On Thursday, Speaker of the House of Commons John Bercow doubled down on his view that Trump should not be allowed to address lawmakers in the historic Westminster Hall during an official visit to the United Kingdom. Trump has still not earned the right and does not deserve the honor, Bercow reportedly said at a Queen Mary University London event.
“An invitation to address both Houses of Parliament is not a bauble to be handed out by the prime minister of the day,” said Bercow, per the Press Association news agency. “It is not a government prerogative; that is a matter for the speakers of the two Houses.”
In February, Bercow vowed to block Trump from speaking before Parliament, an honor which was afforded to former President Barack Obama in 2011. An address by a foreign leader to Parliament was “not an automatic right&rd... less

During a White House meeting Trump demanded to know why he should accept immigrants from "****hole countries" rather than people from places like Norway.

It depends on how low this country has already sank as far as what he has to offer and what she has to offer.Do we care about the planet or do we care about a wall that does nothing but cause hate and fear?Do we want the rich to share what they steal? Or do we want the poor to keep paying through the ass?
She may be a better, more humane alternative, but would she be the choice of a people determined to suppress the real conflicts at the heart of the country?

She said she has zero respect for either of them.Handler made her views about the President clear, saying he was “the grossest” and she would tell him to “f*ck off” if he was in the room.When asked about whether she would have the First Lady on her show in a video interview with Variety, she said: “Melania? To talk about what? She can barely speak English!”Of course Handler is a comedian so she might be joking. For the record, Ms Trump is multilingual and can speak English, Slovenian, French, Italian, and German.This is by no means the first time Handler has taken aim at the First Lady. She poked fun at her accent several times during the presidential campaign.“Trump said Melania w... less

Even though I am well-known for the sensitivity and politically correct tactfulness that I display on a regular basis (hey, don’t laugh!), there is another reason that I didn’t laugh when our president was standing in front of the United Nations reading like your nephew giving his Easter speech:I believe Donald Trump can’t read.Maybe “can’t” is too harsh a word. I think he struggles with multisyllabic words. This isn’t something I recently came up with when he was embarrassing the entire country in front of world leaders like he was taking an oral exam for a book he read on the way to class. I’ve known about his semiliteracy for years, but I think it’s time I outlined my well-researched list of reasons I believe this to be true.1. He’s RacistWe can debate whether or not Donald Trump is a wh... less

But they didn't say why it was obsolete. I was on Wolf Blitzer, very fair interview, the first time I was ever asked about NATO, because I wasn't in government. People don't go around asking about NATO if I'm building a building in Manhattan, right?” Trump said to the AP, according to a full transcript published late Sunday.“So they asked me, Wolf ... asked me about NATO, and I said two things. ‘NATO's obsolete’ — not knowing much about NATO, now I know a lot about NATO — NATO is obsolete, and I said, ‘And the reason it's obsolete is because of the fact they don't focus on terrorism.’ You know, back when they did NATO, there was no such thing as terrorism,” Trump continued.ADVERTISEMENTThe 67-year-old North Atlantic Treaty Organization does in... less
