Moron in Chief now taking credit for planes not crashing
By Barbara Morrill
Tuesday Jan 02, 2018 · 9:32 AM EST


The guy is truly nuts:




Uh, Donald? Hate to break it to you, but:

Nobody died in a crash of a United States-certificated scheduled airline operating anywhere in the world in 2016.

This probably should no longer qualify as “news.”

That’s because it is the seventh straight year that nobody died in a crash on a United States-certificated scheduled airline operating anywhere in the world.

But in his eyes he really is doing a great job - remember, no one died of Bubonic Plague anywhere in the world last year, too.

Since I have this rock, I haven't been attacked by a tiger, even though I live in a city that doesn't have any tigers in it, near it or are native to the area.

by the orange asshole making this claim, he thinks he's that magic rock.

He is a rock but there is nothing magic about him and the "rock" is located where is brain should be.

His grandiosity will become worse after the signing of the tax bill.
He considers this a huge personal success and it will embolden him.

that was "very strict on commercial aviation." I am sure he never discussed it with anyone.

No deaths from saber-tooth tiger attacks, meteorite strikes, alien invasion or vampires since he took office.
He wants us to know that we should just be grateful to be alive.

Doesn't bother to gather information. Just opens his mouth and takes credit for the sun's journey from east to west.
