You’re not “presidential” at all, period. You’re mentally unwell. You engage in bizarre, irrational, self-defeating behavior, which prompts criticism of you, which triggers more bizarre, irrational, self-defeating behavior. You would have been fired from any other job by now.


Do yourself and the country a favor. Resign and seek the psychological treatment you so obviously need.


Here are two great books discussing your myriad psychiatric problems. I know you won’t read them, but everyone else should. Book number one:

Trump on the Couch by Justin A. Frank, MD | PenguinRandomHouse.com: Books

Book number two:

I’m not sure I agree with every jot and tittle of what’s in these volumes, but if even a fraction of the points made in them are valid, you shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near the White House.


And if anyone has any doubt about the question, ask yourself this: If, say, a CEO of a major publicly-held company engaged in conduct remotely similar to what we’ve seen of Donald J. Trump over the past 2-1/2 years, what would happen? How long would she or he last in the job?


At a minimum, the board of directors would demand that the CEO undergo rigorous psychological examination. But they’d probably just get a new CEO.

1. Trump would get fired from a CEO job. He'd also get fired if he was a dishwasher,

a janitor, an accountant, a lawyer, a bus driver, a 7-11 manager, a church organist, a teacher, a software designer, an architect or a barista. He'd never be able to hold down any job for more than a week before he pissed off everybody he came into contact with and got sacked. He couldn't even be a zookeeper because he'd get eaten.

3. As a zoo animal shitsweeper maybe? He thrives in a lot of shit

[AirmensMom]

4. Can we find him a job

as a zookeeper? Please, please, please?

5. Only if he's assigned to the large carnivores.

6. That

Or the cages of potent elapids & vipers

8. My thoughtx exactly. But since that probably won't happen, I suggest

he accompany his two trumplets on one of their bang-bang-shoot-em-up safaris.

And just for the hell of it, invite DICK Cheney to go, too.

2. Given the reluctance of the House to impeach

I think this meme is one of our best bets. It's one I've been pushing for several months.

7. We're convinced

There's no convincing Trump. He thinks he's doing a fantastic job.

9. conman's tweet is throwing red meat to his base. I despise him, his base, and Repubs.
