Trump's worst or dumbest or most embarrassing moment as POTUS? There have been so many.

But for me, the "Pocahontas" comment in front of the Navajo code talkers
with the Andrew "Trail of Tears" Jackson portrait in the background
sticks out. I'm sure he has done worse
many times over, but that one really got to me.
The paper towel toss in Puerto Rico ranks up there too.
Which despicable act by the clown bothers you most?

But I think probably the moment that may have hurt him the most was the "good people on both sides" comment after Charlottesville. The resistance was already growing, but that comment really seemed to be a catapult that kicked the Blue Wave into overdrive.

Without setting foot on a battlefield, Donald Trump said he received a Purple Heart medal on Tuesday at his rally in Ashburn, Virginia, from a retired lieutenant colonel and supporter.

“I said to him, 'Is that like the real one, or is that a copy?” the Republican nominee said moments after taking the stage at a local high school.

Trump recounted the exchange, remarking that the man, who he identified as retired Lt. Col. Louis Dorfman said, "That's my real Purple Heart. I have such confidence in you."

"And I said, 'Man, that’s like big stuff. I always wanted to get the Purple Heart," Trump said. "This was much easier.”

while meeting with victims of the Florida shooting - the man/thing has NO idea of sympathy, care, or understanding.

What a disgrace!

Trump will sit there blaming the “libtards” for “purposely destroying the economy.” Every day with him in office is an embarrassment.
