This is good! We just found out what certain country leaders think of Trump, and there is a video record of it. It’s out there. Trump is going to blow a gasket when this reaches him – we know he will. And when he does, we can bet on there being more slapback. It should be fun to see how this progresses. From Politico via Raw Story:
Several world leaders made fun of President Donald Trump’s boasts about ending a war between their countries. Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama was caught on video mocking the U.S. president Thursday with French President Emmanuel Macron and Azerbaijan President Ilham Aliyev at a European Political Community summit in Denmark, reported Politico. “You should make an apology … to us because you didn’t congratulate us on the peace deal that President Trump made between Albania and Azerbaijan,” Rama told Macron in the video, and Aliyev burst out laughing. “I’m sorry for that,” Macron replied, drawing more laughter from bystanders. “He worked very hard,” Rama added.
Hello, “President” Trump? You’ve been mocked, you’ve been burned. Ohhh, he’s going to be an unhappy boy when he sees this. You have to know that someone will “accidentally” post it somewhere he will run across it. He’ll notice because it has his name in it. The eruption should be spectacular!
It actually was a kinda back backhanded compliment in that they did note that he brokered a peace deal. That was the truth, not fiction. But the *way* they said it and what’s in the rest of the video around it is sheer mockery, with maybe a hint of a slap regarding Ukrainian President Zelenskyy. “You didn’t congratulate us”, you see.
Trump has repeatedly mixed up Armenia and Albania when claiming to have resolved long-standing tensions between Armenia and Azerbaijan – the latter of which he has been unable to properly pronounce – to angle for a Nobel Peace Prize.
We are back to that damn Peace Prize again. He’s never going to realize that you get them when you *deserve* them, not when you beg for them. Saying “look at what I did now give me the Nobel” is just going to move it further and further away. Calling up people on the committee and telling them he deserves one was embarrassing for half of us here in America. Ending the war with Russia and Ukraine, well, maybe. A definite maybe. But that’s not going to happen. To close:
“I solved wars that was unsolvable. Azerbaijan and Albania,” Trump told Fox News last month. “It was going on for many, many years, I had the prime ministers and presidents in my office.” The president did broker a deal at the White House in August between the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan to end decades of fighting, and he frequently – and falsely – boasts to have ended at least six other conflicts.
Six? Yea no. It would be entertaining to ask him the question as to *what* six wars as a member of the press to see him stumble and blather and either attack or change the subject. He’s a legend in his own mind … but no one else’s. And for the smarter, democratic part of the country, this is far too funny!!!
Friends, I know everyone begs you for money. I promise, among all those asking for spare change, we are the smallest and the hardest working. We’re a group of old, disabled people, except for one writer in his mid-50s. The rest of us are in our sixties and seventies, and this is a labor of love. All we’re asking for is the chance to keep telling the truth about Trump and help ensure democracy survives. If you can help, please do. Thank you. Ursula






















World leaders probably don’t want to shake 47’s hand; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump_and_handshakes
I had a handshake issue with him long ago.

” Next thing I’m standing next to Donald. So I stretched my hand and said; “Donald, nice meeting you”. His reaction was unique. I’ve met thousands of people around the world and nobody reacted that way. Trump changed his facial expression to one of complete disgust. And he almost got down to his knees in a dark corner of the restaurant. My wife and Marla came back from the restroom having a friendly chat while I was deciding whether to punch Donald for insulting me. “
