Easy:  One Ring for the Dark Lord on his dark throne. One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

| SOOPOO Member since: Feb 19, 2014 Threads: 22 Posts: 4170 | Apparently Obama gave a speech on needing to curb global warming, while he burned more carbon in a day than the average American does in a year! Apparently he flew in on a private jet escorted by 7 other jets, took a multivehicle motorcade, etc.... He is now the second most hypocritical person in the news.... only 'trumped' by you know who.... |

A year? More like a lifetime. Algore does the same. Ditto Prince Charles. Just one more reason I do not believe in GW as an issue. Though I expect the followers to justify the hypocritical behavior in their own mind. They care so much, it will help the cause in the end, other usual....... The President is a fink. |

Years ago Hannity had ongoing on air arguments with the loon Robert Kennedy Jr. He was a big GW guy who took private jets everywhere. His argument was, they're going there anyway. he just hitches a ride. Hannity's side was, you don't get rid of a problem by encouraging the use of it. Get rid of private jets should be Kenndey's cause. He still flies on them, of course. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

You could make a long list of examples like this. I pick on Prince Charles because he doesn't need the communications gear that the POTUS needs. He doesn't even have his own jet. Yet he still rents a Dassault Falcon Jet to fly the 325 miles from Heathrow, London (LHR) to Belfast Intl Arpt (BFS). Why couldn't he rent a turboprop? I don't expect him to fly Ryan Air. |

It is all empty acts. Like when Arnold was elected GOCA. He had 2 or 3 Hummers, IIRC one delivered special to him as one of first made. He gets elected so he sells them to show he is "green." But the things are still on the road! A guy worth millions and cares about GW would crack the engine blocks and crush them. GW is just hot air. The President is a fink. |

It's almost like Donald is determined to make his hardcore supporters eat crow for everything they criticized Hillary for during the campaign.... “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

| Pacomartin Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 1068 Posts: 12569 | A US President is expected to go to at least six Summit meetings unless he is dying G7, G-20, NATO, Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), East Asia Summit (EAS), and Summit of the Americas Some are combined to be nearby in time and distance. The six summits are combined into four trips this year. NATO meeting in Brussels is followed by G7 in Sicily (1062 miles) APEC meeting in Vietnam is followed closely by EAS in Phillipines. (1096 miles) Trump trips planned for summit meeting (except Britain which is a state visit) A) Current trip NATO and G7, Israel and Saudi Arabia and Papal audience B) Germany Hamburg July 7–8 2017 G20 Hamburg summit C) United Kingdom London, Aberdeenshire October 5–8 State visit to meet with Queen Elizabeth II. D) Vietnam Đà Nẵng November 11–12 APEC Vietnam 2017 Philippines Manila November 13–14 12th East Asia Summit E) Lima Peru March 23–25, 2018 Summit of Americas Two other summit meetings which may be obsolete are Nuclear Security Summit (4 times: a world summit, aimed at preventing nuclear terrorism around the globe) and North American Leaders Summit (8 times: Canada, Mexico, USA)
Every president since Eisenhower has had an audience with the pope. Every president since Eisenhower (except LBJ) has met with the British Queen Every president since Nixon (except Ford and Reagan) has been to Saudi Arabia Six presidents (Nixon, Carter, Clinton, GW Bush, Obama, Trump) have been to Israel So far Trump seems to not have any interest in copying his predecessors Clinton, Bush, and Obama who each went on 46-54 international visits to many countries over their 8 years. It looks like he won't deviate beyond the summit meetings. |

You get exhausted when you do actual work on a trip. Something Hillary never did. Obama might have gotten tired form bowing to everyone in sight, but who knows. The President is a fink. |

AZ's definition of "actual work:"
 Too easy. I love the stench of blatant hypocrisy in the morning! Perhaps instead of deflecting your man's immense weaknesses onto Hillary and Obama, you could own up to the fact that he's an embarrassing joke (but I won't hold my breath). “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |
