“The recent US-EU trade talks between Jean-Claude Juncker and Donald Trump have reportedly involved the former using some fairly unusual supplements to get his point across.” CARTOON/Sputnik International
it’s said
with children,
you act like children
so European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker
acted like a baby when he met Baby President Donald Trump
to make him understand
the harmful effects of trade war
when tariffs were imposed on each other’s goods
Juncker used simple bright colored flashcards
numbering less than two dozen
with minimum words and no more than three figures per card
a senior European Union (EU) official was defensive:
“We knew this wasn’t an academic seminar,”
“[so] it had to be very simple”
Trump is an educated idiot
who prefers memos comprising of a single-page
and understands better through graphs, maps, photos, charts
Trump rarely accepts that things can be complicated
“nobody knew healthcare could be so complicated”
to make him read
National Security Council (NSC) officials
strategically placed Trump’s name in
“as many paragraphs as we can
because he keeps reading if he’s mentioned”
this Baby President has a giant ego
it has to be constantly pampered
he’s always number one
Alice Lee Roosevelt Longworth
once affectionately said about her father
President Theodore Roosevelt:
“My father wants to be the corpse at every funeral,
the bride at every wedding and the baby at every christening.”
Trump is no different
also, he hasn’t yet noticed
that the person he hates vehemently
former president Barack Obama
(of course, for his color)
has his first name initial B
preceding Donald Trump’s D
and his last name initial O
preceding Trump’s T
otherwise he would have changed the ordering of the English alphabets
the new version would start with TD instead of AB:
T D A C E F G H I J K L M N P Q R S U V W X Y Z B O
