That is petty and vindictive. duh!

Have you seen President Obama acting that way? Got his pantis in a twist like that? LOL By the way, I am not a president Obama fan, but he certainly never acted like an adult child.
Which is why I suggested that you don't understand the facts, and therefore can't understand the implications. Trump is imagining that the Mayor of a city in a foreign country said some ridiculous things. That Mayor is obviously concerned that the President of the United States is makes such ridiculous, offensive, and false claims because they interfere with efforts to maintain calm after a terrorist attack.

Any rational person would be very concerned about such an unstable, manipulative, lying foreigner with influence spreading similar, damaging propaganda and lies in person. There's nothing vindictive in being wary of an unstable foreign leader.

But I was talking about this



He could have handled the situation a lot better. He appears petty and vindictive.

Just like Trump, by the way.
The quote was from the article you linked to - that was the extent of him calling for the state visit to be cancelled. Not petty, not vindictive, but quite appropriate.

Imagine this scenario. It is several days after 9/11. American is still reeling from this attack. GWB makes a speech in an attempt to calm a shocked nation. Then the President of one of our closest allies goes on Twitter and lies outright about the statement made by GWB, and he does so purely to score political points with his dwindling faction of supporters at home.

Now imagine that said President was set for a roll-out-the-red-carpet state visit with all the bells and whistles. I'm guessing a whole lot of Americans would strenuously object to such a visit by a president who consciously and egregiously lied and attempted to sow dissent in our country for his own political gain in the immediate aftermath of our national tragedy. And I also have little doubt you would be one of them.

Nope, never saw President Obama behave like a spoiled adolescent, but I've seen the guy you support as president do so time and time again. Maybe it's time for him to be on the other end of his childish behavior for a change. Or at the very least, suffer some consequences for behaving like an ass.
