Bozo can’t get his facts straight even for a few minutes.

Today, President Trump took a few moments out of his day to speak with NASA astronauts Christina Koch and Jessica Meir, who are currently conducting the first all-female spacewalk in history on the outside of the International Space Station. While speaking with the pair, Trump mistakenly suggested this was the first female spacewalk ever — a point that the astronauts corrected him on.

“This is the first time for a woman outside of the space station,” Trump said. He later added: “You are amazing people; they’re conducting the first ever female spacewalk to replace an exterior part of the space station. They’re doing some work, and they’re doing it in a very high altitude — an altitude that very few people will ever see.”

But it’s not the first ever, it’s only the first ever with two women. His people must have briefed him on that before the call.

In her response, Meir made it clear that they were building on the work of many previous women who had spacewalked before them. “We don’t want to take too much credit because there have been many other female spacewalkers before,” Meir said. “This is the first time that there’s been two women outside at the same time.” In the history of spaceflight, only 15 women have ever spacewalked, including Meir and Koch.

Trump’s evil daughter also took part in the call.

She has no right to be there.

Trump congratulated Poland for having been made a slaughterhouse by the Nazis.

Trump was asked Sunday about the trip to Poland he canceled to monitor Hurricane Dorian. Asked if he had a message for that country, which was commemorating the anniversary of the start of World War II, Trump decided to … congratulate it?

Q: Mr. President, do you have a message for Poland on the 80th anniversary of the Second World War?

TRUMP: I do have a great message for Poland. And we have Mike Pence, our Vice President, is just about landing right now. And he is representing me. I look forward to being there soon.

But I just want to congratulate Poland. It’s a great country with great people. We also have many Polish people in our country; it could be 8 million. We love our Polish friends. And I will be there soon.

For those not versed in World War II history, Sunday was the anniversary of the day Nazi Germany invaded Poland, which led France and Britain to declare war two days later (i.e. 80 years ago Tuesday). Poland would wind up losing nearly one-fifth of its population in the war, according to estimates.

Well, ok, sure, but now it gets to have Trump visit it, sometime, maybe, if he doesn’t have emergency golf to play. So congratulations are totally due!

Plus it has a choice between far right and even more far right, so obviously Trump is gonna high five that.

PiS has governed Poland since 2015, when, after eight years in opposition, it became the first party to win an absolute majority in a Polish election since the fall of communism in 1989. Over its four years in power, the party has moved the country in an increasingly illiberal direction, championing a socially conservative vision of Poland, accompanied by anti-immigrant and homophobic rhetoric and efforts to control the judiciary. The European Commission, the European Union’s executive branch, has criticized reforms pushed by PiS to strengthen its influence over the two highest courts in the country, calling them threats to the rule of law in Poland and by extension to the EU’s core principles.

The Globe has another tidbit. (I guess I’ll have to watch/listen to a little of it eventually, but I so hate listening to his clogged croaking voice saying all the stupid things I’m putting it off.)

The sitting president of the United States talked about Kanye West and Shania Twain and was completely serious about it

“Mr. President, we want to get to Kanye West,” one of the show’s anchors said like it was a completely normal thing to discuss with a US president.

The day before, West, a rapper, showed off how Trump autographed a “Make America Great Again” hat for him and then wrote on Twitter: “You don’t have to agree with Trump but the mob can’t make me not love him. We are both dragon energy. He is my brother.”

Trump then tweeted back his thanks.

On Fox News Thursday morning, Trump said the reason why Kanye likes him is because unemployment for African Americans is so low. He did not elaborate, nor mention that the decline has slowed since Trump took office.

“He sees that stuff and he’s smart,” Trump explained. “He says, you know what? Trump is doing a much better job than the Democrats did.”

The president then talked about how earlier in the week Canadian country singer Shania Twain said she would have voted for Trump had she been registered in the US. She later apologized, but subsequently said it was a mistake for her to have done so.

Next time let’s elect Bart Simpson president.

Yesterday in Trump on Twitter:

So yes Trump canceled that press conference scheduled for Thursday, where he was going to explain how he would tie a big string around his businesses so that they wouldn’t distract him from the presidenting. He’s too busy to do it now, his team said.

A spokesman for Trump said the delay is taking place so Trump can continue to focus on building his Cabinet. Trump is expected to announce the selection of ExxonMobil chief executive Rex Tillerson as his secretary of State on Tuesday.

Well, continue to focus on building his Cabinet and on holding a fascist rally every day this week. Oh and also on discussing life with Kanye West.

President-elect Donald Trump took time out from assembling his cabinet and otherwise mapping out his transition to discuss “life” with rapper, fashion impresario and Kim Kardashian husband Kanye West at Trump Tower on Tuesday morning.

“He’s a good man,” Mr. Trump told reporters. “We’ve been friends for a long time… We discussed life.”

He’s a good man. Not a bad hombre.

The visit with the eccentric international pop-star came soon after Mr. Trump canceled a press conference scheduled for Thursday, saying he was too busy organizing his cabinet.

He’ll be a fun president, no doubt about it. When North Korea or China or somebody accidentally drops a nuke on Seattle, he’ll call a press conference and then cancel it to play pool with Gary Busey.

Today in Trump:

President-elect Donald J. Trump said in an interview broadcast on Sunday that he did not believe American intelligence assessments that Russia had intervened to help his candidacy, casting blame for the reports on Democrats, who he said were embarrassed about losing to him.

“I think it’s ridiculous. I think it’s just another excuse,” Mr. Trump said in the interview, on “Fox News Sunday.” “I don’t believe it.”

Except the intelligence people who made the assessments are civil servants, not political appointments.

He also indicated that as president, he would not take the daily intelligence briefing that President Obama and his predecessors have received. Mr. Trump, who has received the briefing sparingly as president-elect, said that it was often repetitive and that he would take it “when I need it.” He said his vice president, Mike Pence, would receive the daily briefing.

“You know, I’m, like, a smart person,” he said. “I don’t have to be told the same thing in the same words every single day for the next eight years.”

Thus demonstrating that he’s not “a smart person.” A genuinely smart person would never say that on national tv on such a subject in such a situation. A genuinely smart person would not refuse to read intelligence briefings, and would not boast of doing so on national tv.

Also, he’s not going to be there for eight years.

He added that he had instructed the officials who give the briefing: “‘If something should change from this point, immediately call me. I’m available on a one-minute’s notice.’”

Oh, how big of him. Of course he’s available on short notice: that’s his job! The level of stupidity is hard to believe.

Mr. Trump’s seeming dismissal of the importance of that daily interaction with intelligence agencies, as well as his claims of politically tainted intelligence reports on Russia, widened a remarkable breach between a president-elect and the agencies he will have to rely on to carry out priorities like fighting terrorism and deterring cyberattacks.

No doubt he’s thinking of it as just more of what he’s used to – he’s The Honcho and everyone else is an undifferentiated mass of underlings, whom he can fire the instant they irritate him.
