Trump would take up about 60% of the allotted time talking himself, often talking about how good the viewership ratings were that he was getting.

Honestly, it all runs together to form a picture of malicious ignorance.

It was the leader of Montenegro, who had just recently been admitted as a member of NATO. Trump was blatantly acting on Putin's behalf to show his disrespect.

Some of the lowlights that I remember:
* Telling the proud boys to "stand back and stand by"
* Saying that there were "fine people on both sides" after the Nazi march in Charlottesville
* His photo-op with Kim Jong Un and permanently ending joint US military exercises with South Korea and saluting a North Korean general
* Having the US military gas and attack peaceful protestors in Washington, DC and then standing on the site where they had been while holding up a bible

All of the new appointees will be worse than DeVos. Al Franken did a great job questioning her during her confirmation hearings - miss him.

grocery stores emptied of essential goods, International students afraid to go home for winter break in fear that they would not be let back in, the separation of children from their parents, and then having no way of finding their parents, creepy men behaving badly, Trump embracing dictators and ignoring our allies.
