So I yell. Most often, I just mute or change the channel when Dolt 45 comes on.

He was good at keeping things quiet and seeming to be normal and in charge in public. He never would have let it be known publicly that he was freaking out.

He was talking to JFK's portrait and said "All the sex you had, well, I can tell you there is no sex in Dick Nixon's White House."

Trumplethinskin cannot stand what is being said about him, yet cannot take himself away from the television or his Twitter account.

This man has shown the country and the world just how incompetent and unstable he really is.
