What really left me gobsmacked was the realization that the folks I was talking to seemed to have absolutely no concept of why it isn't generally a good idea for someone in a high position of leadership -- especially when he is the chief executive of the most powerful nation on earth --to flap his gums in the style of the neighborhood loudmouth who hangs out at the corner bar night after night. They apparently had absolutely no understanding of the kind of damage that sort of careless diarrhea of the mouth can do to international relations, to trade relations, as well as to the U.S.'s standing in the eyes of most of the civilized world.
Let’s say it were true that Trump said what Durbin reported. If what you said above is the case, then why would Durbin announce publicly what was said in private? Wouldn’t the potential “damage to international relations” outweigh any political points that could be scored by making it known to the public? What does that say about Durbin?
You see primitives, when you say these things, you never really ever think it all the way through. That’s why we rightfully refer to you as idiots.
