      He hates being at the White House, with all the rules and procedures that have to be followed there. He’d much prefer to engage in open corruption without all that red tape.

        Actually, it’s because it’s the weekend and he’s spent 9 of the last 10 of them (since resoiling the White House) at his shitty golf course. Wonder why DOGE isn’t saying shit about $26 million being spent on these little excursions?

        He’s plenty happy breaking laws and being corrupt in DC.

      The current president is both a little sneaky and a bit naive, who thinks reasoning and a little oiling up can sway the big swindler

          Thinking he’ll convert Trump is naive. But it’s true he could be kissing the ring for actually wanting to appease him. Anyway a slimy guy

            There is zero chance he’s kissing the ring. And I agree thinking he would convert Trump would be naive, but I don’t think that was it either.

            Generally speaking, the last person the orange fascist speaks with gets his attention for X amount of time. He was either doing that about something very specific, or possibly it was more of an intelligence operation, finding out what the fascist’s next step around a specific issue is.

            Anyway that’s based on knowing Alexander fairly well. But, it could also be the other European leaders said to him “hey man, we did our trip to that asshole, now it’s your turn!” (the last guess is from my wife, who knows him a bit better/longer than me).
