Trump transition takes swipe at President Obama: The people elected a real man, a true man

Epshteyn argued that Trump was “already the leader of this country.”

“It’s about the message — it’s about the message of America being the city on a hill once again,” the adviser opined. “About America being a leader in the world once again. And that’s what Donald J. Trump is going to be speaking about.”

“Of course, there’s going to be a lot of the authentic parts of Donald Trump,” Epshteyn said of the inaugural address. “Because that’s why he is the president-elect, that’s why he’s becoming president because the people elected a real man, a true man, a man who loves this country to the very bottom of his heart.”

Like that orange tan, over-bleached teeth and cotton-candy hair construction.
Not to mention he's a compulsive lying asshole.

If you keep forgetting that, we will keep reminding you. You were also helped by suppressing the votes of millions of other citizens. You have no mandate. The majority of Americans deplore you and your ideology.

Barack Hussein Obama remains the President of the United States for another three weeks, in spite of any bullshit from Mitch McConnell that you chose to swallow.

In 2008 and 2012.

It is irritating the hell out of me to hear several of his minions already calling the "the president." He hasn't been sworn in yet, damnit!

Seriously ???

He doesn't have a heart.

He doesn't love this country.

He doesn't love the people in this country.

He loves Trump and what enriches Trump.

Boris is a liar as well.

He said Trump sometimes had 100,000 people at his rallies.

Boris has a man crush on Trump.

Some people are just insane.

An entire country acted out of spite and petulance and placed an unqualified know-nothing atop an undeserved perch.

You can say what you want about Dubya (and I've said plenty), but at least he HAD governmental experience. This . . . destructive decision is one that puts the nation at genuine risk.
