Literally anyone I work with would be a better president than Trump

...anyone I know personally, for that matter.

That's pretty disturbing, to me. Trump is the laziest, most unconcerned, uncaring individual I've ever seen in politics. It's all made more glaring by his amazingly foolhardy tweets attacking everyone around him like an insecure bully with a severe emotional disorder.

There are children who I would trust in the Oval Office more than I trust Trump, no exaggeration. We wouldn't tolerate this behavior from a child, but we're like parents cowed by a spoiled brat. There is no logic, no responsible reason to allow Trump to continue in that office.

This complicit negligence by the people we put in place to oversee the Executive is a crime against the nation. Their dysfunctional enabling of this deranged despot needs to end.

My dog would make a better president. At least she loves everyone.

But then I thought that her kisses and tail wags wouldn't be useful during serious negotiations. The body language isn't concealed too easily.

*I'd* be a better President and in reality I'd be somewhat incompetent. To my credit, I wouldn't be tweeting anything at all (don't happen to do that) and I wouldn't spend one minute on a golf course, either. Of course, you'd have trouble keeping me from attending the several science fiction cons I like to go to each year, but I'd still spend more time at the WH trying to do something useful each week than Trump has done in a year or more.

That bothers me.

Now when i look back at W, he doesn't even seem as bad. And I know he was awful!

Unless, of course, our current president IS a Russian "bot".
