aren't super high because of all the "great" things he has done. (We've all heard that inaccurate list of accomplishments.).

Though other Presidents may have privately thought or even discussed with top aides their belief that they weren't getting as much credit as they deserved, they didn't post or publicly speak of it.

What I wonder is if he ever privately questioned if he is not good enough. He knows everything he has done, he shouldn't really think he is a good person.

No matter how much gold the bloviator surrounds himself with, or how much money he has, he will always be a trashy thug with no class.

He puts on external images but never has developed any class or integrity in his internal self. Inside himself, he is like his old buildings that looked glittery when built, but were made with shabby materials and short cuts so that they crumble without maintenance and are just a shell containing interior rot.

However, like all bullies, he's desperately trying to convince himself that fear is the same thing. It isn't. And he's not getting enough of that, either.

Anyway, deep down, he knows it's not the same. He knows. It's one of the things that makes him the most vengeful.

The role of Presidential Photographer is to capture the action, humor, and suspense of the president, but also to remain as unobtrusive as possible. With Trump, every photo of him looks like a photo op, deliberately faked with no substance. You get a feeling he brought everyone into the room and told them to pose dramatically, then he ruined it with the stupid hat.

What person his age doesn’t have some issues. I wish people would stop saying he looks like he’s on his way out. Nothing would make me happier, but that clearly is not the case. Not that he can’t suffer a heart attack or a stroke at any time. That would be good, but his issues are not life threatening. What we should be concerned about is his mental health not his physical health. That is on display every day. That is the real problem.

I know because i have had that problem. If he has congestive heart failure, he would most likely be on oxygen. He would constantly be out of breath. My sister has that and is on oxygen 24/7. I read about all the doctor’s opinions about his health but they always preface it with they have never seen him or seen his test results. Pure speculation. His mental health is on display every day whether on TS or TV and that is really telling. He is failing mentally, no question. Believe me, I would love to see him gone either way. I think everyone is reading too much into it because we want him gone so bad.

I know a lot of people years younger that would like to have his pretty common issues. Some people are just lucky to get to be that age after not taking care of their health. Outside of a heart attack or a stroke, he could be around for quite a while…….sorry to say. But no, don’t tell me I think he is in great shape.

Quote from the 1993 movie "Tombstone:"

Wyatt Earp: What makes a man like Ringo, Doc? What makes him do the things he does?

Doc Holliday: A man like Ringo has got a great big hole, right in the middle of him. He can never kill enough, or steal enough, or inflict enough pain to ever fill it.

Wyatt Earp: What does he need?

Doc Holliday: Revenge.

Wyatt Earp: For what?

Doc Holliday: Bein' born.

Second, susie is wearing an apple fit watch. Also not "secure". Third, think about the fact that, for something of this magnitude, he couldn't even be bothered to actually get his diapered ass up to the WH, choosing instead to party with his sycophants like this was some fucking party. And fourth, no matter what he does, it will not erase the image of the WH Situation Room with President Obama and Secretary Clinton.
