Even Conservatives know he is stupid.

Unless you’re one of the millions of mindless sheep who’ve been brainwashed and conned into believing that Donald Trump is competent enough to be president, it’s very likely that you’re absolutely ashamed and embarrassed that someone as mentally inept as he is will soon be our nation’s leader.

Even now, it’s still mind-boggling that over 60 million people voted for a man for president who can’t even control himself on social media. He’s a mental infant who often sends out tweets that resemble something a petulant teenager with a small vocabulary might post instead of a 70-year-old man who’s about to become President of the United States.

As our future president might say.. SAD!

While most Republicans have long since sold out to the man many of them once spoke of almost as negatively as they do President Obama, there are still some out there who aren’t afraid to speak out against Trump.

One of those individuals happens to be conservative radio host Charlie Sykes. During an interview with MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell the two men discussed potential issues with Trump’s tweeting. with Sykes offering his suggestion as to why our next president seems so addicted to the social media site.

that nut case president. They find an excuse for every stupid thing he does. I saw a guy at the gym with a Drain the Swamp shirt on. I said Trump was on Hillary
about making speeches at GS and now he brings those people in his administration. His answer "They are smart people".

They'll keep it up, no matter what. Trump was right about one thing: he could shoot someone in Times Square and it wouldn't matter to his base. If he has one talent, it is sizing up the target of his sales pitch and pulling them in.

Sykes is from Milwaukee near me: he was always against DT and I'm glad he hasn't caved.

hold a press conference because he is unable to answer even the most rudimentary questions on policy, foreign or domestic. Instead, he has to rely on short tweets which do not speak to the myriad problems facing our country and generally are nothing more than insults and lies about people whom he disagrees with. Truth be known he is, as far as the presidency is concerned, an illiterate dolt.

Republicans better do a welfare-check on their future president, no tweet for 23 hours. He's slacking & all out of focus, the butler can't get him dressed. He has to at least wear pants and a robe!

but I'm sure that they'll be fine with him as long as he will sign whatever they send him. It will be interesting to see how well they will be able to control him. I doubt that there is enough makeup in all of Russia to make Trump look like a good national/world leader.

he's a tool for the true power brokers in that city of corruption. Trump is only kept around because he is the representative figurehead of the white racist supremacist group(s) now in power in D.C. Tsunami coming and it won't stop at the coast. Since ameriKKKa is such a democracy the white male racists will obfuscate, distract and divert attentions away from their true goal....the white male in power to stay........and the world will go on, around us. until someone slips up and pushes the wrong button.....
