Remember all that talk about Trump pivoting from a complete fuсking moron to a functional adult?

after the election

The only place you see it now is on the back of a milk carton along with that check from Mexico

1. Yeah, I remember it

The old "give him a chance" bullshit.

He has had years worth of chances. He fucked up every one and he did it in the worst way possible.

[Claustrum]

2. Never took that seriously since day 1. Same thing with "give him a chance"

[unblock]

3. During the campaign he said, "I can do presidential"

He took a step or two back from the mike, straightened his back, and walked up to the mike in a slower, more dignified pace. Then he immediately slouched and said, "see!" and crowed about how presidential he can be as he returned to his clown act.

Proving for all that he couldn't even pretend for more than two seconds.

4. not us here. that's a Van Jones ("he sounds presidential") fantasy

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

5. Why the fuck does anyone believe someone his age can change?

I mean I'm an old guy, age 62. We're pretty set in our ways.

[klook]

6. Yeah, some time in 2017 there was talk in the M$M that he was "becoming presidential"

as he condemned Kim Jong Un following Otto Warmbier's death. Of course, the next year Trump "fell in love" with the North Korean dictator as he angled for a Nobel Peace Prize.

10. Yeah like this fucking utter nonsense

https://www.cnn.com/2017/03/01/politics/van-jones-trump-congress-speech-became-the-president-in-that-moment-cnntv/index.html

He managed to read a few words off a teleprompter that were written for him and instantly he's a president, or just a month ago when he once again read a few words written for him off a teleprompter and Dana Bash was pimping him as a leader.
Get the fuck out of here ... it's why I can't take CNN seriously

[klook]

11. Yeah, CNN does some good stuff, but like many in the mainstream "liberal" media,

they too often bend rightward in a lame attempt to appear impartial.

Whatever happened to just letting the damning facts speak for themselves, with the occasional editorial comment by the punditocracy? Oh, who am I kidding? It's all about the ratings, with occasional real news mixed in with the infotainment.

[lark]

7. Yeah I always just ignore this pundit speak, it's always always total BS.

GW will have no choice but to rule from the center since he actually lost the vote - fuck no, could only be decent after he was out of office
Trump will be presidential once he's actually president - fuck no, hahahahahahahahahah
MSM - We need to air the Daily Briefings because he is after all the president and he might by chance say something meaningful - Fuck no, get him off. Have everything ready and as soon as he lies, usually in the first sentence when he says states have more than sufficient supplies for testing, cut away from the sound, say the president is insulting America again, we'll pick up sound if anything relevant is said or when the scientists come on.

[barbtries]

8. i remember my boss at the time

expressed that wish to me. i told her then he can't change. he's not going to change. it's not possible.
she didn't vote for him. would probably deny today that she ever thought for a second that he could lead the USA.

Functioning adults are friends of mine. You, sir, are no functioning adult."
