.@POTUS: "With the exception of the late, great Abraham Lincoln, I can be more presidential than any president that's ever held this office"

Axelrod:

"Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt." -The late, great Abraham Lincoln

[Barack_America]

1. I tip my hat to you, Mr. Axelrod

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. Well-played, Mr. Axelrod.

[BootinUp]

3. How many citizens can still process

The information above?

[SergeStorms]

21. I can think of.....

around 62,900,000 who don't know how to tie their shoes, let alone process information meant for anyone over the age of seven years old. They votes for Donald Trump. Are those the citizens of which you speak?

[onit2day]

55. Trump is a PINO (president in name only) and

No, bullying is not being presidential. Nor is being a braggart or a success in your own mind. You don't get to say how your presidential. We tell you. You're becoming the most hated man in America and certainly don't represent the majority of Americans...period.
btw...getting something horrible through Congress is not an accomplishment. It's a stain.

[dchill]

4. Comprehensive list of Presidents more presidential:

All 44 others. That's pretty comprehensive, don't you think?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

7. There have been a half-dozen or so presidents

who really sucked at being president. But none of them - even W, who was a feckless dork - debased the office the way SCROTUS has done in just six months.

[dchill]

8. Like I said.

[NewJeffCT]

14. agreed

we all thought W was bad here, but he's positively Washingtonian compared to Trump - and, I don't mean that as a compliment to Bush. He's still terrible.

[Scarsdale]

35. I thought W was

scraping the bottom of the barrel. Even his PARENTS did not want him to run, saying Jeb! was the "smart one" Well, who ever thought we could go even lower as a country? Thanks to the gop, we are now the world's laughingstock, represented by a complete LUNATIC. The Bush family had many ill gotten gains, but the tRumps have even the Bush crime family beat.

[Stonepounder]

45. W was a dork. I disagreed with just about everything he did.

But I never, ever, thought he was trying to destroy the United States, and I never thought he was a traitor, or that he was bat-shit crazy.

[rpannier]

17. You left out some

Every President of France, Ireland, South Korea and any other countries with real elected Presidents
Though I must say, he may be better than Mugabe. But the jury is still out on that one

[Myrddin]

27. If I remember it took Mugabe a few years to morph into ...

a totalitarian despot. Drumph appears to be out-accelerating him?

[BrooklynTech]

40. I Think That Pretty Much Covers It

[50 Shades Of Blue]

5. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[SCVDem]

6. Too Late!

So much smug in the photo. WTF are they so damned happy about.

They will have the seniors moving back home, have a 70 year old retirement and will have to put a 3rd on the house for medical bills.

Still bitchin' about that inheritance tax?

Do any of them even know what a tax break actually is? More what it isn't when you are poor.

[NastyRiffraff]

9. BOOM!

[gademocrat7]

10. Bravo, Mr. Axelrod!

[Grassy Knoll]

11. "A Face In The Crowd 2" Coming To A Theater Near You...

Hopefully Baldwin Will Get The Part, Along With Melisa McCarthy.

[ElementaryPenguin]

48. That's EXACTLY what we're living through! Well, very nearly!

More like Lonesome Rhodes meets Benedict Arnold meets Adolph Hitler!

[colsohlibgal]

12. He Is A Big Fat Joke

I get why the Neo Nazi Far Right sticks with him, but that other 20 or so per cent puzzles me, they are not put off by the same behavior they would come down on their children for. That they are not put off by his clown car antics and blatant lying.

[Solly Mack]

13. Damn

[nikibatts]

15. He is still trying to troll Obama because so many have said Obama was "Presidential".

Trump will go to his grave with vile envy of the black man that preceded him. Trump may get his wish in undoing everything Obama accomplished but he will forever be remembered as the most crude and ignorant President ever in our history.

[MyOwnPeace]

46. Great comment - Absolutely correct!

also:

"Trump will go to his grave with vile envy"

Is it wrong to hope that it happens soon?

