THE TRUMP PRESIDENCY IS ALREADY A JOKE

[DemocratSinceBirth]

It can reasonably be said that our dear leader is now the most ridiculed man on the planet. In fact, he may well be the most ridiculed man in history. For a preening narcissist who takes himself terribly seriously, being the butt of the joke heard round the world has got to hurt. The handpicked assortment of craven nitwits and supplicants that he has surrounded himself with have valiantly tried to insulate him from the derision. But they’re only human. Your heart has to go out to the ones doing the heavy lifting: banty Sean Spicer, the M. C. Escher of the English language, and Kellyanne Conway, the president’s temperament fluffer. (Look away from CNN, Mr. President. There’s something shiny and bright over there!) Engaging as it is to watch these overworked mouthpieces, I fear their days must be numbered. Comments about microwaves that turn into spy cameras and what should be understood when the president puts words in quotation marks are having minimal effect in reducing the scorn heaped upon their boss. Hats off to them for their tenacity, but no amount of spin is going to change the fact that the Trump White House, like the company its inhabitant has run for the past four decades, continues to be a shambolic mess.



Trump’s one brief moment of acting presidential—when he read off a teleprompter for 60 minutes and 10 seconds during his address to Congress—served only to show just how low the bar for presidential behavior has plummeted since January. Watching TV commentators applaud him for containing himself for a little over an hour was like hearing a parent praise a difficult child for not pooping in his pants during a pre-school interview. Besides, vintage Trump is not going anywhere anytime soon. A couple of weeks earlier, during a visit by the Japanese prime minister, Shinzō Abe, the president told an acquaintance that he was obsessed with the translator’s breasts—although he expressed this in his own, fragrant fashion.

6. So when he was supposed to be having a diplomatic meeting

with our ally, he was talking about her (translator's) tits to someone else in the room? Yeah, he'll be making great deals that way.

He has no discipline.

Yeah, the SOTU address was about him not going off the rails and saying, "bring me your virgin daughters to f@$k". Pretty low standard.

7. "Trumps one brief moment of acting presidential when he read off a teleprompter for 60 minutes... "

A moment in which Gump lied 51 times, used the spouse of a slain SEAL as a political prop, and brought up an initiative that has overt ties to Nazi Germany (VOICE).

Even in his supposed finest hour, Gump acted anything but Presidential.
