Or, the King of 140 character thoughts. Not 140 words, but 140 alphabet letters or symbols.
We've watched in growing horror as he's profoundly insulted just about every single ethnicity, gender, nation, perceived and real enemies as well as so-called "friends". I'm hard pressed to think of anyone who has escaped his taunts and, like I said, comic book insults (using words like crooked, nasty woman, low energy, not a nice person, terrible, loser, ad nauseam) and anything that has to do with his accomplishments reside in the realm of superlatives (biggest, most ever, winner, never before in history, your head would spin, best ever, and me, me, me, myself and I am really, really, very, very smart..., and rich. Lots of really, really, very, very important adverbs. No action is good enough in itself. It always needs to be modified into majorly biglyness with many adverbs. As I wrote above, comic book jargon for people who grew up never reading anything else. And I think comics books are one of the best ways to get children to love reading. But I also think it's good to read more complex literature, such as found in novels with completed sentences and fleshed out thoughts and a story to tell. Ya know, reading comprehension stuff.
But we have never heard him say one single word against Putin. Not one. And after watching him on a daily basis for what seems forever I'm beginning to think the reason is not because he's pals with Putin. I think he actually does fear Putin. Especially after it took him more than 9 hours to respond to the Syrian gassing of innocent people, including children. Was it perhaps because they had to wait to get the go-ahead and what to actually say from Putin himself?
If that's true, and maybe some DUers will set me straight, this might mean that our estimation and ideas about Trump as supremely confident are incorrect. Putin is the one entity in all this mess who seems to be gaining ground in getting his heart's desire. Trump has basically given Putin more and more room to do what he pleases. I expect that to continue. Especially if Putin has something on Trump that makes Trump fear him. Why else would he say out of one side of his mouth that he's making the US "Great again" while signing away everything that actually makes the US great on a daily basis. Sometimes twice or more a day. Signing away all those things that Putin hates about us.

(14,920 posts)The weekend that Barron was at Mar-a-lago while his mom attended a fundraiser was one of the few times that the fake president chose to golf in Washington instead. Horrible excuse for a president, horrible excuse for a parent. Barron is better off without him, but still.....

(53,410 posts)that Barron is autistic and that Donald avoids him. I don't know if this is true but months ago Tom Arnold says he heard Trump refer to Barron as a retard in the Apprentice. No one paid much attention at the time. But it explains why Melania may want Barron to stay in the school he's in and why she has him by her side when they're all in public. It also explains why she claims one of her interests is the issue of bullying. Barron may have suffered some bullying.

Unless Barron gets a security clearance, I don't think anyone here will be picking on the child.

(53,410 posts)And I never will. I've heard exactly what I wrote and the issue is not about the child. It's about his asshole father.
