you're spot on with your assessment. donnie t may as well be like this dog:

With a Napoleonic Complex.

5'2" without his boots, Medevev reported to be 5'4", lots of photo and video evidence available on the net.

In 2012, he said he tried to get Putin to listen to reason on Syria, and Putin said not interested, to Obama's great frustration.

Why can't we have a pResident that even knows decorum?

He's one of those people that shows his brain functioning (or not) on his face. Can't be a real dealer with that type of visual presentation.

Dump is obviously unable to really interact with anyone, even another wannabe dictator. Did daddy Fred spoil his ability to be somewhat empathetic (rhetorical).

Obviously his attention is on the next bugger. Does Ho Chi Min city have some good joints? (From my recollection, yes.)

After all, just like John McCain, he got shot down in Hanoi........ *snort!*

Where does someone shop to look sloppy?

I don’t recall any ad that claimed their clothes were guaranteed to make you look stupid.

And actually, Trump's chair seems to be lower than Kim's.

Totally symbolic of how we are being played on the world stage.

They tried to make them look like identical chairs, but the legs have different curves affecting height.

All the furniture is smaller/lower in Japan, and I imagine it's the same in Vietnam. I bang my knees on tables in Japan all the time because things are built for an average height that is much less than average height of Americans.

a local clientele usually has little plastic chairs that resemble a kiddie patio set here in the U.S. An upscale venue that hosts the international set would have more conventionally sized furniture. I definitely think 45 was being punked, but with plausible deniability, as in, Oh, that wasn't intentional, everybody knows the chairs are short over here!

so many times in Japan I've felt like I'm sitting on kiddie furniture.

Or on the subways, people who are are holding on to the straps, and I'm holding on to the bar that's holding the straps because the straps are too low...

And you could be right about the punking - they surely have larger chairs to cater to westerners/tall people, but likely chose to go with the regular sized ones just to annoy Donald. Pretty sad when an evil dictator shitpot gets more deference than the American president because the evil dictator shitpot is more respected.

at home in his own body, a citizen of the world:

(With Anthony Bourdain in in Hanoi)

or his utter boredom and disinterest and being totally out of his league comes out loud and clear. The latter in the case of the photo of him and Kim on the chairs.

Oh, and how I miss Bourdain... damn, what a loss to lose his voice. Brilliant. I rarely care much about celebrity deaths or mourn them, but he's one of the few whose death still hurts.

Obama always knew how to act and how to comport himself and be an adult. For the most part, even Dubya knew how to be presidential; though he goofed it numerous times, and occasionally looked like a moron, but still, he understood the role and the decorum needed to be the president of the U.S. He totally fucked the country, sure; but he still maintained a certain non-embarrassing dignity and decorum that showed he understood the magnitude and importance of the office he held. For Donald, it's just another thing that gets in the way of his narcissism and whenever people aren't talking about him, he gets bored and tunes out, even when it's negotiating nuclear stuff with an evil dangerous dictatorial shitpot.

You can feel the energy, and you can tell that President Obama is owning that moment.

Oh, how I miss having adults in the room.

photographers!) Obama was one of the greatest presidents, as time and evidence shows more and more.

Putin never forgot that tongue lashing, I'll tell ya...

in a good way, I mean. There are better pics, but this will give you an idea:

Do you think he was being nice?

Look at that body language. pootin was having his ass handed to him by a REAL LEADER and he knew it.

pootin doesn't need an interpreter. pootin speaks perfect English. Check out this interview with Platon, the only photographer to ever get a portrait of pootin.

"With Putin, I think that was the first moment I ever had to deal with this sense of intimidation. He walks in with this giant entourage that makes P. Diddy look like Mickey Mouse.

I nervously said: "Mr. President, it's a great honor to be in your fine country. I have a question for you. Before we take pictures, I want you to know that I'm an Englishman, and I love the Beatles. And I would like to know if you like the Beatles."

He says, "I love the Beatles."

I said, "Oh, my God, I didn't know you spoke English."

He said, "I speak perfect English."

I said, "Well, who's your favorite Beatle?"

And he said, "Paul."

"Wow. What's your favorite song? Is it 'Back in the USSR'?"

He said, "No, it's 'Yesterday.' Think about it."

It's harder for him to lean over Kim when they get in the way.

You can feel the chill in the air and your marrow growing cold.

That's just the fact of our adversarial relationship. When Putin's smiling, he's winning.

...because it makes them walk with a more authoritative sound.

President Obama was clearly the Alpha here, using his height advantage to tower over AND bend INTO Putin’s space. Putin, on the other hand, is slumped, chin in, not standing tall and ramrod straight, (as we’ve repeat seen him with trump) eyes lowered, in a clearly defensive and submissive posture. And look at his right hand. Pulled in and upwards across his chest, as though subconsciously protective. A gesture that telegraphs him wanting to put a block up against Obama.

Sometimes people communicate clearly, with their bodies and postures, how they’re REALLY feeling - eve when their words say something different. This shot suggests to me that Putin did NOT feel like the Alpha. And didn’t even feel like trying.

as viewer, imagine Obama has both arm back and is pushing he chest into Putin that says, "you want a piece of me?" A challenge, "if you want to play this game, PuTin, I can take you on if you want, and deliver some pain."

That is all.

Obama is totally dominating Putin.

What a buffoon we elected right after one of the greatest presidents ...........
