"Honey, guess what, I'm President of the United States, President of the United States.'"

President Trump reflected on becoming president Tuesday evening, telling the Florida audience that he had only been to Washington about “17 times” before he took office.

“I don’t think I ever stayed overnight,” he said of his time in Washington, adding that “probably seven of those times” were to check out his Trump International Hotel on Pennsylvania Ave.

“And then I’m riding down in this beautiful car, picked up by the Secret Service, holding the hand of our great first lady,” he said to applause.

“And I look at her and I say, ‘Honey, guess what, I’m President of the United States, President of the United States.’”
He continued, “And I didn’t know anybody in Washington, but now I know everybody in Washington, I know the good ones I know the bad ones, I know the wonderful people and I know the scum. And America now is winning again like they haven’t won before.”

How can anyone sit through one of his self serving rallies?

I would suspect that there is a reality check moment for anyone at a time such as that.

He would devasted if the TV press simply did not attend these rallies. They really aren’t newsworthy. No lights, no cameras. Send the written press in case he actually says something important. He loves surfing the channels seeing his fat ugly face everywhere, during his executive time.

Because he's still acting like an amateur golfer and Twitterer.
