Donald Trump keeps telling everyone how brilliant and great he is. And yet, each day of his presidency has been a chaotic mess. The sloppiness of his administration is unlike anything in our nation's history.
Mr. Trump and his advisors have no idea how to behave in government and their international skills are lacking. We saw this with Mexico and its president and now we see it with England and its Prime Minister.
In a White House memo detailing the duos Oval Office meeting and joint press conference on Friday, staffers from the Office of the Press Secretary repeatedly spelled her name wrong. Instead of writing Theresa with an h, they wrote Teresa. In doing so, they confused May with the former British adult actress and model Teresa May of (almost) the same name.

Seriously, this is sloppy and stupid.

Does he have a plan?
And does anybody know what the tRump Doctrine is?
Again no plan. Just blatant incompetence.

They're functioning on sticking their chewing gum on the issues to make them work. Crossing their fingers and holding their breath in the hopes that will fix everything.

(22,037 posts)In his mind, I suspect, he believes that Prime Minister May was privileged to be in The Donald's presence. For him, protocol is what he says it is.
He's an idiot.

(22,037 posts)Each time I see a news photo of President Trump, I think, "How could anyone look at that man and trust him with their vote?"
Seriously, Donald Trump has polluted our culture for more than thirty years with his braggadocio and business failures yet 60+ million people thought he was better for our country than Hillary Clinton... or nearly anyone else, for that matter.

(22,037 posts)This election has shone a bright light on the disgusting underside of American culture. It has exposed all of the negative qualities that are embodied by Donald Trump.
It saddens and amazes me that we live among such ignorant, uneducated and heartless people.
