Could Trump make himself look more guilty.

[seanrector]

Like watching a snake devouring it's own tail. Emphasis on snake.

No news that he doesn't WANT to actually DO anything. He wants to BE. Just BE the president. Enjoy all the trappings of his office. Make pronouncements and declarations. Issue executive orders. All he's doing is performing, and that's all he wants to do. He has no interest in accomplishing anything of substance, just in posturing and symbolism.

all i hear now is George Bush asking Democrats, "how do you like me now."

Its funny how many predictions these people have gotten wrong about trump. I just sit back and laugh at this show. Its good humor!

Don't worry y'all. The tushy grabber in chief has things in hand. Shouldn't someone be checking on the first lady? Poor thing has had an abusive life so far. Why else would she give old; i'm talking really old, mcDonald a second look? She really needs help. Is she a prisoner?

Jolting Joe Finally understands! OMG Congrats welcome to the Democratic side!!

[karensmith]

Trump doesn’t wear glasses at his age? ODD!

[mimortal]

What Americans don't get is that division is his long term strategy to stay president. Divide and conquer.

Mitch McConnell vs Donald Trump - if this was a race, I am not sure which horse to bet on...

[wesleyrodgers]

Like me or I'll punch you again. 't' diplomacy. Jeez.

[derekforeal]

I always found it hilarious that Trump supporters thought he'd be the "anti-war" candidate. Every speech, he'd talk about increasing military spending because our military had been "depleted". Why would he need to increase military spending if he was going to be such am anti-war president? Trump supporters aren't very bright, are they?

[barblivingston]

DUMPSTER HAS NEVER VOICED A POLICY. He doesn't understand what "policy" means. Limited vocabulary and communication skills.

[gsherlock]

Keep it up trump, you're destroying your own presidency.

[niffenator]

It's a sad day in America when Mitch McConnell isn't the bad guy.

[nikkiorue]

this guy. "Trump " can't comprehend anything

[swiftmars]

Expect the madness to get worse. He is fried and he knows it.

[caroleclark]

They all need to make Drumpf impotent (as he probably already is) as far as his policies and governing are concerned. Hes already destroyed so much including the reputation of America.
