Sen. Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii) said Sunday that President Trump “struggles with basics” of being commander in chief.

“Part of being President is driving federal agencies to work together and get the job done. Another part is moral leadership.”

to say Trump struggles implies that he cares about getting better when clearly he does not. this is someone who mocks disabled people for their disability and says he would have sex with his own daughter. the guy is a sociopath with absolutely zero redeeming qualities. Trump is a lowlife scumbag POS and proud of it.
