President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Firm, big-handed handshake from Trudeau:

 

At least he didn't do the jerky thing this time.

 

Trudeau blocked it by grabbing Trump's shoulder. Smart move by the PM.

(And that handshake thing Trump does just seems like such a subconscious bullying move.)

 

The Ronald Reagan library and Clint Eastwood's continued residency are the state's only redeeming qualities.

If CA could somehow wrest control of Alcatraz from the National Park Service to serve as a Muslim refugee "welcome center," the scale might tip.

 

"I'm sorry, but the Mar-A-Lago Security Council membership costs an extra $250,000 on top of your existing membership."

 

FACT CHECK: Not true!

 

I don't think it's all that subconscious. I think he quite well knows he's doing it. He probably read somewhere that it asserts his power and gives him leverage in a negotiation or some such bullshit.

 

Did you forget the Nixon library?

 

WRONG! Too much Teddy Roosevelt environmentalism for today's conservative.

 

Trump's the guy the clears out the men's grill on Sunday. No one wants to hear about his eagle on the par 5 again.

 

I considered it, but abandoned its inclusion. Too on the nose.

 

They call it the art of the deal, I believe.
