I posted yesterday how they planned to reshoot a photo of him and a phone because the phone looked too old in the first photo.

World's Dummest Dictator. The phone call was with the producer, and because he is the World's Dummest he actually thinks he is the host and not a contestant.

and that's all he cares about. The process also feed his massive narcissistic ego. Same with opinions on his joy ride around Bethesda.

Right-wing citizens, evangelicals, big business people and the ultra-wealthy all love an authoritative projection.

Think Reagan: white, square-jawed, big shoulder pads and tough sounding voice, but shallow inside. We see a pattern.

Trump really does not care what the rest of America thinks or says.

Bush II, and Trump. Arrogant, mentally deficient, tough guy image. R's were able to manilulate Reagan and Bush, leaving others in real control. With Trump, the leash broke and they can't get one back on him.

He's just doing his "The Apprentice" promotional-photo face with flags behind him.

None of his photos have shown him doing real work. Why would he start now?

the trumps want to murder you. do you understand death? obviously not because I continuously see someone trying to justify or excuse these fucking criminal money-laundering extortionists. laundering drug money. laundering financial crimes money. laundering murder-for-hire money. but it's OK, because you're just a temporarily unsuccessful capitalist, aren't you?

Everything about Trump is a facade. From his personal appearance to his "command" of the facts that are presented to him by experts in every field, he's completely devoid of any substance. There is nothing behind the facade.

When I was a kid, my dear - now departed Dad - used to tell me, "a hollow drum makes the most noise". That describes Donald Trump precisely. He's nothing but a hollow drum, making much too much noise, and making no sense whatsoever. There's nothing real and honest about Donald Trump. He's all smoke and mirrors. And 40% of Americans believe this is what our country needs at this point of time?

Scheming conning lying manipulating cheating and on and on and on. Obviously the most worthless president we’ve ever had, at least in recent times and who knows maybe there was somebody as bad as this nutcase in the old days. Hard to imagine anyone worse than this guy, but we’ll never know.
