RE: Trump put call with Putin on hold to ask his aides to explain our nuclear arms treaty

hmm, he was on the phone with putin so why would he be asking his staff anything? Is he actually trying to decide things himself for a change?

Yeah? Well, if I was Trump, I'd stop acting like a petulant fucking child, man up, and work my orange ass off to get up to speed on this job I'm so unqualified to hold. I'd be embarrassed to be such an embarrassment. I know such modesty and self-reflection isn't his "style" but I sure as hell wouldn't be spouting off about something as critical as our nuclear arsenal and the agreements we have in place concerning that arsenal before thoroughly doing my homework. I'm not talking about a damn briefing. I'm talking about the sort of immersive study he should have done when it first dawned on him that he might want to run for this office. Too late for that now. But he can at least treat this job with the seriousness it requires and deserves. The son of a bitch has time to pick quarrels with celebrities, retail chains, and judges (Democrat and Republican appointees alike) but needs to ask about something like this while on the phone with Putin?!? Maybe Trump is doing some misdirecting. He has a lot of experience negotiating all kinds of deals with all kinds of people. So maybe he's playing Putin.

LOL... "All kinds"? Really? He clearly has no experience negotiating political treaties with leaders of nations. Which is the kind of experience that would be most useful at his current job. This is one of the ways in which this fusion of Lex Luthor and a dead squirrel is not qualified for office. I'll never understand, how anybody could have thought electing him to be president was a good idea...
But I'm sure you'll be able to hold on to the fantasy, that he's secretly smart and cunning, at least for a while. That's what conspiracy theories and "alternative facts" are for...

If there was any doubt of his stupidity. Of course that the alternative fact is that he is very bright.
I'd like to see walls tall enough to not let those pesky nukes in.

I seriously doubt that he has ever negotiated anything. CEOs don't do that. They decree the outcome they want achieved and then let the lawyers do the negotiating.
In fact, I doubt that he can even read.
And of course, he wasn't elected. Hillary was. Trump was selected.

We'd be lucky if there were even a scintilla of Luthor in there. Even if it were Superman 4 Luthor. Much more bigly improvement on the current laadoo.

Trump playing Putin that's freaking hilarious .We all know who's wearing the pants in that relationship. I only wonder weather Putin will take him on his desk Trumps. And who will be singing the Russian national anthem at the Americans surrendering ceremony. Or just how much of Europe Putin would like
