Please forgive me, I'm about to post a 15 second #FoxNews clip

But you will forgive me because... oh my fucking God

And just look #Erdogan's face after #Trump says it

(I am not defending Erdogan here. The issue is simply Trump's character as displayed: he thinks he is complimenting Erdogan! And he thinks this is the proper venue to say such a thing, while sitting next to Erdogan. Pure pure cringe)

#USA #US #Turkey #Turkiye

Trump and Erdogan, then after Trump says it, Erdogan's stares and his expression goes quite dark

@benroyce || We now know who taught him how to rig elections, he was too cock sure in the last one, which was the tipoff.

@benroyce At this rate, there will be no one he hasn't alienated by the end of this week. He's going to die from stubbing his toe, falling, and never eating again because absolutely no one would help him up.

@benroyce the best part of this is how Erdrogan starts off with the thinnest of smiles, which fades into an icy look of death as he slowly turns to look at the chump

it's exactly like a snake locking in on its prey

@benroyce I love how Fox News zooms in on Trump's face so the audience can't dwell on Erdogan's reaction. blobcat_amused

Wow. To me, even a generous interpretation of "he knows about rigged elections" while pointing at Erdoğan seems like he was ~accusing~ Erdoğan of rigging elections. (I mean if the shoe fits and the ballot is rigged in Turkey then by all means call it out Mr President. Don't hold back!)

Then President Trump's claim of "while I was in exile". My dude you weren't exiled you just lost the election. You even got to run again and won. No need to claim you are a victim.

@roytoo

the thing is, from trump's point of view, the rigging elections thing is a compliment

meanwhile, erdogan has a functional brain, thus his expression

but beyond that, to even say that? and assume it's friendly witty banter in a press briefing with the leader of another country?

holy shit
