Everybody remember the video of Trump scrolling through his phone last week while small business owners talked about the wrecked economy? That’s exactly what happened with Covid and Russian Bounties. He has the attention span of a gerbil and the self control of a four year old

Actually, the comparison to Trump is insulting to both gerbils and 4-year-olds...

1. Steve is being too kind to him many (sane) people can think of worst things to say to such a man.

[tanyev]

2. Yep, to say the self control of a four year old is being overly generous.

[MoonRiver]

3. I disagree with Schmidt.

I think he knew exactly what was going on with COVID-19 and Bountygate. He was protecting his sorry self and Putin.

11. +1000. nt

[IronLionZion]

12. Putin was probably texting him instructions

[MoonRiver]

13. Of course!

4. Really funny no doubt

For a guy like Trump who hates the term of a loser, if ever there was anybody who is showing himself to be a total loser it’s him. He’s such a dumb fuck he thought he could bluster and bullshit his way thru a pandemic and just forget about the facts of life of the horrible things ignoring a pandemic causes and now look what he’s got us into. A real fucking disaster thanks to his stupidity followed by those other moron Republican governors from the states that opened way too fast and prematurely. Assholes one and all

22. Okay, show of hands

How many of you watched that video and thought, "If it was me trying to read my testimony while Lord Littlehands was busy stabbing at his phone with his teeny tiny thumbs, I would have stopped mid-sentence to ask, 'I'm sorry, Mr. President, is my story boring you?' and treat him like the spoiled teenager he looks like."

Or is it just me?

6. Many people think that gerbils may explain his odd posture when standing.

15. Get a candle...

...and some PVC.

7. Bernstein's CNN piece on the president's calls with foreign leaders revealed Trump was always

extremely complimentary and deferential to Putin, as well as Erdogan. I don't buy this "Trump acts like a four-year-old" stuff. Trump knows exactly what he's doing, who he's helping and what's in it for him.

[ProfessorGAC]

21. Disagree

He's just narcissistic & dumb.
He's a bully to people that won't hit him, and deferential to those who might.
A coward & a punk.

8. Steve Schmidt is correct

[TheBlackAdder]

9. I have a gerbil that's a thespian, and he can recite Hamlet's Act 3 Scene 1, Nunnery Scene.

.

Here he is. He's named Jeff Sessions and is starting at, "To be or not to be..."




Here's another training to be a classical ballet dancer.

10. A little rough on gerbils and four year olds, I think.

14. Gerbils are actually quite industrious and capable...

...of sustained effort.

[lastlib]

16. Steve, you forgot to add....

"the intellect of a root vegetable."

[Cha]

18. Yes, especially "4 year olds".. trump has the self control

of an adderall junkie. And, an attention span of a gnat.. I don't think gnats would disagree.

[marble falls]

20. Plus I don't get "attached" to gnats!

[Cha]

23. lol.. me neither!

[diane in sf]

24. I think tRump is stuck at a non-toilet trained two-year old emotional level. He has an

unending amount of destructive energy. He was never very smart and now his decaying brain has destroyed any sort of attention span he might have once had.
