In case you thought Trump couldn't sink any lower, read this account of what happened today.

Trump again declares himself an “extremely stable genius,” in a news conference that began with him summoning his staffers to emphasize how calm he was in a meeting with lawmakers he walked out of yesterday.

1. KNows NOTHING about business, NOTHING. Knows NOTHING about hotels or restaurants

or golf course or GOLF, has to cheat at golf.

He knows this: when he says something that ignorant people respond to, he repeats it...

He knows NOTHING else.

It is why he is the single greatest business failure in the history of business.

[gratuitous]

2. You and I define "stable" very differently, Donald

When all else fails, use the Hawkeye Observation from the first Avengers movie ("You and I remember Budapest very differently" ).

[FakeNoose]

3. Four out of five stable geniuses agree ... Chump is one of them

[Bradshaw3]

9. An insult to jackasses everywhere

Thanks for the laugh.

[Fullduplexxx]

13. Aaaaaaaaahahhhahahahaaaa snort aaahahajahhahhahahhahahhhah

[Chin music]

26. "Eeeeee-offf."

[GulfCoast66]

32. Actually, asses are probably the smartest member of the equine family.

Trump and his spawn are not the smartest of our species.

Plus they are very protective. My grandfather always put a few in with his young calves. Any coyote or wild dog attempting to kill a calf would find itself stomped to death.

I really like them. Mean as hell, but loyal.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. He can always sink lower.

I am wondering when he will start trying to hire hit men.

[Miles Archer]

11. He "fell in love" with a guy who takes out family members with antiaircraft guns.

There is no bottom.

[Chin music]

27. Melania is just a beard?

HAs she scuttled off yet? Waiting to hear how this lady figures into it.

[trev]

12. I'm wondering when he's going to weep on camera.

[The Genealogist]

5. Vlad should give him a chunk of uninhabited land Iin Siberia where Dainty Digits and the deplorables

Can set up their own idiotocracy and let the rest of us get on witth our lives

[atreides1]

6. Of course

And standing behind him were the "Welfare Queens" of the farming community...with their hands out for money that they didn't earn!!!

[Achilleaze]

7. He is, beyond argument, The Very Finest that KGOP Repubes have to offer to degrade America.

[Arkansas Granny]

8. Do you think they have to genuflect when they enter his office?

[Chin music]

28. No...they come in walking(?) on their knees w their eyes to the floor.

[gademocrat7]

10. Absolute pathological liar and a fraud.

He is lacking stability and intelligence.

[Nevilledog]

14. If he was an ice cream flavor he'd be Pralines and Dick.

[FirstLight]

31. +100!

[lagomorph777]

15. When you have to resort to screaming how stable you are, you're in big trouble.

And when you have to coerce your cronies into screaming it too, it's game over.

[unblock]

16. it's his supporters who continually sink lower and lower.

continuing to back him as he becomes more and more obviously, grossly unfit for office.


how much more embarrassment and humiliation can they take? it seems endless....

[Chin music]

29. Anything, but be called "wrong".

Or the "loser' of a 'fight'. Anything. Bc to them, it's just a game, bc, they don't know a GD thing. They fancy themselves brilliant engaging in politics, when they have no foundation for same.

[Johonny]

17. Of course he was calm. He planned to walk out before he went in.

It was all staged. The dems must have knew it was coming since its now his MO.

[dalton99a]

18. He should be congratulated on his promotion

from Very Stable Genius

[Hekate]

19. Extremely Augean Stables that stink to high heaven...

...needing a river run through it to cleanse out the large piles of horseshit.

[Rhiannon12866]

20. Looks like this has become a habit with him

When I first read of his tantrum walkout yesterday, I thought it must be old news. Can we imagine any American president exhibiting such unprofessional and puerile behavior? Andrew Johnson is the only one who comes to mind...

[Chin music]

33. Remember his behavior already overseas. He gets bored in meetings w heads of state or

being "briefed", and he gets up and walks out. He's in over his head. He knows he is. He's dangerous to the well being of our country. I think.

[Rhiannon12866]

35. You're absolutely right!

He has no interest at all in actually doing the job, that's why he keeps appointing equally unqualified Jared to conduct diplomacy! He's not just an international embarrassment, but a serious danger to this country!

And I still believe that the only reason he decided to run was because he thought of a campaign as a money making scheme. He never expected to "win" and now that he's stuck with the job, he has no interest in actually doing it - he figures he can talk his way out of anything - like he always has. And from what we know now, he was never any good at that, either - his personal businesses all lost millions.

[Leith]

21. He's trying for 20,000 lies by the end of the year

I'll believe Speaker Pelosi.

[Mme. Defarge]

22. He has not yet begun to defile himself.

[ginnyinWI]

23. What else does he need to do to prove how unbalanced he is?

I'm sure the staff already knows, and the family. But now it's leaking out in the public arena. Pelosi is helping, thankfully. The sooner it's over, the better.

Everyone is like a frog in the pot of water, heating up gradually. But look at this--it is NOT normal!

He calls a meeting so that all of his lackeys can discuss how calm he was yesterday???

[Marcuse]

24. !

[Totally Tunsie]

25. Yup...

[riversedge]

30. Reminds me of how Trump does a Round Robin with each Cabinet member praising him. I saw the

first one--it was televised (puke)--and have read that he did it again.

[Chin music]

34. It's surreal.

I'm so tired of talking about how awful he is.

[riversedge]

37. Trumps stinking swamp is a bottomless pit.
