Trump says 'tough phone' calls needed because 'world is in trouble'

Source: Reuters


02 FEB 2017 AT 10:00 ET

U.S. President Donald Trump told a national prayer breakfast on Thursday that the world is in trouble, the United States is being taken advantage of, and that he was having tough phone calls as he worked to address issues.

The world is in trouble, but were going to straighten it out, OK? Thats what I do I fix things, Trump said after saying that freedom of religion was threatened.

Believe me, when you hear about the tough phone calls Im having dont worry about it. Just dont worry about it, he said.

Were taken advantage of by every nation in the world virtually. Its not going to happen anymore, he said.

that NO Rep(s) have stood up and proclaimed: "OK! We've seen enough!" and had this faker thrown out on his flabby ass. How long are we gonna stand in awe while he plays God? If he IS God, he's certainly not the one that folks have been praying to for eons. He's a god of prey - not pray.

Disaster Capitalism. There's too much competition to make money off the heritage of the Third World now that they're becoming "developing countries", so they're stuck with selling off the "spouse's" things and stealing their own kid's heritage for their fun money. The GOP and their TeaHadist/Dominionist don't care about the future, because their God-Ego has convinced them they're either going to be able to buy their way out of responsibility, or all going to heaven after the world goes to shit.
So long as everyone else - including their hapless, spoiled kids and grandkids - pays for their fantasy lifestyle, they're happy - no worries at all.

resulting sometimes in excruciatingly tough paper cuts.

Tough breakfasts will have to be eaten first, followed by tough tooth brushings.

Then tough shoe tyings will have to occur.

Whatever happens, it'll be tough. Ba LEE me.

"Thats what I do, I fix things". No you don't you asstard. You fuck everything up beyond repair. Everything you touch turns to crap. I just can't believe nobody has come after this imbecile with a straight-jacket and a padded van yet.
