He did not release his NCAA Tournament brackets, although he is projected to pick Florida to cut down the nets.
He basically said he's going to draw another red line, threatened to freeze Russian assets in the United States so the Russians can't pay back billions that they owe to U.S. banks and they can align with the Chinese and actually profit on the sanctions while causing inflation in the USA.
You know, typical mis-understanding of world economy that a high school kid should know. We're finished. It's over.

I've been a puss all my life so I'm not going to man up now. If the bully comes for my lunch money tomorrow he's out of luck because I'm going to skip lunch. Hey look at that bird over there!

Seriously ole buddy, there was no context of content in his 2 minute "speech" that you haven't already heard over the last couple of days. He asked for no questions in turn giving no answers. Said so-n-so will answer any questions and he exited the room.
BTW, woke up this morning with snow on the roof, again.

He compared Crimea to a play-in game, and predicted that Russia would not make it to Dallas.
Said Russian aggression was in his top 3 priorities, along with bracketologizing and pondering his next tee time.

I'm sort of confused.
There's a red line from Istanbul to Riga and another from Malaya to China.
One red line is for Putin and the other is for the 777.
I'm confused as to which is which.

As if the board would actually approve of something the president says/does.
He's either a war monger (insert peace prize joke) or he a pussy (insert mom jeans photo).

He's neither, but he's proving what I have said all along - he is grossly incompetent for the job of President of the United States.
No worries, though, there are probably less than 50 people in the entire country that are completely competent, and 45 of them have no desire to take the pay cut.

He may be craftier than we admit. He is getting what he wants. He has aways wanted the USA to be marginalized and regarded as just one of many rather than the leader of anything.
He is repelled by the thought of the US getting its way on anything when that might mean that some other country is prevented from having its way even if that action is detrimental to the short and long term intrests of the US.
His world view is that all counties are just one big happy commune with no real leaders or powers. None should be stronger than the other and all will happily cooperate with no stife. Sort of a Kumbaya world order.
The problem is that countries like Russia,China, Iran and others don't see things this way.

That was clear from the get-go.
