"It's like a dog marking his territory. It makes me very uncomfortable."

I said out loud, watching this:

...and we all know how much jihadis love dogs.

"This is for your wife, how many?"
"One"
"One, with you guys you never know".
Trump has to be the funniest AND doesn't give a damn POTUS ever.

RideSpaceMountain said...

Twain once remarked that “If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and man.”

It shouldn't take long at all till people are reminded that a freshly prosperous al-qaeda dog will still bite no matter how sweetly-masqued his aroma.

Beasts of England said...

He should have given him some Trump Toast.

Grok put Trump in a scenario that will make Ann comfortable so no more crazy dreams

Bijan for men? Bijan for men?

Peachy said...

eee gads. I detest fragrance... department store fragrance. yuck.

RCOCEAN II said...

Trump is hilarious.

Lem Vibe Bandit said...

In fairness. Trump put it on himself first. Doesn't that mean anything?

Iman said...

Shocking.

Bob Boyd said...

Maybe those two guys had some bad BO and Trump was about to have to spend a lot of time with them, so thinking quickly...

RideSpaceMountain said...

@Boyd, Everyone from there stinks, literally AND figuratively...so plausible.

Iman said...

I suspect the odor of camels and goats would be hard to overcome. It appeared to be quite welcomed.

Mason G said...

I don't know... I found it to be more uncomfortable watching Joe Biden sniff the hair of little girls and everybody just went along with it like nothing happened.

Maybe that's just me, though.

Lem Vibe Bandit said...

This was my recollection from the different encounters with Arab men in NYC.

AI: "Yes, Arab men are widely known for their deep appreciation and frequent use of perfume, which is rooted in both religious and cultural traditions. Fragrance in Arab culture is considered a sign of personal hygiene, respect for others, and an essential part of daily life and social interaction, not merely a luxury item."

Iman said...

teh fragrance was welcomed
sons of desert bore fresh scent
balls deep in teh goats

Howard said...

It covers up the smell emanating from his diaper

Bob Boyd said...

According to my sources, that was no ordinary cologne. It was some kind of razoo nanoparticle potion Trump got from Mossad that will...let me put it this way, you've heard of chemical castration? This is chemical circumcision.

Peachy said...

Howard - Biden was not in the room.

Bob Boyd said...

Trump had been given the antidote injection...that's what Mossad told him it was anyway.

D.D. Driver said...

First Gay President.

RideSpaceMountain said...

Mossad and CIA have already figuratively circumcised this camel-skinner Bob, Eau De Bedouin isn't needed to coerce his cooperation.

Iman, that is the best haiku ever! CC, JSM

Effective way to show that Trump has made this terrorist his bitch. CC, JSM

Paul said...

Trump is giving them COVID-10..... wouldn't that be a gas? But seriously.. He is the big shot there and can do that and they just smile... cause he is the big shot and USA is the big country! MAGA!!!

Freder Frederson said...

You all do realize that Ahmed al-Sharaa joined Al Qaeda in 2003, fought (against the U.S. obviously) in Iraq for three years, when he was captured and imprisoned by the Americans. So there is a pretty good chance that he has actually killed American soldiers.

Vance said...

If that's true, Freder, then I await your party celebrating him as a "true hero" since Democrats love, love, love anyone and everyone who attacks and kills Americans and American soldiers.

Peachy said...

"Effective way to show that Trump has made this terrorist his bitch. "
HEH!

tim maguire said...

Freder Frederson said...You all do realize that ...there is a pretty good chance that he has actually killed American soldiers.

Hardly the craziest thing to have happened in foreign policy. How do you think hostilities end? Almost always they end with the former enemies signing cooperative agreements and sometimes even embracing each other.

tommyesq said...

"It's like a dog marking his territory..."

And the look on the face of purple-tie guy shows that he knows this.

tommyesq said...

How long before the usual suspects are "RHEEEE-ING" about Trump using a meeting with the Syrian President to promote his fragrance?

RideSpaceMountain said...

Worry not Fredo. It might take some years but our government shall be reminded yet again that a leashed sand-saluki - even on a choker chain - is exceedingly difficult to control.

Big Mike said...

D.D. Driver said...

