President Trump

What a pathetic, childish and insecure prick
It’s horrible. But then everyone wastes time writing and talking about this stupid shit. Meantime, the Epstein files stay out of the headlines another day, as do various other sordid deeds. It’s precisely why he does it.
 
No sniggering...

(from Reuters, my emphasis)
UNITED NATIONS, Sept 23 (Reuters) - The United Nations believes it has solved the mystery of why an escalator abruptly stopped shortly after U.S. President Donald Trump stepped onto it on Tuesday - his videographer may have accidentally triggered a safety mechanism.
Trump jokingly complained about the incident during his speech to world leaders earlier on Tuesday after the teleprompter also didn't work.

“These are the two things I got from the United Nations - a bad escalator and a bad teleprompter," he told the 193-member assembly, to some laughter.

However, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt wasn't so lighthearted about it.
“If someone at the U.N. intentionally stopped the escalator as the President and First Lady were stepping on, they need to be fired and investigated immediately,” she posted on X after the incident.
U.N. spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said a readout of the escalator's central processing unit indicated it "had stopped after a built-in safety mechanism on the comb step was triggered at the top of the escalator."
He said Trump's videographer had been traveling backwards up the escalator to capture his arrival with First Lady Melania Trump.


"The videographer may have inadvertently triggered the safety function," Dujarric said in a statement. "The safety mechanism is designed to prevent people or objects accidentally being caught and stuck in or pulled into the gearing."
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the U.N. findings.
On the teleprompter, Trump told the General Assembly on Tuesday: "I can only say that whoever's operating this teleprompter is in big trouble."
However, a U.N. official said the White House had operated its own teleprompter.
After Trump finished speaking, U.N. General Assembly President Annalena Baerbock said: "The U.N. teleprompters are working perfectly."
Just for a second when the escalator stopped and she looks round her mask slipped , wow what a withering look she gave. A view of the real person behind the PR mask.
 
Is he sane? I'm not sure which answer is more scary.

History will remember this time well, and judge him to be the most unstable and US-damaging president of all time, both at home and on a global scale. His cronies will be pursued for the fruits of his misadventure. I just hope middle America wakes up and realises and the damage he can cause is limited as much as possible.

Any attempt by him to alter the rule on serving a third term should be seized upon, and my hope is that the opposition to such a move, and the yellow tape of legalities, would prevent this given it's just three years until he's out. Let's see if he enacts operation spoiled arsehole to leave the white house in flames when he goes, I guess that largely depends on how much Americans fight back against not just trump but his party and policies.
 
Depends where you go.
Very true, but we want to get to norway, not so easy anymore as an englishman. My wife has an irish grandparent so she has no issues. So it's residents permit and work permits for me. If I manage to find a job, the company have to prove they can't fill that role with a norwegian citizen.
