Trump laughed too, because he's an idiot and doesn't understand what a massive insult that was.

He's a Psychopath, and psychopaths don't understand humor. He literally doesn't recognize it. He thought the guy was being serious.

This was a brilliant retort. And the sarcasm totally escaped simple-minded Trump - which is of course the best type of sarcasm, when the object of the sarcastic remark doesn't understand it.

I expect that any time a world leader meets with HitlerPig in the future, they will come with a few zingers to throw at him. At the next big summit, they'll all be hanging around the bar, showing videos of their visits with HitlerPig, and laughing at how they made fun of him to his face.

The fat orange fuckstain is probably hoping that another plane will appear in time

I wish you did. I would take it,” Trump responded. “If your country offered the United States Air Force a plane, I would take it.”

He literally does. He's expecting these people to all bring him tribute.

That is a good response from the African leader.

“I wish I had a plane to give you,” a seemingly exasperated Ramaphosa said at one point.

“I wish you did. I would take it,” Trump responded. “If your country offered the United States Air Force a plane, I would take it.”

"The EU hasn't given me even one plane," Trump added meaningfully. "Our talks there aren't going anywhere either."

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 11 points 20 hours ago

It used to be a million bucks, but now it looks like a big flashy plane is the new baseline for acceptable bribes.

The EU hasn't offered a plane, and a few days later they get hit with a 50% tariff.

This is his plan to rebuild Trump Air!

[–] NotAGamer@lemmy.org 22 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

And apparently Qatar didn't "give" a plane either. It was wold to the U.S. because they couldn't sell it to anyone else.

[–] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 7 points 13 hours ago

And, of course, Trump paid the required tariffs.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 10 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, trump actually lied about that, weirdly enough

[–] Tja@programming.dev 1 points 13 hours ago

I don't think so, the guy is not know for lying...
