Notice the words "President Trump".
They start with a p and end with a p.
PP as in PP tapes. Vlad Putin has got Trumpp
by his gonads.

As dire as all this shit is, I had to laugh at that. It's Romper Room play hour at the WH

He truly is a dumbass!

Didn't his father have some choice words similar to that about Donald? Arrogant and stupid?

Video and animation are constantly mentioned by the briefers as the best way to entertain the idiot.

often wondered if he has dyslexia and that’s why he doesn’t read. Someone his age would not have been screened for that in grade school. Someone my age (60’s) would not have been screened. He’s so narcissistic that even if he was told as an adult maybe he was dyslexic he would deny it or refuse help. Could be that, or he’s just lazy and doesn’t want to read.

He is probably just lazy.

I did have an acquaintance that acted very similar, though. He showed many signs of dyslexia or perhaps just could not read. We were in a band together and he couldn't read lyrics or order food while we were practicing. Things like that!

We never figured out exactly what his problem was, but his mom is wealthy and paid all his bills.

I don't know

He wants power, fame, respect and adoration but doesn't realize that you have to work for all of that. He is used to riding the gravy train off of Daddy's name and money. When Daddy's money ran out, he borrowed from anyone who was stupid enough to front him more. He has never, ever done a hard or honest days work in his miserable life.

He isn't ready for an Oscar as Best Actor but he sure is good enough to con people his entire 74 years. If his niece's book is allowed out, I am sure she will provide many more examples of his acting abilities (acted like a decent son, acted like a successful businessman, acted like he cared about this country, etc). He is too LAZY to do anything for real, acting comes easily to him.

able to prioritize, intervene, and even cover for the man at the top. No such luck. They're all incompetent hacks.

That man is so fucking grossly incompetent and it's on every goddamn republican who voted to 'acquit' that bastard in the senate along with all the rest of his goddamned enablers....

How have we survived this long with this dipshit at the helm, or rather, "pretending" to be at the helm?
