do a better job at being President of the United States than Donald Trump." (if we would be willing to devote the time to the job.) It will take a lot of work to reverse the damage he has done, but most of us here would still do a much better job than Donald Trump.

No way could I handle the real demands of the Presidency. For example, take a look at a before and after picture of any of our recent presidents.

Trump is an idiot and a loser. He is so far away from being presidential that it's not worth the effort to list his deficiencies.

He has no idea what it means to be the president.

I would spend most of my time trying to make my Presidency as much like the TV show The West Wing as possible.

What makes for a great TV show might not necessarily work in real life...

I would write about a thousand executive orders to abolish all class distinction. Everyone lives in a gray box, drives a gray box car, and we all wear gray jumpsuits. Anyone caught trying to get around those rules would be sent to prison. Everyone must take a personality test to decide what job you'll have. Working over 25 hours per week will be illegal. Too many types/flavors of food or beverages will be illegal (i.e. Gatorade with its 900 different flavors! Enough already!)

That is just a tiny taste of a rownesheck presidency. My friends think I'm nuts. They better hope my fundraising doesn't ramp up dramatically...

nope - I'm still better at running the government.

But he is still better than me at consuming junk food, even if he uses a knife and fork to eat KFC.

Oh, and by the way: Supreme Court Justice Barack Obama.

Alot of sign in stuff and write these things airtight so they cannot be reversed by republicans. I'll drag this country into 2019. The rethugs would hate me and I don't care.

It's unlikely I'd be a great president, but my cabinet and staff would be excellent.

And after he had some sort of consensus that looked reasonable, then shut the f**k up. He can't do either of those simple tasks. I could do them, and you could do them, and I do think we could get some help in working things out from other past presidents like Carter and Obama. But Trump is much too stupid to figure out what is so simple. Much too stupid indeed.