First Gay President


That would be James Buchanan, who never married and whom President Andrew Jackson referred to as “Miss Nancy.”

And the second was Barack Obama, according to rumors that followed him from Chicago.

Freder Frederson said...

How long before the usual suspects are "RHEEEE-ING" about Trump using a meeting with the Syrian President to promote his fragrance?

And using the White House and your position of President to flog your private business interests is normal?

Bob Boyd said...

That's what happens when you end wars and try to make peace.
You're against peace now if Trump does it. Think about that.

john mosby said...

Freder and Maguire, ref enemies becoming friends: think of Hirohito, who went from god of war to cuddly toy status. Of course, GHW Bush got sneaky revenge by puking on him….CC, JSM

Yancey Ward said...

Freder, it wasn't Trump who paved the way for his victories in Syria. Like it or not, he is now in control of Syria proper and we must make do with what Biden and Obama have left us.

Freder Frederson said...

That's what happens when you end wars and try to make peace.

It was 30 years after the war ended before Hirohito visited the U.S. And of course the architects of the war were mostly charged and convicted of war crimes. Many of them were executed or received long prison sentences.

Freder Frederson said...

I can just imagine the batshit crazy comments on this blog if it was President Harris that invited Ahmed al-Sharaa to the White House (even if she didn't try to sell him some Mary Kay).

Maynard said...

Fredo is really butt hurt that Trump exudes masculine dominance when dealing with other leaders.

Althouse, it is much more like a dog showing dominance than territory marking.

D.D. Driver said...

Okay, okay. Third Gay President.

(It sounds more impressive to be first though.)

D.D. Driver said...

"Fredo is really butt hurt that Trump exudes masculine dominance when dealing with other leaders."

Spraying PERFUME(!!!) on another man is "masculine dominance." 🤣😂🤣

It's "masculine" like this.

Freder Frederson said...

Of course, GHW Bush got sneaky revenge by puking on him

That was actually the Prime Minister, not the Emperor .

Big Mike said...

Freder Frederson said...

And none of the comments who’d actually be crazy because all of them would be deserved.

In her latest interview Harris asserts, without evidence, that she beat Trump in a 3-D chess game. Does she even know how to play 2-D chess? Can she tell us how many squares are on a chess board? Can she describe how a knight moves?

john mosby said...

I’m sure they all looked the same to Ensign Bush….CC, JSM

Derve said...

I dunno, ann.
Uncomfortable or not, if your president tried to grab ya by the pussy, I bet you'd let 'im! And meade would no doubt lean in to get sprayed w/perfume too... Fanboi's like that, you two are! lol

Derve said...

I bet his colognes are made in Israel...

G. Poulin said...

James Buchanan may have been a fag, but he is under-rated as a President. His reputation is a casualty of Lincoln-worship. It wasn't James who got half a million Americans killed for nothing --- that would be Abe, our "greatest" President.

rhhardin said...

Butt sniffing is the advanced form. Dogs have anal glands specifically to add a unique scent to feces, which is what they're interested in sniffing. An anal gland failure is a social disaster for a dog.

Freder Frederson said...

And none of the comments who’d actually be crazy because all of them would be deserved.

So, in your world it is perfectly fine that Trump had al-Sharaa visit the White House, but if Harris had done the exact same thing, it would have been beyond the pale?

RideSpaceMountain said...

rhhardin said, "An anal gland failure is a social disaster for a dog."

Compelling truth. To other dogs it must be something alien or eerie...like some kind of uncanid-valley.

Lazarus said...

"Marking his territory" -- that was what I thought about George W. Bush assigning stupid nicknames to the people who worked for him. I guess at this point we're used to presidents being or playing at being the alpha dog.

DC is a hierarchical city and politics is a hierarchical game. Establishing who's top dog is important, especially if it's not immediately clear.

Some presidents are more insecure and less subtle than others. Lyndon Johnson taking phone calls and having meetings while on the toilet was another attempt to establish dominance.

Freder Frederson said...

Actually, I can also imagine the batshit crazy comments here if Trump invited the Mayor Elect of the largest city in the country to visit the White House.

Iman said...

