Makes me wish we still had a president like Obama. We would have been prepared. Possibly thousands of lives saved. And we would have felt secure and safe, no matter who, right or left. He would have been a guiding light in a sea of darkness...

but no, we are left with this egomaniac who was offered the softest of softball questions. Tailor made for making him look great, while offering support to the scared and isolated. He instead chooses to attack the reporter who served up the slow pitch. Today was the equivalent of a batter getting the perfect pitch, to crush the ball deep into the outfield for the home team but instead chose to charge the pitcher because he spit on the mound.

Holy shit this is a sad state..... and I have to head back to the hospital for 3 days on Sunday...

NO DOUBT.

Sorry to yell but there is simply no doubt that any COMPETENT president, Democratic or Republican, would have seen this coming and DONE SOMETHING.

This isn’t partisan. It’s a question of basic competence. Of sentience, really.

The deaths of thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands, and the crashing of the world’s largest economy, can be blamed specifically and exclusively on this administration and on the fragile ego of Donald J. Trump.

He does not possess any quality required to be POTUS
He does not possess any virtue required to be a decent human being
He does not possess the fund of knowledge required to be well-informed

He got here because he is a con-man, a salesman (a poor one), a
manipulator, and because he promised to trash and dismantle the government.
He rode into DC on the coattails of people's anger and hatred.

that's what this is about, him settling a score and getting even.
