Loyola Marymount University

Los Angeles, California

Judy Woodruff (PBS): Good evening and welcome to the sixth Democratic debate, the first to be held on the West Coast. This debate can be seen live on all PBS stations and is being simulcast on CNN, CNN International, and CNN En Español.  A reminder to the candidates, I’m going to ask each of you— prior to your first reply to a moderator’s question-- to tell us all how you are identifying today and what your preferred pronouns are. 

Senator Warren let’s start with you.

Sen. Warren: Native Amer—sorry, habit. Cis-female. She and her.

Woodruff: Sen. Warren, I haven’t asked a question yet.

Warren: Sorry.

Woodruff: Sen. Warren. Can you further expound on your Medicare-for-All Plan?

Warren: Yes, I am for Medicare-for-All. Including undocumented immigrants. And animals. I would also lower the age to qualify for Social Security disbursements to 42.

Tim Alberta (Politico): Former Vice-President Biden, what would you do to quell the growing problem of domestic violence?

Biden: Biden. Cis-male. He and him. As the only white male in this field, I say we need to kill domestic violence. Just slaughter the hell out of it, baby! (Makes punching gestures).

Alberta: Mr. Biden, there are several other white males in the field. Be that as it may, since you yourself used the term ‘baby,’ what were your feelings when you found out that your son Hunter is, ‘with scientific certainty,’ the father of another woman’s baby, a baby born while he was dating his dead brother’s widow?

Biden: Watch it, Alberta, don’t you effing go there, you classless puke!

Woodruff: Alrighty then, over to you Sen. Sanders.

Sen. Sanders: (Startled) Kill the rich! Oops, sorry, must’ve dozed off there for a moment.

Woodruff: No problem. Sen. Sanders, like Sen. Warren, you have talked of dramatically raising taxes on the rich and on businesses to fund social and environmental programs. Some say this isn’t feasible and could damage the economy. Your reply?

Sanders: Male. He and his. If we punish all the wealthy, productive asshats we can finally achieve LBJ’s Great Society. We just have to spend more than we have so far. We’ve only coughed up a few trillion dollars here, a few more trillion there…hardly worth mentioning.

Alberta: Mayor Buttigieg, you’ve pledged to significantly increase the share of businesses in the U.S. run by minorities. Yet, only about 3% of businesses in the city you manage, South Bend, are reportedly run by minorities. How do you respond?

Mayor Buttigieg: Gay. Proud. Proud gay! Male. He and his, I guess. I will dramatically raise taxes on businesses run by straight white males while giving massive subsidies to start-ups run by members of the LGBTQIIA+ community.

Alberta: Interesting… if not ethical. Or legal.

Woodruff: Senator Klobuchar, Senator Harris had to remove herself from the race recently due to a lack of funds and other issues that plagued her campaign. Do you see a realistic path to the nomination for yourself?

Sen. Klobuchar: Cis-female. She and her. You know, Judy, Minnesotans have a reputation for being mavericks. People in my state voted for Mondale in ’84. They elected Jesse “The Body” Ventura and Rudy Perpich as governors. And, more recently, they elected Ilhan Omar to Congress. But I have to tell you, I think I’m actually the sane one in this group on stage tonight. I’m hoping the American people feel that way, too. So, yes I do see a realistic path to the nomination.

Alberta: Mr. Yang, you have publicly accused NBC of turning off your microphone and giving you short shrift in the last debate. Do you still believe that? And, if so, why do you think they did that?

Mr. Yang: Cis-male. He and his. Well, Tim, look at how they covered up the allegations against Weinstein. They clearly have biases. Frankly, I think they protect Jews and despise Asians. Moreover, I believe—

Woodruff: Mr. Steyer, over to you now. As a billionaire, are you offended by Sen. Warren’s and Sen. Sanders’ obvious disdain for people of your ilk?

Mr. Steyer: Cis-male. He, him, his, etc. No, I am not. I hate successful folks just as much as they do. I wouldn’t mind paying a tax rate of 100%-- or more—on my investments.

Alberta: Sen. Sanders, you signed on to Sen. Booker’s call for the debate qualification standards to be lowered again for the upcoming January and February debates. As did all of your fellow candidates. Why?

Sanders: Well, I can’t speak for my colleagues, but, personally, I’ve never believed in standards. Arbitrary standards play into the capitalist merit-based system which is inherently evil and exclusionary!

