A set of blocks, maybe? Build little towers so he can knock them down and laugh?

some sort of closed circuit thing where he can see his BS posted and there's no feedback but all those nasty memes retweeted by Russian trolls, added to his "twits" later by Ivanka or Jared or whoever his keeper is that day.

It's either that or introduce him to spinners. Or just break his fingers.

If he doesn't have his nap he gets cranky."

Are these people presidential aids or babysitters?

This is INSANE!!!!

But it is insane for the sane, not for the republicans, they are very happy with this arrangement because the orange child is the perfect decoy for them to do their dirty work and go unnoticed.

See how no one is talking about their misdeeds, all the destruction they are doing in the background...

The real danger of Donald Trump is not that he is an idiot who knows nothing about anything, that he craps every time he opens his mouth, or when he twitts, that his children are benefiting from his being in the WH, but that he, and his children are the decoy...

Somewhere in the White House right now, there's an intern clutching 45's smartphone and hiding it from him while he stalks the halls, searching, desperate to tweet:

and saying "Who's a good boy? You are our smart little man!" during meetings - or any time, really - probably pays pretty well. It would have to pay a king's ransom to get me anywhere nearby.

told him it wouldn't be a good idea. Since when has Trump listened to ANYONE though? He's the "smartest man in the room" and knows more than any of them.

Then when Donnie Jr.'s phone started having a tweet attack, I wondered....."would he tweet on Dimwit Jr.'s phone, so people wouldn't THINK it was him"? I'm still not convinced he didn't.
