A New List of Crazy Shit Trump Did, According to Fiona Hill
Abigail Weinberg


snip//

A few choice tidbits, all according to Hill:

Upon meeting Hill for the first time, she says Trump mistook her for a secretary (she was the senior director for European and Russian affairs on the National Security Council) and “became angry that she did not immediately agree to retype a news release for him.”

Trump informed Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan that most Americans’ idea of Turkey comes from the prisons in Midnight Express: “Bad image—you need to make a different film.”

Trump would ask to send magazine articles to the likes of Erdogan and French president Emmanuel Macron if the stories included flattering pictures of the leaders. Often, the text of the article was anything but. That didn’t matter: Trump wanted to make sure that his peers on the world stage knew when they were “looking strong.”

In a conversation with former German chancellor Angela Merkel, Trump referred to Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) as “Senator Pocahontas.” Merkel was aghast.

Trump did his shtick about hating windmills—to the prime minister of Norway.

Trump didn’t see why Crimea shouldn’t be a part of Russia. They speak Russian there, after all.


A lot of the wild things that happened during the Trump administration do not get much attention because many find the discussion of the Russia investigation, and connections with Russia, overplayed and boring. I get it. But sometimes that means you miss out on Trump telling a Turkish president to make a movie.

1. trump actually thought Turkey made Midnight Express?

That was an American film. Oliver Stone directed. And Turkey was vehemently against the film at the time and was very angry over the portrayal of Turkish prisons.

And trump is still not over the windmill thing. Ever since Scotland would not let him build a golf course there in favor of a wind farm. Adn trump threw one of his famous tantrums. As though Scotland has no right to decide what they do on their own land in their own country.

 

once again, the smartest ****s on the interwebs...

4. When he says in his rallies that Biden has made America the world's laughingstock,

he is projecting. But, y'all knew that already. Yikes. I thought Dumbya was stupid, but he's a genius compared to this imbecile.

5. My drunk Uncle said crazy shit at the VFW every day.

Half the people listening to him thought he was a genius.

That's the ****ing problem.

A shit ton of Americans think calling a Senator a racial slur in front of other foreign leaders is A-OK, or even desirable.

We know Donnie Dipshit and his supporters are hateful, ignorant Asspickles.

The job is NOT to document their idiocy and hatred.

The job is to kick their asses at the ballot box so ****ing hard their children and grandchildren will feel it.

10. You all better be careful about what you post.

When Trump becomes the final American President, he will have a lot of pent up frustration to vent. Think about a Donald Trump unburdened by the constraints applied to a President.

17. Yes, he's a vengeful MFer but, Desantis is worse. If the fascist take power

they will come for us. Your repug neighbor can't wait to shoot you. Remember their moto, "the only good Democrat is a dead Democrat."

18. TFG is the personification of the oligarchs who rule the US

They picked him, they paid for him and they think he was/still could be a great president. He is their little monster.

The filthy rich don't notice his bigotry, racism, white supremisism, sexism, stupidity, crass materialism and narcism because they are just like him.

It doesn't take smarts or class to be filthy rich in a capitalist system. It only takes being born into the right family. Much like feudalism and slavery.

25. Wow...

This is another foray into rewriting history. “Crazy Shit Trump did”… as if the DT admin was no worse then a college frat house and all silly stuff that goes in one…

Someone should remind this writer that this man was the President of the United States and not only did he degrade the office and the position but his incompetence or more than likely criminal negligence cost America over 1 million of its citizens.

17. Yes, he's a vengeful MFer but, Desantis is worse.

There it is! The ol' "EVERY REPUBLICAN IS WORSE THAN THE LAST!" shtick.

What will they say if DeSantis becomes president? "At least Trump was a real character!"

Anyway, I give this"new list of crazy shit Trump did" about as much credence as all the other bull crap that has been claimed about him.

Hill forgot to mention that time when Trump answered a question by gesturing:  " Pff, Who cares?!! "