Yang: And they’re racist!

Warren: And sexist!

Buttigieg: And homophobic!

Klobuchar: And anti-Minnesotan!

Steyer: And xenophobic!

Biden: And, umm, ageist!

Woodruff: How are they ageist, Mr. Biden?

Biden: Biden. Cis-male. He and him. What was the question?

Woodruff: You said standards are ageist. What do you mean by that? Can you give us an example?

Biden: You bet your bippy, I can! Like when I sniff a young girl’s hair or let a kid play with the hair on my legs, I take crap for it. Haters say that it’s ‘creepy’ or just not right…or that I’m too old to be acting that way.

Woodruff: You’ve got a point there. Well, that will rap it up for tonight--

Muhammad Now Among Ten Most Popular Baby Names In America

                For the first time ever, “Muhammad” (and its derivations) has made the list of the top ten most popular baby names for boys in the United States. 2019 saw a significant overall rise in the popularity of Arabic names, including “Aaliyah,” which supplanted Layla for tenth place on the list of most popular girl’s names. “Muhammad” has had an amazing 29% jump in frequency this year alone, according to BabyCenter, an online media company based in San Francisco that provides information on conception, pregnancy, birth, and early childhood development.

                The Johnsons, Smiths, Ericksons, Whites, Blacks, and Andersons, et. al., that used to populate the country are dying out, going the way of the Passenger Pigeon. The “Old Fart” hats, flannel shirts, work ethic and selflessness that were the hallmarks of the “Greatest Generation” will soon be relics of the past, lost to history forever.  

Some Western nation’s fertility rates have dropped below replacement level. Some of those same nations are awash in immigrants, illegal or otherwise, the vast majority of whom hail from North Africa or the Middle East. Much of Europe has already been significantly Islamicized. Several nations in the European Union have experienced rapid increases in violent crime, female genital mutilation and anti-Semitism.

America is pathetically and blithely following Europe down the same parlous path. The few folks courageous enough to try to prevent the death of a nation are slandered and called racists, bigots, white supremacists, xenophobes…and worse.

The Arabic script is on the wall. Unless things change dramatically, Inshallah, we will all be Muhammads and Aaliyahs soon.

Caliphate? Call it fate.

Senator Rand Paul's Annual Waste Report

Senator Rand Paul recently came out with his annual “Waste Report,” showing how the federal government treats taxpayers as a baby treats a diaper. Or, for the squeamish, as Michael Moore treats a jelly donut.

Topping the list is $48 billion in improper Medicaid and Medicare payments. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) spent $582 billion on Medicare alone during fiscal year 2018, making it the second most expensive program after Social Security. Misallocating over 8% of those dollars should be concerning. The fact that the Government Accountability Office (GAO) has termed the CMS a “High Risk Program” every year since 1990 should be shocking and unacceptable. $48 billion in fraud and incompetence? Fool me once, shame on you, fool me 29 consecutive times, shame on me.

Not to be outdone, the Los Angeles school district siphoned off a cool $158 million in school lunch money to purchase lawn sprinklers and pay the salaries of employees at a local television station. Nice lawns and T.V.? It is L.A. after all! And the schools will get the lunch money back via the next levy referendum, anyway. Now, on to my favorite spending atrocities!

Uncle Sam spent $250,000 to teach Pakistani kids English… at Space Camp and Dollywood. I’m not sure why these locations were picked. Maybe Magic Kingdom and Epcot Center were booked up.

Half a million dollars went to the National Science Foundation to see if taking “selfies” makes one “happier.” Funding this “study” doesn’t make taxpayers “happier,” of that we can be sure. I will never think of “science” the same way again.

But that’s not all. The self-same National Science Foundation also received $450,000 to develop a “climate change video game.” For what possible reason? Do players control a person running around shooting cows and breaking into people’s houses to turn their air-conditioning off? This is precisely as pointless as believing we can control Earth’s actual climate, though it might make Greta Thunberg slightly less angry.

According to the report, $29 million worth of heavy equipment was “lost” in Afghanistan. How? It is not exactly a wet, impenetrable jungle. There are few lakes, and no tall dense foliage, just sand and rubble as far as the eye can see.

