In case you thought Trump couldn't sink any lower, read this account of what happened today.

Trump again declares himself an “extremely stable genius,” in a news conference that began with him summoning his staffers to emphasize how calm he was in a meeting with lawmakers he walked out of yesterday.

or golf course or GOLF, has to cheat at golf.

He knows this: when he says something that ignorant people respond to, he repeats it...

He knows NOTHING else.

It is why he is the single greatest business failure in the history of business.

Trump and his spawn are not the smartest of our species.

Plus they are very protective. My grandfather always put a few in with his young calves. Any coyote or wild dog attempting to kill a calf would find itself stomped to death.

I really like them. Mean as hell, but loyal.

Or the "loser' of a 'fight'. Anything. Bc to them, it's just a game, bc, they don't know a GD thing. They fancy themselves brilliant engaging in politics, when they have no foundation for same.

When I first read of his tantrum walkout yesterday, I thought it must be old news. Can we imagine any American president exhibiting such unprofessional and puerile behavior? Andrew Johnson is the only one who comes to mind...

He has no interest at all in actually doing the job, that's why he keeps appointing equally unqualified Jared to conduct diplomacy! He's not just an international embarrassment, but a serious danger to this country!

And I still believe that the only reason he decided to run was because he thought of a campaign as a money making scheme. He never expected to "win" and now that he's stuck with the job, he has no interest in actually doing it - he figures he can talk his way out of anything - like he always has. And from what we know now, he was never any good at that, either - his personal businesses all lost millions.

I'm sure the staff already knows, and the family. But now it's leaking out in the public arena. Pelosi is helping, thankfully. The sooner it's over, the better.

Everyone is like a frog in the pot of water, heating up gradually. But look at this--it is NOT normal!

He calls a meeting so that all of his lackeys can discuss how calm he was yesterday???
