Come on Mr. Mueller - grab 'em by the posse (stolen from a DUer) and lock them up!

(1,216 posts)Even a stupid blowhard can become president of the US. Very ominous development. I know Bush-43 was dumb but he was nowhere near as blowhard as Trump.

Don't agree with him often, but 100% on board with this.

Maybe its not THE stupidest thing he ever said (so many to choose from), but its the one that really sticks in my craw. The whining, the self-pity, the victim-status claimed (sniff) the weirdly inverted point to claim historical status over (treated the worst???).
And that idiotic great surety claim, in light of obvious facts: JFK, McKinley, Garfield and Lincoln, as they were assassinated while in office, clearly had it worst. Barack Obama was treated with overt racism, repeatedly, and a Republican congress that swore to make him a one-term president (didnt happen, Mitch). Lincoln had to deal with a horrific civil war brought on by most of the countrys slave-states, that chose not only to secede, but also to make war on the Union.
In addition, tRump laid this poor, pitiful victim speech on a Coast Guard commencement. The man is a major embarrassment, not to mention an existential threat to democracy in the United States.

(38,414 posts)Proving beyond doubt with examples, that other presidents were treated worse. Especially Lincoln, and Obama, and yes, JFK was assassinated. Your evaluation is terrific ..thank you

(22,976 posts)To see if he ever speaks the truth, or is honest, or deals with actual facts. But to date, *everything* that issues from his mouth is an exaggeration, or a myth, or a rumor, or an out-and-out lie. Even with trivial issues, he never wanders into the truth. Its a weird form of anti-genius, but its also genuinely paranoid:
-Obama bugged his phones. Not true.
-He claims hes donated X dollars to Y cause, but in EVERY instance he has not, resulting (sometimes) in a speedy check written AFTER its pointed out that he welched.
-He says his administration is running like a fine-tuned machine, when the abundant chaos and criminal investigations indicate otherwise.
-Per The NY Times, He said something untrue, in public, every day for the first 40 days of his presidency.
-Says the GOP plan he supports is "the biggest tax cut in U.S. history." Its not.
On and on it goes. That #45 hangs onto a 33-36% approval means that a third of the country doesnt know or doesnt care, even though hes clearly a pathological, serial liar who may be so delusional that he might actually believe these whoppers. Either way, America loses.

(4,461 posts)... perhaps one of the top 10 dumbest things ever said in human history.
And though more revealing than just dumb - I also liked the No puppet... not a puppet. Youre the puppet at one of the GE debates after Hilary said he was a Russian puppet. I laughed at the time about how desperately juvenile it sounded. Of course, now we know.