The federal government also spent $356,000 to determine if and how cocaine contributes to risky sexual behavior… in quails… as well as $466,991 to study the mating calls of frogs. (I wish this was “fake news,” but it is all too true). I’m sorry, but I just can’t consider these expenditures critical. What difference does it make how cocaine affects quail? The only time they will ever come in contact with it is when Uncle Sam acts as their candy man. Who decided to coke-up the quails but not the frogs? Also, what were the (mad) “scientists” expecting to learn about frog’s mating calls? That males use timeworn lines such as, “Ribbit! Oh yeah, baby! Squeak! You got it goin’ on! Croak! Love those hind legs and your sexy webbed feet! Chirp! The things you could do with that tongue, sugar-babe! Grrutt, grrruttt, grrruttt! Wanna come back to my pad for a couple of BUD---WISE---ERS? Ribbit!” 

The Fall Edition of Sen. Paul’s Waste Report notes that the federal government spent $84,000 of the money it took from taxpayers to pay iconic musician Bob Dylan for a statue to be placed at the American embassy in…Mozambique, $500,000 for an unused toilet, and, incredibly, $22 million to bring Serbian cheese up to international standards. Because, honestly, is there a more pressing issue than mildly inadequate Serbian cheese?

The federal government of the United States spends a mind-boggling $4 trillion annually… and rising. There is no transparency, no visibility, no accountability and no concern about those who foot this mother of all bills.

Once upon a time there was the Boston Tea Party, a political protest and minor act of rebellion over a relatively inconsequential tax on the colonists’ tea, one which occurred after England had repealed several of the other taxes the soon-to-be Americans found unjust.

Not all climate change is bad. Indeed, it is time for a change of climate in America right now. We need to stop imitating sheep and channel our inner colonist, our innate rebel, and tell those in the federal government to stop lighting their figurative Cuban cigars with the actual hundred-dollar bills they have taken from us. It is time to demand fiscal sanity.

After all, if not us, who? If not now, when?

               

Anti-Muslim Backlash?

                The aftermath of the latest terror attack committed by Islamic extremists was utterly predictable. After 21-year-old Mohammed Alshamrani killed three and wounded eight members of the U.S. navy at the Pensacola Air Station recently, mainstream media outlets immediately noted that local Muslims were totally shocked and devastated by the attack, and were also living in abject fear of an anti-Muslim backlash. This is specious, as, no matter how many acts of Islamic terrorism occur, anti-Muslim backlashes seldom—if ever—result. This fact in no way discourages those truth-seekers in the mainstream media, however, as they always promptly set off on a hunt for the elusive backlashes as soon as the next bomb vest goes off, gay bar is shot up, or skyscraper comes crashing down.

               Clearly these are very forgiving times, at least to criminals. We have become a kinder, gentler nation to terrorists-- and assorted others who wish us grievous harm. You wouldn’t have seen any of the following headlines adorn American newspapers in yesteryear:

*”Japanese Fear Anti-Japanese Backlash After Pearl Harbor Attack”

*”Germans Fear Anti-Aryan Backlash For V-2 Bomb Attacks On London Civilians”

*”British Fear Anti-Brit Backlash After Lexington And Concord”

*”Manson Family Fears Anti-Manson Family Backlash After Recent Murders”

               There are many good and decent Muslims, be they American citizens or not. In truth however, only a tiny percentage ever really speak out against crimes such as this. If the circumstances were reversed, the press in largely Muslim nations would happily, righteously report the death of the American perpetrator…perhaps by stoning or beheading. No one would worry about an “anti-American backlash.” No one ever does.

               It should not come as a surprise to Muslims that some would assume a “backlash” might occur following yet another heinous act of Islamic terrorism. The real shock is that it doesn’t.

Alyssa Milano Appalled At Trump's Inappropriate Remarks

                Hollywood actress, Trump hater, left-wing activist, and aspiring rocket scientist Alyssa Milano took to Twitter recently to bemoan the fact that she had to make her 8-year-old son leave the room while the news aired a clip of President Trump talking about disgraced former FBI lawyer Lisa Page. Milano was likely referring to a moment at an October rally when Trump improvised an impassioned chat between Page and her similarly disgraced lover, fellow agent Peter Strzok, with whom she carried on an extramarital affair. The ever-classy Milano, star of such classic movies as “Mistresses,” “Insatiable,” and “Alyssa Milano Sex Tape,” noted that it was “so unfair to parents” that Trump’s improv was not G-rated.

