tax cuts from the ocean view of their vacation homes must think the public is entirely made up of rubes who eagerly down whatever shit is fed them. Other than the ignorant cadre of FAUX "News" addicts, Americans are well aware that Trump is an embarrassing boob who can barely read whatever script is handed to him. He has the audacity to drag his entire grifting clan to meet the queen on the taxpayer dime, then manages not to insult Bette Midler in front of elderly WWII vets (though he was sorely tempted), and that is somehow praiseworthy? Even for the corporate whores, who deserve every bit of ridicule, this is a new low. "Eloquent?" Andrea Mitchell has nothing on Pinocchio.
