The propaganda arm of this administration is in damage control.

Bolivia President Morales Slams Trump to His Face at UN Security Council

That Bolivian guy needs to learn how to speak.
If you don't say it in English it loses its impact.
Hearing it through translator makes it sound very nerdy and nothing like a "slam".
Criticizing Trump to his face in Bolivian is very weak.

what specifically did you learn in this speech that hasn't been covered in the news?

That's because it exists only in Trump's wee wind-up music-box mind.

I'm sure there will be lots of fact checking going on tonight, lol.

Doesn't answer questions directly on point? How about he doesn't even let people finish asking their questions? He just can't help himself.

What do you care what Trump thinks?

BTW, Trump agrees with me but is giving them a chance to be productive before kicking them out of NYC.

Why are they mutually exclusive? No such thing as an incompetent fascist? Well...there's Rudy....

But there are those who agree with you. Trump is too incompetent to be a fascist.

“He’s too incompetent to be a successful fascist,” said Eliot Cohen, a top State Department official under President George W. Bush, who nonetheless called Trump’s latest remarks “extraordinarily reckless...”

...“We’re dealing with someone with clear authoritarian tendencies,” said Ruth Ben-Ghiat, a New York University history professor and expert on Italian fascist dictator Benito Mussolini. While the United States of today is a very different country than Italy of the 1920s and there is no fascist movement here per se, she suggested that Trump’s behaviors are reminiscent of Mussolini’s...

Is Bolivia one of those countries where people throw shoes during press conferences?

For anyone with a logical mind or a sense of ethics, that was painful to watch. The guy so confabulates his way through and thinks his sociopathy and narcissism are charming. Not to real people. He reminded me of:
  1. A frog in a blender on high speed with the lid off

    OR

  2. An old dry drunk visiting the guys now inhabiting his old watering hole (minus the swearing). And off his prescribed lithium.

Ay! What a mess! Can you say loose associations? And that doesn't even touch upon that chopped salad of "thoughts." Heavy on the cheese.

If you call on people, but don't actually let them ask their questions, then you can pick your rant. Any old rant. And he did, over and over again.

Your Third-World heroes are of little consequence on the world stage. With the exception of Brazil, such leaders have their own domestic crisises that they are feckless at solving.

Selling bowlers and serapes isn't a path to prosperity.
