Thought it was decided on the other end. Trump is a weasel, he choked when he want to Mexico, he can't control everyone. As soon as those around him starts saying no he will get off his high horse.

Little things, big things, all of it easily verifiable, but it doesn't stop him. The press calls him out, comedians are mocking him, his poll numbers are in the toilet, and he's still lying to everyone about everything.

I have a dark appreciation of Bradbury's, "Something Wicked This Way Comes", and I'm scared.

Either that, or he's so insulated inside a Breitbart bubble, that no truth can reach him. He apparently doesn't realize that everyone else sees this. Or like you say, he doesn't care.

Once his failed policies begin to take effect and his numbers start to take a dive with his Deplorables, will he wise up any?

The free world wants to know.

A few seconds fixing something saves thousands of seconds as readers go "WTF, oh, now I see what I guess the poster meant, probably".

but he's at least smart enough to know that if he met with Cheeto (again) he probably wouldn't have a job--or a house even--to come back to.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/right-turn/wp/2017/01/25/maybe-trump-isnt-lying/?utm_term=.b72567b1580f

i think he needs to be gone from office sooner than later. this course of events is unfolding so fast, there's so much shit landing every minute it seems, the USA it seems to me is at real risk of being totally destabilized. then anything goes. and i blame the republicans as much as trump. they're amoral pigs without a single ethic between all of them, and they could do something about this but it looks like they won't, until it's too late for us all.

about government and governance that America is vulnerable - I don't like it - he lacks the capacity for the position.
