Marilyn's Photos - June 18 2025 - Picking Up those Papers
Got me. It doesn't look awkward. It was pretty fast. He bent over and swooped them up quickly. A deep knee squat for a 62 year old seems good to me.
The press has termed it "unfortunate." It is as though Starmer "bent the knee" to Trump, as Trump was fond of declaring earlier in the year.
Is it because he is Sir Keir and has some "royal" sort of title that it is awkward? Does that then confer something on Trump? This is the man who is quoted as saying that billions and billions of people have overwhelming support for him as "King of America."
The Wikipedia entry titled False or misleading statements by Donald Trump has this concluding line in the first section: "It has been suggested that Trump's false statements amount to bullshit rather than lies." In the paragraph titled Bullshit, the definition of a bullshitter from Harry Frankfurt's 2005 book On Bullshit, says that the "liar cares about the truth and attempts to hide it, while the bullshitter does not care whether what they say is true or false."
So likely, then, Trump would take the title of the "King of Bullshit."
Last month I found out about Assholes and Stupid people, this month about Bullshitter as a technical definition. Things get stranger all the time.
