"I aced the test."



IMPOTUS: "I actually took one when I -- very recently, when I -- when I was -- the radical left were saying, is he all there? Is he all there? And I proved I was all there, because I got -- I aced it. I aced the test. I took it at Walter Reed Medical Center in front of doctors. And they were very surprised. They said, that's an unbelievable thing. Rarely does anybody do what you just did."

to see him sitting behind that desk?

When I think of the dishonor that he has brought upon our country, and to the office of the President of the United States, I want to drag him out from behind that desk and kick his ass out the front door.

And I want the FBI waiting there to arrest him.

It makes me physically ill to see him sitting behind that desk. I know my blood pressure has gone up 50 points just looking at him.

I'm so beyond furious at what he has done to this country. I never in a million years thought it would be this bad. I knew he was going to do damage. I could never imagine the depths he would reach in running our country into the ground.

Sometimes I just sit here and weep.

He is a traitor, a liar, a failure, a cheat and a thief. These are only a few of the horrible things that he is. He is the most undeserving, most incompetent and most disloyal person to have ever have sat behind that desk.

I can't even entertain the idea that he might be there for another four years. I think my head would explode. In fact, I can't believe he has managed to retain his position for the past 3 1/2 years given the sheer disaster his presidency has been. It has been like living in an episode of The Twilight Zone.

When I see him sitting there with that shit-eating grin, I get so filled with rage. I want to see him dragged out of that office by his disgusting piss-yellow hair and thrown into the street while the decent citizens of this nation ... Ok, I guess I have to stop there or I could get in trouble. Use your imagination.

Trump, the billion-dollar loser — I was his ghostwriter and saw it happen


Charles Leerhson
Yahoo.com, May 9, 2019

EXCERPT...

I tend to see my time with him — the first part of it, anyway, before things started going bad in a hurry — as his “King Midas” period. I never said this to him; if I had, he probably would have thought I was suggesting he enter the muffler business. But there was a stretch of months when everything he touched turned into a deal. The banks seemed to accept the version of him depicted in his first book, “The Art of the Deal,” which we now know from his previous ghostwriter, Tony Schwartz, was entirely invented. They believed it over what they saw on his balance sheets or heard coming out of his mouth, and they never said no to his requests for more money. Often they came up with things he could say yes to before he could think of them himself. As a result, a failing real estate developer who had little idea of what he was doing and less interest in doing it once he’d held the all-important press conference wound up owning three New Jersey hotel-casinos, the Plaza Hotel, the Eastern Airlines Shuttle and a 281-foot yacht.

A real go-getter, right? But Trump’s portfolio did not jibe with what I saw each day — which to a surprisingly large extent was him looking at fabric swatches. Indeed, flipping through fabric swatches seemed at times to be his main occupation. Some days he would do it for hours, then take me in what he always called his “French military helicopter” to Atlantic City — where he looked at more fabric swatches or sometimes small samples of wood paneling. It was true that the carpets and drapes at his properties needed to be refreshed frequently, and the seats on the renamed Trump Shuttle required occasional reupholstering. But the main thing about fabric swatches was that they were within his comfort zone — whereas, for example, the management of hotels and airlines clearly wasn’t. One of his aides once told me that every room at the Plaza could be filled at the “rack rate” (list price) every night, and the revenue still wouldn’t cover the monthly payment of the loan he’d taken out to buy the place. In other words, he’d made a ridiculous deal. Neither he nor the banks had done the math beforehand. Or perhaps Trump knew it because someone had told him, but didn’t want to think about it. The one thing he is above-average at is compartmentalization.

Since he obviously doesn’t know. And who is the lackey standing behind him? I don’t recognize him. That picture of him with a big phony grin sitting at a spotless desk is creepy, by the way. Maybe if he ever did any work you’d see some clutter.

Trump warned Russia's foreign minister against election interference, White House says

BY MORGAN CHALFANT -
The Hill 12/10/19 05:38 PM EST

warned Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov against “any Russian attempts to interfere in United States elections” during an Oval Office meeting on Tuesday, according to the White House.

Trump also urged Moscow to “resolve the conflict with Ukraine,” the White House said, referring to Russia’s 2014 seizure of Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula.

Trump tweeted a photo of he and Lavrov standing behind the Resolute Desk, writing that the two had "a very good meeting."

For too long, the United States of America has been cheated.



From Mediaite, August 3, 2019:

... You could be forgiven if you missed the news that a racist telephone conversation between then-California Governor Reagan and then-President Richard Nixon was unearthed and released this week.

The call took place in October of 1971, during which Reagan and Nixon discussed the United Nations delegation from the United Republic of Tanzania following a vote on a resolution to seat China in the world body.

“Last night, I tell you, to watch that thing on television as I did,” Reagan said in the brief recording.

“Yeah,” Nixon agreed.

“To see those, those monkeys from those African countries — damn them, they’re still uncomfortable wearing shoes!” Reagan continued, to hearty laughter from Nixon.
