Trump says he trusts Kim. If he's wrong? "I may be wrong, I mean, I may stand before you in six months and say, 'Hey I was wrong,'" said Trump, adding, "I don't know that I'll ever admit that, but I'll find some kind of an excuse."

(37,428 posts)Oh, yeah--there are also his denials of failure and attempts to spin faceplants into successes.

Trump says Kim is a great guy he's honored to meet but our closest, long-time ally Trudeau is a a backstabber.
We are so screwed.

(8,292 posts)while we wait for my spouse to get a transfer back to the states. Or we make our life there. Who knows anymore.
The job security world wide is impossible to plan. We are just surviving. I moved back here in Mar '17 to get the house ready to sell. I waited all summer, winter and spring and said, enough waiting. My spouse and I have been married 11.5 yrs and this has been our longest separation. My friends that are from the UK will ask me about the POTUS and I will shrug my shoulders and say...I didn't vote for that hot mess. He's a disgrace.

(10,252 posts)was his statement that Kim is a great guy. Very funny. He has a great personality.
Just perfect to co-star in Trump's reality show.

(24,464 posts)Lots of great guys kill family members with anti-aircraft guns. We wouldn't say that about anybody who did something here. I believe that Trump envies people like Kim, Duatarte, et. al because they have powers that he wish he had. I believe very strongly that Trump wants to be a dictator but is forced to operate in a system that (so far) has successfully resisted dictatorships.

(9,201 posts)What advice would he give himself? "Don't run for president".
Telling Lester Holt "I said to myself, this Russia thing is a made up story".
And now this. "I may not admit (being wrong), but I'll find some kind of excuse".
Are they just uncontrolled urges? What purpose do they have?
