There is something so wrong with him.

Let us review the insanity from this crazy man just from today:

1. Jews who vote for democrats are ignorant of history and
disloyal. (Meaning they are bad Jews.)

2. "Hey Wayne, don't worry. We aren't having any of those
universal background checks.

3. Rep. Tlaib cries crocodile tears.

4. That Danish lady is a real bitch for not letting me buy
Greenland.

5. Oh yeah, I forgot...I have another grandchild. Yawn.....

Seriously? What the actual fuck was this?

He is blowing off a diplomatic visit because the Danish Prime Minister would not let him buy Greenland? Which was not for sale. And which we could not afford given our current economic situation and the gutting of domestic social programs.

And why the hell would we even think about buying Greenland in the first place? What benefit could the American people (not Trump and the filthy rich oligarchs who currently control this country) possibly derive from this acquisition?

How much more insane can things get before we pull the plug? FFS!
