AnesthesiaMD beat me to it re both Bloomberg and Forbes.

I didn't vote for Trump, but your blind hatred toward Trump puts you on the top level of hate and keeps you, in this instance, from seeing reality.

Now as a dignitary, in this case POTUS, does that title automatically make it inappropriate for such comments? I really don't know. Doesn't matter, because no matter what comes out of Donald's mouth it will be scrutinized and attacked for negativity whether it should be or not. And I am not the biggest Trump fan.
I'm not giving him a pass just because he is Donald Trump, which is essentially your reasoning. This was inappropriate, but more importantly - just stupid. Following the simple rules of basic decorum in an important international setting, as the President of one of the most powerful nations in the world - is just common sense.

Do we lower our standards of decency and public behavior just for Donald Trump? I don't understand why anyone would try to rationalize that this is OK.

Bloomberg lists him as a billionaire, and Michael Bloomberg hates him.

Telling her she’s lovely or something is safe.

He was no doubt holding back his true thoughts... he wonders why a younger man wants an older woman.

Vulgarian.


This.


Reps to you.

Agree with you Dave.
I voted for Trump and I like allot of things he is doing.

This was so tacky.
His wife must of been hurt by this.

Did you notice the Macron grab Melania's arm when Trump said that? As to comfort her.