                Milano’s actual tweet read, “It’s f*cking upsetting that I can’t allow my son to listen to our president because our president is inappropriate, misogynistic, and unpresidential.” Except there was no asterisk in place of the second letter in the second word of her tweet berating the president’s “inappropriate” language.

                Milano is not very effing good at recognizing hypocrisy.

                Others chimed in, blasting the president for his slightly off-color remarks. “Miss Prissy,” a.k.a. “The California Coochie,” a popular porn star who has made over 100 adult movies, tweeted: “It’s sad when I can’t even let my bleeping 16-year-old daughter listen to the effing president ‘cuz he says so much motherf**king, unacceptable, inappropriate shit.” She added, “And he, like, demeans women and shit.”

                John Kerry simply opined: “F**kin’ sad.”

                Rep. Rashid Tlaib was even terser, tweeting: “Mothereffer.”

                Joe Biden, on the campaign trail, remarked: “It’s a big f*cking deal if kids can’t listen to their president. I like kids. I like them sitting on my lap.”

                I am sure Alyssa and her fellow Trump-haters are equally appalled at the many extramarital affairs that JFK conducted, LBJ’s penchant for “letting it all hang out” in front of reporters and followers, and Bill Clinton’s extramarital abuse of a young intern while on the phone in the Oval Office, all of which actions were, by any measure, orders of magnitude more “inappropriate” than anything Trump has done.

                So, Alyssa, turn down your rap music and turn off your movies. Your indignation is severely misplaced.

 And that is f*cking upsetting.

Rep. Al Green Says Trump Must Be Impeached To Deal With Slavery

                Rep. Al Green (D-Texas), a lawyer-- and proof that the 9^th district of Texas should have stayed with Mexico-- was recently interviewed by Alex Witt, on her MSNBC show, “Weekends with Alex Wittless." Sorry, “Weekends with Alex Witt.” The topic, naturally, was the upcoming impeachment of President Donald J. Trump. Green remarked: “I do believe, ma’am, that we have to deal with the original sin. We have to deal with slavery. Slavery was the thing that put all of what President Trump has done lately into motion. It’s insidious… racism. The president has played on racism and he’s used that as a weapon to galvanize a base of support to mobilize people.” He added: “We cannot overlook what happened when he came down the escalator and just demeaned people of color when he talked about the s-hole countries. He has found a way to use ugly words to his benefit and to the detriment of the people who are the object of his words.”

                This begs the question, WTF? Trump “came down the escalator” and “talked about the s-hole countries?” He didn’t make the “s-hole” remark until two years after he “came down the escalator,” an event which, apparently, is akin to Adam and Eve partaking of the Forbidden Fruit in the minds of Never-Trumpers. I guess that accounts for Green’s “original sin” remark.

                 Green previously stated: “I’m concerned If we don’t impeach this president, he will get re-elected.” There you have it: the Democrats real motivation in a nutshell. Nice to know that every future president will be impeached by the House or full Congress if they don’t agree with his or her policies, demeanor…or hair color. Kiss this formerly democratic republic goodbye. Green is also on the record stating that the House should impeach Trump multiple times if the Senate declines to convict him. Just keep impeaching the S.O.B. until he’s removed from office one way or another, the people be damned.

                Forget high crimes and misdemeanors. Green actually said that Trump must be impeached “to deal with slavery,” a remark that also begs the question, “WTF?” Abraham Lincoln, a Republican president, freed the slaves in 1863, 156 years ago, via the Emancipation Proclamation, against virulent opposition from Democrats. If a president was to be impeached “to deal with slavery,” it should have been prior to 1860. Or, failing that, Democrat Woodrow Wilson should have been removed from office for his overtly racist beliefs and actions.

                If Trump is impeached “to deal with slavery,” every future president will be impeached in order “to deal with the Indian situation,” “to deal with the War of 1812,” “to deal with Shay’s Rebellion,” or “to deal with the AIDS epidemic,” etc., etc., etc.

               

Portland To Mandate "Rest Spaces" For The "Unhoused" On Private Property

                The city of Portland, Oregon, is preparing a regulation that would potentially require all new homeowners to provide “rest spaces” for the homeless, or the “unhoused,” as the politically correct now refer to them. The city’s “planning and sustainability commission,” the body responsible for writing and enforcing Portland’s building codes, recently approved a change to building guidelines that mandates that all new construction feature “opportunities to rest and be welcome” for those who don’t live, work, or shop in the buildings.

