He wants to be king, dictator, control the courts, the media, the Congress, laws, speech of the people. And he asks WHY can't he do that. So dumb, so WRONG, so UNNEEDED, so unhelpful. Why cannot his "supporters" see this - it can't be more plain.l

It's really just sad. The level of insecurity this man has is almost painful to watch. There is only emptiness inside him, so he craves validation to the point of serious pathology. In his own words: SAD.

I can't imagine what it would be like to feel compelled to validate yourself constantly with bullshit stunts like that. Indeed, it's SAD.

His constant references to the electoral college show that even he knows he shouldn't be in the White House.

"It's a rigged system, folks. It's a rigged system."

Fucking right about that.

old news for the next 3.5 years? What's the headline supposed to be? "Sure, I haven't done anything in 100 days, but look at this pretty map!" How many times does he want this done? He truly has no concept of the competitive world newspapers live in these days. Even magazines can't run news that old. We don't get our news in the driveway or mailbox anymore. Sorry Donnie.
