The president is a hurtful, bullying, boorish, ridiculous, undignified, childish asshat. And it hurts to say that.

It is not as if tRump was acting any better before Nov 8th.
Why is his behavior any surprise?

I think he is just pure asshole. He is rotten clear to the core. I have never seen any redeeming quality in the disgusting man. Not one. He is horrible to everyone he comes in contact with. He has no sense of humor. He has no integrity. He has no empathy. He has no compassion . He has no complexity.

He is just a huge genetic mistake.

Trump is taking a crap on the drapes of the Oval Office.
Someone with authority and maturity needs to tell him this is not okay.
Donald, grow the fuck up.

But you get only 140 characters on Twitter, so you can't tell us what you really think.

So, can we dispense with the notion that Donald is going to "grow into the job" or become "more presidential" yet?

If his "presidency" endures to the next S.O.T.U. address, I wonder if the media will swoon over it being the moment he became "presidential," as they did with the first one?

because it gives them something to talk about.

A lot of the problem (notably with cable networks) is their "24/7" (more or less nowadays) news/political formats, which means trying to manufacture discussion when there isn't any "breaking" type stories.

I really miss CNN Headline News. Yeah, it may have been repetitive but at least it was "news" versus what we see today.

And I think that's why it hurt him to have to say what he did.
