The only American that has benefitted from this disaster is G W Bush. Even the 60 million who erroneously voted for him are financially worse off--but it's because of minorities, homosexuals, abortions, and them thar Moose-lims (Just ask them). It can't be because of the top-down tax plan or his "perfect" tariffs.

protesting him with signs on specific topics, which he never sees and would ignore if he did see them, we shoild have large turnouts wherever he appears and laugh loudly, using megaphones. Add some recorded laughter to spare our voices.

Imagine Trump facing laughter wherever he goes. No way to ignore it unless he uses ear plugs, which could then be publicized and exploited with signs reading "Ha Ha Donny."

I smell smoke in the auditorium

Donald Trump, Donald Trump
He's a clown, that Donald Trump
He's gonna get caught; just you wait and see

(Why's everybody always pickin' on me?)

That's him on his knees, I know that's him
Yellin' Devin come eleven down in the boys' gym

Donald Trump, Donald Trump
He's a clown, that Donald Trump,
He's gonna get caught; just you wait and see

(Why's everybody always pickin' on me?)

Who's always writing on the wall?
Who's always poopin' in the hall?
Who's always throwin' spit balls?

Guess who (Who, me?)…

8. 40% of the country more determined than ever to leave NATO

I know he's a laughingstock. I'm just pointing out the effect I think this will have on the deplorables. If they weren't thinking about NATO before, they are now. When he announces he's pulling the US out, they will think he's restoring US pride. I can see it now. He'll yell "NATO, You're Fired" at a rally and be responded to with deafening cheers.

We must impeach him. The world needs to see us standing up for American values. It's a shame we can't add incompetence and immorality to the articles of impeachment.

Sixty percent is bigger than 40 percent. So how come the 40 percent gets all the attention and all the influence??????

What are WE the 60+ percent in the MAJORITY then? Chopped liver???

I certainly am not going to be on bended knee to what the fucking 40 percent wants. Especially since THEIR side CHEATS!!!

But, anticipate the response so we're one step ahead.

Talking about the 40% should never be treated like heresy. This is war. Know your enemy.

...thing Trump is affected by.

He can't feel shame but is keenly attuned to being diminished. Apart frpm tax issues, I'm sure that's why he moved out of NY. NY rich circles laugh a him.
