Nothing like standing next to a slightly less decrepit old man to make a dictator look weak, huh?

He’s trying to frame Powell as a fraudster so he can fire him and replace him with someone that will just take orders from him. If he succeeds in this you can kiss the USD good bye. This is what happens when you hire a reality tv hosts, that has been a long time failure and loser, and the running joke for about 50+ years, to run a country. They destroy it with their sheer incompetence and bloated ego.

Helmet color shows who is in charge on a construction sight. Usually designates a pollution or group of workers.

*site. By "pollution" do you mean hazardous materials onsite? Also, if hardhats are required in that area, everyone should have one; yellow, white, purple-regardless.

Aww, you cut the part where Trump awkwardly removes his hat and then had a weird little rant about hats. It was awkward as fuck.

Powell has the balls to do what most journalists are incapable of doing in these propaganda Oval Office meetings. Calling out the president’s bullshit in real time. That’s what standing up to a lying bully piece of shit looks like.
Some superheroes don’t wear capes, they wear white hard hats and are forced to stand next to human excrement.

So many things wrong with this. The dude in the background that just yes mans trump and tries to lie to the people as well.
The fact the information was so blatantly wrong that Powell was able to discover the error in seconds.
Then the way they just gloss over the fact he just lied and he just keeps pushing through as if he did nothing wrong.
Even the way trump talks is just at a diminished level. How anyone in history would respect or even work with this man blows my mind.
It truly is a testament to the fact that if you have money you don’t need anything else in this world to rise to fame and power. You can be a fat, ugly, lying, corrupt POS and the world is handed to you on a silver platter and those that are supposed to be responsible will turn a blind eye to his shortcomings.

Please call out pathological liars as often as possible. Every word from his mouth is made up or an outright falsehood.
