panader0]

82. Quando hablas en Espanol hagame un favor y habla mas despacio.

[phylny]

86. Lo digo con frecuencia.

[Hekate]

96. An educated man was expected to be somewhat proficient in the Classics, in Latin & Greek...

French was the language of courts across both Western and Eastern Europe and thus highly desirable for both men and women of the upper classes. There was some discussion among the Founding Fathers about whether German should be the new US's common tongue, because of the large numbers of citizens whose first language was German.

Americans have grown lazy and insular about learning foreign languages. We've gotten away with it for a century because of our immense land mass with a common tongue, whereas in Europe and much of the rest of the world, learning at least one other language is a necessity. We've also gotten away with it because English became the near-universal language of commerce -- but being monolingual is nothing to be proud of (and believe me, I'm not).

[Ken Burch]

147. Trump probably thought Justin was speaking Muslim.

n/t.

[OldHippieChick]

2. This could be the last one of these they want televised. Damn

that freedom of the press thingy!!

[Maru Kitteh]

13. OMG. Trump is talking about his "size" again!

He honestly sounds mentally challenged. "We won by a tremendous margin, and I knew we would."

[secondwind]

36. I think he mentioned "the electoral college vote" also...

[jmowreader]

75. What in holy fuck?

The meet-and-greet at a meeting of a foreign leader and he's still talking about the election?

Here's an interesting article on a website for healthcare professionals where some psychiatrists and psychologists, evenly divided between Trump and Hillary voters, frist Trump:

https://www.statnews.com/2017/01/30/trump-mental-health/

Interestingly...

Without exception, the mental health professionals said that would-be diagnosticians, including pundits and political foes, are misguided in asserting that Trump has a mental disorder — for one fundamental reason. According to decades-old criteria established by the American Psychiatric Association, a diagnosis of mental illness requires that someone’s behavior, emotions, or beliefs have two key attributes: They cause the individual to suffer clinically significant distress or impairment.

I'm going to argue that. Trump fixates on perceived slights to the point of extreme distress. Take the case of Graydon Carter - the man who first hung the title "short-fingered vulgarian" around Trump's fifty-inch neck in the 1980s. To this day, Trump mails him photos of himself. On each, the fingers are circled and written beside them is always, "see, not so short!" Someone who isn't in distress wouldn't do that as often as Trump does...he might do it once just to fuck with the guy, but over a period of decades? As they say in the South, "that boy ain't right, bless his heart."

[VOX]

108. Yes he did: "We won by a very, very large Electoral College vote"

And that's verbatim.

[sheshe2]

111. Aaaah

the royal, We.

[VOX]

136. Precisely. In this case, I think the crown's too small...

for that massively swollen head!

[sheshe2]

137. It is possible that it would fit on a hand.

We all know how small they are.

[dixiegrrrrl]

141. Reminds me of the old guy whose last accomplishment was at age 18 in high school

and then talks about it for 40 years.

[get the red out]

3. Trump and his comb-over

vs PM Hottie! LOL!

[Fritz Walter]

73. We demanded "transparency"

Not quite what most of us had in mind...

[crappyjazz]

4. We are lucky to have him.

Truly. He's not perfect, but right now, he looks pretty close to it in comparison.

Sidebar: he mentioned the snow storm here; not as bad in Ontario as it is hitting the maritimes right now, but I was thoroughly enjoying all the snow yesterday and today because it reminded me that I'm here, in Canada and I couldn't be more grateful.

[Maru Kitteh]

22. Serious question for you

How difficult do you think it would be for a financially solvent couple, one a registered nurse with certifications and the other a highly skilled HVAC engineer to emigrate to Canada, with an end goal of citizenship?

[guillaumeb]

30. Not difficult at all.

It is necessary to be competent in English or French, and to be self-supporting. Qualified professionals would have little problem finding a job in most places.

[crappyjazz]

34. Start with this link

http://www.cic.gc.ca/ctc-vac/getting-started.asp

Quick questions to determine if you would be eligible. I think yes based on your financial status, education, etc.

[Blue_true]

43. Gee, don't leave us. Stay here, brighter days will come

In 4 years, if Trump doesn't get us nuked first. My guess is that Trump will be dead meat for any Democrat that runs even a halfway competent campaign in 2020, even his most knuckleheaded defenders now won't be able to defend him then.

[Maru Kitteh]

65. We're heartened by the protests, but still very much weighing our options

There are so many things to consider.

[VOX]

109. With those needed jobs, I'd say "learn French ASAP"...

I'm not an attorney, but drawing from the cursory info of which I'm aware, I'm pretty sure that you'd both be considered valued citizens

If you took some French language immersion courses, you'd really be an asset!

Good luck.

[Maru Kitteh]

124. That's a good idea VOX.

[Pachamama]

130. French needed only if you are planning to move to Quebec...

As an American with family in Germany, Denmark and owning property in each of those countries and I speak German and Danish, but I also own property in British Columbia, i can assure you that I have never needed French, even though I took 3 years in school and can get by with basics. And none of my friends and neighbors in BC know much French and I probably know more.