[Auntie Bush]

57. Won't he go to "hell" for all that envy?

[BadgerMom]

16. Honestly,

does he have to stand in front of an adoring (gag me) crowd every. single. night? SMH

[RoBear]

18. great!

Probably my favorite Lincoln quote!

Thank you...

[hibbing]

19. God, he's like a 5 year old n/t

[burrowowl]

20. I saw DTs and

thought delirium tremblums

[tavernier]

22. All doubt is removed!!

Ha, good one!

[Jopin Klobe]

23. Proverbs 17:28King James Version (KJV)

28 Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.

[Hekate]

24. Well done, sir

[Gabi Hayes]

25. Is there room for a theater reference?

?

[Hieronymus]

26. What a fucking dumbass.

[trusty elf]

28. Atrocious! Gawd, what an embarrassment.

[img][/img]

[malaise]

30. Damn that's good

[trusty elf]

31. Hey malaise!

Have you seen this gif?

[malaise]

33. Yep

I love it

[flibbitygiblets]

41. +

[malaise]

29. My paternal grandma loved that quote

Brilliant Axe -you chopped him down to size

[Kaleva]

32. Why did Trump describe Lincoln as being "late"? Did he just recently pass away?

Or maybe many of his supporters don't know that Honest Abe is dead or are unsure?

[Stuart G]

34. Trump is Truly... Dumb, Stupid, Foolish, Insensitive, Obnoxious, Silly, .........

Ridiculous
Irresponsible,
Ludicrous,
Asinine,
Beyond Reason,
Uneducated,
Lousy,
Immature,
Unbelievable,
Incredible,
Unthinking,
F**ked Up
Childish,
Non Thinking,

and............................as many adjectives as one can come up with.....This quote...that Trump said in the Original Post.....is one of the 10 dumbest he has ever said...................No..I don't know the other 9,...I just made that up....

[madokie]

36. One of my favorites

David Axelrod

[BobTheSubgenius]

37. Fun Fact:

With the exception of Lincoln, the Oval Office has been held exclusively by deviants in the final stages of syphilis and circus chimps forced into "retirement" because they wouldn't stop flinging feces at the audience.

Huh. But when you combine the two, you get "Presidential." Who knew?

[Dorn]

38. I choose to be silent

[lark]

39. Boom goes the dynamite!

Wow, totally epic take down. It's all the better because it's so very true.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

42. That pose:

[LakeArenal]

44. Talk about looking down your nose at people..

He's really good at that!

43. yea, but his penis is the smallest of all.

47. K&R

[Cary]

49. That toothpaste is long out of the tube

Brushed, soit out, through the plumbing and the sewage treatment and perhaps even decomposed by now.

[red dog 1]

50. K&R

Thank you, Mr. Axelrod!

[heaven05]

51. +++1

excellent retort to the boy-potus and his idol worship of his tiny hands and mind......

[alterfurz]

53. as the late, great Gerald R. Ford once said...

..."If Lincoln were alive today, he'd be turning over in his grave."
ba-dum tsssh

[Tracer]

54. Chum CAN be more presidential?

OK asshat --- let's see it.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

56. Perfect!

Donald Trump, the first WWF president.

[hunter]

58. That just means the hookers he's paying to piss all over the Presidency...

... haven't got around to Lincoln yet.

When they do he'll consider himself the most presidential.

[meadowlander]

59. Anyone who has to say "I am the king"

Is no true king."

The late great Tywin Lannister.

Just realised that Trump is what you would get if Joffrey somehow magically survived to 70.

[PatrickforO]

60. Axelrod is a smart man.

The whole Obama group could literally run intellectual circles around Trump.

Unfortunately, it is probably Bannon calling the shots and that guy is terrifying. Talk about a Hermann Goering reincarnation, he's it.

[Hulk]

61. Too late. The fool is out of the closet

...along with the rest of his fool club.
