There is something wrong with Trump.

At a meeting with oil industry CEO’s he suddenly interrupts his introductory remarks, gets up and looks out the window and starts talking about his ballroom. Trump then realizes his mistake and says “unusual time to look”, and sits back down to continue.

How many oil companies will invest in a Venezuelan oil project initiated by a man who loses track of the situation he is in?

@randahl In our geriatric health care you see many old men staring out of the windows by talking bullshit. But we‘ll never vote for them as a President.

@randahl no there is nothing wrong. He's very streetwise clever. If they want a piece of the oil-cake, they have to give him money for his ballroom. This was nothing less then a commercial break with him saying: invest in my big beautiful ballroom, if you want access.

@hermannus I think you can learn a lot from observing JD and Rubio: First looking at each other with the “here we go again”, and soon thereafter looking down, hoping that it ends because of how embarrassing it is.

Trump is a copycat.

He's imitating how the Soviets kidnapped Alexander Dubček, the Czechoslovakian Prime Minister, in 1968 and ended the Prague Spring.

The Soviets also sent in military in the dark of night to kidnap a leader.

Czechoslovakia would remain a Soviet vassal state until 1990.

@randahl seems the major oil companies, who have been burnt in Venezuelan nationalizations twice ain't prepared to spend their money there, as they will most likely loose everything they invested there in 2028...

I'm not sure if Trump lost track of the situation or if it is some kind of power play:

He can do what ever he wants and they are still dependent on him and have to play along.

@randahl Ok from time to time I read arguments from left side of #USA and people stop. Just stop. He's not demented. He know what's he's doing. He is a perfect #capitalist who will fuck up any other nation so USA can grow and abuse other countries.

Same with the #ICE guy shooting this woman. She almost run over him and because USA is such a fucked up country he #shoot her in the face. Just like any other policeman would do. So the problem is not only with ICE but with gun control in USA.

@randahl #USA is a perfect machine running on abused majority of workers who can't afford shit. All their life is based on generating #profit for corporations that will send them to war so minority of rich people can get even more money.

#Trump is perfect #president for such country. I know it's scary but it is true. He will do whatever he wants and he is not demented. His values are different than yours. He thinks in terms of money and USA as a country. Nothing else matters.

@randahl And this is really scary but it's the truth. Focus on educating people why their wages go down, why attacking other country will cut trade with #Europe, why rulling with force leads to #fascism and stop saying stuff like:

OOO DONALD TRUMP DEMENTED OLD GUY DON'T KNOW WHAT HE IS DOING.

He perfectly knows what he's doing. And it's fucking scary. #Hitler also knew what he was doing. He had #government on his side and more than 50% of #Germans who at the time were #natzi focused on profit.

Is there an English equivalent for the German word "fremdschämen"? Because that's what the audience must have experienced judging from their restrained laughter.

@cgudrian it is called second-hand embarrassment, which is the same as in Danish: Anderhåndsforlegenhed.

@randahl @cgudrian Exactly.

In Dublin vernacular "scarlehforya" (the "t" is aspirated). It's a dated usage characteristic of old women but widely understood and amenable to jocular use by everyone.
