The ads just keep coming right from trumps own mouth. He is his own worst enemy, or at least his lying mouth is!

As long as I draw breath, neither Trump nor his lying mouth is his worst enemy.

EDIT: After the second viewing, I took a sober moment to appreciate the pain our fellow human beings are enduring... that is what is the most important aspect of all this is. I kind of feel embarrassed that my initial thought was primarily for my candidate scoring a good ad.

I don't think it would have flown over well then and with 160,000 dead by the time I get done with this sentence, it's definitely not okay for an impeached pResident to day it either.

Don't trouble yourself. Do what makes you happy. Other than voting, this will be over soon. It better be over soon.

Those are cardboard caskets arranged between chairs, row on row, because there are so many dead. Along with the families touching hands from each side of a window, that's an image I will never be able to forget. Dismissing all the pain and death with, "it is what it is" is pathological. This ad does a very good job of making that plain.

....and went back to look again. Didn't notice the chairs for scale until after reading "Head" on one end of a box and thinking "are those coffins?" Mass produced, cheap coffins with the emphasis on the word "mass".

It is what it is. That will be Trump's signature line. Think of it.

Washington had, "It is better to offer no excuse than a bad one."

Lincoln had, "...that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

Roosevelt had, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself."

Truman had, "The buck stops here."

Kennedy had, "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country."

Obama had, "We are the change we seek."

Trump?

"I don't take any responsibility." "It is what it is."

A horrible human being and the worst, absolute worst, president in American history.
