Just when he envisioned himself taking his star turn...

There is something innately wrong with this moronic buffoon.
The most tragic and saddening aspect of this? We all knew it years ago.

my evangelical sister-in-law trust and buy the shit trump is selling, when those of us on the left see right through it.
Conversely, we all see and understand the truth of Barack and Michelle Obama - while others hurl heinous untrue slurs and insults at them.
Yes, some are cynical and self-serving, but there also seems to be something intrinsic that makes folks adhere to one side or the other. And you will never change their minds.

Would it perhaps be more ethical to build a nice home for this variety of individuals? We could build a really nice huge lot with all the amenities. Since most of them really hate most of us, we could put up a nice pretty wall to keep us from pestering them with questions.
Since most of them are already southerners, perhaps an area around Texas would be sufficient? I'm sure that they won't suffer from climate change or lack of aquifer water because they are "conservatives". The fracking earthquakes will be like music to them.
And I bet the Mexicans would gladly build that wall between Texas (remember the Alamo!) and their hard-working people.

(15,805 posts)a dangerous one, but he's still a world renown buffoon. He's been babbling "fake news" for so long it's like his theme song. Even when proven wrong, time after time, when the facts are undeniable and the evidence is incriminating, he's stuck in la-la land and gibbering "fake news" like a man who should locked away in a mental institution, or Club Fed.

According to Larry Summers just now in Andrea Mitchell, the fundamentals right now are not indicating conditions that will benefit working people here in the long term - despite the stock market bubble. Thats why Ive moved some of my retirement savings out of higher risk investments. Also Im about 5 years from retirement.

More likely as reported because he is getting ready to try and fire him again.

(7,506 posts)not Trump. He is not self aware enough to be humiliated. In his mind anyone who doesn't agree with him is not worth bothering with.

(15,303 posts)Maybe when the repuglicans start to realize that they are being humiliated also, maybe they'll start to wake up from their $lumber.
Doubt it. Under-the-influence.
