Please tell me someone else has read the leaked phone call transcripts this morning.

Just so much cringe worthiness. Did he call himself the greatest person in the world? I'm on my phone or I'd post some quotes, both phone calls were just crazy. I guess Mexico really isn't paying for the wall, lol.

The best part is talking about how he won New Hampshire (he didn't) because it's a drug infested den (uhhh what?). The transcript is just further proof of how deeply mentally ill he really is. The admitting he needs political cover because Murica is definitely paying for the Wall should cost him the cult, instead they'll pivot to they gladly want to pay for it.

Well, Canada is no problem – do not worry about Canada, do not even think about them. That is a separate thing and they are fine and we have had a very fair relationship with Canada. It has been much more balanced and much more fair. So we do not have to worry about Canada, we do not even think about them.

That should help our negotiating team!

In terms of security, Mr. President, it is clear that organized crime is just as much our enemy as it is the enemy of your administration.

Trump

Enrique, you and I have to knock it out – you and I have to knock the hell out of them. Listen, I know how tough these guys are – our military will knock them out like you never thought of, we will work to help you knock them out because your country does not want that. Your citizens are being killed all over the place, your police officers are being shot in the head, and your children are being killed. And we will knock them out.
Is he suggesting sending the US military into Mexico to deal with criminals? That's bonkers.

Good. I want you to be so popular that your people will call for a constitutional amendment in Mexico so that you can run again for another six years.

Peņa Nieto

You are very kind, Mr. President. And really, the only thing I am interested in for both of our nations to do well – for your government, for you, and for us to truly have a relationship with friendship and a very constructive relationship, Mr. Trump.


Trump

You know, we should put that in the statement. Your words are so beautiful. Those are beautiful words and I do not think I can speak that beautifully, okay? It would be great to put those words at the end of the statement. Really nice though.
get a room!

"Trump set to embark on 1st vacation since inauguration"

"Trump is due to set out Friday on his first extended vacation from Washington since the inauguration — a 17-day getaway to his private golf club in central New Jersey."

Maybe North Korea launches the missiles while Trump is putting on 6.

Advisor: "Mr. President, something urgent is happening. We need to talk."
Trump: "It's going to have to wait. I can sink this."
Advisor: "It's really important!"
Trump: "Shut up! You're fired!"

Man those WaPo transcripts of Trumps Mexico and Australia calls.. If anyone needed any more proof about Trumps narcissism, it's all about him. He expects other COUNTRIES to do stuff for him because if they don't it'll make him look bad.

So much skilled negotiating, lol.

C'mon... he's the leader of the free world. If these countries want to be part of the free world, they need to suck up to him and do things to show their support.

That's how it works...Right?

Phone transcripts:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/graph...=.220f271d6237

DT: I want a great relationship with Mexico. In the latest election, I won with a large percentage of Hispanic voters. I do not know if you heard, but with Cuba, I had 84 percent, with the Cuban-American vote. But overall generally, I had well over 30 percent and everyone was shocked to see this. I understand the community and they understand me, and I have a great respect for the Mexican people.

DT: Well, Canada is no problem – do not worry about Canada, do not even think about them. That is a separate thing and they are fine and we have had a very fair relationship with Canada. It has been much more balanced and much more fair. So we do not have to worry about Canada, we do not even think about them.

DT: I won New Hampshire because New Hampshire is a drug-infested den.

DT: But you cannot say anymore that the United States is going to pay for the wall. I am just going to say that we are working it out. Believe it or not, this is the least important thing that we are talking about, but politically this might be the most important talk about.

i thought those transcripts were pretty refreshing. Especially the Australian PM trying to help him out.

I found it interesting that Turnbull can outright say he accepted this many Syrians in which 90% of them were Christians and therefore not troublemakers.

Turnbull: This is exactly what we have done with the program to bring in 12,000 Syrian refugees, 90% of which will be Christians.

DT: I do not understand. This is going to kill me. I am the world’s greatest person that does not want to let people into the country.

DT: You have brokered many a stupid deal in business and I respect you, but I guarantee that you broke many a stupid deal. This is a stupid deal. This deal will make me look terrible.

DT: As far as I am concerned that is enough Malcom [sic]. I have had it. I have been making these calls all day and this is the most unpleasant call all day. Putin was a pleasant call. This is ridiculous.

These guys are not in that league. They are economic refugees.

TRUMP
Okay, good. Can Australia give me a guarantee that if we have any problems – you know that is what they said about the Boston bombers. They said they were wonderful young men.

TURNBULL
They were Russians. They were not from any of these countries.

TRUMP
They were from wherever they were.

After reading the Mexican and Australian transcripts, the one transcript I really want to read is Trump and Merkel. Can you imagine that one? Trump will be his usual Dump self, but Merkel would have to toe the diplomacy line with combining it with wanting to be straightforward in calling him an idiot.
