Can you think of a single person you know who would do a worse job as President than Trump?

I've fired people who showed up to work drunk that could do a better job at President than Trump.

I'm sick of people in the media referring to him a good businessman or skilled negotiator, he's nothing but whiny con man, who couldn't manage or lead his way out of a paper bag.

he's beyond incompetent, he actively sabotages success.

the ghost of incitatus, caligula's horse, would make a far better president, by the mere act of doing nothing.

My 3-year-old likes pressing buttons too much. If he was president, the world would end.

Trump's Presidency would be more successful if he never showed up for work and just golfed all the time.

When our inflation hits 1,500% like theirs or when you can't find food or medicine, or when D.C. becomes the murder capital of the world like Caracas then we will have somebody as bad as they have in charge.
