    Trump struggled to read US constitution, expose says: 'It's like a foreign language'
    President reportedly blames others in room for difficulties

    Donald Trump struggled to read aloud the US constitution, a new book claims.

    The incident, according to reporters Philip Rucker and Carol Leonnig, came during filming for an HBO documentary in which living presidents, as well as judges and lawmakers, read from the historic document.

    Stumbling over the text, Mr Trump allegedly blamed people in the room for his mistakes and complained: “It’s like a foreign language.”

    The revelation, detailed in Mr Rucker’s and Ms Leonnig’s A Very Stable Genius, comes just days after the US president appeared to stumble and slur his way through a scripted address about the Iran crisis.

    Among many false claims and exaggerations, Mr Trump told Iran its "campaign of terror, murder, mayhem, will not be 'tolerited' any longer".

    Named after Mr Trump’s self-declared intellectual brilliance, the book, excerpts of which have been published by The Washington Post, reveals his litany of missteps and willingness to break long-standing norms since becoming president in 2017.

    According to the authors, Mr Trump barely knew of Pearl Harbor, wrongly told Indian president Narendra Modi his country did not border China, and asked the State Department to help him change a law banning Americans from bribing foreign officials for business deals.

    It's fairly obvious Trump is a narcissist. Never was this on greater display for all to see then when he said, "I love the poorly educated"
    Even this though was yet another Trump lie. He really should have said, " I love the moronically stupid "

    I think all people who run for President are narcissists. But Trump is certainly at the top of that list. It is literally all about him every day of the week.

    America’s European allies no longer believe Trump’s ‘apoplectic’ threats

    European allies are no longer taking angry threats from President Donald Trump all that seriously.

    The U.S. president reportedly flew into an “apoplectic” rage in a phone call with British prime minister Boris Johnson, who agreed to a deal with Chinese telecoms company Huawei despite Trump’s threats to withdraw from an intelligence-sharing agreement, reported Business Insider.

    Other allies in Europe are also ignoring Trump’s threats over Huawei.

    Angela Merkel’s Christian Democrats in Germany seem poised to reject a ban on the company, saying “state actors with sufficient resources can infiltrate the network of any equipment maker.”


    Germany move came after Trump failed to follow through on his threats against the U.K., and even the U.S. president’s allies are calling the effort a failure.

    “The biggest strategic defeat for the United States since the early days of World War II,” complained Newt Gingrich, the former Republican House speaker.

    Yeah right, and the Europeans should know too; they have always done such a bang-up job defending themselves in the past. Maybe they should put the French generals in charge this time around. :rolleyes:

    Trump's weakness as a leader comes as surprise to no one.
