[kpete]

White House leaks are common, but leakers suggesting the president might be unfit for office are not.

1. He's going to go the full on crackers pretty soon.

[Scarsdale]

8. Pray

That he is not within reach of the nuclear phone or button. The man is not well.

[mopinko]

21. look at it this way

i dont think he could get through the sequence. he has to read off the biscuit. which he has to remember what he did with.

i'm starting to be slightly cheered by the shear incompetence.

[Initech]

32. With the way he's attacking judges, he already has.

[onethatcares]

2. softer, so he

can't tell where his soft, little hands end and the towels begin.

Me thinks it's time for him to start walking the foredeck. bounce: :

[DetlefK]

3. "Business-genius" doesn't know that importing countries like the US need a strong currency.

Hasn't he been complaining that China is artificially keeping the Yen undervalued to support chinese exports?

And yet he's unable to make that simple logical transition??????????????????????????????????????????????

4. You'd think that someone who makes him money selling his name to foreign real-estate developers

would have this figured out by now. I guess he left the money to accountants. He just shouted 'Trump!' a lot.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

7. Because he is incapable of seeing that there are two sides to a deal. He only sees his side.

No empathy, and we all know what that is a symptom of.

By the way, the Republicons "no prisoners" attitude toward politics over the last few decades and their relentless polarization of the electorate is similar. It used to be, especially in the Senate, that Senators would work together to craft legislation, not just try to hammer it through with grudgingly conceding a few concessions at critical junctures.

[spooky3]

25. Well, that depends on your perspective. If

Your buddies are exporters, they want a weak dollar so foreigners can afford to buy their products.

The welfare of the country as a whole is of less concern to you.

[DetlefK]

27. If my buddies are exporters, at least I know whether I want a weak or a strong dollar.

[spooky3]

33. If you're Donald Trump, that's not necessarily true. That's

Why he had to ask someone who he thinks wears big boy pants.

[procon]

5. That's about the depth of Trump's intellect... fabric softener.

Forget about the multiple day to day crises of all the complex and intertwined problems on both the domestic and foreign stage, this incompetent, mental midget is tackling the diabolical woes of his linen closet.

[HAB911]

6. I hope SNL is writing all this down! n/t

[usedtobedemgurl]

9. His next call.....

*Ring* *Ring*

Putin : Hello Comrade.

Trump : I got a question. Is it better for the US to have a strong or soft dollar? Flynn is stupid and couldn't answer that question.

Putin : Comrade, it is better to have a soft dollar. Make it as soft as you can and things will be great for this (my) country.

Trump : OK, off to tweet about how stupid judges are.

Putin : Good job. Nighty night, comrade.

[dalton99a]

13. Good one.

[WePurrsevere]

10. Oh for goodness sake Trump learn to Google stuff.

It took me just a few seconds while in the privacy of my bedroom to double check the facts and make sure that my memory was accurate (which it was ).

Heck, since I hear that you have issues with reading and paying attention they even have fairly short videos about which is better on YouTube.

[TexasBushwhacker]

34. Maybe he did Google it and didn't understand it n/t

[WePurrsevere]

35. Perhaps but there's some pretty basic explanations, even videos.

I tend to think he's both intellectually lazy and has trouble reading.

It may also be that he simply doesn't know how to do more than the very basics on a computer and/or is lacking in knowledge of how to use keywords to get decent search engine results.

[dalton99a]

11. "I'm a really smart guy. I was a really good student at the best school in the country."

[Docreed2003]

12. Sigh....

If it wasn't already a dead give away that the man is of limited intelligence based purely off of his vocabulary, this story should definitely highlight that fact. Trump has "succeed" be creating a fake image of himself that is guilted like his own towers. I suppose those on the right who have bashed "liberal elites" for years as being out of touch because they're intelligent and thoughtful are now loving every minute of this dumbing down of the presidency. Trump is a guilded man, peel back the thin gold veneer and your left with false success, false intellect, and a soul of concrete, again, much like his "towers".

[True Dough]

14. It truly is a case of The Emperor's New Clothes

playing out in real life. Nobody within his cabal wants to confront him and reveal that he's clueless. They'd rather manipulate him for their own purposes.

[Docreed2003]

19. Exactly...

He's a useful idiot and a means to an end.

[progressoid]

15. This is frightening.

[Aviation Pro]

17. Soft towels....

...soft hands, soft penis. No wonder Melania has a bull on the side.

[benld74]

18. Tiny hands need softer towels

[GusBob]

20. This is another piece in the dementia puzzle. Classic signs and symptoms

people upthread questioning his business acumen. Of course he knows about a strong dollar. Or knew. He just plum forgot

Forgetfulness of important but simple details, like time of day. things one used to know like the back of your hand, strength of dollar

insomnia, restlessness, anxiousness, fixating on topics but with flighty and fleeting thoughts

He is ill and needs medical help as stress will only make this worse

[IronLionZion]

24. Congress needs to relieve him of his duties immediately

so he can get the necessary medical treatment before they repeal Obamacare

[NewJeffCT]

22. awww, poor wittle snowflake

the towels aren't soft enough.

[IronLionZion]

23. He's such a brilliant businessman

or not. Let's see his tax returns! I doubt this dipshit is nearly as wealthy as he claims.

Or he was asking if it's good for who? Maybe he wants what's bad for the American people but good for someone else?

[Friend or Foe]

26. It's times like these that I long for the Presidency of

Joe Bauers

[Tanuki]

28. I have a friend who once worked as a telephone operator.

She used to laugh about people calling the 411 Information line, which you were to call to find out a specific phone number, thinking it was there to provide information about anything at all, e.g. "Do we set our clocks forward or backward an hour for Daylight Saving Time?" In retrospect, it was probably the future SCROTUS making those calls!

[ananda]

29. Is this real or fake news?

???

[JHan]

30. K & R

[titaniumsalute]

31. Who's the fucking snowflake? Soft towels??

[lame54]

36. even winning the election didn't bring him great joy...

there is no joy in his life

[wishstar]

37. He wanted to know which way is more pleasing to Putin, so Flynn was go-to guy to ask

Can't risk advocating a policy that Kremlin doesn't want
