Trump: Besides Lincoln, I Can Be More Presidential Than Any President That Has Ever Held This Offi

I want to be there the day his ego explodes.



Trump: Besides Lincoln, ‘I Can Be More Presidential Than Any President That Has Ever Held This Office’

At Tuesday’s rally in Youngstown, OH, President Trump addressed his critics who say he isn’t “presidential” enough.

“Political correctness, for me is easy, “he told the arena. “Sometimes they say ‘he doesn’t’ act presidential.’ And I say, look, great schools, smart guy, it is so easy to act presidential. But that’s not going to get it done. In fact, I said – it is much easier, by the way, to act presidential than what we are doing here tonight, believe me.”

He then went on to make this bold claim.

“And I said,” he added, “with the exception of the late great Abraham Lincoln, I can be more presidential than any president that has ever held this office, that I can tell you.”......................

It's probably because you're not believable.

I don't understand how Trumpsters don't see through this transparent bullshit. Some of them are just racists, and others are just Internet shitlords, but most of his cultists believe his blatant bullshit.

They don't care about policies or governing for the common good. They are angry, mean-spirited, unhappy people, who basically want to punch you and me in the face. Trailer trash. Think people, who enjoy "professional" wrestling. Think people who get into bar fights and parking lot fights at football games. If Trump could round us up and force us into labor camps, Trumpsters would cheer him on.

We live in degenerate times. Trump eventually will be gone, but his supporters will still be here to latch onto the next vulgar demagogue.

When he says, "That I can tell you," you know he's lying.

In fact, he's lying whenever he opens his mouth to speak. He even lies about his lies!

If he told me water is wet, I'd have to check to make sure. Of course, he wouldn't say that BECAUSE IT'S TRUE!

Trump is a lying idiot.

Tell me how, and this is just one singular example, his arrogant ass could have had the courage and the strength of FDR? The man was bound to a wheelchair and yet when the moment called he would strap on his braces and "walk" to a podium. On the day of the "Day of infamy" speech, his son stood in the background, terrified that his father would stumble and fall on the way up to the podium! Trump has neither the courage, stamina nor the resilience and not a fraction of the intelligence of FDR to lead this country in the way that FDR did.

Fuck his arrogant ass for suggesting that he could accomplish anything other than polishing Tafts shoes...Trump is a joke and a national embarrassment

Doesn't he know his words will be immortalized in our history, along with Lincoln's.
So can he say something for once without sounding thin-skinned or insecure?