[VOX]

134. Per: CIC News, the French language ability appears to be significant...

CIC NEWS
CANADA IMMIGRATION NEWSLETTER
August 02,2016
Https://www.google.com/amp/www.cicnews.com/2016/08/provincial-premiers-french-speakers-immigrate-canada-088419.html/amp?client=safari

Provincial and territorial Premiers also call for more powers over selection of newcomers

The leaders of Canada’s provinces and territories have agreed to reach a target of 5% francophone (i.e. French-speaking) immigration outside the province of Quebec. This target follows the objective of the federal government that, by 2018, francophone newcomers will represent at least 4% of all economic immigrants who settle outside Quebec.

The provincial and territorial Premiers issued a joint statement on the matter at a Council of the Federation held in Whitehorse, Yukon in late July. This marks the first time that the 13 Premiers have together endorsed an immigration target for francophones looking to settle in Canada.

Settlement outside Quebec

With its rich culture and pride in its linguistic heritage, Quebec is often the first place francophones look to when starting out on their Canadian immigration objectives. The rest of Canada, however, also has a sizeable francophone population of over one million individuals, representing around 4% of the total population outside Quebec. The government of Canada, as well as the Premiers, want to maintain and build on these vibrant communities.
<SNIP>
For those who seek employment in Canada, it seems like their government is interested in hiring French-speaking candidates.

[George II]

35. He's TEN times better than the man he replaced.

[crappyjazz]

45. ITA

.

[Amaryllis]

38. Can we have Trudeau be our leader as well as yours? She said wistfully...

[apcalc]

5. Trump is thinking...

This guy is a 'furriner' ...an immigrant...hey , half the time he doesn't even speak english....

[putitinD]

6. Trump made silly faces the entire time Trudeau spoke. Like an inmature 7th grader.

[bdamomma]

21. because we all know

how 45 likes to be in the limelight.

[Maru Kitteh]

49. He was being UPSTAGED, BIGLY. And he knew it, lol.

I'm so glad to see him, visibly, realize how far in over his head and out of his league he is.

[Pachamama]

131. Hopefully Ivana wasn't staring too much and didn't tell her Dad how HOT Trudeau is....

[Fritz Walter]

71. He'll announce another border wall in 3... 2... 1...

...and the only Loonies involved in paying for it will be his Deplorable base!

[sheshe2]

112. Make that...

Slimeligtht and I am with you all the way.

[True Dough]

32. I can understand Trump not smiling and nodding in agreement

when the visiting head of state is speaking a foreign language. After all, when he cannot grasp what the person is saying, he doesn't want to be seen as expressing agreement.

However, when the guest dignitary is speaking English, then Drumpf should absolutely be acknowledging their words and showing some sort of solidarity. You're right, he stands there looking bored and uncomfortable, like, "I've just said the important stuff and now I'm done talking so can we just get this over with?"

[LittleGirl]

66. Yes, took the words right out of my keyboard! eom

[True Dough]

70. Sorry about that

but there are surely plenty of other words in your keyboard. Keep 'em coming!

[LittleGirl]

81. lol, eom

[MoonRiver]

7. It's SAD.

[Leghorn21]

18. He's fatigued de maxo...love how he ends reading a sentence, then realizes it's NOT the end

of the sentence, changes inflection to fix it...yep, SAD!

[MoonRiver]

23. and also...

[lpbk2713]

9. I had to tune in just to see this BSer at work.

Trudeau is such a contrast to this asshole.

11. Jesus Christ, he mentioned his electoral win again!

[Maru Kitteh]

14. A lot of people say I have tremendous size, believe me.

My electoral win was tremendous.

[MoonRiver]

27. JUST LIKE MY SCROTUM!

Sorry, couldn't resist!

[Maru Kitteh]

28. HAY I'm tryin' ta eat LUNCH ovah here!

[MoonRiver]

31. Sorry about that!

[Fritz Walter]

84. OK, since we've already gone down that rabbit hole

In the German late-nite TV introduction of that country's EverySecondCounts.eu contribution, the host, Jan Böhmermann, was trying to find the right description for Drumpf's double-chin. He actually used the English words "ball sack."
Laughed so hard, I thought I'd die!

Which makes the nickname #SCROTUS all the more fitting.

Hey, if Drumpf insists on becoming the laughingstock of the world, we might as well laugh along; it beats the alternative!

[MoonRiver]

93. OMG!

[cp]

142. This is great!

Watching all the videos now. Humor wins!

[randome]

12. Dolt45 says they have already turned away hardened criminals. Now is the time to demand evidence!

[hr][font color="blue"][center]"There is a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in."
Leonard Cohen, Anthem (1992)[/center][/font][hr]

15. "We're getting such praise for our stance." Really, Dolt45? PROVE IT!

Leonard Cohen, Anthem (1992)[/center][/font][hr]

[spanone]

33. I heard that and wondered 'who the fuck?' then i realized who said it.

[randome]

42. By 'such praise', he means Bannon patted his fat head and said, "Good job, little one."

16. Does anyone know what news outlets got called on by Trump?

[SunSeeker]

139. One was from Daily Caller -- both were handpicked to ask softballs of Trump. nt

[randome]

19. Trudeau expertly avoided insulting America.

Said the two countries have different approaches.

