Trump Walks...but What Did He Say?
How do you read this one?
Did he:
A) Decide he wanted to walk away from the reporters' questions?
B) Suddenly realised he needed to be somewhere else?
C) Forget why he was in the room in the first place?

From the expression on his face as Pence tries to stop him, I'm thinking it's A, but I can't be sure.
Can anyone work out what he said (lip-reading)?

So the general consensus is that he didn't want to answer any further questions, so left without the things he was supposed to sign.
Logic dictates that if this were the reason, he would've picked up his executive order, motioned to his VP and assistants, thanked the press and say, "We now have things to get on with".
As it is, he blind-sided every, and just stalked off.
I'm beginning to love Trump.
He's like a great big cartoon character.

Even supposing this defence of Trump is (partly) accurate, it still fails because the whole point of his campaign was that he is *not* a normal politician. If he behaves just as badly as the rest of them, then what was the point of electing someone who was also inexperienced, an outside, and grossly incompetent? Not to mention blatantly using the office to advance his family's business interests.
Still, tune in next week for another exciting chapter in "Naomi defends the indefensible by casually dodging the actual criticism or other inventive evasion tactics!"

Of course you aren't, and of course you don't. I suspect that's why you like Trump.
Sadly there's not much evidence that anyone who supported Trump has quite "got it" yet. Maybe they never will. Anyone who's been had, conned so deeply as his supporters have been, will struggle to admit the truth to themselves.
There was an interesting piece in the New York Times this morning, for example, that highlighted how deeply Trump's proposed budget cuts threatened the very people who supported him (and, not incidentally, might allow him to afford tax cuts for the well-off). Here's the thing, though -- some of those realised this obvious truth, and were shocked, surprised and disheartened that the budget cuts were on the table, and *still* believed and trusted in Trump. Littered with examples like these:
"Why is building a wall more important than educating people?” asked Billy Hinkle, a Trump voter who is enrolled in a program called Tulsa WorkAdvance..."
"Another Trump supporter in the program, Tarzan Vince, put it this way: 'If he’s preaching jobs, why take away jobs?'"
" Rhonda McCracken ... who voted for Trump ... is aghast that one of Trump’s first proposals is to cut federal funds that sustain the organization [that helped her and her son escape domestic abuse ]."
As Trump himself once said, he could probably gun someone down in the street and lose no support. He really is indefensible -- but I'm sure you won't stop trying anyway.

Jim, this question, like many others here on the subject of Trump, comes across, to me at least, as spiteful in the extreme. It’s nonsense designed only to generate yet more hatred – and just like a bunch of schoolyard bullies, you, SP, Mikey, and others take every opportunity to stick the boot in. No stone is left unturned in your quest. Trump is far from perfect and nor is he ideal, but as I’ve said before, I will defend anyone I think is on the receiving end of unjustified criticism. For example, although in the current climate I’m very pleased the State of Israel exists, a few days ago I spoke against the injustice the Palestinians suffered with the foundation of Israel. That brought a few raised eyebrows too, but I absolutely abhor the spitefulness of witch hunts – and that is exactly what this is. Now you might not understand where I’m coming from – and having read your increasingly bitter posts on this subject I wouldn’t expect you to because you're clearly obsessed with damning the man - but quite frankly I’d rather be me than you.

Spiteful?
Really?
Do you know what Trump said about the Central Park Five?
When he's not talking about grabbing women by their vagina, he's slurring the names of innocent people.
He deserves everything he gets.
He's a politician. He's fair game.
He's said some really quite unpleasant things about many different people.
He...is...fair...game.
Spiteful...psh.

I can understand why today's educated class hates Trump. It is impossible for it not to. What I can't understand is that same class's total unconcern about the "achievements" of his predecessor, the miseries they have already wrought in the Middle East and North Africa, and the future dangers they have created. Speaking of the latter I mean, of course, giving (in effect) nukes to the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Iran is the world's biggest sponsor of terrorism, ahead, even, of Saudi and Qatar. There will be an orthodox rationale for a policy which the simple-minded like me might think insanely evil. I look forward to Jim's presenting it.

Garaman, //are you suggesting that someone shouldn't comment on the president walking out of a signing ceremony as that would be spiteful?//
I didn’t say that and the OP is not a ‘comment on the president walking out of a signing ceremony’. It’s a deliberate attempt to encourage ridicule.
SP, //Spiteful? Really?//
Yes, really.
