For me, this is the most confusing thing about Trump. Trump is smart when it comes to misleading the news media because he has 50 years of practice. He is smart about protecting himself because for 50 years he learned from the dirtiest lawyers in America. Besides that, Trump is a dumb incompetent mother fucker.
He has run the Whitehouse, our government with complete incompetence. He knows nothing, cares about nothing, has no beliefs, does not educate himself on issues, fires everybody, hires corrupt people, does not look ahead, does not care about consequences of his actions, takes advise from Fox News hosts, lies about everything to everybody. Threatens everyone including our allies.
He does all of this and more and he never pays a big price. It's bizarre, one day that luck may end suddenly and violently.

That will not happen here unless the PEOPLE VOTE in 2020. At the Ballot Box is where we have our power. We have a Constitution even a president must adhere to. Congressional Republicans? VOTE them out!