Leonard Cohen, Anthem (1992)[/center][/font][hr]

[Stellar]

20. LOL, don't you love it?

[dem4decades]

24. I believe Trump called on The Daily Caller, Tucker Carlson's site.

[qanda]

25. Does anyone know the names of the reporters Trump called on?

Or who they work for?

[Raven123]

29. Bilingual versus Half lingual

[lunatica]

37. Versus lingually challenged.

[Mr.Bill]

52. He fits Dick Cavett's description of Sarah Palin.

Someone who appears to not have a first language.

[lunatica]

56. That's perfect!

[MontanaMama]

47. Hey don't be knocking

Dolt45's 77 word vocabulary! It's tremendous.

SAD.

[Tanuki]

57. Not fair....Philip Roth says Trump is fluent in Jerkish! eom

[brooklynite]

40. We need a WALL...

These Canadians speak English and they look just like us. How can we tell?

41. We're all Canadians Now!

Mahalo, Maru!

PM McDreamy: totally classy guy.

[NotThisTime]

50. please tell me there's video!

[spinbaby]

54. I caught part of it on the radio...

....while I was driving. Trump produces word salad instead of answers to questions.

[pansypoo53219]

59. butbutbut CEEANAN said turnip would pwn trudeau.

[Maru Kitteh]

61. Who and when?

Can't imagine anyone other than his planted sycophants saying such a thing, which is different than claiming a whole network said it.

[putitinD]

87. CNN has been much more progressive lately, I switched from MSNBCFOX.

not going back!

[world wide wally]

60. I don't even care if he's Canadian.

At least he's not Russian

[putitinD]

62. In trump's defense, I'm pretty sure he had a dirty diaper the entire time!

[Maru Kitteh]

63. True. It is hard to read a prompter

when your shorts are full.

This would also explain the look on Trudeau's face when Trump extended his hand. The aroma likely caused some concern. [text size = 6] 💩 [/size]

[MineralMan]

67. Trump splutters, "Wait. This is America. We speak English here."

"Wait...stop...I can't understand you. What are you saying about me?"

[LittleGirl]

68. It was like a train wreck in slow motion

my spouse and I couldn't look away. As much as we wanted to avoid the bloodshed, it was so remarkable that we had to watch it until the end. And it ends so quickly too. A couple of questions, a couple of foreign language words, an upraised eyebrow, like wtf and it's over. sigh.

[Maru Kitteh]

79. The opener, Trump's long, sputtering, stilted delivery of a very few and simple words

followed by Trudeau's effortless barrage of lucid eloquence in two languages - THAT was my favorite.

It was like watching the school stoner shuffle up with a hangover, still wearing his clothes from last night's party and give a presentation on wood - followed by the valedictorian's presentation on quantum gravity and the string theory.

[LittleGirl]

83. Exactly!

when I hear #45 speak, I just laugh. I can't imagine why he won't wear glasses to read or use words that make him sound somewhat intelligent? He's a complete and total fool to stand beside other world leaders and have their IQ lowered by being in #45's presence.

[lillypaddle]

74. And why does shitgibbon

have to repeat everything? very very. He sucks.

I wanna move to Canada. I wanna handsome, articulate, intelligent leader.

Obama, come baaaaack!

[cilla4progress]

76. I bet he calls his friend Barack

After to share disses!

[JHB]

88. Welp, we all thought Operation Canadian Bacon was just a Michael Moore movie...

Should we start a betting pool on if it will become a policy of The Kremlin Don Show?

[catbyte]

89. Now the yokel Trumpites are dissing Trudeau for speaking French. They're a

neverending source of embarrassment.

[BainsBane]

90. I miss all the good stuff

[Maru Kitteh]

92. I'm sorry Bane (((hugs))) I'll bet it's on the youtubeses! It's worth

the time. Just the dumbass look on Trumps face when Trudeau begins to speak, his uncomfortable and pinched faces as Trudeau flows from French to English. . . . . it's an absolute DELIGHT.

[BainsBane]

94. I'm watching it now!

Canada, will you please adopt my family and me?? Pretty please???

132. With you. Not keen on experiencing Dark Ages II with 45 in "charge"

What a mess.

99. Wow, will need to catch it on you tube. Trudeau multi-lingual and clown Trump can't even speak...

"American" as his supporters would say. GAH

107. YouTube link to full presser here:

[Dorian Gray]

126. Gosh

If Trump weren't such an egomaniacal psychopath, I'd feel sorry for him.

[Paula Sims]

133. As a multi-lingual person, I was impressed and quite proud of the Prime Minister's linguistics

You can tell he "thinks" in both languages as his syntax was appropriate and not merely a translation.

Oh yea, he's cute too

(yes, I'm shallow. . . )

[Maru Kitteh]

143. No harm in that. The man is visually pleasing AND

eloquent.

Very NOT Trump.



SO not Trump.
