Trump’s dull day
by digby
Trump held a press conference with outgoing Prime Minister Theresa May today. It was pretty uneventful. He insulted the London Mayor and the labor leader and inappropriately gave his opinions on UK politics. Nothing unusual in that. And he claimed there were only happy Londoners greeting him and no protests when the truth is that there were very few happy greeters and a large number of protesters in the streets. The sign above is a sampling.
The following, however, might have some real consequences:
a telling moment — Trump's (lack of) response to a policy-related question about the National Health Service (NHS) suggests he's not really familiar with what it is pic.twitter.com/KL0DlqTXmn— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) June 4, 2019
This follows the Ambassador’s comments over the weekend saying the same thing. Yikes. His Brexit buddies do NOT want this on their agenda.
I did enjoy this …
WOW — huge boos for Ivanka and John Bolton when they emerge for the news conference!

Sure, they were booing Bolton not Ivanka. They know this. Because they know. Somehow…
