Fox explains away Trump - Like your uncle

Greg Gutfeld on Fox's The Five:


"So it’s news that it’s chaos and dysfunctional when non-politicians actually move into a political realm. Isn’t that what this is all about? This guy is there witnessing the end – cronies out and, essentially, you in. These are people that have not governed, who are just like the people who kind of vote – you can say yeah, he’s a billionaire, but he’s kind of like your uncle. So your uncle just became president.

I challenge, that each one of us, if we became president … we would have had a similar experience. And so I think the book’s message … [is] this is not about a perfect White House, it’s about a human White House.

These are not beautiful people from Davos or Aspen or Harvard. These are people who can barely shave. … These are people ignorant of politics but savvy of the street. You put street fighters in there from Queens and elsewhere and the Democrats have to be consistent about this because they nominated a neophyte over Hillary Clinton, remember? They did it first with Obama and they won! So this was just the pendulum. "

well, maybe your uncles , but none of mine

Video of them yakking it up about how silly this whole thing is:

of course, donnie's not falling down just on being a political neophyte, he's falling down on basic human interactions.

he was supposed to bring some magic business leadership skills but he evidently has none that don't involve embezzlement.

moreover, obama was a state senator and a u.s. senator and a community organizer (gasp!) and evidently that was a vastly better background....

All his underlings knew how to shave and none would dare say a word against him.
