CNN re: Trump 100 Days: "He thought winning presidency would be like being crowned Miss Universe"



Today on CNN’s, The Lead with Jake Tapper, guest Michelle Cottle discussed President Donald Trump expectation that being Commander in Chief was like winning a beauty pageant.

“He thought being President was a little bit like winning Miss Universe,” the contributing editor of The Atlantic explained. “If you can get the crown, then everybody needs to be nice to you and you get to go around and accept the well wishers’ greetings.”

That made no sense to him so he thought anyone who is president will be loved. But he is better than Obama (a black man) so they would love him even more and it would be deserved.

The thought process of a racist ignorant asshole.

Think of how irritated he was by the "weakness" associated with the portrayal of Spice boy on SNL

He will surely perceive this portrayal....
of him as a pageant queen ---in swimsuit & pumps...
as the epitome of weakness!!!!!!!

TwitterRant Alert!!!!
