Here's a challenge for you ...

Can anyone cite a single time that Trump did the right thing for the country and its people? And of course, I mean the right thing from the start – not being forced to back down or reverse a position after-the-fact.

Can anyone cite a single instance where Trump said the right/appropriate thing on an official occasion, or in response to an event?

Can anyone cite a single Trump policy that has been for the benefit of middle-class citizens that hasn’t benefited the wealthy to a far greater degree?

Can anyone cite a single occasion when Trump met or spoke with a foreign leader and didn’t embarrass the United States while doing so?

Can anyone cite a single thing that Trump has done for the sick, the poor, or the homeless?

Can anyone cite a single Trump quote that will be remembered in years to come for its eloquence, its profundity – or even its truthfulness?

Can anyone cite a single time that Trump said or did something that was even remotely ‘presidential’?



Take your time – I’ll wait.

...and that's because he's a sociopath and Mafia boss in the guise of a "President". He literally doesn't know what the public good is, or what being presidential is...

He's a sociopath and they don't concern themselves with what's good for others, but rather only what's good for them and their inflated egos.

For some reason the day he posed with the Navaho Code Talker elders under the portrait of
Andrew Jackson and said something like "We have an Indian in Congress. I call her Pocahontas."
sticks out to me as so low.
Referring to Elizabeth Warren. The Code Talkers seemed stunned. I know I was. Such disrespect
is his MO.

i believe he wakes in the mid morning, reviews the direction the people of this country want to head towards, and decides to do the opposite .. out of malevolent intentions, evil fuckery, and because he's a dick.
he's always been that way ..

Maybe staring into the solar eclipse was close to doing the right thing though.

He was boarding the Marine One helicopter on a windy day. A gust of wind blew the guard's hat off. Naturally, the guard had to remain at attention, so trump bent over, picked it up, and placed it on the guard's head. He then gave him a little pat on the shoulder and boarded the helicopter.

OK not much, but it showed a little humanity.

"Remotely presidential" or even humane?

Keep them coming.

You know how much Trump loves being criticized by an intelligent woman....... so keep it up........

You, Hunter Thompson, and Molly Ivins are my heroes.
