I've mastered the art of saying "I'm fine" in 47 different languages😚
What's the point of trying to appease this guy? He does everything on a whim.
NO! tRump is a vile, disgusting, despicable, deplorable, disgraceful, narcissistic, self-serving, self-centered, sociopath, want-be-dictator POS!!!! 💩
I'd do golf with Trump… On the 1st hole I'd drive him in the nuts with my favourite club.
But will Trump reciprocate by going to sit in a Finland sauna wearing nothing?
No
Most UK politicians don't have the level of self control (honesty) that is required to be a good golfer. They would be thrown out of most golf clubs for their non stop lying and cheating. Sorry, i meant to say 'Spin.'
I think it was a good move and knowing Stubbs he made no reference to Trump's cheating
What a but kisser
