What a good boy! You went a whole day without pooping in your pants. Good boy!

So read the media story of Himself's trip to Vegas.

He "found his voice"

He was "empathetic"





People, those are minimum standards for being a human. The bar for the president is a little higher, dontcha think?

These “fluff-up,” enabling statements by Paul Ryan and other Repugs really make my blood boil. Nobody wants a president “who’s still learning,” especially when he’s not learning a goddamned thing. And with so much dirty dealing, law-skirting, general cluelessness and fumbling around. Not to mention the RUSSIA THING.

Funny, I don’t remember Obama enjoying a no-limit, all-you-can-fuck-up grace period with Republicans in Congress.

tRump is like the worst drunk at a party who’s utterly full of bullshit but can’t shut up, and who keeps spilling his drinks on other guests. Sooner or later he’s going to corner YOU.

Surprising.

They applaud him for roboticly reading a speech written by somebody else. He didn't mean a word of it. Watch for his tweets.

Let him go out and find his mind, compassion and empathy to fill up some of that hollow space in his soul.

Putting it another way, one attaboy doesn't cancel a thousand ah shits.

There aren't enough electrons in the universe to list all the ways he has savaged, insulted and ruined everything and everyone he's come in contact with.

He read a speech written by some wonk in the West Wing. BFD.

He had his best smile on.

His actions and words in Puerto Rico and against the Mayor of San Juan make him a complete failure as a President as well as a human being. He had already shown us this before, but it cinched it for me in Puerto Rico.

He has Trump hotel there. Obviously he cares about Las Vegas. His attempts to have any glitzy real estate in Puerto Rico ended in bankruptcy. So obviously he dislikes Puerto Rico. Is there anything more to think about his actions?

His supposed 'redemption' with Las Vegas will not last. His next tweet will take care of that.

It's obvious he changes completely when in a red zone - especially where he has property, all carefully planned by his minders.

In Vegas (red zone): Full of sympathy and support, very scripted with little off-the-cuff. Has property interests there.

Puerto Rico (blue zone): Rabid asshole. Mean spirited and cutting, no sympathy and conditional support. No financial interests there.
