    Default We need a President who isn't a laughing stock

    As the summit concluded, journalists were keen to ask Mr Johnson about the footage that had wounded Mr Trump so deeply. The Prime Minister, however, appeared mystified. “I don’t know where that’s come from,” he replied with a frown of bemusement, when a journalist suggested that he didn’t take Mr Trump seriously.

    Several other questions were asked about Mr Trump, but the Prime Minister seemed strangely reluctant to talk about him. When asked whether he thought Mr Trump was a force for good in the world, he talked instead about the importance of the United States in general.

    When asked whether he thought Mr Trump was either “an amnesiac or a liar”, he said the question was “extraneous to our dealings here today”. I hope the President won’t take this the wrong way. He is, as we know, a sensitive soul.

    Yeah, remember that one about golfing and how he'd be way too busy?

    That's the trouble with social media. It freezes your words in time so that later on RWers can't claim that what you said wasn't said, or that it was altered to make you look bad.

    So social media is never altered to take things out of context or make something look different that it is? Owl you're naive if you believe that.

    How was this tweet, or the one about being too busy to golf if he was POTUS, "taken out of context"? Here are some of TRE45ON's tweets about golf, specifically about Obama doing it too much. Please let us know which ones are taken out of context and in what way.

    I didn't say these things you made a general claim about social media and I rebutted it.

    Perhaps the “lawyer” could explain the difference between “here” and “hear.”

    Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.

    D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.