“Butt sniffing is the advanced form. Dogs have anal glands specifically to add a unique scent to feces, which is what they're interested in sniffing. An anal gland failure is a social disaster for a dog.”

So… if that was your major, hardin, what was your minor?

john mosby said...

Freder ref a Muh Dingo visit to the WH: if Trump treated him like a fixed little doggie the way he just did with the Syrian guy, or if Trump and JD teamed up to give him a tonguelashing like they did with Zelenskyyyyy, the righties here would be delighted. CC, JSM

john mosby said...

I'd hope Trump would have his staff print and frame a fake NY Post cover with "TRUMP TO CITY: DROP DEAD," then maneuver MuhDingo into a grinning photo op with it. CC, JSM

Left Bank of the Charles said...

The new White House ballroom is going to smell of the weird mixture of the various Trump fragrances. I wonder how long it will take for the stench to go away?

john mosby said...

Left Bank: that's like Sztrok and Page laughing about the smell of WalMart. CC, JSM

Bob Boyd said...

Trump told them the fragrance was Victory 45-47, but according to my sources, it's called Mohel In A Can by the Israelis.

Freder Frederson said...

That's how you saw it. To me it looked like an over-enthusiastic temporary employee ambushing customers in front the Givenchy counter at Macys.

Michael Fitzgerald said...

LOL! Laughed my ass when I first saw this video... Trump saying that you never know how many wives these guys have!!! ROTFLMAO! Now Althouse's sniffy displeasure adds a guffaw as well. Construction workers love Trump, college professors hate him, period, end of story.

The largest city in the US is Sitka, Alaska. At 2,870 square miles, it is nearly double the size of Rhode Island at 1,545.

Steven Eisenbeisz was elected his 3rd term, and AFAIK is uncontroversial.

Considering Sitka was founded in 1799 as a RUSSIAN trading post, I can imagine the comments.

Trump was playing 3-D chess. Harris was playing 3-D checkers.

I respect the people who tried to kill me and that I tried to kill far more than I respect you.

Iman said...

Fredo and McGuire just a gettin' higher
In Annland you know where that's at
And who’s that suckin’ bags why it’s TeaBagHag

Aaron said...

North Korea has killed American soldiers. We talk to them. Vietnam has killed American soldiers. We talk to them. Same with Germans, Japanese, and Italians.

RideSpaceMountain said...

Rocco said, "Trump was playing 3-D chess. Harris was playing 3-D checkers."

Outsmarting Harris is like beating a dog at checkers. And in defense of man's best friend, they make up for a lack in sapience with superior personality.

Lem Vibe Bandit said...

Perfume Diplomacy.

For those times when throwing up rises to an article of impeachment.

Kai Akker said...

DJT, watch out for DJX.

bagoh20 said...

Trump has killed some high level terrorists too, and he still has ammo and time left.

Clyde said...

So, "don't spritz me with perfume and tell me it's raining," then.

Considering you've been a consistent terrorist sympathizer since at least 2004 (at Right Wing News), I'm not sure what your problem is here.

Not Illinois Resident said...

Maybe he should've offered them gum instead. There are times when I've had to resort to the gum offer.

Not Illinois Resident said...

Trump is remarkably effective when putting the other guy into state of unease or bashfulness. He does this quite frequently with foreign dignitaries, including I think King Chuck and Starmer during their Windsor Castle dinner.

I do remember how salon and daily kos were all for the group that became islamic state

When Madmani (D) actually plays footsie with terrorists - it's all cool.

No he isn’t. Until Joe Biden he was hands down the most incompetent and personally corrupt President ever. On the eve of the Civil War his administration moved rifles and muskets into armories located in southern states. He took the quaint position that insurrection was illegal but it was illegal for him as President to do anything about it.

Big Mike said...

Two things everyone should understand:

(1) Likening a devout Muslim to a dog (or a pig) is a deadly insult. To the extent Althouse is implying Trump is behaving like an alpha male dog she’s okay, but the implication that all the men in the clip are part of his pack puts her on shaky ground.

(2) Judging from Freder’s hysteria, the Left not only wants to dictate how much should be spent on whose healthcare, they also want veto power over which heads of state Trump will and will not meet with.