                According to the Daily Wire, a member of the commission told local reporters that the new requirement is meant to benefit the “unhoused,” who otherwise could be kicked off of private property for loitering, sleeping, and camping, etc. The member explained, when introducing the measure at a recent meeting, “Just one of the realities of Portland right now is that we have a lot of folks who are unhoused who benefit from some of these spaces that provide weather protection.”

                Another one of Portland’s current realities is that a staggering 34% of its residents want to leave, according to a recent survey, in large part due to the homeless crisis.

                The planning and sustainability commission reportedly considered “how private development can provide places for people to feel welcome and safe, as well as allow space for people to rest, especially in light of our current housing shortage.” A housing shortage, it should be noted, that was created by the city’s hyper-progressive social policies and ridiculously stringent environmental regulations that drove the price of housing through the proverbial roof. The city already refuses to enforce a prohibition on camping and squatting in parks and on public ways and prohibits its police force from breaking up tent cities and other encampments. The new regulation would effectively give the home—I mean the unhoused-- the run of the city, on both public and private land.

                The progressive’s bizarre desire to let anyone live anywhere they want, regardless of logic, legality, income, or character, grows ever stronger. It is not only on a macro scale now as regards illegal aliens entering the country with impunity. Nor is it even limited to “sanctuary cities” on a much smaller scale.  Now they want it to apply to a private business or individual’s home!

                Imagine a young newlywed couple living in an apartment:

   “Honey, I’m home! Say, who’s this?”

   “Oh, that’s Eduardo, dear. He’s camping in our bathr—er, ‘rest space.’ By-the-way, he’s staying for dinner…and would like to watch a movie later. And he says we’re out of beer.”

Britain's Largest Higher Education Union Allows Members To Self-Identify As...Anything

The United Kingdom Universities and Colleges Union, the largest in Great Britain, recently released a statement detailing its “position on trans inclusion.” In it, the UKUCU, which represents 120,000 employees, emphasized its “long history” of allowing members to “self-identify,” whether that is being black, disabled, LGBT+ or women.” The document stresses the union’s effort “to ensure an inclusive approach to gender identities which is [sic] different to that assigned at birth.” It states: “Looking at different experiences of what it means to be woman, or black/disabled/LGBT+, is at the heart of an inter-sectional approach and involves listening and seeking to establish understanding and solidarity in struggle against oppression and discrimination.”

It is highly unlikely “your group” is being discriminated against if it occasions an entire document/manifesto to be proffered in its defense, even if said group is refusing to acknowledge scientific reality. Nor are you being “oppressed” or even “marginalized” if you can get everyone else to dismiss facts and reality in favor of your feelings and emotions.

The UKUCU (actually the UCU officially, but I like the sound of “UKUCU” better) made clear that it supports “a social, rather than a medical, model of gender recognition that will help challenge repressive gender stereotypes in the workplace and in society.” It’s statement also proclaimed, “saying or implying that trans women are really men denies trans women their right to be men.”

There is a right to be a man? Or to be a woman? My God, that is liberating! I was heretofore aware of the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, but not the right to pick your own biological sex. Since governments are gradually taking away our right to life and liberty, and ergo the pursuit of happiness, it’s nice that someone is granting us the right to pick our gender. And race.

I’m sure that some particularly woke progressives also support a “social,” rather than biological model of species recognition, as well. In the struggle against oppression and discrimination, of course. At times it seems there is an inverse relationship between the capabilities of science…and human reason.

But, hey, I’m thrilled to know I have the right to be anyone or anything I like. No more “blinding me with science.” Race. Gender. Species. All just arbitrary constructs. I think I’ll be Kim Kardashian-- or maybe a horse. Or perhaps I’ll just be hung like one.

The joys of self-identification!   

Target Selling Gender Inclusive Gingerbread Sweater

                The biological fact of the existence of two—count them, two—sexes is under attack as never before. As is the idea of a “Gingerbread Man.” For example, Target is selling a “Gender Inclusive Gingerbread Sweater” this holiday season. The sweater is apparently also size inclusive, coming in S-XL and plus sizes. The item features traditional red and green Christmas colors and sports an applique gingerbread person holding a candy cane and is made from 100 percent acrylic fibers. What makes the gingerbread figures on these sweaters “gender inclusive” is anybody’s guess.

