Mr Poke Misspoke

Submitted by ub on

If the GOP elected a president who promised to take on DC, why does he keep poking members of his own administration, his Republican Congressional colleagues, and US allies? If Mr. Poke insists that he misspoke, then he misspoke once again.

Plenty of presidents have created chaos and commotion during their travels abroad, but none as much as POTUS has. Also, wait as Putin most likely recorded their conversation and will probably try to use it against him one day.
