Trump has 'meltdown' during Syria meeting and has 'no plan' to deal with Isis

You are assuming he is unstable based on a biased report. Did Trump call Nancy a third rate politician, I would bet money he said that. Is he emotionally unstable for calling her a third rate politician, that is an opinion.

So, of course, Trump tweets that Speaker Pelosi had a melt down, and that she is sick.

Every time someone sums up his behavior, he accuses his adversary of the same. He copies the language, and repeats it often enough that the words start to lose their meaning.

No puppet! No puppet! You're a puppet!

who stormed out? Trump or Pelosi?

Who made a meeting into an opportunity to make personal attacks on the other? Just another example of why the POS is unfit to sit in the oval office. I do agree in part what another poster said, no more meetings with trump, not the first time he has gone off the rails in a meeting and will not be the last if they meet with him again. The next 12 months are going to be one heck of a bumpy ride for all.

Not being judgemental, but our last president who was as cool as a cucumber watched ISIS expand into a caliphate the size of a country that spanned two countries.
Obviously, the emotional state of a person and the outcomes of their policies do not correlate very well.

You call Trump, "Nancy?"

That's even better than the "Whiny Little Bitch" nickname that most ppl call him.

That might stick!!

Is that building still an NBC TV studio?

It was when I was age fourteen and participating in a broadcasting internship there, and as far as I know, it still is, although Tenleytown certainly has grown by leaps and bounds since 1957.
I had several teachers in my internship, which was a "class" of eighteen kids my age.
We had Willard Scott, who was the local WRC-TV weatherman AND the original Ronald McDonald, and we had John Chancellor, who was the "visiting" Washington DC based NBC-TV news anchor at the time, splitting his anchor duties with David Brinkley and Frank McGhee.

Scott, of course, was rotund, goofy and very connected to casual humor while Chancellor was a somewhat imposing figure, six foot five and possessed of a very reassuring baritone set of pipes and a natural delivery.

I think WRC-TV has probably expanded their base of operations quite a bit in the digital age, but the Nebraska Avenue studios will probably continue to serve for a very long time, as the location couldn't possibly be better for a newshound in the capital city.

On the outside, it almost looks like an old 1950's high school but the inside is pure cutting edge tech and always has been.

Coming from the party of 3 years of failed fake claims and some newbie poster, thats about as fake as it gets.
 
~ Good on President Trump. It's about time he took off the gloves and started to slap around the sissy Congress that has been an obstruction to the agenda we the people voted for.

Nancy go home !

You calling another poster a newbie is rich, considering you both joined this year.

Don’t watch CBN — Christian Broadcasting Network — when they speak of the traitor selling out their fellow oppressed minority, the Kurds.

Many people both civilian and military have been waiting for Trump to attack former SecDef James Mattis the retired Marine 4-star who had been chief of U.S. Central Command and chief of Nato Development Command, among his many command positions. Trump now has done it, calling Mattis "the world's most overrated general."

Trump did not initiate his mention of Mattis however, as he responded to Schumer reading a statement by Mattis on a Sunday program. Trump was more defensive at the mention of Mattis than offensive although offensive is what Trump was. Mattis is of course the natural moral and authoritative general of stature and respect across the armed forces. A true leader.


Trump Rages at Pelosi, Mattis, and Communists During ‘Meltdown’ in White House Meeting


The president even took a shot at his former defense secretary—who quit late last year over policy disagreements—when the conversation on Wednesday afternoon touched on foreign policy and a potential rejuvenation of ISIS fighters in Syria.

Schumer at one point pulled out a piece of paper featuring quotes from Mattis’ interview on NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday. The Democratic leader began reading to the president the statement that Mattis made on that Sunday show, that “if we don't keep the pressure on, then ISIS will resurge. It's absolutely a given that they will come back.”

Trump, this source said, then interrupted Schumer, and insisted that Mattis was “the world’s most overrated general.”

“You know why?” the president continued, according to the source. “He wasn’t tough enough. I captured ISIS. Mattis said it would take two years. I captured them in one month.” Trump also repeatedly claimed that of the ISIS prisoners who escaped when Turkish forces invaded northeast Syria, only the “least dangerous” individuals got out.

Secretary of Defense Mark Esper, asked to confirm the president’s assertion that those ISIS prisoners who escaped were the “least dangerous,” told Schumer he didn’t know, according to the source.

Gen. Mark Milley became chairman of JCS on September 1st after 5 years as Army chief of staff and former chief of Army Forces Command that does unit deployments. Adm. James Staverdis (Ret.) who is a close friend of Milley and Mattis and a former Nato supreme commander said no CJCS has been in a tougher spot. (Milley has the new Army standard wear uniform based on the WW II model.)

The letter he sent to the Turkish President does support your theory, he came off as juvenile. I would luv to see Pence and the SOS faces when they meet the meet the Turkish President today. How do they explain a letter which supposedly contradicts his phone call a few days earlier. Yes the syntax is childlike, but its the 380 turn which is alarming and reflects badly on his supposed great bargaining skills.

What matters most to Trump is telling his base he is bringing home troops and stopping endless wars. When those ISIS terrorist now free from Kurdish prisons are planting bombs on US soil perhaps Trump will have realized his error, but I doubt it.

It's a spectacular area indeed.

That the WRC-TV facility is at Massachusetts Heights next to The American University provides -- as you know -- a splendid view down on Washington and across the city. It's cool too that just down the way on Massachusetts Avenue is the National Cathedral and also the Naval Observatory which is the official residence of the veep. Vatican's Apostolic Delegate has residence across Massachusetts Ave at the Observatory. Massachusetts Avenue is of course long known in Washington as Embassy Row, most famously the UK Embassy.

Although upper Northwest Washington isn't quite in the physical center of the city's politics Massachusetts Ave goes from there right to the steps of the Capitol Building. Mass Ave intersects through the major thoroughfares of Wisconsin Avenue in Georgetown and at party central Dupont Circle and Connecticut Avenue. I did an M.A. at the AU School of Communications Grad School which on each Tuesday sent the 26 of us in the program to cover political events and report on 'em. Each semester the grad students of the School conduct a poll with the Washington Post that includes local and national issues.

A number of our small group stopped by the WRC building often given it was across Nebraska Avenue and where Willard Scott loved to show us his rip 'n read technology ha. Rip it off the AP "ticker" machine, rephrase it colorfully and go on air. Actually the big guy Scott -- aka: Ripley N. Read -- did much more than that and with a ton of personality besides. A big guy Willard was but definitely not heavy.

So if you didn't catch the presser with Trump and Italian President Sergio Mattarella, this is what you missed:

Trump claimed the US has been allies with Italy since ancient Rome.

He called President Mattarella, "President Mozzarella" several times.

He bashed NATO while praising Putin.

He said AG Barr met with Italian Intelligence to investigate crimes he is certain lead to President Obama.

:lamo:rofl:2rofll:

I'll SO miss the comedy of this idiot when he's gone.
