Before we get to that, there's this as prologue; Meeting with “Chuck and Nancy” today about keeping government open and working. Problem is they want illegal immigrants flooding into our Country unchecked, are weak on Crime and want to substantially RAISE Taxes. I don’t see a deal! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump)November 28, 2017 Well yeah, that's how to precede an important meeting which is to determine the immediate functionality of the biggest industrial and political entity in the world. Show everybody how serious you are by talking like a 15 yr. old brat on twitter just beforehand. But the other instance of booger-picking and flicking it right on the dinner table, subject of the OP, is this gem; -On Monday, [Trump] stood in front of a portrait of President Andrew Jackson to thank World War II Navajo code talkers, using the opportunity to mock a senator who claimed Cherokee descent, by using a Powhatan name. “I just want to thank you because you’re very, very special people,” Trump said, after a characteristically vague and nearly meaningless description of the role played by the men, who during World War II served in the Marines, using native languages as a code that the Japanese couldn’t break. Then he added: “You were here long before any of us were here, although we have a representative in Congress who, they [sic] say, was here a long time ago. They (meaning Trump himself) call her ‘Pocahontas.’” That is, of course, Trump’s favorite nickname for Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, who described herself as part Cherokee earlier in her career. According to a pool reporter, Trump’s comment was met with silence in the room.- https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/11/trump-pocahontas/546842/ When it comes to effecting change from being the most powerful nation in the world to being the most awkward behemoth in the world, this guy is just killing it. Absolutely getting the job done.
