What a frigging national embarrassment he is...

I try to stay away from video/audio with Trump. It just sickens me to watch him in action. But I clicked on a real short video of him signing whatever it was on the other day. He really is like a developmentally challenged child. Some posters reference the Twilight Zone episode with Billy Mummy. I'd agree with that one, maybe not 100%. I don't remember Billy being portrayed as an imbecile.

The way he surrounds himself with fawning sycophants...The big phony smiles and clapping madly. "Oh look, little Donny signed his name, isn't that grand!" And that's really all he does, I am quite sure he never has read anything he signs, probably because he can't. I think he's probably able to read individual words, but for anything over a small paragraph he's already forgotten the first part of the document.

Then he signs his name WITH A MAGIC MARKER and a flourish and the canned applause erupts. I really makes me sick, literally. Sometime I just can feel stuff coming up when I watch him in action.

I don't remember that Billy Mumy Twilight Zone character being stupid, either. He was childish (he was, after all, a child), but he wasn't stupid.

Trump is worse than that kid on the Twilight Zone.
