What stupid shit has Trump done today?

So out of 23 people in those lists, only 7 aren't American (and one of those is fucking their president). And they say the US is inward-looking.

I reckon you'd get similar results in any country - people will naturally know more [about] people from where they're from. I'd expect a survey done in the UK would have mostly British people on it.

ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Pakistan summoned the U.S. ambassador in protest against U.S. President Donald Trump's angry tweet about Pakistan's "lies and deceit", while Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif dismissed the outburst as a political stunt.

David Hale was summoned by the Pakistan foreign office on Monday to explain Trump's tweet, media said. A spokesperson for the U.S. Embassy in Islamabad confirmed the meeting took place.

In a withering attack, Trump on Monday said the United States has "foolishly" handed Pakistan more than $33 billion in aid in the last 15 years and had been rewarded with "nothing but lies and deceit".

"They give safe haven to the terrorists we hunt in Afghanistan, with little help. No more!" Trump wrote on Twitter.

Pakistan Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi on Tuesday will chair a cabinet meeting that will focus on Trump's tweet, while on Wednesday the country's top civilian and military chiefs will meet to discuss deteriorating U.S. ties.

Relations between United States and its uneasy ally Pakistan have been strained for many years over Islamabad's alleged support for Haqqani network militants, who are allied with the Afghan Taliban.

Washington has signaled to Pakistan that it would cut aid and enact other punitive measures if Islamabad did not stop helping or turning a blind eye to the Haqqani network militants who carry out cross-border attacks in Afghanistan.

Islamabad bristles at the suggestion it is not doing enough in the war against militancy, saying that since 2001, Pakistan has suffered more than the United States from militancy as casualties at the hands of Islamists number in the tens of thousands.

Pakistani Foreign Minister Khawaja dismissed Trump's comments as a political stunt borne out of frustration over U.S. failures in Afghanistan, where Afghan Taliban militants have been gaining territory and carrying out major attacks.

"He has tweeted against us (Pakistan) and Iran for his domestic consumption," Asif told Geo TV on Monday.

"He is again and again displacing his frustrations on Pakistan over failures in Afghanistan as they are trapped in dead-end street in Afghanistan."

Asif added that Pakistan did not need U.S. aid.

A U.S. National Security Council official on Monday said the White House did not plan to send $255 million in aid to Pakistan "at this time" and said "the administration continues to review Pakistan's level of cooperation." In August, the administration had said it was delaying the payment.

“Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif called President-elect USA Donald Trump and felicitated him on his victory. President Trump said Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif you have a very good reputation. You are a terrific guy. You are doing amazing work which is visible in every way. I am looking forward to see you soon. As I am talking to you Prime Minister, I feel I am talking to a person I have known for long. Your country is amazing with tremendous opportunities. Pakistanis are one of the most intelligent people. I am ready and willing to play any role that you want me to play to address and find solutions to the outstanding problems. It will be an honor and I will personally do it.

Trump now claims credit for there being no commercial airline deaths in 2017 :eek::facepalm::mad:



And there will be people who actually think he's responsible.

Then again, I should really have put quotation marks around the word "people". The word "morons" would be more appropriate.
 
I haven't had my nuts bitten off by a Laplander. Good on him.

Although...would he really have taken the blame if something terrible had actually happened? I think not.

He's made no improvement in those airline safety stats whatsoever, the idle twat. We need minus deaths ffs.

As good as the system is, flight safety is no accident is still just a commendable aspiration - shit still happens, only now we'll have political shenanigans scapegoating people doing their best in an imperfect world


A LOT of people in various industries where deaths happen just got the measure of the man

The biggest contribution to flight safety in the last decade is the introduction of the A380, which may very well stop production this year... Why is it the biggest? Cos with any life threatening risk assessment - you take the worst case scenario and budget for safety according... It's having that many potential similtanious court cases that makes operators and airports up their games

I would say any tribe, is a form of communism. Like those of the American Natives, or of Africa for example.

One of the best known African tribes is the Zulu people. Tshaka brought the tribe to prominence by defeating neighbouring tribes in a most bloodthirsty manner often impaling enemies, as well as dissidents in his own tribe, by impaling them through their rectum on sharpened poles. When his mother, Nandi, died he killed thousands of his own people for not "showing enough grief". His descendant, Zulu King Cetshwayo, when criticised by the British for having his warriors cross the border from Zululand into Natal to kill Zulus who had fled from him, sent a messenger to the British asking them how they expected his people to respect his wishes if he didn't kill those that disagreed with him.

Is this a good example of how Communism should work then?

Zulus aren't/weren't a 'tribe'. They were a fucking great feudal state with imperial ambitions. Are they a 'tribe' just cause they're black you fucking moron? (not that Archimage 's post wasn't a bit nonsense as well)

If you want to discuss this start a fucking thread and stop shitting over all the other threads please.

Trump gave a speech to aviation industry chiefs last year and apparently based everything he was saying on a conversation he had with his pilot.
"Airports are very important when you travel. Very important... we have an obsolete plane system, we have obsolete airports, we have obsolete trains. We have bad roads. We’re going to change all of that, folks. You’re going to be so happy with Trump. I think you already are."

Asked whether he would consider letting the passenger-facility fee go up for the first time in 16 years to pay for airport improvements, he said:
"The problem is, I don’t like raising fees or taxes — I’ll be honest. I mean, we’re spending all this money overseas, we’re giving away trillions of dollars to all these countries. All of the countries that trade with us are ripping us off. The last thing we have to do is raise the fee. I understand what you’re saying, but $4.50 — it’s a lot when you look at all of the passengers.

If there were other ways of doing this — because you’re only hurting yourself by — really, eventually, people are going to just stop flying because it’s very expensive with all the taxes. I mean, there are other ways. We’re spending so much money overseas, fighting wars, doing things, and, frankly, making horrible trade deals. So don’t worry about the money. I’ll be able to get the money. The money — we’re going to change things around."

But of course if something happens because of obsolete air-traffic control systems, etc., it's going to be somebody else's fault.

Remarks by President Trump in Meeting with the Aviation Industry | The White House
 
In some alternate reality a tv exec is pitching the idea of a dark comedy around the idea of Trump being president, and it's shot down as too far out after a scene where Trump replaces diplomacy with a nuke armed North Korea with a tweet hinting that his cock is bigger than the current despot ruling NK.
 
'@Jack is complicit' was projected on Twitter HQ last night

Seems the CEO of Twitter is getting flack over Trump's nuclear button tweet.
 
It's almost funny when he does his thing to someone like Bannon, with the usual utterly transparent motivation/timing.

"Steve Bannon has nothing to do with me or my presidency. When he was fired, he not only lost his job, he lost his mind," Mr Trump said in a statement on Wednesday.

"Steve was a staffer who worked for me after I had already won the nomination by defeating seventeen candidates, often described as the most talented field ever assembled in the Republican party," he continued.

"Now that he is on his own, Steve is learning that winning isn't as easy as I make it look. Steve had very little to do with our historic victory, which was delivered by the forgotten men and women of this country."
