national security, FFS? The NSA, maybe? All he has to do is tweet something insulting about Kim Jong Il and all of a sudden they're tossing nukes around. Jesus on a pogo stick, the guy is a fucking idiot.

While it couldn't be done 'officially,' by the government, for 1st amendment reasons, it SHOULD be done for national security reasons.

Shouting fire in a crowded theatre (Schenck v. U.S.) isn't protected speech, and just about very time Trump applies his tiny orange fingers to his iPhone he's doing exactly that.

I just like seeing him stick his foot in his mouth each and every time. Maybe his supporters will finally get the idea that he's a lame-brain dimwit they elected.

is a club where people get together for chit chat and have a good time. What the hell is wrong with this imbecile? No intelligence ever shows in him that I can perceive, if this nation survives another four years under his "leadership" I will be truly amazed.

to do something as rudimentary as check out their website, he could get a clue. But of course he is too stupid to understand the abyss of his ignorance and incompetence. What an embarrassment to anyone who did not do everything they could to avert the catastrophe of his presidency.

Maybe somebody could pass the doofus a little note explaining that, among other things, UNICEF and UNHCR are providing massive assistance and temporary housing to MILLIONS of refugees--many of them escaping death from his boss in Moscow. Not that he could comprehend the meaning of that or give a damn...

How about just ignoring them?????? Then he might be forced to hold a news conference and show his utter ignorance to better display.
