If you were invited to the White House for dinner with Trump, would you go? (1 Viewer)

He would be involved? I'd be into a tour of the place but no interest at all in meeting him. He is an utterly repulsive human being on every observable level.

So it would basically be like a time share pitch? The free trip is worth sitting through dinner with Trump.

Yes, I'm pretty good at ignoring my surroundings while I eat. My wife would probably be excited to go.

Only 2 Presidents in your lifetime Opie? You actually are just 8 years old then as your avatar suggests?

Really torn here. If I was a persuasive and influential guy like MT, I would bite the bullet and dine with one of the world's most execrable men just so I could regale FBGs with tales of his insufferability. But even MT can't get through to some of the meatheads here so what chance would I have?

Both the TDS comment and "one of the two best" were just stinky bait. Completely off-topic and intentionally provocative.

Indeed. If I didn't hate posts complaining about the moderation, I'd post something complaining about the moderation.

You know where I was coming from....he said Trump was one of the 2 greatest Presidents in his lifetime and considering the TV Opie was young and that is his avatar I was playing on that...nothing personal about him here.

The only "derangement" concerning Trump is from people who see all of the criminality, lying, and collusion that has spewed from his campaign and administration but somehow conclude there is just no possible way he could be involved so it shouldn't even be looked into. That's derangement.

Yes. It If the cutoff line allows someone with a history of repeated (and ongoing) bad behavior to merit a mere "Don't" after (in the same thread) throwing out off-topic, provocative posts as well as a "deranged" insult, then, yes, the attempted humor you quoted does not cross the line. It's not exactly apples to apples either, unless the person you quoted has a history of repeated bad behavior on this board. I'm not aware of that, but my notebook sucks.

Part of why I wouldn’t is because I respect the office. And to me, his actions before campaigning, during, and since have shown he has no respect for the office. The latest (not even counting his tweets), was that speech at the CPAC...zero respect for the office.supermike80 said:

Understood. I however think the office is bigger than the person. And would be honored to be there at the invitation of the President..
Assuming of course, white house visits are not regular things for me. If I was able to go there a lot, I would probably not need to meet President Trump..but as someone who would never really get the chance, yep...I'm there.

I have to ask, why is it deranged to not want to have dinner with someone who has said and done racist, bigoted, and sexist things, who has admitted to sexual assault, who doesn't think anyone who is captured is a war hero, who mocks handicapped people, and a whole host of other things that even just one of them might be enough for me not to want to break bread with them? I don't care how famous someone is or how rich or powerful they are, I'd rather eat alone

Of course not. Think about it.
Me being only eight years old would imply that Obama would be the other greatest President of my lifetime and there is not a snowball chance in hell that that would be true.
NOBODY could be that delusional.

Well he is clearly, by any reasonable measure, better than Trump...and you think Trump is top two...so
Who's "reasonable measure'....not mine.
Would the economy be a "reasonable measure"?
How about unemployment? GDP?
How about the drop in welfare claims? Those on food stamps?
Are any of these "reasonable measures"?
Would that be like any "reasonable prosecutor" who would not file charges against Hillary?

Reasonable people’s measure.
Morally, ethically, intellectually...in no way is Trump better as a man or president.
Hillary? See, you are showing your measure isn’t reasonable by even bringing her up.
How about the number of missiles fired by NOKO?
The "magic wand" that Trump waved to increase number mfg jobs that have come back to the USA (that Obama said were gone forever)?
The number of square miles controlled by ISIS?
...looking for a "reasonable" measurement here...

You might want to head to that NK thread about that...as well as their capabilities.
You mean ISIS that was dwindling when Obama left office? Yes...Trump continues the progress that was made before him. Well, the military did and I have given him some credit on that before about a few changes he did made putting more control to those commanders in the field.
Beyond that...not interested as this isn't the discussion for this thread and you aren’t worth the time to debate something with given yiurnposting history and style.

2008 - 2016 North Korea launched, or attempted to launch missles on 7 occasions. (Not including satellite launches)
2017 - 2019 North Korea launched, or attempted to launch missiles on 16 occasions (Not including satellite launches)
Trump is making NK great again! Congrats?

Absolutely.
If I didn't think I had any reason to fear for my safety I'd break bread and drink beer with any historical figure, especially if I disagreed with them, even Hitler. I'm selfish and wouldn't be able to resist the opportunity to learn something.
And I have a feeling my wife would get along wonderfully with Melania.

That’s where respect fir the office comes into play. I wouldn’t take a dinner invite from almost anyone and then insult them and certainly not in the White House

He screams and shouts over professional journalists if they ask a question he doesn't like or want to answer. He doesn't even bother to allow his press secretary to have press conferences anymore because they can't handle anything except friendly fire. Do you really think a dinner guest would get the opportunity to speak his mind?tonydead said:

Along those lines...there is a thread about this article...we aren’t ever getting an invite...

Wasn't it when Trump mocked KJU on Twitter than NK launched ICBMs over Japan?Sinn Fein said:2008 - 2016 North Korea launched, or attempted to launch missles on 7 occasions. (Not including satellite launches)Opie said:

I'd go just to find out. An invited guest to dinner is a weird comparison to the press which we know he doesn't like. Are you expecting Jim Acosta to be invited to dinner?
Not sure what I said that confused you, but I'll try again. My original reply was no, I would never break bread with that disgusting human being. And would never want to be in a picture in the same room as him. You chided in saying that his haters shouldn't pass up on the opportunity to say it to him in person. I laughed at the suggestion that his weak little ego would ever allow anyone to challenge him in any way. He can't handle that, as we've seen hundreds of times. If a dinner guest said one thing to him that he found challenging, he'd quickly have you escorted from the room. Before you saw him crying.
You made the same mistake Sho Nuff did when reading my post. I never said to go so you can insult him. I said to go so you can voice your complaints. I imagine that's a much better setting than a press conference with reporters he does not like, which makes it a weird comparison. People have all kinds of two way conversations while eating where I come from.
He won't listen to any varying opinions with his intelligence department but I'm sure he'd be real receptive to hear what a random dinner guest thinks he's doing wrong. And 'where you come from', I'd imagine you have some normal, open-minded non-sociopaths. You can't compare Trump to the humans we interact with day to day. Haven't you seen that yet?

I’ll go only if he agrees to spoof on Melania with me by reenacting the dinner scene from Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. I also feel some kind of Rodney Dangerfield/Back in School skit would need to happen. We’d rule the interwebs once the videos hit
I'm not going if we’re talking politics, only interested in stunting on Pence and others for the lolz

You'd be a great dinner guest for him. You're a supporter. That's why he has rallies. He needs to be surrounded by people who like him. I am not the person he wants at his rallies or certainly at his dinner table. Not that he'd ever have to worry about either.
