he actually believes he was president in 2014. He believes he rules the world, and that no one ever did anything until the idea has passed through his maggot encrusted brain years afterward. That, and he'll never give President Obama credit for anything whatsoever.

He surrounded himself with his golf club friends to attack the head of a co-equal branch of government, the Speaker of the House, call her nasty Nancy and attack other Democrats and not callthe party'sname correctly.

This cannot continue.

"Dirty" Donny, "Dirtbag" Donny, "Dishonest" Donny, "Dim" Donny, "Dotard" Donny, the list is almost endless. They should pick one, or all of them, and start insulting the imbecile like he does everyone else. I realize it seems childish, and lowering one's self to his level is stooping amazingly low, but it's something his supporters would understand since they're not capable of higher brain activity.

Lock him up.

given to him by the GOP, and all the power behind them. They brought him to the dance, it is their policies that he's enacting, and they could stop the music at any time. The unstoppable is because of Republican controlled states, Republican State Courts, the Barr Justice System, and the corruption of all of our federal agencies, by the GOP.

He wasn't much to begin with, but he's barely able to talk now and when he does talk, nothing he says is remotely coherent.

Just caught a short while ago, unfortunately, about 10 seconds of Trump saying in his droning voice, “Joe Biden, Sleepy Joe,” and a few moments later, “Nancy Pelosi, Crazy Nancy.” This unseemly effort to normalize his disparaging names for his political opponents is ridiculous from someone who expects to be taken seriously.

Therefore, given his thin skin, I will henceforth refer to him as “Donald Trump, Donnie Dimwit,” as one of his siblings, IIRC, described the childhood nickname his peers had given him, and which he apparently did not like (go figure). Two can play this game of trying to associate a critical description to a name.

At least in the case of “Donnie Dimwit,” it’s based on his history and real lack of intelligence.

Pass it on.
