The Washington Post has published some astonishing telephone transcripts<\/a><\/strong> from Donald Trump’s first week as President. They document conversations he had with the leaders of Mexico and Australia. Some of his remarks affirm his incompetence and how utterly unprepared he was to become president. Others just show him to be dishonest and vain.<\/p>\n

Mic.com scoured the transcripts and came up with what they regard as “5 of the most damning quotes<\/a><\/strong> from Trump\u2019s conversations with the leaders of Mexico, Australia.”<\/em> I must say I agree with thier assessment. So here is what they selected with some of their analysis. Be sure to read the whole article. It’s totally worth it.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \u201cYou cannot say anymore that the United States is going to pay for the wall.\u201d<\/strong>
    \nTrump effectively acknowledged in his call with Pe\u00f1a Nieto that he knew Mexico wasn\u2019t going to pay for the border wall he promised on the campaign trail. But he begged Pe\u00f1a Nieto to stop saying that publicly.<\/li>\n
  2. \u201cI won New Hampshire because New Hampshire is a drug-infested den.\u201d<\/strong>
    \nDuring a conversation about drugs coming across the border into the U.S., Trump took a swipe at New Hampshire.<\/li>\n
  3. \u201cI am the world\u2019s greatest person that does not want to let people into the country.\u201d<\/strong>
    \n[Australia’s] Turnbull was trying to ensure that Trump would uphold a deal to accept 1,250 refugees from Australia \u2014 assuming they passed U.S. vetting standards. And Trump was furious.<\/li>\n
  4. \u201cAre they going to become the Boston bomber in five years?\u201d<\/strong>
    \nTrump went on to ask for assurances that the refugees would not become the Boston bombers, to which Turnbull reminded Trump that the two men who bombed the Boston Marathon were from Russia.<\/li>\n
  5. \u201cPutin was a pleasant call.\u201d<\/strong>
    \nTrump spat at Turnbull: “I have had it. I have been making these calls all day and this is the most unpleasant call all day. Putin was a pleasant call. This is ridiculous.”<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    From day one Trump was embarrassing America and alienating our allies. And as that last quote shows, he was openly favoring Vladimir Putin, a staunchly hostile leader who had just engaged in criminal interference with our presidential election. It’s hard to characterize Trump’s behavior as anything short of treasonous. That’s been affirmed more recently by the discovery of his participation in the cover up of his son’s meetings with Russian operatives. And these transcripts further illustrate just how damaging his ignorance and ego are to the interests of the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
