The national shame that is Donald Trump has outdone himself again during his junket to Japan. Ordinarily American leaders will suspend their partisan infighting while traveling abroad. There is an unwritten rule that
"politics stops at the water's edge."But Trump has never been one to follow rules - or even bother to learn them. His only guidance is what's in his own selfish best interests. It's a symptom of his malignant narcissism and
myriad other psychoses.
In Japan, Trump Finds Time to Golf, Become a National Embarrassment, and BETRAY America
There's nothing you can add to this.
He's only a national shame only to traitors, far-left liberals, the media, Al Queda, Hollywood and other haters of America.
I was brought up to respect the president. What were you taught growing up? Obviously - not much.
Regardless of party, cheerleading for the demise of our nation's president is truly unpatriotic.
And please - don't get started on golf. Every president - including the last one - spends time on the golf course. Get over it.
RESPECT is earned Obviously you never understood that Trump is a vile liar racist and moron
Trump is racist? When did he ever...........Oh, that's right, you were told he was racist. I forgot.

The Justice Department’s 1973 lawsuit against Trump Management Company focused on 39 properties in New York City. The government alleged that employees were directed to tell African American lease applicants that there were no open apartments. Company policy, according to an employee quoted in court documents, was to rent only to “Jews and executives.”
The Justice Department frequently used consent decrees to settle discrimination cases, offering redress to plaintiffs while allowing defendants to avoid an admission of guilt. The rationale: Consent decrees achieved speedier results with less public rancor.
Nathaniel Jones was the general counsel for the NAACP. He later became a federal judge. John Yinger, an economist specializing in residential discrimination, served at the time as an expert witness in a number of fair-housing cases. Elyse Goldweber, a Justice Department lawyer, brought the first federal suit against Trump Management.
NATHANIEL JONES: The 1968 Fair Housing Act gave us leverage to go after major developers and landlords. The situation in New York was terrible.
JOHN YINGER: Community groups like the Urban League started doing audits and tests to show discrimination. In 1973, the Urban League found a lot of discrimination in some of the properties that Trump Management owned.
The files detail dozens of interviews the bureau conducted with Trump building tenants, management and employees, seeking indications that minority tenants were steered away from housing complexes.
Most of those interviewed said they were not aware of any discrimination. However, some of the records recount the stories of black rental applicants who said they were told no apartments were available, while whites sent to check on the same apartments were offered leases.
The records,
posted on the FBI's Freedom of Information Act website, include a 1974 interview with a former doorman at a Trump building in Brooklyn.
A supervisor "told me that if a black person came to 2650 Ocean Parkway and inquired about an apartment for rent, and he, that is [redacted] was not there at the time, that I should tell him that the rent was twice as much as it really was, in order that he could not afford the apartment,"
the ex-doorman said.
Donald Trump denied any racial discrimination, but said his managers tried to weed out certain kinds of tenants.
“What we didn’t do was rent to welfare cases, white or black," Trump wrote in a 1987 book.
The Trumps and their company entered into
a consent decree settling the litigation in 1975.
The agreement contained no admission of wrongdoing, but required the Trump firm to institute a series of safeguards to make sure apartments were rented without regard to race, color, religion, sex or national origin.
