Guess who called Nepal “nipple,”

Trump’s diplomatic learning curve: Time zones, ‘Nambia’ and ‘Nipple’

The president has often perplexed foreign officials and his own aides as he learns how to deal with the world beyond America's borders.

https://www.politico.com/story/2018/...00&nlid=630318

Several times in the first year of his administration, President Donald Trump wanted to call Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in the middle of the afternoon. But there was a problem. Midafternoon in Washington is the middle of the night in Tokyo — when Abe would be fast asleep.

Trump’s aides had to explain the issue, which one diplomatic source said came up on “a constant basis,” but it wasn’t easy.

“He wasn’t great with recognizing that the leader of a country might be 80 or 85 years old and isn’t going to be awake or in the right place at 10:30 or 11 p.m. their time,” said a former Trump NSC official. “When he wants to call someone, he wants to call someone. He’s more impulsive that way. He doesn’t think about what time it is or who it is,” added a person close to Trump.

After NO sources backing up Chumpy's accusations, we at least have close sources.

For the Politico article....

“He wasn’t great with recognizing that the leader of a country might be 80 or 85 years old and isn’t going to be awake or in the right place at 10:30 or 11 p.m. their time,” said a former Trump NSC official. “When he wants to call someone, he wants to call someone. He’s more impulsive that way. He doesn’t think about what time it is or who it is,” added a person close to Trump.

In the case of Abe and others, Trump’s NSC staffers would advise him, for instance, that “the time is messed up, it’s 1 o’clock in the morning” and promise to put the call on his calendar for a more diplomatically appropriate time. Former National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster would assure him: “We can try to set it up.”

So, who is the former "Trump NSC official"? Got a name?

Baby needs a set of blocks to play with.
How pathetic hcap has become as a person.

Perhaps he needs a "nepal" to comfort himself.

Your party has become a complete joke. It will eventually become extinct when anyone with half a brain has left.

Check the demographics on Faux Noos.

Before they lose their entire elderly white rethug audience and become a subsidiary of CNN.

Or maybe wholly owned organ of Trump TV
