Good God. This asshole is using his announcement to do nothin by but attack the press!

He barely mentioned the Labor Secretary before lambasting the media for minutes on end. What the everlasting fuck??

Now saying he's done more than any incoming in history and that he "inherited a mess." Saying the press doesn't understand.

And Ivanka.

He's spinning out of control.

Thu Feb 16, 2017, 02:52 PM

The guy would start out lucid, then hit a word or subject that set him off, then the rest of the lecture would be pure loony tunes. I just outright laughed at the nuttiness during the worst episodes, but other people in the class sat there terrified. The course was a key Business School graduate course, so I had to stay in once the drop date had passed before the guy's full nuttiness came out. Sadly, the guy was reasonably bright when sane. I completed the course, even-though I openly laughed at the Professor's nutty rants.

I will not respect him or hear him or believe him or anything. He's a complete waste of space and I hope the intelligence community just exposes him for the criminal he is so they can lock him up and throw away the key. Until then...he's NOTHING to me, NOTHING to my country and can go fuck himself for all I care. For your own peace of mind...I suggest everyone else do the same.
