He basically threw a fit because he didn't want to be there. Pulling his translation earpiece out when Macron was giving a speech was so immature and disrespectful. He's such an embarrassment.

I had been calling him 45 since the election. She suggested it was too dignified, and suggested "-45". That feels right, and it's short.

I won't call him "President".

Edited: I don't know Laura PourMeADrink's gender, so apologies to that poster if I erred.

in case their blood sugar was low and needed to be brought up. They said starbursts worked better than other candies to bring it up.

DICK!!

He really wants this all to end, doesn’t he?

The worst part? One third of the country is just cheering this on. Why the fuck are we letting a mean spirited and boorish minority get away with this stuff??

I think he has settled in to the power of the presidency and his twisted idea of leverage.

And thought it was the funniest insult we’d ever done. Guess Numbnuts tRump was doing the same thing. Somehow it isn’t quite so funny coming from a 72 year old man/child.
