especially his tax returns.

But I'm sort of glad he's not holding regular press conferences. I can't stand to listen to the dork. And he's making headlines left, right (mostly right) and center despite not standing at a podium.

It may also be that he's overwhelmed by all the preparations and the scale and scope of the presidency, so he's not feeling confident -- imagine that -- due to being beyond his depth.

In addition, if this leads to more and more cries that he's not accountable, that's fine by me too. Stay away from the microphones, Don the Con!

In their role model Comrade Casino (R) they have the fulfillment of their freaking degenerate Republican "family values" and their repudiation of American values like respect, dignity, integrity, service, and honor. It so ticks me off when I hear draft-dodger Trump and his clubbie Republican cabal insult and demean our US servicemen and servicewomen. A Republican clown with Five Military Deferments is not fit to be their "commander in chief."

Republicans and their sneaky Russian allies should be ashamed of themselves for foisting this classless, boorish Draft Dodger on our troops, never mind his - Deferments - from answering questions in a press conference.

Or plan to extract himself from his conflict of interest business ventures
Or plan to replace Obamacare
Or plan to build the wall
Or plan to get those rust belt jobs back
Or denouncing Russian involvement in election
Or denouncing white supremacists
Or plan for deportations
Or plan for getting rid of common core
Or plan for a Muslim registry

Orrrrr....oh ya. Nothing different than when he was campaigning. Not doing shit but tweeting about petty slights, advancing fake news stories, advancing complete lies, calling out private citizens to open them up to threats and derision, insulting other countries we have decades long agreements and associations with, and meeting with Kayne.

He's gonna make America something alright!
