no one would ever talk to him, let alone want to be his friend. And if he had invested what he inherited from Daddy Fred in the S&P 500 he'd be tremendously wealthy right now, well over $8 billion. No one really knows what Trump's net worth is because he's so secretive about his finances (other than telling everyone how really, really rich he is. It's rumored he's not even a billionaire anymore. Yeah, he's a real wheeler-dealer alright, "The Shart of the Deal". :rofl

the words to fill out the acronym! I never knew it was an acronym. I just thought it was a nice way to say, 'doo-doo'. Now we have S.H.A.R.T. Sexist, Homophobic, Antisemitic, Racist Tweeter! Well done.

But I can't really take credit for it - except for the Tweeter part - I've served on MIRT and it's an acronym we've used there. So it completely resonated with me when you used the term and all those adjectives apply in this case!

Because it would be that unbelievable! It really does boggle the mind that he's still at it, each and every day - the lying and attacking everyone, like the Late Show video tracked. I think of every president that I've experienced in my life and the "scandals" that made news - Jimmy Carter had "lust in his heart," George HW Bush didn't know the price of bread, Obama saluted with coffee in his hand - and then he wore that tan suit! Trump does more to cause harm to the American people in one single day than every previous president combined - yet he's still at it!

I thought this video made a good job of trying to explain the phenomenon:
