Putin: Donald You Had One Job, Just One and You Screwed That Up

@VP says Montenegro will have US support. See he understands the principle of DEFENSE explicit in Article 5

Mike Pence, in Montenegro, Assures Balkans of U.S. SupportAddressing Balkan leaders in Montenegro, NATO’s newest member, the vice president affirmed America’s commitment to the region’s security.https://nyti.ms/2uk5jgV

Meanwhile, the President says supporting Montenegro will start WW3.

See he doesn't understand, if Montenegro starts a war, which would be an act of AGGRESSION, that's on them. In which case they would not be eligible under Article 5.  Of course he was following one of the assignments he was given  in that 2 hour meeting.

I know, I know, he doesn't like to bone up on things, but might have been good idea before saying this. Just sayin...

Too much to ask for next POTUS??

Too much to ask for next POTUS? Gets his facts from his own administration, not “Fox & Friends.” Hires people with a day, a week, even a month (!) of government experience. Does not churn out insulting nicknames for adversaries.

Doesn’t hire relatives.

Understands that the “trade deficit” is not a bill to be paid.
Keeps the number of lies under, say, 500 for a year.
Is tougher on Russia than on Mexico.
Understands that nnews organizations aren’t “licensed” and are protected by the IstA so they can “write whatever they want.”

Never asked any woman (or man) to sign a nondisclosure agreement.
Reads a book now and then.
Does not single out specific American companies to vilify publicly
Understands not to crow about the stock market.
Never would draw moral equivalence between neo-Nazis and anyone.

Does not malign millions of people, an entire religion or a continent.
Divests of any and all business operations so as not to create even the appearance of a conflict of interest.
Won’t congratulate autocrats on “winning” fake elections or for their extra-judicial killings.

Eating in Peace
