Donald Trump is not a smart man.

Donald Trump is not a smart man.If you’re going to start your proclamations with “hereby” like some bad imitation of a monarch, at least get it right. The president of the United States twice tried to use this word on Friday afternoon and twice failed.






He got it on the third try.





The explanation for this series of tweets is that Trump is mad that Democrats are criticizing Attorney General Jeff Sessions for lying under oath about his communications with the Russian government. Trump has (sarcastically? no one knows) called for an investigation of Chuck Schumer, and now Nancy Pelosi, for meeting with Russian officials, even though neither lied about it under oath, the way Jeff Sessions did.

His inability to spell aside, it is worth noting the casual way the president is using the power of his office to launch vindictive investigations against his opponents. He may be dumb, but, as usual, it’s no laughing matter.

are not the same as meeting with foreign officials to fix an election. But he knows that. He's trying to re-direct the flock of sheep that follow him.

So the people surrounding him are dumb, we know this already.

Donald Trump is an extremely ignorant, uneducated person. He paid someone to do his studies for him in school as was done for W.

He knows absolutely nothing about business, hotels, golf courses, contracts etc per the biographer who knows him as well as anyone. Who says he is unable to read beyond a 4th grade level or that he has never seen him read.

It is clear this man is not intelligent, has the vocabulary of a 12 year old and everything he does and says proves the reality that this is a dumb person.

He will do anything Putin tells him to do or any nazi like Bannon.

The election was stolen, everyday we act as if it wasnt we are in greater peril.

One of my friends liked the page, I saw that he had done it in a discussion here, so I told him he might want to fix it on his Facebook page.

I saw it on CNN and it had been fixed.

I'm gonna take credit for it. I'm calling it 'hearby-a-Lago'. Utilizing my new suffix for scandals.
