what he says, or if he is just says whatever he thinks will win him the most positive reactions at the time.

All of those possibilities are scary for someone in his position.

his slack jawed imbecile supporters can't remember he endorsed marine's policies. And let's face it, they probably don't.

And lying in the process.

lololol

Trump knows he doesn't belong on the world stage and it pleases me no end to know he knows. Because it eats away at him and anything that burdens Trump's fragile ego is pure pleasure to me.

He can't even fake it, and it is obvious how insecure he is about it. His ego plus his bullying nature are all he has, and it is just gross to watch as he elbows his way into a photo op or whatever.

And I'm someone who generally thinks civility and propriety are overrated and can easily appreciate when people muck up the works or refuse to play by the rules. But he is doing it all wrong, and for all the wrong reasons. Nasty, nasty asshole.

Or it would be if I thought it was just us he lied to. Only he lies every time he opens his mouth, regardless of where that ass appearing thing happens to be.
