The president is a 70-year-old child whose TV time must be closely monitored — because any news story that upsets his ego will trigger a temper tantrum followed by irrational demands that his indulgent, overwhelmed guardians will be helpless to refuse.

Or so Donald Trump’s aides keep confiding to the nearest available reporter.

On Sunday, one of the president’s confidantes told Politico that his staffers have to “control information that may infuriate him,” a task made difficult by the fact that the leader of the free world “gets bored and likes to watch TV.” Continued: New York Magazine

1. Lock him in a room and let him watch cartoons.

13. And take away his phone!

"Too many bear attacks OK? If Ranger Rick doesn't stop bears from stealing picnic baskets - up 20% from last year, I will cut funding for the Parks Department!"

2. Which begs the question.. why are

dump's aides spilling the beans on him?

[groundloop]

4. My guess would be it's those whom he has shit upon (and those are probably numerous)

[Cha]

5. Oh.. he treats every

shitty.. especially himself. just look at him

[Skidmore]

3. Why do they work for him?

Quitting would isolate him and render him powerless.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

6. What's TV?

[Vinca]

7. The question is, how do you get rid of a POTUS who's nuts?

Seriously. I once had a novel in my head about a president who goes crazy, but fact trumps fiction (pun intended).

15. Use of the 25th Amendment

8. Just fix the TV to only show DVD's

on a loop.

Maybe Blue's Clues would help him learn to figure things out. They can even get him a gold-encrusted thinking chair.

[JudyM]

9. Or hang a mirror in front of it, that should keep him entranced for hours.

[Bettie]

11. Yeah, that would work too!

He's a nutjob. Then again, so is most everyone in his "administration".

[Dustlawyer]

10. 25th Amendment!!!

[dae]

12. Kickly Bigly

[Tetunot]

14. Mr. Rogers

Neighbourhood has been shown to calm hyperactivity when shown to children. Maybe Ma Conway could stream that for BLOTUS.
