Is there no end to the conga-line of sycophants abasing themselves before the petulant godzilla in Mar-a-lago?

Truly, we are living in the era of people revealing their true self. No fig leafs, no pretences, no affordances to civility, nobility, morality or ethics.

    See it from her perspective. Trump is the only one listening to her, the only one doing anything about her struggle. The only world leader openly supporting her.

    Sure Trump the opportunist and Maria with her selfless gratitude is not thinking about America’s internal turmoil. Everyone is having their problems.

    And look at the rest of you.

    Snakes in the grass.

    You don’t like him (I’m not a fan yet refuse to be a hypocrite.)

    Hypocrites. That is what you haters all are. Not for knowing there is something wrong with the world, for taking it out on the most obvious symbol of your displeasure.

    Your problems are far deeper than Trump or these games played out on a global scale.

    Your problems begin with your self deceptions and cascade into the mob appetites.

    “Conga-line”? Where you intending to sound like a racist libtard, just like the MAGA have you down?

    True selves indeed.

      He said she is not respected back home.

      Also, she got a swag bag in return. Nice trade.

      Trump, handing over power to a WOMAN? LOL.

Proof that she never deserved it in the first place.

Dude just seems so fragile and desperate for praise and such.

    Denmark should do this:

    a) rename Greenland to Epstein Island to make him stop talking about it

    b) give him the Ultra Deluxe Platinum Lego medal of honor

What a spineless sellout.

Useless too, as the elections in Venezuela are a long way ahead, 90% after he's gone , if they'd be held at all.

Trump and people like him (bullies) can only thrive in a world of spineless individuals.

    Trump is an evil authoritarian but I think this is (sadly) a smart play by Machado. If her flattery gets him to change his mind and put her government in charge then it's a major (and easy) win.

    It's a disaster for the Nobel Peace prize. It wouldn't shock me if they try to rescind it; I'm sure they don't like seeing it be used as a bargaining chip. Everything Trump touches really does die.

...

  Trump: May I see?

  Machado: Ho ho ho, see with your eyes, not with your hands!

  Trump: Please, we are all amigos here!

  Homer: Maria.. I think we can trust the president..

  Machado: [hands it to Trump, and waits a couple of seconds.] Now, give it back...

  Trump: Give what back?
