Mr Trump Can't Shut This War Down........

Trump doesn't have the intelligence to answer difficult questions. He resorts to insults. A clever politician can deflect from those sorts of questions politely.
This president of the USA throws insults around like confetti. The American people must be so proud.

Listening to Emily Maitless and co-presenters. They suggested that the King is taking some persuading over the visit to USA.

Be interested to see the outcome.

TBH if the war is still going on and perhaps Cuba is in the firing line as well as anyone else Trump fancies a go at, I think the King should stay well away. He doesn’t want to be seen as remotely endorsing Trump in his antics.

Trump wasn’t rude to the Irish reporter but quite diplomatic.
Exactly what was the question she asked?

Well, he does have form.
He told one reporter she was ugly, both inside and out and told another one Quiet, quiet piggy and another female report to shut up.

So, what is the latest gem I wonder?

He also eluded to one woman reporter being on her period…

And this is what is in charge?

In August 2015, during the first Republican presidential primary debate, Donald Trump made comments about Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly that were widely interpreted as suggesting she was menstruating.

The Comments
What was said: Following a debate where Kelly asked him tough questions, Trump told CNN, "You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her—wherever".
Interpretation: The remark was heavily criticized as a sexist insinuation that Kelly was hormonal or emotional due to her menstrual cycle.
Response: The comment caused a major controversy during the 2016 campaign, resulting in Trump being disinvited from a conservative gathering, with organizer Erick Erickson stating, "There are even lines blunt talkers... should not cross".

Trump's Denial
Trump refused to apologize, stating he did nothing wrong.
He denied the implication, saying "only a deviant" would interpret it that way.
He argued on Twitter that he was referring to blood coming out of her nose, not "wherever".

Backlash
The comments resulted in a wave of online pushback from women using the hashtag #PeriodsAreNotAnInsult.
Then-rival Carly Fiorina reacted by tweeting, "There. Is. No. Excuse," and stating, "Women understood that comment... and yes, it is offensive".
Bit jumbled I’m afraid but I couldn’t edit it. He was still elected after that..and then re elected. He never changes, in fact he gets worse.

Oh good grief, that room. It’s a cross between a trophy cabinet and Versailles on speed.

It has a gaudy house of ill repute. Fitting actually !

I didn’t want to read the question- I wanted to understand what was being said. I couldn’t.

Yes: in parts of that room it's easy to be heard, it depends where you are sitting, watch the video, it's obvious if you look who gets the next question.

So you ask again for clarity - given the limitations of the room and the lack of sound facilities, and just take a little trouble not snub a leading female reporter when you are. sitting next to the leader of her country.

Nothing surprising here, Trump true to form.

It took very little googling!

Her question "Catherine Connolly calling out attacks on the Middle East as a breach of international law"

In the Irish Times, read the full article as to the lead up.

What was her question? I couldn’t understand her.

He just dismissed her, he couldn't understand but didn't bother to find out.

The Irish PM has defended Keir Starmer on live television after Trump criticised him. Trump was also downright rude to an Irish reporter saying he couldn’t understand her.

Who needs enemies when we have allies like Trump?

Repeatedly saying Death to Israel isn’t going to make peace happen anytime soon…. And this has been said for quite some time.
Iran a country of 93 million and Israel 10 million….

Catherine occasionally used for men though it remains rare. Cathrinus is Latin masculine form. Kit, Cathan and very rarely Cathy also masculine forms. AI

It’s less convoluted to admit that Trump doesn’t know who the president of Ireland is.

Quite.

The Iranians puzzle me even more. If only they could be persuaded to moderate their language around Israel, there might be some hope for peace. Fat chance.

What a strange thing to say. You think peace will happen if people talk to each other nicely?

What a load of old nonsense.

Trump is a liability and a warmonger. Along with his mates from Israel.

Is there a fat chance Netanyahu can moderate his language
