1. Typical republican

No discernible marketable skills. Hey I’m a pretty horrible human being, I guess I’ll just automatically gravitate to the party of responsibility and honesty. I’m sure I can flourish there. Just fill in the name.

5. Was he actually trying to negotiate?

I thought he just wanted to show off in front of Putin.

7. He embarrassed the United States
