his ego has been soothed, he doesn't have to tweet lies to get attention.

As long as he doesn't scramble up a bookcase and flick balls of shit at world leaders, it is considered a win.

Sorry for the crudity. It just seems to come out of its own accord these days.

I wondered if it had been written for him phonetically. I'm not even being sarcastic, as I'm a reading specialist.

like he did about his biggest in history electoral win. And, how sad it is that the fake news and the sore loser Democrats are still carrying on about that hoax when he's such a great international leader.

It's so predictable and infuriating to watch.

Because the things he DID do are too horrible to contemplate.

Y'know, things like revealing the location of nuclear subs and selling billions of dollars worth of arms to the gov't that we've been told over and over is SO BAD that the Clinton Foundation should never have accepted money from them.

1. Obama is one of the best presidents since Kennedy and they destroyed him from day one, threatened him and made his life hell during the last 8 years.

2. Trump is an absolute fucking disgrace. He is an absolute embarrassment, and the party that backs him isn't any better than he is. The sooner this ends the better.