                Moreover, The New York Post reports that an Auckland, New Zealand, café called The Tannery is selling “GingerBread Gender-Neutral Person” cookies. Those who have long dreamt of eating gender-neutral biscuits can purchase them for just $2.50 apiece. It is not known whether these prospective confectionery consumers will be required to address the cookies by their preferred pronouns.

                In other gender-neutral news, Mattel, maker of Barbie (and Ken) dolls, introduced “gender-neutral Barbie” back in September, hoping to appease the LGBTQ+ crowd. To no avail. Alex Myers, a trans writer, penned an op-ed for Slate in which he said he was “deeply skeptical” of Mattel’s business decision and motives. He panned the new small plastic toy person, saying, “On a basic level, the doll falls far short of actually embodying or even representing a nonbinary identity.” Myers doesn’t even like the marketing nomenclature, claiming that trans people don’t use the term “gender-neutral,” preferring instead the terms “gender-fluid,” or “genderqueer,” or “nonbinary,” or “nonconforming.”

Neither was he fond of the doll’s lack of genitalia, writing: “The bodily blankness erases so much of what the discussions — personal and political — about gender focus on,” and adding that “These dolls depict a sterile version of the very real and distinct bodies that trans people still have. Even though they refuse to adhere to sexual norms, a trans woman still has a very real penis, and some trans men have scars where their breasts used to be.” He noted, “These dolls do not have bodies that are like ours; these dolls do not have bodies that society reads in a gendered way at all. That sort of misses the entire point."

Wait, I thought that was the point.

 Moreover, saying “a trans woman still has a very real penis” is akin to stating, “an invertebrate still has a very real spine.” No, it doesn’t. And no, “she” doesn’t…because, if “she” sports “a very real penis,” “she” is not a “she” just because she wants to be.

In point of fact, Gingerbread men/cookies have always been gender-neutral. If they weren’t, parts would have had to be added to them. To my knowledge, no traditional gingerbread cookies have ever sported breasts or a penis. Maybe the woke folks would be happier if the name of these delectables was changed to “Gingerbread Homo Sapiens cookies.”

As for the sweaters, they could be made gender inclusive by the simple act of putting them on. But maybe the manufacturer should make them in “transgender sizes.” There could be a “pangender medium” and a “nanogender XLT,” for example. The possibilities would be endless.

NATO Nation Leaders Mock Trump

 If European leaders (and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau) were indeed “laughing behind President Trump’s back” at the recent North Atlantic Treaty Organization summit as gleefully reported by the mainstream media, it is a sad statement indeed on the mindset of those feckless elites. The current heads of the same countries the U.S. saved—twice-- are now allowing their nations’ history and identity to be stolen out from under them. They are dealing with rising crime, unrest and stagnant economies. By contrast, the U.S., led by a man they believe is a buffoon, has a roaring economy. It has enjoyed all-time-record stock market highs and record-low unemployment. And, its president— the Buffoon-in-Chief-- is trying to protect and defend his nation against those that wish to see it destroyed. That is more than can be said about Monsieur Macron, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, and Frau Merkel of Germany, for example. As for Prime Minstrel Trudeau, Mr. Blackface should be red-faced about nearly being removed from office for his own alleged misconduct. Those who live in glass houses, J.T.

England’s Princess Anne was there, too, nodding along in amusement at Trump’s lack of sophistication, despite the fact that her brother, Prince Andrew, has been implicated in the Jeffrey Epstein scandal as a likely serial abuser of young girls. Talk about a royal…pain in the ass.

It is easy for one to imagine the conversation amongst the effete elite:

“Justin, can you believe Trump said he’d rather have a ‘Coke’ than a glass of Chateau Gruaud Larose?! Have you ever? I mean! Nor did he know the history of the bidet! Tee-hee. And, ‘pay more for our own defense?’ That’s an outrage! What a boor!”

“Giggle. Well, Emmanuel Jean-Michel Frédéric, he probably goes to the bathroom outside! You know those Americans, hah, hah!”

Meanwhile, President Trump spent over two hours gamely fielding questions from journalists covering the summit.

We will see who has the last laugh.
