Trump: "Major meeting" tonight at Mar-a-Lago to "talk all about the VA"

*turns to VA Sec.*

Will you be there?

*awkwardly shakes head no*

1. He shook his head no to being there, then nodded yes that he'd heard about it.

Shouldn't Trump already know who was attending though?

6. He cannot tell because he

fears that Merkel will drag him over the coals. Then he might explode and not be able to travel to Florida.

7. It's all a show for Trump to hide his nervousness.

If he isn't talking up his greatness in front of an adoring crowd, he has no idea how to behave. So he defaults to this kind of awkward 'folksiness'.

2. Sounds like code for...

another $3,000,000 golf weekend.

That's a lot of meals for senior shut-ins, by the way.

Got to prioritize. Which would you rather they spend our money on?

[rsdsharp]

3. $3,00,000 is (or was)

the whole budget for meals on wheels. No wonder it's not showing results. there's no golf involved.

8. VA huh?

Is 45 going to explain the benefit of starving 500,000 vets when he cuts meals on wheels?

10. 3 million is like a penny to the federal budget

I understand cuts are needed. Not sure we can sustain spending a trillion every year forever but saving 3 million is not helping out budget problems at all.

13. It's Not Even That, Yeoman

I'm sure you knew that, but to put a finer point on it it's much closer to a dollar for every million than a penny is to a dollar.

But, extending your analogy to an aphorism, "penny wise, pound foolish."

4. Looks like a no....

And why wouldn't Trump know that his VA head wasn't going to be there if it's such a "major" meeting... What an ass...and more wasted money to get him to the southern White House...

[riversedge]

9. Looks like Trump showed a lot of disrespect for his VA secretary.

5. I guess they forgot to invite him, just like no one told the State Dept when the

Ambassador to Mexico came to town last week. This is really amateur hour in Bean Town.

I guess once again, Trump threw in a "working meeting" at Mar-a-Lago" to try and justify the hole he's burning through the national debt with all his 'working' vacations to the "southern White House".

Gosh I never thought I could hate this con man any more than I did yesterday, but with each new day he becomes more deplorable then he was the day before, if that's even possible.

11. yet another a-hole republican lies blows up in Comrade Pee45's face

"Stop lying to us. We are not all republican suckers, you know, therefore most of us Americans don't like being lied to all the freaking time. Or at all."

12. Get him a room

And bill the gov't

14. Another 10 mill trip

15. He's just looking for a trumped up business reason to justify the pleasure trip.

He's probably just working off the top of his head.
