Wow. And I thought W was bad.

First day of the Drumpf presidency. He brings his cheerleader squad to the CIA, and then insults the memories of fallen CIA agents by breaking with etiquette to give an angry political speech in front of the wall of stars. Then he instructs Spicer to lie repeatedly about a bunch of easily verified facts.

He's insane.

Same thing he did at his last press conference. Brought in staffers to sit at the side and laugh at his jokes, cheer at his applause lines.

Amazing.

The CNN CIA reporter Jim Sciutto was clearly expressing sentiment from The Company. That's part of building trust. They leak things for reasons and he has to be trusted by them. He was PISSED and it showed.

I thought it was odd that agents would applaud.

president in American history.

Or at best, maybe he will be second worst after James Buchanan.

and he was easily manipulated by the evil fucking assholes around him, but he wasn't a mean-spirited, narcissistic pussy-grabber.

I'd take him over Cheeto any day.

about ordinary people. He wouldn't allow himself to be burdened by those thoughts. But he knew not to be so vulgar in public.

He also was good for a laugh at his expense once in awhile.

Still is for that matter.
