This is the best first week for Trump we could have hoped for. Yes, best. [View all]

In your wildest dreams did you think he would be this flat footed? He would have spent his first week talking about crowd size? That his new White House would leak like a sieve? That he would hold signing ceremonies for executive orders that are illegal or are being laughed at by everyone?

Did you think the GOP would be ready to hang him or themselves at day 7? That all of your apolitical friends would end up activists against the idiot? That he would misspell the British PMs name, or have Mexico order him to stop talking about the damned wall? Or that he really has NO way to pay for the wall and no EO can help him? Or that the GOP and the whole damned country would be defending ObamaCare?

Honestly, he is a joke, he made himself a joke, and the whole country knows it and the GOP knows if it goes along with him they will be laughing stocks too?

We all knew he was nuts but in the back of my mind I thought he'd hide it long enough to screw us over royally. But never in a thousand years did I think he would flub it so bad on day on. I know, its hard to imagine it will be this good going forward but maybe it will. They have never been able to tame him for long. His BS act just does not play on a world stage. He's going to have to spend a lot of time and energy just to get back to square one, if he can.
