Forgive me for being slow here, but what did he mean by

"I think we have something in common here." The look on her face was fabulous, the press roared, and he seemed surprised. He looked like he was talking about something in an alternate universe.

1. Unproven allegations that the NSA had hacked Merkel's phone

Showing once again that President Trump puts more stock in fake news than he does in our own spy agencies:

2. The German Chancellor was wire tapped...

During the Obama administration. It was big news.

3. Big brouhaha when it turned out that under Obama, Merkel's phone calls were surveilled

Came out in a wiki leaks dump, I believe...

4. IIRC the NSA was discovered to have spied on the Germany chancellery years ago.

But Drumpf is too dumb to know that happened under George W. Bush and Obama.

5. I don't think most of the press found it funny

Inappropriate, maybe, but not funny.

Reporting on MSNBC indicated that most of the laughter came from one group--the group including the VP, other admin. officials, and aides. All Trump supporters.

7. In other words, the chuckleheads.

8. I figured they were laughing at him, not with him.

Should have known it was the peanut gallery.

6. Thanks all. My brain is currently on hiatus. (Shingles)

As always, no opportunity to swipe at Obama left unused. Even when they're fake .

You have to have superpowers to keep up with the bullshit.
