Think of Trump as a bus driver and He wrecks the bus with passengers

And say 30% of the passengers are injured and 4% are killed in the crash. Trumps response is “ just think what kind of damaged would have been done if I had not put on the brakes, it would have been a blood bath”
How is that scenario different than his press conference statements today?

leaving a bunch of amateurs and lackeys to lead all these important departments.

It's no wonder they don't have a clue what the federal gov't has or is supposed to do.

12. You're absolutely right, but others knew if he had listened to their warnings

But, as always, only he - not a mechanic or even a competent driver - knew best.

"It's really not fair of you to mention that I was drinking a few hours before I drove the bus into a gas station. Why don't you focus on how I got some of the people in the back of the bus off before it caught fire. I mean nobody could have predicted the bus would caught fire like that. But why can't you be a little more positive and talk about how those amazing firefighters put that fire out before everybody died. You people are always so negative and nasty."

Then North Korea United States slid off into ditch is also. China managed to get back on the road because they had the right equipment to get them back on the road in North Korea did the same but the United States had no supplies to help them get out of the ditch so they're people remain not able to get to work and the bus driver Trump complains it's all China's fault for going off the road in the first place

Buses hold what? Like 50, 60 people?

That's how.

Also, bus drivers are actually legally liable.

Yet demands credit for all things good.
He played no part in the $2.2 trillion aid bill negotiations or working with congress to pass it. That was Mnuchin, Pelosi and McConnell, but because he wrote his name with a fucking black crayon on the bill he has taken full credit for it every single day since it’s passage.
